  • Video from the few times I ran the John Deere 540a log skidder for the year. Pulling some trees, a truck out, a track loader, installing an alternator.

    I've been watching Andrew since probable back at 30k subs if I'm not mistaken. I started watching some time around when the castle was getting finished up. Somewhere near where the gantry in the garage being built. I'm a early retired plumber because of health issues. So I live vicariously through your channel. Any Labrador lover is a guy worth give shot and I think that's probably what first caught my eye. With all that I see on YT and people becoming quite successful for complete nonsense it's so awesome to see someone who is such a hard worker make it. Even though we will never know each other I feel a sense of pride witnessing what you've made out for yourself. For us common folk who have an inborn love for playing up on a tractor or other piece of equipment for myself your the closest thing that I would call a hero. Truly living the dream. My grandad who was a multi millionaire in the HVAC business , he had a saying if you watch the pennies, the dollars will mind them. You putting in the hard work to source these used equipment and making them certainly cost effective is impressive. Your capabilities as a company are enormous. Lots of people probably have no idea that if you purchased all that equipment new or slightly used, you'd have way over seven figures. Anyways keep up the great work. America needs many more men just like yourself

    Skidders are great in a clear cut. But if you are just thinning or have to make a lot of turns you can really damage your most "noticeable" remaining trees. In the video at 12:30 you can see a log tearing the outer bark layer off the large standing tree. Once the growing cambium layer is destroyed the tree is dead on that side where the damage occurred. Trust me when I tell you that every time you drive past you will see those skidder scars on all those prominent scenic trees. The best harvesters will leave a sacrificial tree at the corner of every tight turn of a planned route to prevent damage to the nice ones. On the last pass they carefully drag out all the torn up sacrificial trees. Try to harvest in the dry season when the bark is tougher. In spring early growth you can tear it off with your fingers it's so fragile. Dressing the logs at the fell site will promote nutrient return and, really important for your property, control erosion until the ground cover can establish.

    Andrew, it's not fair, that you are so mechanically adept and now, so artistic. Your music choices, editing, and storytelling all come together to make such a solid channel. (And hear I thought your dad was the only creative Camarata.)
    I hope you had a nice Thanksgiving.

    Dude you have got to invest in battery isolators for your machines the amount of batteries I’ve seen you go through! The skidded kicks ass a real handy bit of kit right there. Looking forward to seeing the crusher up and running their another great piece of gear that will come in very handy given the type of work you do

    On our 660 we put hydraulic hose connector on our coolant hoses and the same on the pickup we drive to the logging site. We would exchange coolant for a few minutes. The 660 would start that way.
    We always had a hard time keeping the batteries charged.
