I think thats the first time Ive ever seen you say "Yup, not fixing that!" lol
I can't believe it either. I've been watching for years!!
That's true. Let's hope it doesnt set a precedent
He should have signed it "Not fixed by Andrew Camarata" and auctioned it. :)
Surprised me also. Especially when he said he was gonna cut an access hole to get to those hoses. But that was some VERY thick material he would have had to cut through and probably set the hoses on fire anyway. Plus have to make a special haul trip to and from his yard.
same here
Andrew calling the warranty department after breaking his new roller on day one- "No, I didn't use this roller for unintended purposes!"... 😂
Andrew "It just broke for no reason."
Andrew Camarata: “It just broke for no reason.”
I've been watching Andrew for a few years now, and you have to admire the kid's resourcefulness and work ethic. He is also a master on the dozer, which many people don't realize, is one of the most difficult machines to master. He makes grading look easy and it isn't, not by a long shot. This young man is the whole package. He's pleasure to watch and admire.
I choose to agree with everything except the dozer part. A skidsteer and a dozer is the best place to START learning heavy equipment.
"Didn't feel like fixing it so I sold it". Story of my life
Just like the skid steer I sent down the road last week lol.
I was hoping you’d cut a hole into the big roller with your torch but the skidsteer roller makes more sense to have. Thanks again for the content
Lol
Yea me too. He should have done it for the content.
@@argonthesad Exactly!
You can't cut cast iron with a gas axe (oxy acetylene). I am not sure about plasma, but I think it would have worked.
Omg read my mind! That was tease Camarata!
Next Mustie1 video: I picked up this old mower sitting beside the road, let's see if we can make it run again...
That's the best reply I have ever seen. LOL He would probably have added "This is what happens when you leave them out in the weather, and use ethanol"
I love Mustie's attitude on repairing broken engines and equipment.
He'd probably salvage the connecting rod bolts and rebuild the engine around them.
Now that's hilarious 😂😂
The epic combo !
I smile every time we get to hear the 955 roar. Such a great machine!
Convenient to have paving stone falling out of your mountain. I love the Fall colors up in your neck of the country this time of year.
With 718K subscribers I’ve never heard Andrew ask for likes, subscribers, or ringing bells for notifications just interesting content where something useful gets done. Now that’s a recipe for success.
I just skip most of those ring the bell kinda channels..
@@joshuakalaniparks9084 I skip it too - still freaking annoying anyway. If the content is of any interest the subscription will come by itself, not because the tuber pleads for it.
Over a mil now. Even reddit has someone posting 😉
I was laughing out loud when you said you would be cutting a larger access hole in that roller. I was really looking forward to seeing your no-nonsense approach to fixing things applied to that old roller. You repairing things is probably 70% of my enjoyment of your channel. The skid steer roller attachment is a graceful way to fill the need. I don't think vibratory rollers are used to break rock, just compact the ground, right?
You are correct, they are not meant to break or crush, Just compact.
The roller is a graceful way to compact the needed fill.
I was thinking plasma cutter
Watching Andrews Videos make my day,I'm a 73 year old Widow go figure"
I have so much respect for your camera angles and the work you put into these videos. Incredible.
Agree. His skill at setting up shots and editing is easy to overlook because it’s so professional. There was a short segment with the bulldozer putting rock on drive where it appeared he used 2-3 camera setups plus possibly a drone, in only a minute.
Famous last words: “ima bout to cut a bigger hole in this thing.” That’s why I love this channel.
I was really looking forward to that!
I laughed so much when Andrew said that - so him!
I this this would make a good curb your enthusiasm moment
I was thinking before he said it, cut most of the top off and weld it back on later
@@ThePinkPanth3r That would work too! I still can't believe he gave up on it!
That mower now has a Briggs&Flatten engine on it...
It's a flat head now...whawhawhaaaaah
That lawnmower now has a Briggs&Flatten engine on it....
Andrew: “yeah i am not fixing that” Me: “wait wh-“ First time hearing that from him.
This one was supposed to come out April 1. Forget you saw this.
@@phooesnax Haha, nice reply 👍🏻
Hahaha
I blew out laughing when he said that LOL
There's a special place in hell for engineers that design machines that are difficult to fix. Someone's about to spend eternity replacing hydraulic lines on that roller.
*Andrew coming up the hill* Cody: Oh no what did he buy this time
So satisfying to see that old track-loader getting full scoops .It has Power.
Those old Cats are productive, well-built machines.
Watching Andrew turn a lawnmower into gravel was not how I intended this day to start, but I'm ok with it.
Next episode. Fixing a lawnmower.
33:29 Drive to New Hampshire, put a FREE sign on it and see if Mustie1 takes the bait.
