That's a setup you'll see around here from time to time. No regular pans left at all. Most prefer the hoe and truck method of moving dirt. It really depends on if you have competent operators. Pan can move a lot of dirt quick but you have to know what you are doing to do it. One good man on a hoe and 4 on trucks moves a lot of dirt with only one smart one.Was going nto Sonny Bono wildlife preserve and came across this, never seen a scraper behnd a tractor.

I thought Pete was referring to a old Harley.Well there are similarities... don't think Ive even been on a pan/scraper/buggy with brakes. Early on the old timer told me thats what the bowl was for.
Lots of stories in this area of scrapers in the 70s and 80s that were just driven job to job. For road use you bit a bunch of old 11R20's and when you need to reduce speed juat dropped the bowl. Apparently it was quite the smoke show and a production. Times have changed.

Meh... that's what keeps the patching/resurfacing crews busy. Trickle down economics.Saw that in live action, too. Asphalt not a good match for a cutting edge. Oopsie
Our best day runnin 3 740B’s loaded with the 349 is just over 12k yards. Running 2 627’s and 2 637’s being pushed with a D9 we did 10k. We used to only use scrapers. They still have their place, stripping topsoil for example but 4 machines can move more dirt than 5 and burn much less fuel. We’re a small crew and almost everyone can run every piece of iron on the job, efficiently.That's a setup you'll see around here from time to time. No regular pans left at all.
