"people usually get mad when you set the woods on fire"lol another great camarata quote
Well as long as you plant some new trees somewhere, a bonfire is always a good excuse for some hot dogs and a cold one.
It’s just missing the “for no reason”
I can't speak for the others but as some one who dose the same work as you but on the other side of the world we love your maintenance videos. Please.
Ok, if I do anything interesting ill film it.
“People get upset when you set the woods on fire”, I was choking on my spit when I heard that one.
I love your videos. Very well produced. It's refreshing to see a young buck like you that knows how to get shit done. Thanks
As a Baby Boomer I can't say the music goes with the great videos. So I watch on my tablet and listen on my phone to Solid Gold Oldies with some 70's and 80's to change things up. Keep up the good work
Quite amazing these tall trees have such shallow roots n they hold down so firmly.
It took me 30 years to decide chaps were good for me... when I cut my leg. I know you're a pro, but please consider the investment. LOVE your videos!
Thanks. Hopefully I wont need them, they seem like a clumber thing to wear.
Dude you're on fire with these uploads! I love it
Fire video next.
Wish I had found you sooner! I cleared three of my six acres by cutting down the trees and then digging out the stumps with my tiny 1310 with a Kelly backhoe. Too small of a machine but I got it done .
Some good looking saw logs 👍
Matthew Cremona
Get them on the mill Matthew
Matt, I was thinking the same thing. I'm glad he saved the crotch....
Wow Matthew Cremona you watch Andrew channel cool love seeing you and his channel 👍🇺🇸👍
@@bige9055 sometimes you'll catch me wearing one of his shirts
Good advice on pushing over trees. I usually get dead trees down by gently pushing on them with the backhoe bucket of my Case 580. Even with a solid roof/ROPS I sometimes worry about dead branches breaking off and coming straight down into the cab. Could cause a nasty headache. Getting dead trees down can be a nightmare. Be careful out there.
You always manage to make an everiday job interesting. Good choise of music btw.
Interesting video and good muzak as always. Thanks for uploading Andrew
I love hard work!! I could sit here all day and watch it! Lol in fact can now !! Kidding aside great work Andrew
It’s coffee time so it’s Andrew time, really just another excuse to watch more of your great video’s / some day I will watch them all then start all over again, thank you Andrew and Levi
Andrew, you def need to check out a tree shear (like sissors) for the skid steer! Cuts and handles 14" trees. Also cuts firewood super fast.
Great bunching technique with that grapple. I just got one and can’t wait for the next clearing job!
ootsam yeah, that grapple is great. I used to just use the excavator to move logs. The grapple is much faster.
Glad to see you wearing more safety equipment, (forestry hardhat w/face shield) you need some chainsaw chaps and rip stop gloves! Stay safe you are the most important tool in the shed lol
Wonderful job, great work. If you learn to float your boom you can do a much easier and faster leveling of the rock or dirt. Also I always have the dump truck dump the loads in 3 or 4 smaller loads which makes it easier to spread and it doesn't overflow the width of the driveway. Works for me.
That was probably one of your best videos, thoroughly enjoyed it!
Great work, small peace of advice with the chain saw. Complete your under cut first approximately 1/3 of your stock the cut from top down, cut small to large. Keeps the weight off the trunk section. Remember to keep those chains sharp, easier to manage and Less of a chance of kick back. When your chain is stuck a wedge is your friend. Good to see you wearing face and eye protection, 5 minutes of safety is a life time of work....
Consider using your demo bucket to pick up those trees to make it easier to cut to size - prevents bar getting stuck/running your chain thru dirt. Same when you have your excavator w/thumb.
This is encouraging because I've got to take out a few dozen trees to clear space for a new orchard I want to plant on my homestead and I've been considering how big an excavator I'd need to do the job. Thanks!
Glad to hear, that size machine will take out any tree, but the big ones you need to dig around for a while.
I watch your videos with my little boy. He really digs your industrial music.
