I work on an air medical helicopter and things are starting to get stressful. Today I came home feeling a bit overwhelmed. Watching this video put me in a much better place. Thanks for what you do.
Always great episode when it starts with the box trailer pulling up
Definitely!
Andrew is on first name terms with the driver now.
Agreed
Thanks Andrew I loved it! Those tracks are difficult to replace when in a confined space like a narrow drift (tunnel) underground in a mine, as myself and a mine mechanic had to do on a few occasions years ago at the Dome Gold mine. We had to use 4' scaling bars to basically force the track onto the Kubota KH41 mini excavator, like I said 'no' room to work, it took us about an hour to change one track, lots of swearing lol. The Kubota was used to dig drainage ditches and clean-up in between the rails as this was a 'track mine', it sure beat playing the banjo, hand shovelling lol.
@@johnveix The thing people dont tell you about the CNC machines is the SMELL!
Andrew, I have a tip for you, if someone else has not mentioned it. When you want to collapes your track adjuster, put a 2"-3" diameter log or piece of heavy wall pipe between the track and the drive sprocket. Slowly move the machine so the spacer collapes the adjuster. This is a trick I used working on Cats and excavators before breaking down, or removing a track.
Good luck.
This is exactly what we need. Working on the truck that "has just the right amount of dents" dogs, and new equipment. Keep up the great work.
Levi drinks the water. Cody bites it. Yeah, you've still got a way to go in training your apprentice, Levi.
@@maryannanderson7517 Cody is coming along, at least he isn't tasting concrete this time. :)
Young labs are chewing machines. Shoes, gloves, tree limbs. Anything they well chew up.
"pre-dented"
P I. ........even, Water is not spared !!! Lol !
I love work. I can sit and watch it for hours.
Thank you for sharing this with us Andrew.
With a lot of us in the UK, having to self isolate at home because of the Coronavirus, you and what you do is like a breath of fresh air. Keep on doing what you do and keep on showing us please.
Andrew, thanks for the new content while many of us are hunkered down at home. Nothing like AC videos to lift our spirits.
Knowing the tricks of the trade sure makes it look easy! You amaze me with the way you accomplish so much in your projects.
These days, having a secluded castle above the Hudson valley in the middle of nowhere is really a big advantage!
Sascha Zimmer just needs to be used in the next Zombie Apocalypse film 👍
After the roof project is wrapped up....
it's time to add
a MOAT!
(and DRAWBRIDGE!!!)
@@PatrickWagz I am SO on board for the moat! Yes!
Cannons .......got to arm the Battlements !!!
Looks like the middle of nowhere but there are plenty of other properties around there.
When I saw the stump remover on the truck i thought "This will be interesting" and by golly it was. Full marks to whom ever designed it. Very fast and so quick to install. Thanks again for another great video.
Your buddy owes you a ton of gratitude for helping him keep his Bobcat on the road ! 💪
Lord, Baby Jesus.. Thanks for content. Needed badly these days. Thanks Andrew
Sees plastic fender flare falling off , self-tapper through the side of the bed 😂😂
How it should have come from the factory!
Andrew Camarata has just put a new set of prowler tracks on a Bobcat T300 skidsteer and tested a stump grapple bucket.
Not one but three, LOL!
His methods at time may be crude, but he definitely solves the issue.
Just seen your CZcams show for the first time a couple of weeks ago. Been watching it for hours during the day. I been mesmerized by your ingenuity, forthright opinions and common sense solutions. Admire the quality work for your customers and commitment to the job with clean up/re visit to sites. They are a few practices in various shows I would recommend but hey, if it works why fix it. Safety is however number one.
Best line “don’t buy a bobcat” I love the he so openly voiced his opinion on equipment
xXSlyWolfTothXx Not sure how much is really funded from just normal failure or from under maintenance.
Also wouldn't trust somethings as he buys cheap old equipment with who knows how much mileage and how well it was serviced. So would take things with a major grain of salt on what he calls good and bad equipment just from those facts.
my buddy traded his 2 bob cat skid steers in for 2 new kubota svl 75-2's
i would be happy to have that thing, can't afford half of a new Hitachi, 70-grand my ass!
a good machinery should work for 100 years, i dont know how such a crack can be possible, even under heavy abuse so yeah...
@@sorin990 That's honestly catastrophically dangerous and after seeing about six bobcats now where some giant steel part is cracked like glass, i'd never buy one, id never rent one and i'm suspicious as f operating anyone elses ; nobody expects the g** d*** machine's entire arm assembly to snap in half and that could and probably already has gotten people killed & seriously injured.... and remember that's not the first bobcat he's had with ginormous steel sections split down the middle either, his other one had cracks in the lifting arm.
