- Buying a 1987 Galion VR84 vibratory roller:
0:00 into and move home.
3:20 Roll shale
5:30 roll some bluestone pieces into pothole.
6:54 2 years later working on electrical problem.
10:00 rolling over lawn mowers
15:20 Bring in garage to fix stuff, Dumpster Dave did more on his channel
24:05 Rolling rock
26:33 Replace skid steer track
29:35 Put out more shale, driveway maintenance, and rolling it
32:30 Loading on Daves truck to move to mountain property
35:00 Unload and start moving up hill, then getting it stuck

Admittedly one of the more creative ways I've seen Andrew remove undesirable trees
I was just thinking the same thing
Andrews obsession with turning big rocks into small rocks has been an interesting journey. 😄
Big lawn mowers into smaller lawn mowers...parts
I could watch that rock crusher he has all day long.
he would have made a fine inmate in the old days. 😀
It's turned into my obsession.
someday Andrew is going to realize his youthful indiscretion and start turning small rocks into big rocks
"At least it's still right side up" - the consistently positive attitude in the face of adversity is always an inspiration!
Just a tip Andrew. Never vibrate the drum when the machine is stationary. It hammers the bearings in the vibrator housings on one area. I worked for Galion many years ago. All the best.
It absolutely does, it also hammers the operator to bits too when stationary.
Awesome video. You need the D7. The winch on that will pull that roller in half.
On concrete or hard Asphalt maybe but soft gravel won't hurt it.
@@steveandjenny149 just like every guy ive ever known xD
what about running over a lawn mower?
This video was freaking fantastic. From crushing mowers to several people almost dying multiple times. Awesome 😂
..yes!...definitely some @ss puckering there near the end....
Best comment! Near death is the ultimate in AC entertainment.
Just wait till he gets his helicopter
i appreciate that Andrew finds time for other projects amidst his busy schedule of replacing skid steer tracks
#8 on trending? Been watching for a few years and it is crazy how well your channel has done Andrew
Never a dull moment with Andrew. Its not the first time the mountain fought back. Good luck.
Its hilarious as andrew saying atleast its still rightside up,yeah never a dull moment trying to take a 2wd roller up an iced-up mountain road,what possibly could go wrong right!😁
Everything that goes up there has to take a beating before it even starts a job lmao
@@e.s.4136 WOW......lol
I thought you supposed to have the D-7 pull everything up the hill .... might as well keep it down a the base of the hill...a least the does and nobody got hurt.... expect the lawn mowers
Always a must-watch moment whenever Andrew gets a new machine!
Yes but it's a good idea to stand back
All his lawnmowers start sweating
God i love this guy. He buys a roller and immediately starts running over and flattening lawns mowers and stuff. Like a big kid at heart. Keep it up!!
Andrew is the definition of “this is why we can’t have nice things”😂😂😂. My man did with that roller what all of us would have wanted to do lol
If Andrew ever opens a restaurant, don't drink the water.
Actually, that was the CLEANEST water i have ever seen coming from a... gearbox??? XD
Don't eat anything from there either, except oranges and bananas that you peal yourself.
Yeah i did actually eat some meatloaf at his new roadside diner,Had to send my food back as there seemed to be some sort of chainsawed plastic dashboard chips in the meat ?
@@JackMacLupus it looked like it came straight out of a mountain oO
Maybe he fix the steaks with his new vibratory roller also... LOL
When you buy your grease by the barrel, you’re in deep.
Not as deep as that roller ended up. A real cliff-hanger!
Its cheaper to buy it by the drum,,tubes are the most expensive
Genius! Cheaper to buy a 30 pack instead of a 6 pack!
cliff-hanger ..oh the pun of it
@@mackfisher4487 from the looks of it, nobody there was having pun.
That track change was impressive. Never seen it done almost 100 percent with machines
You should see it done properly by Dirt Boss . He was on the 973 building Andrews road a few episodes ago.
Unlike Andrew, Mike (Dirt Boss) is very professional and you can see how he changed the tracks on his skid steer.
Excellent job not dying on this one. Keep up the good work 👍
LOLROF
It's just a matter of time. 😬
Hold judgment until this video is continued. Either human or dog shall perish.
@@rlwdaman1 We’d all really hate for that to happen but some of this seems quite risky 😯
Like for no reason my insurance got canceled
Awesome. Andrew is bringing “sketchy” back and violating engineered limits everywhere. Love the content.
Safety factors are for sippers. :-)
OSHA approved!
