I bossed a fleet of these when I was a foreman for Random construction in the 80s I also had 41s . I had two ridges side by side with 200 foot cuts and I put the 41s on one ridge and the 660s and I also had a 666 on the other and by the end of shift the mountain was gone under the 660s and only half way down to the daylights under the 41 spread and I had new 9L push cats on the 41s I had D9 H push cats on the 660s . later in the 2000s I had a big spread of 660s again for McCoy construction . Those o’l girls will move a lot of dirt in a day that’s for sure.

Backyears ago, when I enlisted in the Army as an equipment operator, the scrapers we had were awesome. They were a 2 part machine, the tractors were made by either Cat or Clark equipment and the bowls were made by Westinghouse ( WAPCO) or Euclid. Both were 20+ cubic yard.

MrDmc621 The push cat hand is waving his arms because he can't run a pit well and takes it out on his scraper hands. He needs to calm down. It is only dirt. When I run push cats I keep calm and run my pit so my scraper hands know what I want. No need to be a jerk. I've run 660's and pushed them. Anyone that has knows they aren't the best when it comes to steering. You have to adapt to this and think on the go.

Doug Berry ....The first high drive D10 came out in 1976 and sold to a winery for ripping grape vines. This is the same year SALT tracks were introduced which are required for a high drive track configuration to work because of the extreme loads to the chain from the sprocket to the rear idler.

You learn 2 pick up the scraper real fast and smooth or you had a Canyon 2 run through when u back up or you learn 2 come into the cut real smoothly and not leave a Canyon because they had 2 back up and get there filling 😉 knock out of there teeth so you learn real fast to be smooth getting into the cut and out of it..I did notice that's the scraper did not have side boards on them like the one I operated brought back a lot of memories but I still like Operating the 666 better .More power more speed have a lot faster. jk