I've never seen another brand where machine after machine has thick steel parts split in half like that, that's horrendous quality metal not good enough for a set of soup spoons let alone a effin construction machine trying to lift thousands of pounds of weight.
I always get a chuckle how you baby all your equipment *except* when it comes to pickups.
Zip screw fix that right up. 🤣
Did those long screws go into a cavity? Could they hit the tire with the suspension fully loaded?
@@TrevorDennis100 There's usually more space under the fender than what travel is available to the wheels. The suspension will bottom-out long before the tires can touch those screws. I haven't checked out the specific suspension setup on that truck, but that's probably the case. Worse scenario, take a grinder to the backside and cut the screws short.
Thats how it should have come from the factory...LOL!
hes like a technical death metal solo to his trucks.
"That's a one foot". Lol. Love natural rock slab, amazing. Happy spring, Andrew. Days are gonna get longer now.
Impressive Andrew! No problems only solutions! You always figure a waypoint get the job done!
Yesterday my son and I started electric welding
Thank you for all help
I like the quick fender fix 😂😂
He always comes up with hilarious ideas but they work.
It's good when u can help ur self in everyway possible... that's what I love about Andrew 👍
Quick, easy and durable. Thats how its done. XD
You know it's gonna be good when it starts with a truck delivery
I was gonna say the same thing. You know those truckers appreciate his no nonsense off loading.
Sam Cyanide and self tapping screws in the fender
Truck freight Christmas days are the best Christmas days!
J Mac ) with an iPhone: is moo8
Levi puts up with so much from Cody. How patient he is.
Andrew, I love your videos. You make it so easy to do the work, plus all the tricks you do fixing things. I used to live up there in the Town Of Olive, I miss it up there. At the end of the video, it looks like High Point Mountain off in the distance. I lived on the base of that mountain. Thanks for your videos.
25:19 The moment I realize just how easy Andrew makes it look.
That wasn't him operating the Bobcat. :)
@@DILLIGAF65 That was my point...
yeah, it's really just experience. Andrew puts in a lot of hours on the machines, so he gets good at it. I remember the first few videos after he bought the IHI, he could not handle it well then. Huge difference to now!
@@fredrikg120 he is badass on that equiptment
it really is easy with a little experience. it was almost painful watching how slow and inefficient he was while scraping the rock off. he just hasn't had enough seat time yet. just like anything the more you practice the better you get
I'm always surprised at how well anchord and heavy stumps are. I've actually snapped one of my loader arms trying to get out a cedar stump. Good work.
Very enjoyable, thanks! You guys have great pieces of property. I'd love to live in the woods. Have at least 30 acres and a house in the middle. No neighbors, wood heat. A cool stream flowing through it. I've learned more about what different pieces of equipment can actually do here than ever before.
Equipment in order and the right accessory tool to do the job! Great video thank you! Sonny
Can’t wait to see the welding repair
Bigjqrl I’m scared to see it
That huge piece of blue stone is amazing guy.
dang it, i wanna see it all cleaned off and look at how large of an area is this flat too !
@@warrenmichael918 Cleaned and wet to make the rock patterns show. That's going to be pretty.
@@TrevorDennis100 good pressure washing after it is all unearthed would look great ! Awesome place to park equipment on or just to have that as a huge patio on the property too...hope it runs level and not go too deep making the surrounding dirt create a big wet pool when it rains, that would suck
Really love how you seem to know the exact limit of your machine, you don't waste time over extending. Great video.
Thank you for being you and putting these videos up. Times like these I look for distractions and this is the best. Been watching for over a year now. Keep going!
Thanks for sharing Andrew.
I almost strained myself at one point trying to help you push the first of the stumps over lol
Andrew does things with his machines that would be easier done by hand, but consider your hands and back after eight hours of that, and then knowing you will never get better rousting stuff by machine if you don't do and practice that rousting stuff by machine.
@@Don.Challenger no disrespect but you are preaching to the converted, been a follower of AC for a long time . Hope you are keeping well Don at this troubled time.
2:37 another life advice from Andrew Camarata, I remember when u said " watch me fixing this heater" 🤣🤣🤣🤣
don't forget about the radio fix. and the chainsaw
Please don’t forget about the radio 📻 fix, and the chainsaw.