Come with me and you be in a world of OSHA violations. 😂
I'm sure many have mentioned it and not something overlooked by y'all, but standing behind that with that wire under tension seemed supremely dangerous. Glad you're ok, what an adventure! Best
hall thing was dangerous . sometimes i think he dont care he does this all time ,
WOW! Is there anything Andrew cannot do?😯
Other CZcamsrs: ALMOST CRUSHED BY MY NEW ROLLER FALLING OFF A MOUNTAIN!!! Raw footage.
Andrew: buries the most stressful and honest content in a video.
I love this channel.
My thoughts exactly!
dude is on the spectrum..
Rolling tips from a professional roller operator.
1. Only use vibe going up hill. It you use vibe on a steep downhill you will start sliding and loose control.
2. Sweet spot for compaction is 12 strikes (vibes) per linear foot.
3. If you do loose control immediately turn the vibe off.
Also you got the roller so cheap because the drum is not driving like it's supposed to.
I do not think the drum was ever supposed to drive on this, I only see one set of hydraulic lines going to the front drum
4, when in a tight place, stick you tongue tip out just a bit
5, when rolling up to other workers, if they look at you and laugh, they are making fun of you. roll them over....
My girlfriend agrees.
I wonder if Andrew has used up all that blue grease from the drum he bought at the yard sale?
Words from experience, hope we all listened and learned. Thanks
So glad that you have gone from fixing lawnmowers to flattening them. It shows just how far you have come. Even though I am a lawnmower mechanic, all I care about is that you are doing the things that you love to do. Thank you so much Andrew
That was some deep-seated hate against those mowers.
I saw some spare parts getting flattened BUT, whatever was left, must've been beyond salvageable.
I died a little when I saw an opposed twin Briggs in that green Murray, those motors are great. But who knows, I’m sure Andrew wouldn’t destroy a mower that isn’t junk.
It's easier to separate the steel, aluminum and plastic from each other if the mower has been run over by a roller a few times. Easy scrapping.
2:32 "I guess I could be steering it" as the several ton vehicle slowly rolls off the back while hes holding a camera. That's just great! I needed a good laugh after a crappy day yesterday. Thank you for that :)
Another great video . Only Andrew can make the crushing of rocks into a dramatic saga , totally interesting and entertaining , love it !
"Who needs a rock crusher when you've got a roller" (buys rock crusher shortly after) lol classic
Makes you wonder if he ever got it unstuck
@@aljohnson1191 ü
Well, that statement was "probably" done TWO years ago, so he didnt knew that a rock crusher whould be on his wish list soon. XD
Buys what he wants now that he’s a millionaire thanks to you tube.
Since he only releases full projects no matter how long it takes, those stuff happens all the time, some videos takes so long his other dog was alive in some scenes.
It seems like the Skidder is the most useful wrecker of choice . Always a pleasure . Andrew has the tenacity unlike any normal human being .
I like the small detail of mentioning how much it costs, I was watching older videos and noticed you always mentioned it before. I think It gives a reference point for someone who might wanna do what you do
"runs and operates but no brakes" lmfao bro this is why i will always watch you. straight legend
Ran when parked. Buyer to collect!
This is by far the best video that you put out. You actually show when things go South, and you do whatever you can to fix it. When the weather is extreme and shuts you down, you are determined to go back later to resolve the issue. Can't wait to see your next video on this.
You have not been watching long if this is the first time you’ve noticed things going south. It’s a miracle he has not killed every dog he’s owned letting them loose around moving vehicles and working equipment and running around while he has something spinning and throwing debris at high velocity
😂 NEVER a dull moment with Andrew. I’ve been waiting for a new upload for a lil bit. So good.
I'm 56 years old and that is the first set of battery terminal spreader pliers I've ever seen ! That was worth the price of admission !
That was one of your craziest videos ever! Glad no one got hurt. I bet the cat bulldozer with the winch get it back on the road. I knew it would be a battle to get the roller to the top of the mountain! Good luck
Make sure to Anchor the bulldozer to a tree.
@@jamesazure5577 And anchor the tree to another tree and then to the other side of the mountain.
😂😂😂
dozers dont work on ice
One of the most exciting videos you have ever made Andrew!! I was holding my breath many times!
These videos are more interesting than a movie that costs 100 million to make
Andrew consistently provides some of the most interesting and entertaining 'content' not just on CZcams but anywhere. I was holding my breath those last few minutes like I was watching Top Gun again.
Holy smokes that's for real glad you guys are safe . Thank you for bringing us along
Your clips always have so much more than the title.
Was on the edge of my seat 👏
I live vicariously threw Andrews channel, and I am sure I am not alone. I am also self employed and I find so much inspiration from his work ethic and positive attitude! Thanks for everything Andrew, you deserve to be recognized bro!
Wow! This episode became way more exciting then i thought it would be. Glad everyone is OK, that looked really sketchy when everything started to roll backwards. Good luck in episode 2.