Mustie could’ve fix that lawnmower just seems a waste but when you have all the money
@@phillipjones3342 You don't know that. Andrew has fixed plenty of things from weedeaters to heavy equipment. And I'm sure whoever Mustie is he doesn't need you to be his fanboy.
@@wildtimbrown You really should check out Mustie1 His channel is awesome. Right up there with Andrew and several others like Bus Grease Monkey, Iron Trap Garage and Watch Wes Work. All are fascinating to watch. Especially now with Covid19 lockdown for us high risk types.
@@ronaldheit196 Watch Wes Work is some fun stuff. Mustie is Everybody's Favorite Uncle, there's also Matt on Diesel Creek... there's a lot of Really Good Stuff in this niche
Awesome videos Andrew! I've been watching for about a year now and you've become an inspiration to get out there and get stuff done. It's great to see someone doing all the things that you do, thank you for sharing it all with us!
Watching the close up of that rock getting torn apart by the ol front loader scratched an itch I didn’t know I had! Love your videos Andrew!
"I'm about to cut a bigger hole in this thing." We call that a Hyster hysterectomy.
Over the years I was always impressed how you can take any machine you owned and were able to make a smooth service. This roller is just going to slow you down! Your to professional, it’s more of a homeowners tool
I love the way you turn into a kid when you get a new toy, I need a friend like Andrew! Never a dull moment I bet. Stay safe Andrew and always be awesome 😎
Andrew: *turns on new acquisition* Neighbors: *heads snap in the direction of Andrew’s property* “What fresh hell is this?”
One reason why he doesn’t have any neighbors!
Man i was looking forward to see that thing get fixed!
It's an itch that can't be scratched
SWITCHEROO KEEP UP
It's so good to see the 955 still working hard and earning her keep even though she's 60-something years old!

Watch to the very end and the castle is fully roofed and painted.
3:32 better
@pete smyth Yeah, that's the issue these days. Clickbait is just about everywhere these days. It's refreshing to see a non clickbait title on someone's channel.
@@wildtimbrown Yes, Noticed that - what I was referring to was that he started this video MANY months ago, and recently updated it...
Nobody: Craigslist: 1 owner lawnmower, ran last time I used it, recently smoothed out all kinks in it
“Just needs a new blade and a buff. Look at that! It’s running good as new!”
Thanks Andrew for the gratuitous wrecking session at the end of the video , great video with an excellent ending . It was lovely to see Levi .
This side of New York looks amazing. Whenever I think of the state I think of all the buildings and people, but this is beautiful. I love the landscape of your area and thanks for the great video!
Liked before watching, like always.
Yep.
I do every time too👍🏻
Same. Can't help myself. 👊
Me too
The least one can do. :-)
My favorite kind of hoarding. Everything is useful.
Andrew, you should do a video of all the attachments you have and maybe a rating scale of each.
Love your work lol, RIP lawn mower and TV. brings joy to me to see your lovely dogs hang with you where ever you go, they have an awesome environment to excercise, explore , swim and just be your best mates! much love from Australia
When AC gets new equipment, he tests it thoroughly. In this vid, he proves it can pack stone, break bigger rocks, give you a glass-flat road and paddywhack a lawn mower, big screen and a pumpkin until they become part of the driveway at the molecular level. In other words, just another day in the life. Good one! 😎👍👏
I saw the mower come out and I was like "ohh he's going to mow around where he just patched the driveway" nope proceeds to smash the shit out of it with his new attachment...lol You haven't changed a bit Andrew
Watched this hole video because of your comment
Next he'll say "I can build a better..stronger mower" lol
Nor would we want him to!!!
I hope Andrew never changes, I think he is the best.
@@billyrogers9624 lol Bill, Andrew is great, been watching his channel when he had less than 25k subs, he never changes!
I know just what the Container Castle needs. Two things: 1) zip-line from the upper level above the hot tub to the ponds below and 2) a swing fixed to the north side of the CC roof with the step off located next the tower at the hot tub level. Oh, ya!
Awesome video and nice new piece of equipment. Good to see Levi out and about.
First thing I thought of when I saw that old timey roller was Fred Dibney and his steem powered collection. What a monster and all the repair videos you would have to make.
Everyone should watch the Fred Dinney series. So insightful!
*Dibnah
I like how they zip tied the instructions to the hydraulic lines hoping that Andrew would open and read them.
I'd say he is really smart. Bought a machine, assessed it's potential, found the plusses and minuses. Don't know if Andrew lost money or made money or broke even on the deal. But it doesn't matter. He figured out it wasn't worth his time and cut it loose. Bought what works for him. Good on you Andrew.
