I work as a paramedic and we have whole nights where we watch Andrew's videos in between calls and debate what the best way to rescue him when stuff goes .wrong, but it never does! He must have the best sense when what he is doing will go right! He does what we all dreamed as doing but never do! Thanks and keep life full of fun Andrew !
That's pretty funny. I've seen Andrew do some sketchy stuff but he never seems to get hurt.
That's too funny 🤣. Andrew said that he has a sixth sense that tells him when things are about to go wrong and that's what keeps him from getting hurt.
Did you see the one where that Pettibone crane decided to plummit down the hill? *"I didn't need to be on there anymore"*
I love how he’s done stuff that makes people nervous in hundreds of videos, but when he showed up in a cast in a video it ended up being because he just stepped in a hole runnin down a hill lol. Tbh I do sketchy stuff all the time just like Andrew, and I don’t love doing it, just like I’m sure he doesn’t, but when you work mostly by yourself, or at the most with maybe one or two people who are just somewhat nearby, you get very used to doin stuff that would be considered dangerous to most people. Waiting around for help or for a 100% safe method to do the job means the job isn’t getting done yet. There’s an art to knowing when to risk something though, and an art to knowing how to keep from getting hurt even if things go south, and Andrew is definitely an artist at both lol.
lol hundreds of thousands of people , probably millions, do as or more dangerous work every single day . They just don't record it and put it on youtube ... y'all are acting like he's breaking new ground here or something, in fact a lot of the stuff he does is only dangerous because of his lack of experience and knowledge of what he's doing
I'm worried about spending more time watching Andrew work than me actually working. 😂
Me too 😂
Your doing it wrong
Drew used to put up a video everyday 💥💥
Yeah same
I'm just glad I do similar stuff so I can entertain myself when Andrew's away
That crew swapping tires was pretty darn impressive far as I'm concerned. Don't care how much equipment ya have if you don't have the experience.
..eh, yeah, but I cringed how that one guy was getting his fingers in places to potentially get them pinched off😬..on a lighter note, anybody else notice that the front tires looked much bigger than the rear tires before the new ones...and after getting the new rear ones, the front tires are now the ones that look much smaller?...
@@dyer2cycle or the tire guy that thought the tire was rolling away when andrew was playing inside it
@@oogie149 I had not noticed that tire thinking the tire was rolling away when Andrew was playing inside of it. Is Oogie your nickname? What's your actual name? I had a friend with that nickname.... his real name was Howard.

Props to that tire changing crew. There looks to be a lot of ways one could get injured doing that job.
In 1979 I had the pleasure of removing the plastic from the seat of a brand new 988B and operating that machine for the following 3 months. I smiled ear to ear the entire time.
Having driven the 988 I can say it is a blast and I smiled every morning looking at it while it was warming up. Impressive machine!
thank god, you have ears. otherwise you would have smiled in a circle =)

Can't get enough of Andrew Camarata fixing equipment and handling property management projects. Interesting and always pick up a new trick or two.
Yeah, like a multi-tool that clips to a belt loop. I had one ordered within 15 minutes of seeing Andrew showing his. He's worth a fortune to those companies.
That's amazing how Andrew has transformed the land over the years almost single-handed.
"If land near you ever comes up for sale, buy it" We have been following that rule big-time. Over the years, we have bought up the five parcels around us, and they have doubled in value at a minimum, but one of them is seven times what we paid for it now. We bought the land just so we didn't have neighbors, but have quite the retirement nest egg now! 😊
Yeah, I bought it just so I would not have neighbors, some developer was trying to buy it, they probably would’ve tried to stick three houses there.
I've been trying for years. People don't like to get rid of even trash here and I've got plenty of videos on that. Also alot of people don't want others to get more land than them or the next guy. An acre went from 3k to 150k in the past few years lol
@@AndrewCamarata Its been 3 months now, when are you giving us the video to where you moved the 988 to and the work you did with it. Was it to your mountain?

