Gday Rare,do you know how many scrapers Ertech still have and would they mainly be 33,s?.It surprises me the demand for a newer model 39 isnt there considering how much better they are in the sand .It can be a hard slog for 33,s in sand and considering the amount of subdivisions and mineral sand min...

Apparently Thomas contracting have bought one of those Ertech scrapers in your photo,s rare ss.It was a 39 so that makes 5 in the family now.

Colin Thomas,s 639.New front motor and new windows all round.Very tidy indeed.

Any one know of any 660s and 666s still getting around in the U.K and anywhere else over Europe?Be interested to know,im doing a little project on them for myself and my sons and trying to get an idea how many are still around.I know there are still some good fleets in the U.S.

Thanks Jeremy,yes abit differant to what they use nowdays.I think the cat trucks are called Elphinstone now.We also had a Kiruna,i think it was spelt,from sweden i believe,real flash fully enclosed cab etc .Only the special people were allowed to drive it ,sadly that didnt include me.Wigtrucks were ...

Seen an article on the 631K,dont know how many of the fellow member,s have seen anything on them. These were set up for push pull which i think is a great idea,you can slip one in with some 37,s and save on the big tractor having to push them.Trying to find out some spec,s for them.The word is Cat w...

Imagine that 3 of the big girls joined together.I think that was made by pederson or something like that.Another man with the funny name that starts L made a triple that was powered by electric motors which of course were powered up by a couple of diesel,s.Some very clever men in the earthmoving game

As far as i know there are only 2 scraper,s bigger than the 57 and they are both Cat,the 660 and 666.Could be wrong don,t know much about Wabco,s i know there were some really big machine,s in the 60,s and 70,s unfortunatly i did,nt see many of them.
