Cat’s current largest scraper in action

Roving plant enthusiast/reporter Chris Maginnis, the man behind the Awesome Earthmovers channel has recently spent time in California, America with another internet plant sensation Aaron Witt of Buildwitt Media.

Cat’s current largest scraper in action
During Chris’s time in California Aaron took him to see a Caterpillar 657G which is owned and operated by San Diego based LB3 Enterprises, a company which was founded by Larry Brown and has over 60 years’ experience in the earthmoving, grading and underground utilities sectors.

Anyway, enjoy the video which is of excellent quality as we have come to expect from Chris.