I only call chainsaws "dash removal tools" now
Adam Gruszon Don’t forget when he fixed the heater/defroster in the white truck 👍
to be fair most of his trucks are dodges that blow up transmissions every 10k kms. i wouldn't care about the body either lol, that aint gonna be what kills it
Thanks ANDREW from Sunny North Carolina for keeping me enjoying your videos and please STAY SAFE
Your videos are so interesting. Finally able to use what I’ve learned by watching your videos. Had to use a small tractor to move large yard art statues.
Just what my quarantine needed!
What do you mean quarantine? You're allowed to go outside.
Those two dogs are living the dream life! Keep up the good work Andrew, love the videos!
You make that looks so easy! The stump bucket looks great as well, thanks for sharing!
Yes, this is awesome stuff, I think with the new tracks you're going to have a world of difference, thanks
You are like a surgeon with that tractor and forks! Great video and channel, best on CZcams! John 😎👍
I would love to know more about the geology of that area. Beautiful blue stone and that flat rock.
Melanie Hefner Catskills are made up of Sedimentary rock. Andrews castle is on what’s known as the Catskill escarpment or Great Wall of Manitou. It was carved out by glaciers advancing and retreating. At the end of the ice age Glacial Lake Albany was formed in the Hudson valley below his castle. That extended from NYC up to the Adirondacks
@@gimpy8349
I love to see intelligence in the comment section.
Gives me hope that the entire country is not filled with simpletons after all!
Quick question. Why so many dead trees in the areas in his videos?
Can't wait to see that slab all cleared off and nicely cleaned up ready for your friend to install an open sided shed on it like your own castle property has.
My friend helped me with his loader and excavator recently. (Some works like you do in the video) It looked not so hard, and my friend looked so happy with that. I just thumped up. I think bobcat is reliable for personal or home usage. Always, there's something to do with house, tree to cut, ground to dig, things to move. He looked so cool like you even he was not a professional worker. (with same loader) Maybe, I would buy bobcat t300 loader. I've cut and moved one tree with shovel for 3~4 hours and... I respect your dusty cloth... Don't worry, bobcat is with us...
GOD I needed this. Thank you Andrew
thank you , i’m tired of hearing corona this , corona that , we needed you Andrew !
Have you tried just adding a lime to your corona makes it much better
WSSRIOTCONTROL , funny , good one
The irony in your comment...
New video from Andrew and it looks like he just got himself a new toy. I guess all those things I had planned to do this morning will have to go on hold for the next half hour while I check out this newest AC video. If I hadn't seen the movie, Misery, I might say I'm his biggest fan but having seen it I don't dare. I'll just say I LOVE his videos! The one I am really looking forward to is when he paints his castle. That is going to be awesome! And sorry, Andrew, but actually the two males I have a serious crush on are Levi and Cody! What great little dogs!
President Trump blames China 🇨🇳 for the global coronavirus pandemic in which the coronaviruses have claimed over 9000 lives around the globe 🌏.
That stump bucket is a handy attachment, great video as always, thanks Andrew
That looks like it will be a very cool property when you guys are finished looking forward to seeing more of the project
I always joke with my boss about having a flat tire on his excavator. Then I see the worn out tracks on the bobcat and see it can actually happen! lol
Don't forget that the drive sprockets can wear out and the rollers too.
These videos are much needed right now, thanks Andrew
I’ve never noticed how steep your hill is Andrew and it’s great you do have the advantage which I think will keep the delivery driver happy.👍
Never a boring day working with Andrew...every day is a new day and a new adventure! That new attachment for the skidsteer...attach a vibratory to it and now you got something!
Levi is like "who's idea was it to bring the kid into the family??" haha
He's teaching the young'n some manners though. I think Andrew did the right thing getting Cody while Levi was still with us. It might ease the sadness of Levi's inevitable passing just the tiniest bit, and for thousands and thousands of Levi lovers all over the world.
Trevor Dennis hope fully Levi stays for a long time tho
Time is moving fast. Cody is growing up and at times, he is a bit rambunctious for Levi
@@kellygb9278 Levi seems to get a kick out of some of it. Gets to barking himself.
Old dogs live longer with company.
Between NY winters and Andrew you don't buy a pickup from this man. Lol.
Good video Andrew
So glad this came up. Sitting at home waiting out this virus, Andrew provides interesting entertainment, along with Levi and Cody. Thanks Andrew!
Second time round you make it look so easy. Back in the day, when they were clearing those forests for the first time they had picks and shovels, maybe chains, horses and oxen. And I guess fire?
