Why aren't scrapers used much anymore by the way?

The prohibitive cost of the equipment, there are inflexible on many civils job these days (most of the big jobs have been done), and we don't have the weather or the soil types for year round or even most of the year working needed to justify the cost.

Having said that they are unbeatable in the right situation. Some firms run a few for say brickyard work, large infrastructure works, power stations etc but these are few and far between.