I wish you would fabricate better protection on this and any other equipment you have that needs it, you are the most important tool in the shed! Where would we be without you, stay safe Andrew. All your fans care about you a lot!
Boy that crab-claw skid-steer bucket is way handy. Looks like is was faster than excavator with thumb. Never seen clearing done that way.
Guess it's called evolution.
You even are able to clean, smooth and finish with the bucket. Bet you're happy with that purchase Andrew.
Andrew, your videos are simply the best! I look forward to everyone of them and I go back and watch them again and again! My favorites are videos of your home castle build. Something I have always dreamed of doing. Thanks so much for all the fantastic content. I wish I had a fraction of your skills and knowhow!
Eddie Oakes glad to hear, a new castle progress video is coming soon.
That's great news Andrew! :) I'll be looking forward to it! Best wishes and warm regards!
You were right Andrew ,all those trees had large limbs that broke off when they hit the ground. Like the song " steady as she goes" . Another cool video
Sad, the loss of Ash Trees 🌳 from infected cargo wood pallets.
Yellowish bark & yellow/purplish fall leaves. Last to leaf, 1st to drop leaves.
Great for MLB bats. Knotless grained wood. Strong but lightweight. All GONE !!
so thats how them little buggers got started -huh. i lost over 35 trees on just 5 acres.
Trees Climbing Gear yeah, oh well.
Gotta love when the bind brothers grab your bar lol
your videos are my therapy, i love the time lapse! it looks like you could use a extra set of hands out there lol always having to get outta the cat to cut the trees!
brad thanks.
Love your way to clean up your job. Thank you for sharing your amazing video. God bless you and your family
Thanks
I agree with the other people,very good work Andrew sir. Keep the videos coming. thanks
Andrew, I've got a similar size machine (cat 304ccr) original had a 24" bucket that I learned to dig stumps with. Long story short I put a bobcat x-change coupler on it for ease of use, and I can't get anything but bobcat buckets around here, bought a new 24 and 12" bucket. WOW, a 12" bucket is more than twice as quick at digging stumps and breaking roots.
@14:00 - It is amazing how fast you are cutting those trees. lol
Andrew, you're freaking amazing!!!
Thanks
excellent as always.
Hi Andrew, That big pile of wood had me thinking does the land owner plan to garden on the property? Could have made some impressive hugelculter mounds with all that waste wood. Still though looking forward to the fire video too. Cheers, Bill
Great choice of music !
I really like your videos man! Interesting, informative, and all around pretty cool. Subscribed!
Thanks
I know you are working hard and getting the customers job done but I could sit and watch your great work all day. Yes the time lapse is great also. Music is OK but I could listen to you work and it would be just fine...Mike
Thanks, when the video is sped up, there is no more audio. So I add the background music.
The background music is always great on your vids. I'm not sure how you do it, but keep on doing it.
Andrew + Yanmar seems unstoppable clearing trees ! - excellent work! - watching from the UK -
I am jealous of how much space you have in the US - roughly where are you based?
All your videos get a thumbs up from me!
I like the as well and I believe he maybe in Upper New York State! It’s very densely forested up by Canada! I don’t think he’d be able to hardly any of the things he does if he lived in New York City! 🤣😅😂
Great job as always, you were having a good time!! The property I own in the southern tier of NY, all the ash trees are dying by the hundreds. I have a lot of good brush fires with the tops. A lot of firewood.
Yes, that ash wood burns nice.
Ash is great firewood, but I'm going to miss a couple of the best trees in my yard when it hits MN really hard.
I'm glad you mentioned the risk's involved in knocking down old dead trees, I had one drop it's large limb on my , actually, my John Deere 350, but thankfully it did have a ROPS system that saved the day,....and my head!
Reg Sparkes yeah, that Yanmar has nothing so I'm careful. Stuff with big metal roofs, I'm less careful.
Mesmerizing and methodical
Love your work and videos!!!