All of Andrew's videos that start with pulling a pallet out of the back of a semi are great
When you really want a flatscreen tv, I'm not sure it's the way to go... 🤷🏻♂️
Sure it is. Now he will connect it to his laptop and do some puzzlework. LOL
Man, I loved seeing that caterpillar track loader working... It's a beautiful piece of equipment,
I always come for a peek but end up staying for the show. Love it!
That's one way to get the bugs out of your lawn mower ! Impressed with the attachment roller . You have a gorgeous place to live !
Sales Executive:" Let's send Andrew one of our skid steer implements to promote for us ... Chief engineer replies: " What? Have you SEEN any of his videos?"
Fred in Engineering: you know Bob we need to make this roller attachment robust..... Bob comes back after seeing AC’s content....Fred? Will you update the specifications to add sheet metal straightening up to 14 gauge and shale rock crushing up to 3” thick? We should be able to sell a lot more at higher prices!!
I like how you turned it I to a Halloween Special there at the end.
I think you need to slow down
one of my favorite recurring themes on this channel is how Andrew gets a new piece of equipment and just tests it out on his driveway like digging a big hole or ditch in it and filling it back up
Nice road fix, Andrew. Ready for winter with two fewer things to fix.
Nice video, nice attachment, nice doggies!! Good to see ol' Levi out and about, he's still looking as chipper as can be !
I think the main reason people watch the channel is because they like to see you fix and repair things so when you said you just sold it that was a shock
The idea of people seeing him fix stuff I think is part of it. But, no clickbait, no asking for likes, no asking to hit the subscribe button or the bell icon, no asking for to share it or comment, no throwing sponsorships in people's faces or anything else, I think that's also why people watch.
Thank you for sharing this with us Andrew. Now that you've straightened out that Lawn Mower, you want to pop it over to Mustie1 to see if it will run. Nice to see the new roller's on TV.
Great call on that roller repair. Sometimes you just don’t want the hassle, especially as you know well enough the pain you’ll be putting yourself through.
Nice attachment. I agree with your thoughts regarding ease of transportation and already having the skid steer. It'll be a very versatile tool for you and I'm sure like you said, it'll work wonders on freshly laid material, for example on all of those driveways you had put in previously.
Can always see how a man truly is behind closed doors by the way his dogs love him. Andrew sure is a great man
Cody is stressing me out wondering so close :D
Great! Looks like lawnmower wall art! Happy 2022 Andrew! Thanks for the laughs!
Just when you think it couldn't get more exciting then the end! I love this guy!
Idk. I'm not a construction person but from the outside looking in, these rollers always seem to not compact the soil much at all. And the attachment is even lighter so it has less force pushing down on the soil. You massaged that road for so long and it barely changed much at all. That's just what it looks like, though. If you say it's gonna be useful then it probably will be. You know what you need.
His road already has lots of gravel embedded in it, and the mountain he's on is basically a big rock. I was surprised how well the roller worked, given its size. Having a vibrator in it is a big win.
I have this roller in the 84” model, I use it on a loader and a skidsteer you are right it is not as good as a dedicated roller , it’s the el Camino syndrome! Not a good car or truck , with this being said it’s does the job well , I bought mine used ,if buying new it would be hard to justify, also a real roller is very expensive new or used
God broke the mold with Andrew. One of a kind character.
hello Andrew good to see you and love the new roller you bought and enjoyed watching you testing it on your driveway with all the broken pieces of rock and seeing how the roller smooths out your driveway and was very interesting seeing crush the that old lawn mower and that old tc wow what a job to see everytime i see your powerful machines they always do the job that you need them to do for you or your customers like i've always said i always enjoy your videos so thankyou Andrew and until next video i say buy for now from Randy from ontario.canada take care and please stay safe out there in everything you do and go p.s my apologize on being late on watching and commenting on this video.
Congratulations on both purchases, greetings from Naples!!
I agree that hydraulic fix looked like a nightmare, through that small opening and with the loading problem besides. New one clips on and off as needed.
I saw the rain water coming off of it when you tried loading it and thought "oh heck, there goes the hydraulics!!"
Love seeing the mighty Cat working hard and that machine still has plenty of life in it! I do have a feeling though that we are going to be seeing a lot more of that vibro-roller in the future! Anything that refuses to be repaired is going to be flattened!
love the show, I admire what you've with your business, and a boy and his dog story is always good. :)
Always nice to have heavy equipment scattered around the property for chores.
people in the uk will know what i mean when i say, 😉 what the frick are we paying the licence fee for when you can get content like this for free ? 🤔🇬🇧
Sort of the same with tv, why are we doing pay TV subscriptions when we can all just get over the air tv antennas and watch tv for free. Granted, over the air HAS supposedly existed since probably before world war 2 depending on the source you depend on and country you come from, but, still, pay subscription tv services is sort of a dated idea these days in my opinion.