Ha, ikr !
I truly agree I worked in the logging industry in Louisiana an I know all about retrieving equipment is this Red Clay we have down here
Total wild man, so much fun to watch. All your videos seem to fly by like all good things in life.
I've skidded lots of logs and pulled fully loaded log trucks with that skidder machine, you have all you need in power just use more shives in your block-and-tackle set up. That was a real "hold my beer " situation if I ever saw one! Great stuff. Work out your problem like always and stay alive.
Any other youtuber makes a whole video just of the recovery of the ROller, Andrew does not. He is a jewel in this world of CZcams.
next video: "Heavy Equipment Rescue Goes WRONG!!" LOL
Read description in the chapter sections. Getting roller u stick video coming next!
He said it ain't fun anymore. 😆🤣👍
Yeah, it's all fun and games, until someone loses his life over a POS roller. This one is over the top on being Dodgy!!
@@terencemerritt with a "Lets fix this roller i bought"
Hey Andrew, just want to say its great that your friends are in the videos. You are a BEAST but having friends help out with projects always makes it worth it.
watching that fiasco with the stuck roller is like watching the movie Fargo all over again: It just gets worse and worse! Respect, Mr Camarata for taking the time to film this - it must have been a huge additional PITA!
Love your content and humor. Keep up the great work!
Fixed up dump truck, new trailer and clean looking "new" roller...
makes for a satisfying picture Andrew.
2:48 into the video and Andrew has already coined another classic one liner😂 I’m just gonna ghost ride it…. Followed up by… I guess I could be steering it🤷♂️
This is sketchy!! LOL 😆
JUST GONNA SEND IT
I've seen this man do some sketchy stuff before but this takes the cake! 🤯😬❗️
Mower pancakes. Obviously the first priority! Another classic. On to the next video. Thanks Andrew, glad to see you guys all made it out in one piece.
Andrew, I really glad you called it before something bad happened or someone might have gotten hurt, injured or worse, I've been in those situations myself on logging sites with hilly steep ground it's not fun like you said. As always God bless yah from Gaffney South Carolina viewer 🙏❤️💯
during winter i really look forward to these looks back to summer to see what Andrew was doing
Down goes Frazier! Pulling that roller up the mountain was the best. It had it all, smooth sailing, tipsy turvy, I’m balin’, camera casualties and of course great video work. Even a minor front end bender! Thanks!😅😊
I like when Andrew is putting the new track on the skid steer the other dude is standing in the background just chillin 😄
This is one of the all time great AC videos!!!!
You are so adventurous -- no one can guess what you are going to do next !!! Great videos Andrew !! Keep up the great work !!
One thing for sure. Never a dull moment with Andrew. He is definitely Mr. Adventure. Keep up the good work. God Bless.
We went from nail biting tense cable pulls at the end to a temporary save resting place and then the beauty of the snow covered mountains. Well done Andrew!!
Andrew it was awesome to see the Castle garage home base again, in the video. Still looking forward to the garage addition build where your truck lift is.
Just another Academy Award video from the King! I have been following AC for years now and this one is the best for nail biting action!!!!! I can't wait to see the outcome! Thanks Andrew for all you have done for all of your viewers through the years! Take care!
Am so glad none of you guys got hurt. Take care and stay safe.
Camarata Tree Removal service has become a pretty sophisticated operation.
36:16. That whole, truck slides, he hops in, camera stabilizes, wonders why he hopped in, then you see the roller going in the mirror. That whole segment has me dying 😂
Another great video Andrew! Man, when you went for the roller, you took me back to my old road and parking lot days working for an asphalt contractor. It was tough in the Northeast - sunup to sundown from April to November but I don't have a bad memory as the tanned skinny laborer that could put down a lot of food and never gain a pound. I drove a roller similar to this one, along with dozers and dumps but also swung pickaxes, sledges, pounded in pins, shoveled and excavated. Never did much equipment repairs but maintenance was part of the job. On the debacle with the skidder and roller hi-siding off the road - you're not the only one with the problem. When that happened to us we actually had to cut a road/pathway like an offramp in a gradual grade and towed out that way. Best to leave stoning like your environment for the summer.
I always enjoy watching you FIX machinery. These days people are always in so much of a hurry to just replace it and throw out the old. A FEW scary moments there, sure a change of pants was needed,lol. But glad you were all unhurt
When you have a bad feeling about a piece of equipment even before you drive it off the trailer, you know it's going to go south 😂
That's a nice looking mack Rd..great video as always!
I love the side by side up on the container. Basically everything I would be doing if I had access to this equipment.
Definitely got my ab work out from all the "oh shit!!" jump reactions, haha! Im excited to see how you got it out!