Thanks
The under carriage in the skid steer is real strong to lift the enormous weight and go with it... Well sorry for warning you about trees in a prior video, you said it yourself making me the fool. I was being cautious as I do have some experience myself and still learning about the multitude of talent you possess. You go in to a forest and leave a farm behind. Very nice job
Definitely nice to have the right tools for the job! Hard to imagine what it would be like to do stuff like that without hydraulics and whatnot... You made quick work of it all. Looks like a nice little piece of land, few acres? Thanks for sharing!
Yeah, that was a fun job.
This is real good common sense, safe, Hard working man.You might learn something.
Those quite funny statement.
People get upset when you set the forest on fire.
Smokey the Bear gets really pissed off.
Very nicely done.
Thanks
Those are 2 MUST HAVES !! On my next Christmas list .....Multi Terrain Loader/ CHECK ! ... Mini-Ex of Moderate Size WITH Thumb/ CHECK !
Nylon wedges to stop your chainsaw from getting jammed. Well worth it. Also great fro dropping trees.
You do great work
Very Tidy job Andrew,nice one.
Tom Keir thanks.
@@AndrewCamarata Very good job!!!!!
Good way of getting rid of trees
3:35 - I like the thumbs up to the camera!
I live in the midwest and the problem you have with ash trees, we have with elms. I've taken down a lot of small elms in development areas that were once woods, or farms. I didn't have Bobcats or excavators to use though, just ropes, my pickup and chainsaws. I did lot of cutting and finding a place to take the stuff wasn't easy. I didn't have a chipper either.
LOL... I had to listen to this 3 times to make sure of what Andrew said at the 00:37 mark. At first I thought he said, "... a bunch of dead ass trees over there".
Yeah, Ash trees
I have been watching a number of your vids; that smaller excavator with the blade has to be one of your handier tools.
im glad you are being safe. cutting up trees is one job that i don't like. id rather work on a roof or crawl under a house.
I’d love to build my dream house there
in reference to the plastic roof on your excavator (while pushing trees over)...you can get a good plastic called Lexan to make a safer roof. you can get it online or from a local glass shop. 1/4" thick should be thick enough. you can take it to a sheetmetal shop and they can shear it to size for you. it can be broke in a press brake if you want to bend the edges over. when drilling holes in it, you need to use a dull drill bit and melt a hole thru it. there may be a better way to drill it but that is what I have done. you can get it in a 4' x 8' sheet or lesser sizes. this stuff is pretty tuff. be safe young fella.
Being in the same style of country and weather patterns, I was wonder few things, first and foremost I love your stuff. you are a really good fabricator, why is it you dont inclose some of your cab's. for those realy bad weather days. I also own a weld shop and an landscaping business.
Wow that’s awesome 😎
Brilliant viewing. Ta!
Music is rocking love ty
Best rockin' sound track of all your videos so far, imo (whatever that track is that comes in around 5:40 mark)... and I've watched everyone you've released including the B role stuff, and many more than once.
So, yeah.
Great video
I dont know if you have already mentioned it , do you take the trees you cut down to a sawmill,
unless the owner wants them?
In my area first thing is silt fences and must stay inside of LOD
I see yours is versital. I had a kabota 4x4 loader but I will study the skid steer. Thx
Great job, Andrew. I came onto this video because of a specific search related to equipment:
I'm clearing an overgrown fence line, mostly saplings, vines, and brush. Due to budget, I have to decide between either a skid steer/track loader, or an excavator. Which is the most productive, bang for the buck to make best use of time and capabilities?
Would have been sick if you burned that pile at the end and caught it with the drone footage. Loving your channel man happy I found it!!
That's why you're the man...just noticed you have another video of you burning it
Love how the music goes from cheery Mario type stuff to heavy metal breakdown 😂
Andrew if I weren't out of your service territory I'd hire you and Tx for all your great videos. if clearing a bunch of stumps would you call that "grubbing" Tx, Rich
I've seem a lot of your videos now. You put so much time in a machine so wondering how you cope with bottom and back issues? Looks like a lot of your seats are very worn. Thanks for the videos.
