Popular Post gearhead204 Posted July 15, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted July 15, 2015 Ok looked it up the empty wt. of a ts-24 is 111,000 lbs. so your 63 tons would be about right. the 24 refers to how many cubic yards of materal the machine can carry which is 24 cy. they are a sight to see when "gang hitched" together, the one outfit i worked for had 3 ts-18's we would come into the cut and hitch together and shove the 1st. one into the cut, then as he was loaded the center guy would drop his can and the front and rear guy would push/pull him to get loaded, and then the last guy would drop his can and the two leads would pull you thru the cut,then unhitch and run to dump. Yardo would have slit his wrists at the sight of that much oil being flung around in one spot that wasnt labeled as an oil well! 4 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/40911-terex-scrapers/#findComment-296698 Share on other sites More sharing options...

jakebrake86 Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 When I worked for my cousin in Memphis we had 4 TS 14's. 4-71's front and back. When you turned sharp you had to lay off the back throttle or it would push the front section up on one wheel. They were great little machines. 1 Quote Jake Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/40911-terex-scrapers/#findComment-296734 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post tjc transport Posted July 15, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted July 15, 2015 (edited) Cool! do you have any pictures of them?sorry, no. that was back in 91 and 92. all my pictures and negatives from the old days were destroyed in a flood back in 95.the worst part about them dang things was the fact that the drivers compartment was on top of and wrapped by the 175 gallon hydraulic tank.10 degrees outside and when you fired it up in the am you were wearing a subzero snow suit. 1/2 hour later you were stripped down to a pair of shorts and t shirt with the windows and door open, and still sweating your cajones off.

hicrop10 Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 We had a fleet of 20 of the ts24's.We also ran Cat 657's and some 631's.The reason we always went with the ts24 was the price and the fact that they were simple to work on compared to Cats.Will have to dig out some pic of them.We would drive them around like they were kiddie cars.Once penndot crack down we used our 10' wide lowboy. 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/40911-terex-scrapers/#findComment-296786 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post gearhead204 Posted July 16, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted July 16, 2015 i blame the destruction of three discs in my lower back to the "fun" i had racing scrapers! however the trophy has to go to a guy i met in cle Elum Wa. he managed to roll a loaded terex loadrunner onto its side on flat level ground after a power slide went bad in a 45 degree corner! 3 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/40911-terex-scrapers/#findComment-296810 Share on other sites More sharing options...