Thank god you posted a video…. I was going into withdrawal
Another cool video can’t wait to see part two about the role of coming out of the hill
That could have been a hell of a ride be careful out their Andrew we all want to see u on the next one healthily 👍
Never a dull moment on the mountain
I can’t wait for you to upload the getting it unstuck video. That’ll be epic!
Never a dull moment when Andrew comes on
And I thought how exciting could a roller video be ? Knowing Andrew just watch and see. And Andrew delivered again 😄
I was looking forward to the brake job and then POW, "We got a runaway!"
You're the king of entertainment, Andrew! Keep up the great work. 👍👍from Canada.
What a cluster that turned into. The drone footage makes for some great shots.
ALL RESPECT FOR EVERYTHING YOU DO. I,VE BEEN A FAN FROM THE BEGINNING. THANK YOU,👍👍👍👍👍💙💛❤👍👍👍
gotta love the way the dogs just look at him like - WTF is he doing now 🙄😂
..I'm afraid one of them is gonna get run over someday, the way they run around close to all that heavy equipment when he's operating it...be bad to run over one of them with that roller...like a pancake!...
@@dyer2cycle Meh, they're not spaniels mate. Labs are pretty intelligent, they know what to stay away from...... and Andrew seems pretty careful and attentive with them too. Levi lived to a ripe old age, and he was bulldozin, jetski-ing, and blowing shit up his whole life ......
We need to get you to 10million subs, this is way better than any Hollywood action movie, right from the start when you ghost unloaded it to the suicide trail climb. You Rock!
Cool to see that old Ford still kickin’ ass. Love your videos!
I think it's very nice that Andrew has his little brother to assist him in various endeavors.
that is nice. Dude needs to hit some weights though.
Hey Andrew love your videos. God has blessed you so much. Your so smart. Thank you showing us your life. ❤️
Lets see what we learned today: Things that like to roll, often roll downhill direction. Beautiful mountains. Still avoiding injury/death happily.
and maybe fit tyre chains before towing a roller up an icy unmade road..
Awesome .... Cody and Blue know more about recovery than most companies.
Now watching that lawn mower get flattened out was fun stuff, thanks.
This was a fantastic literal cliff hanger ending. Can't wait to see how you get it out.
Yikes that was sketchy even for AC. I am glad you decide to let the roller sit until the ice thaws. Mother nature was fighting back hard on this one.
Love watching the rigging expertise.
This is a fine mess you've gotten us into, Ollie
Andrew is aiming to own one of everything by the time he’s 40 I guess 🙂
He already does 😆 🤣
He’s living my dream for me b
Actually 2 of everything, 1 for each property
Been there done that..
Cant make stupid midlife crisis purchases when you already own everything by then 😂
Note to self: Always bring stronger chains. Lots of stronger chains ---- especially when the job at hand is trying to get a very heavy machine up an icy, steep road. Funny thing about that tho --- Andrew always seemed to do ok by himself, but with a bunch of 'buddies' egging the job on when it was time to stop and reconnoiter, things seemed to go ----- downhill..... Anyways, always a great show!!!
Just glad no one was hurt my have to get out the dozer one pulling and one pushing just be safe Andrew thanks 🙏👍
At least it remained upright! LMMAO! I admire you guys! If it were me, I'd wait till Spring! Lol. Thanks for updates!
This video brings back memories of when I first come across Andrew's channel all them years ago, when this is all him and his friends did was destroy different things.
Dear Cleughy 87
👍👌👏 Yeah, he alone respectively his typical behaviour is already more than dangerous enough. But together with all those clowns (I would really like to use much harsher descriptions for all of them) it became even worse. I simply cannot understand why they didn't use a bulldozer/crawler additionally. And of course it was totally indispensable to get the roller up on the hill on a steep, icy road in winter.
Best regards, luck and health in particular.
Not much has changed since then.
I always liked his stuff but I became a true fan when he used the chainsaw to install the radio in his Dodge pickup. 🥸👍✅
Andrew always makes it interesting!
Omg, that made me pucker multiple times! Just glad no one got hurt.
Wow, look at all that greenery!..Spring has come awfully early to New York State!😆
Andrew, you teach us in a beautiful and special way how to solve complex things in a pleasant and humane way. Thank you
Love from Israel
Finally a new video! we've been waiting for it! Thanks for that Andrew! Greetings from Braunschweig Germany
Thanks for the liverworst
Leopard tanks for Ukraine please.
Crazy video ..I loved it. Thanks for the thrills Andrew.
I think all the push mower needs is a carburetor kit! 💪👍🏼
Probably.
Andrew Camarata - A brilliant man with 🎱🎱 of steel!
That was one of your best videos and very entertaining to say the least. Can’t wait for part-2