@@morganrussman at least in some countries that's a choice 😆
@@rivahkillah oh? What do you mean by that? That one can watch tv for free with a antenna? Pff, that's the story over here in America, but most people are too stupid to realize or stubborn that they can forgo subscription tv services and get a tv antenna, the latter partly being true (partly with the whole stubbornness) because there are channels on subscription tv service that would otherwise not be on over the air. or the fact that they don't know about internet streaming, or the fact that they didn't end up with unlimited data internet access.
You definitely made the right choice selling that roller and buying the one for the skidsteer. I hate having to load a roller on a trailer especially when it is wet outside. Nice video Andrew.
You're the only one o. KZhead that really showed how the vibratory attachment works. Everyone else shows a small gest of it. You show how it really really works. Thank you Andrew!
You’re welcome. I just put out three videos on a bigger roller, those are some pretty cool videos. this skid steer attachment isn’t really powerful enough for rolling down rock. The big roller is much stronger
@@AndrewCamarata okay Andrew I'll be sure to check them out as well!
Andrew is always smart about picking his battles.
When Andrew dumps the skid steer bucket off the atv, Cody was looking at him like "Man, you're crazy"
Glad to see the 955 is making an appearance I was beginning to wonder if you still had it. That's my favorite machine on the channel!
im so happy I found your channel love the dogs and the great content.
Q: How close to "limitless power" is that CAT 955? A: It makes Andrew wear hearing defence.
Mean Green is the unstoppable force
Andrew camarata, I recommend the 3M earmuffs there the best earmuffs ever in my opinion, they have bluetooth so you can listen to your music while running you machines

That's a RED CHECK Mark against the lawnmower for the roller agility test ! 😂😂😂 Andrew you have alot of fun ! !
I think the attachment roller is a winner, Andrew. 😃👌👍👍👍
When you’re done with my lawn mower, just slip it under the door, 😂
I can't seem to get the gas cap loose. Oh, there it goes!
21:30 *mountain*: you can't hurt me *Andrew*: Hold my beer...
I love the old track loader, that thing is a hoss! 👍🏻👍🏻
Love seeing the Green tracked loader. Reminds me of a Deceptacon.
your dog is going to have his hearing destroyed if he keeps following you with this attachment
34:10 Craigslist ad: "just been sitting around my garage. has a new starter. cuts very well. needs a little work. $100."
it's good that Cody the manager is inspection every other pass with the skidsteer to make sure you're making steady progress.
That's making a flat screen flatter. Newest technology. I love your videos.
The only missing things are now sawmill, stone crusher and airship.
I vote for airship next. 😁
You forgot the Medieval Trebuchet!!

@@gerryb8274 As long as Levi and Cody accept it, I'm OK
That was a nice trailer The guy who bought the roller from you.. I need a tilt 25 ton ! 💪🏼 2K was a good deal for that broke roller. Paladin makes good attachments
I sure love the sound of your track loader.
Awesome video! The lawn mower was a ''sculpture'' while it still had all of it's parts attached. A famous sculptor you might appreciate - John Chamberlain.
that cat dozer always impress me , he seem so bestial and powerfull !
I believe the actual name is traxcavator, a bulldozer-excavator mix. Monster of a machine!
I’m really surprised you don’t have a stone crushing facility considering that stone is one of the most naturally occurring resources your property has and you most need
I think with his geology degree from U Chicago ..dealing with rock and it's behavior would just come naturally. The way he u set stands how to scoop and crush it.
@@kittybok when I wrote this post I knew nothing about his personal education and still don’t but time has done one thing he’s brought a crusher and a dump truck
of ALL your videos, don't think I EVER heard you say you couldn't fix something... the beginning of this got me a bit confused cause it was pre-steel roofing, and then you get this awesome attachment and steel roof done on the castle! waiting for finishing touches and video on the 3rd or forth floor??...this attachment will be great on jobs for 2021 season:-) thank you for sharing...love seeing what I call the big green mean machine! My husband Paul says maybe a Sheepsfoot Roller attachment would be better for your roads than a smooth roller...
I felt so sad for that little mower. Another awesome video from AC as always.
Like a kid with his new toy on Christmas morning.
Cheers for the upload Andrew and Cody :-)
Getting in the truck that afternoon, he finds a note - "Dear Andrew, I have felt nso bad since i bent the crankshaft on your favorite mower! I was so thrilled to find one just like it in a Garage Sale!- same modeland all! Hope this one serves you as well as the old one! I took the old one to the recycling center for you!"
What a score. Alls you need now is a paver and an asphalt plant. Awe. You sold it. ! Lol. Man that shale is great. After it’s packed it’s like mini interlock.