I LOVE THE WAY THAT THING SHOVELS TREES IN ITS GOB :)
Invest in some chaps man! Especially since you work by yourself most of the time. Doesn't take long to bleed out if you nick a femoral artery.
Jacobd123456 I've been running a saw since I was 8, never once did I ever come close to cutting my self.
Andrew Camarata not about cutting yourself. A faulty chain can get you. Never say never.
Accidents do happen even if you dont want them to, I second that you get some chaps.
agreed, I seen a guy hold his own knee cap from just such a thing, in army cadets
Thank you , Andrew .
Tusen takk for god underholdning 👍🤗👍
thanks 4 video. be kind.
i don't know how this fella has time for his family never mind answering his comments, he never stops does he?.So can someone tell me where this amazing area is in the U.S.? Do you think he could fit me in for a little job in Merseyside U.K.? no probably not
Man!! I gotta get me one o them thar Yanmar tree fellers!!
Why would anyone get mad about the forest on fire ,gotta love that 😆
That appears to be in one day? Your productivity is amazing even IF you had a crew of 5, much less just you. Is that just a regular Husky rancher? I need something bigger and that seems to get it done.
pcdubya thanks, that is a husqvarna 357XP.
It's considered a "pro saw", it was like $750
That figures I was trying to find a 365 or 372 used, guess I'll have to cough it up for new.
nice job!!! :-)
Andrew - 1. What percentage of time on a job do you spend setting up and working video, and 2. Do your customers comment on them? I'll bet they enjoy them as much as your fans.
Nice Job! But where is your legprotection?
helo from the Netherlands, nice to see your videos! I just have one question, why you didnt use safety clothing when you working with the chainsaw? There is a risk you cut of your leg or get seriously injured
Aj K he doesn’t care, he wore no shirt while welding once
Man they didn't leave much in the way of vegetation for scenery on the property. But the saw mill is getting some nice logs and there was some nice firewood there too. Great video. Thought you were gonna wipe your camera out there a few times, lol.
Yeah, they might plant a few decorative trees once the site work is finished. I've nocked the camera over before. Those little Gopro cameras are tough though.
No thats an other with cabin in Orange withe i think he is from kubota
Andrew, quem contrata você para fazer todos esses serviços? Adoro seus vídeos! Abraço irmão!
it's usually locals who look up his business.
geralmente são os moradores locais que procuram seus negócios.
hope that translation isn't to bad. ;)
On black walnut very expensive save the root makes nice burl gun stocks
Why burning in the first place? Just put everything in a chaffcutter. Gives a great base for a garden or lawn :)
Perhaps investing in a fops for the yanmar would keep the tree limbs at bay
Love it! Great work! What's the weight of the Yanmar? Is it a 50hp? It sure gets it done!
I think its like 4.5 tons. That machine works good.
Is there any request for wood chips used in landscape decoration there? When I clear ground for a customer I rent one and re sale all the chips for bedding or etc. I'm able to sell the big wood for fire places. If I did only these I wouldn't make Money but adding these to the principle work it makes nice extra money. I wonder if you had a fixed helper would you work so well? I'm set up so well to work only that when I have help I take more time! Maybe your the same?
Just keep doing the same because it works. Try to keep the size of business you are. Lean and mean. No payroll to make to employees at the end of the month. Your Italian friends I proud of you!!
Military Museum woodchips are not worth much. I had a chipper, burning is way more fun. I've have tried helpers in the past, couldn't find anyone that was any good, so I work alone. Thanks.
Andrew Camarata ...Me to. Couldn't pay someone that I constantly tell them how I want it only to turn my back and they do it there way. STAY one man operation!!
If they even show up, and aren't smoking cigarettes the whole time.
The Ash are infected with a disease. You wouldn't to introduce it to someones garden via mulch .
They are actually being killed by an imported insect (Emerald Ash Borer) and not diseased!!
"People usually get upset when you set the woods on fire" Andrew
Looks like where your at is having the same problem with vines climbing trees and killing the tree, as we are in Mississippi.
There was a beetle that killed the ash trees.