Thanks Andrew.
When I saw him pulling on the fender guard I thought he might bring out his radio install chainsaw , glad he saved it for his next radio install .
Steps to watching andrews vidoes:
1) click like
2) hit play
3) scroll down and read comments :)
4) and watch of course...twice usually
Haha so true =)
That banging is the unsecured R/Side track tension inspection plate. You're an amazing individual, Andrew
Hello from Yorkton, Saskatchewan, Canada. Great show’s thanks for sharing with us.
I was watching the Ford tractor video yesterday and heard "It broke for no reason" A class AC-ism
Levi must love that hyperactive Cody continuously dartling around him on his old day.. ;-)
Levi is like "BOSS, can I kill him"?
@@jmac88022 Negative? Learn some form of humor and try again.
@@Robvdh87 I tried to be a comedian.... But everyone just laughed at me.
@@jmac88022 I wasn't laughing. You made a good point. Some young people and animals enjoy bothering the more mature ones, then while they're being "funny," they catch a bullet or something else catches them.
I tell ya, getting a younger dog brought my old dog back to life.
Great work accomplished: Good to see the”GO” in your Mind & Business!”
It's because of you i got my self a "big" project last summer, 1996 SPX ski that needed some work. Ended up cleaning everything and we had a lot of fun for just $500! Hopefully it will do me good this summer as well. In fact, i loved that ski so much that I've gotten my self another identical, needs some electrical work (i know that can be a pain, but couldn't resist not buying it for $150 !) Tnx for the inspiration !!!
I’m sad the video is only 30 minutes ! Idk what I would do with my life if Andrew made 8 hour videos .... I guess self quarantine! Lol
It would help with quarantine
I wouldn’t have a life lol
😅 now I can't even count that how many times he bought different types of buckets for skidsteer
Pretty sure there is a rocket launcher bucket somewhere.
@@LTT.Official lol or he might build it on his own if he didn't get in market 🤣🤣
Some heavy equipment manufacturer needs to bring him to one of their trade shows, cause one ten minute demonstration with Andrew at the controls and these guys would have orders for months lol.
I was thinking the same thing, and it occurred to me that being single he can spend his CZcams income any way he pleases. He ain't wasting it on no stink'n new curtains! An old friend of mine used to say 'He who dies with the most toys wins', and I rather think that Andrew is an odds on favourite to take that prize. It's not just skid steer buckets. He has bought every tool known to man while putting the new roof on the castle, and lets not forget that he has ordered the top of the range Tesla Truck. He left Chris Guins (Letsdig18) for dead right there with that purchase, and it came right after Chris had bout and was showing off his new Ford 150 (I think that's what Chris has - I am in New Zealand and don't know a whole lot about American trucks).
@@TrevorDennis100 yeah it's good that he buying different buckets that can be useful for him.
Great vlog Andrew, thanks for sharing and stay safe all.
Loved watching the video. Hugs for Levi and Cody ❤
Id love to see this project later after the stone has been all cleared off.
Agreed
Yesssss
i'd give my left nut to have a site like that turned up a stone flat. The place i work at has high water table come late winter and its more like finding a place that isn't a puddle of almost a shallow lake.... theres even been years of filling and compacting so its good for a while but the water just comes back....
@@peteb2 gotta get some drainage in and get the water moving
Stay safe Andrew, thank you for entertaining me while I’m in lockdown!
Those new tracks work perfect, Andrew!
I love how you fix the fender guard. Mad my evening
New toys, I mean tools...GREAT LIKE IT!❤ I am here with the "shut ins" construction crew.
When the tracks stretch from wear, the idler sticks out further. The extra length acts like a lever. When you turn sharp with a load on it the extra side pressure can cause the idler wheel bracket to spread.
Excellent Camera and editing....Makes a super cool video....Fun to watch.....Dog's and all....Thanks Andrew very much...!
Andrew, I really enjoy your videos a lot. I admire a person with your skills to do what you do.
You spend good money to buy good equipment for sure.
Even down to your Cameras and Drones those things are not cheap.
And you have two reasons for doing so. 1. Showing us viewers exactly what you do.
2. For future reference in your business. There is no such thing as your wondering where you put that pipe and etc.
All you have to do is refer to the videos of things.
Keep up the great work and keep these wonderful videos coming.
We all appreciate what you do.
That Pup sure is growing.
ASV RT 120 would be my choice for some attachments like this...
Great video Andy...
Me: I have a lot of schoolwork and I need to get it done right now.
