I operated a 631D in 1988 in Western Australia that could pull 45mph unloaded on a long flat haul and a 633D that could pull 42mph fully loaded - while sheeting the Mt Newman to Port Headland road. Both had direct injection engines. I once walked a D9L 25km to un-bog the 633 when it got stuck good and hard in the mud, then walked it 25km back… turning it around every half a mile so not to wear down the drive train. Ahhh… fun memories. Now I work in an office… sigh…

Yes, it's ONE OF the fastest scrapers in existence...However, the CAT 660 three-axle scrapers (in their heyday) have attained speeds up to 48 MPH with a full load in top gear on level ground or downhill, according to contractors who have used the CAT 660 and 666 scrapers in their projects....

I used to operate those in the early sixties. That is a DW 20 5 speed main and a 2 speed spliter. The only problem is they left the factory without good brakes. They way we slowed down was we always had the bowl very low and if we need to stop fast just hit the bowl down and let it drag on the ground. Yes they were very rough if they didn't keep the haul road bladed.

Yes, some of the earlier equipment had some tall gearing. But stopping power was the issue. The DoT required better brakes as time went on so now most equipment falls in the "Slow Moving Vehicle" category. I remember old graders that could hit highway speeds!.

I used to play in these as a kid, and my dad at one time drove from Fresno to Bakersfield in his DW20 along with the rest of the fleet, down hwy 99 in California. Some had seats, but none had brakes, so a tire was mounted below the can in case of emergency. And Yeah, they had a reputation of hauling ass.

DW20 are the toughest scrapers every made. I have 20,000 hours in the seat and pushed them for 30+years . If you kick them out of gear on a safe down hill you can get them over 50 mph easy. 20s will get a hopping on you if the tires are un matched. So watch it and stay safe. I still run them in my sleep.
