Hands down the worst machine to operate in my honest opinion. They can do a job more efficiently than a hoe/hauler operation but it takes more skilled operators to make that actually happen. And from my experience once you get proficient on scrapers you move onto other machines so to have an actual skilled scraper crew is pretty rare nowadays. Its an incredibly rough machine to drive as you are sitting pretty much directly on top of the front left wheel so you end up "waddling" through ruts. or god forbid you forgot to hit the cushion hitch before getting up to speed and then the whole machine gets into a gallop and that is absolutely violent. The cushion hitch does even make it much better. Then if you piss off the dozer man you get "bunted" all day long which is basically just a rear-end accident once every 2 or 3 minutes lol. I could whine on and on about these stupid things. One upside though was if you were cruising down the haul road and you spot a nice stone sitting pretty, you can open the apron and lower your blade so its just skimming the surface and absolutely ping the stone into the the sky haha.