Andrew uploads: I mean who needs school, it can wait.
School schould be closed anyway.

Not if your homeschooled. 😂😂
@@joashbowles8695 first day of homeschooling after schools closed, two of my students were suspended for fighting and the teacher was fired for drinking on the job..lol.!

AC you are a good friend. patient and practical. 👍🏼
"Don't buy a Bobcat"
truer words have never been spoken
Get a catapiller 246b
We've had good luck with them.
Are you kidding me? The abuse that he has with his machines.I would make a bet that other manufacturers would never stand up to the abuse that Andy throws at it.Simple neglect is his largest issue.Pins coming out of buckets, broken teeth, overheating on excavators.I enjoy the videos but facts are facts.More force is not always the best answer.Look at the first few minutes with him repairing the fender flare. Does he care? Apparently not.I would like to see a caterpillar stand up as well as this Bobcat. As mentioned I like the videos,especially Levi.
Honestly, the Japanese made heavy equipment are far better than any bobcat or caterpillar. Yanmar, Kubota, Takeuchi, IHI actually have machines that are built to be reliable and tough, unlike the delicate snowflake American stuff. They actually put time into engineering things that work in harmony instead of slapping pieces together and putting them out there. No wonder the Japanese stuff hold there value a lot more than the bobcat or cat
Ken this is not my bobcat, but I have other machines with almost 10,000 hours that never break, all the bobcats I did have were constantly breaking down.
Incredible!!
Love to see new videos I wish I had half the things you got your videos are what makes me get up every day and push myself for the equipment you have
I found your channel when i was looking for a good hot water power washer. 👍 I forget when but very helpful and entertaining.

Levi is to Andrew Camarata
as Cody is to people in the comments section.
I love that little dog. But then I love Levi too. They are great dogs!
@@maryannanderson7517 Yeah, a Labrador is like a good solid dog no matter what.
I wouldn't mind seeing that huge slab when he's cleaned it off, weird and interesting bit of nature that.
yeah, I wonder how those trees can even survive with that little dirt
@@fredrikg120 yes maybe.. here in Hawaii there's trees growing directly on top of the lava,
That would be a good foundation for some containers.....
@@fredrikg120 Driving around here in Colorado, you see trees growing straight out of the rock-face mountains all the time. Has always baffled me too.
I was like damn, Andrew is moving up in the world. Nice looking truck, new equipment and tools, and bam! Self tappers in the fender flair! There you go....
I get a good work out just watching these skidsteer vids - my thighs are aching from tensing and flexing in sympathy with it working. Oh, and the plastic wheel eyebrow fix? Priceless. Keep on keeping on, Mr. Camarata.
1) How heavy are those tracks?
2) He knew that stone was there when he bought it or he got lucky?
3) How rare is it to have that much flat stone in that area?
Faigy Blomkvist I think they are like 600 each. That stone is everywhere. But not always that nice.
@@AndrewCamarata that's your friends Kioto tractor? What's your opinion of it? Would you buy one?

🤘😂
@@johnkruton9708 your kitchen is full of soy, isnt it?
Keep them coming Andrew. I look forward to the lessons.
You are one hell of an equipment operator! 👍
I feel like he ran it so long with the bad track and thats why that forward roller channel is so hogged out.
No problem, he's got some left over beams from his castle roof to fix that.
The bad track popping off caused the stress, The more time you try to track it on again the worse it got, The fact that you need to put new tracks on sooner than later or add more grease to keep the tracks tight. Tracks will last a long time. Its due to tracking the track on and off. Once it pops off it put a lot of stress and there for that is the reason it is broke, The T300 and S300 machines are real nice. The newer T650 and S650 are nice too, Yet they are a bit weaker than the S models and balance is slightly more off.
@@kameljoe21 those t300s are a beast, i have a t190 and love it.
"That's fixed" ... this should be a t-shirt for sure!
"That's fixed" is a perfect "Andrewism."

Just sat down and saw Andrews video, sure made my afternoon better. Stay safe up there in the woods..
Your drone video work is fantastic!
Great videos!
Have you ever found anything interesting while digging? Like fossils, valuables etc?
New signed tracks with Levi and Cody? :D
Those tracks belonged to his friend. Maybe he'll give them to Andrew.
He said it was a pain to do
Andrew always have great ideas and good solutions.
Well that`s a sure fire way to re-attache trims that come loose!! LOL
Those tracks went on rather easily, and it would seem that we have another repair job video coming soon when Andrew decides to have a go at that track rail on the Bobcat!