Keep up the good work. :)
God those tyre guys have a real risky job day in day out! Fair play to them.
Yeah, I did that for work for a bit. It's neither fun nor particularly safe and I don't miss it at all.
Yeah, but they're smart about it. Note how every time they enter the risk zone, they use the crane's boom to protect them. Pros. That said... those tires are junk, special import from copy/paste land.
@@aserta Couple years and someone will be replacing them again, maybe sooner.
Особенно опасно для пальцев на руке
I forgot how big of a monster that 988 is until you brought out the skid steer at 37:34. Really puts it into perspective how much material that machine can move.
You are surely right, that looked like a child's toy when he first started using it all of a sudden.
And that's considering that the TL10 is one of the bigger skid steers out there, there are machines half the size of that and less than a quarter of the weight
I struggle to put tires on my lawn mower, this is insane! Love all of Andrews content. This might be the first time he has had to hire anyone to do anything, these guys are talented.
Those guys were definitely working hard and I don't envy them!
@@mbrick It looks like dangerous work.
Why taking the cab off?
@@tomppik9462 Maybe it is not longer a Taxi.
i can't believe they sent 2 guy's to do simple 988 tires, didn't clean the wheel, makes it harder on the next guy! not impressed!
Those tire changing guys were impressive, they made it look easy!
I had a job for a couple years warehousing and delivering tires like that, always so happy I wasn't the guy installing them. What a machine!
😩 yes, I warehoused tires too for Goodyear. What a tough job!
Now that I dwell on it, I think I have PTSD from moving all that around, hahaha. One little two stage Toyota forklift in the warehouse and no cranes on the trucks.
I was the guy that repaired those tires, never put one on,
Load an 18 wheeler in like 2 buckets
@@jamesscott1932 I did to from small trailer tires to 4500 lb earth movers . the worst job was branding with hot iron in summer time ATL tires for them.
My old man had the 988 in his quarry. Had Caterpillar fit the largest bucket they could fit. Was a beast of a machine. Well done Andrew.
The rock quarry we haul out of got one about 30 years ago I can remember the first load he put on me one scoop and he was blowing the horn I was like what are you doing I figured it out when I got to the scales and he had dropped 16 tons on me.
@@bobbyalley519216 ton and what ya get 😮😊
I like it when Andrew explains what he's doing and why for those of us that don't know.
Andrew you have any man’s dream at your feet, ground to move and improve and the machinery to do it. I can remember when I first started farming I had an old TE20 grey fergie and that was it but slowly built my gear up, I used to get so annoyed as established farmers would have farm implements as garden decor and I could have refurbished it and put it to practical advantage. Love your vids man
Andrew you deserve all the success that you’ve acquired. Your videos are the best. Very interesting thank you
I thought it quite funny when Andrew left the 988 sitting there and suddenly there was a "micro-loader" moving stone. It looked so small next to the 988!! Great video!
Yeah watching the rear wheels come up with a load of rock is pretty impressive.. then the TL moving lil pieces is kinda comical and puts it into perspective 😅
I was thinking just about everything looks small next to the 988.
@@CerebralAilment Ya he's literally trying to move the mountain ;)
Very happy for you Andrew. You've come a long way through perseverance and determination! There is nothing I can do pair of shoes and those new tires will go a long way
It never ceases to amaze how powerful earth moving equipment can be .. that bucket has gotta be a 7 yard bucket , and a yard of stone weighs between 2500-3000 lbs .. that means that loader is lifting up to like 20,000 pounds.. that’s like lifting 5 cars at once
When they debuted the 675, (the original loader in the mega-loader class), Michigan actually promoted them as a way to eliminate haul trucks entirely. Bucket capacities up to 36 cubic yards were offered (likely for coal) for a capacity of 36 tons or so per bucket (!). The 988, I believe, was offered with a maximum closer to 16 yards, although that would have been a newer generation than Mr. Camarata has here. There have been a wide variety of loaders sold as 988s with capacities from 9 yards on up. Either way, these are massive machines capable of moving amounts of stone that are hard to wrap your head around.
Wow what an interesting process changing those tires. Those guys deserve to be paid well for that kind of work.
With my trashed disks, all i can do is sit back and enjoy Andrew do things i wish i could do. Safeguard your back Andrew and take ticks seriously.
Well done Andrew ! Back to your usual high standard. Appreciate the work you put into mixing GoPro and Drone shots with music and change of angles. A lot of time involved putting all of that together but that's what makes your vids stand out.
great job as always. looking forward to seeing how your new mountain property is doing as well. always enjoy watching your videos.
AC, your videos carried me through some really dark places in my life. Now that my life is brighter, I llook at your work with the same hope.
You know it's big, when professionals are coming to change the tires. 😎
Been so long since I 've seen a new Andrew Camarata video that when one shows up, I am watching it🙂Thank you Andrewe for the great video, great to see him back at work, with some property management projects and fixing his equipment. So great to see... Have really missed him. The gentlemen that installed the new tired after taking the old ones off, My hats off to both of them, they did and awesome job! WOW!! what an improvement you made with that upper driveway, where the hot tube is.. looks 100% better now..seems like Cody and Blue liked it..

Thanks Andrew. As always, it's relaxing and a pleasure to watch YOU work. You've got the right attitude. There isn't too much that gets to you. When you do what you love, you'll never work a day in your life. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Induction coils are amazing. For maximum effect, try flash cooling the component before loosening. The heating expands the bolt, crushing the debris in the threads, the debris acts as an insulating layer so not all of the heat is passed to the surrounding metal. Flash cooling will then shrink the bolt faster than the surrounding material, allowing penetrants to seep in. It's another step if loosening when hot fails. Good work man...
Been trying to tip him for over a year to get one, good to see that he finally did
@@VonFoughmanI've had one for half a decade get with the timez!
I've often thought about this whenever watching somebody used induction coils and not flash cool the bolt. Thanks for bringing it up

It's in his previous videos
@@meric242empire He's never had this big loader up on the mountain. He only used it on the blasting job then parked it up. He needs to take the cab off to move it anywhere anyway, hence removing the ROPS in this vid as he's got a job for it. (Maybe on the mountain? Who knows?)
@@nickmaclachlan5178at least it’s easier to move this than it would be to move a mining loader
So much more room for activities! Great video Andrew. Love seeing the big boys out workin’
I love these videos. I can't imagine how much work it takes just to keep all the equipment in running condition. It is clear to me that all your hard work has really paid off.
When I first started watching KZhead and looking for snowplows for trucks, Andrew's plowing snow was the first one I watched, and I have been hooked ever since.
To go back in history a little will help understand why there are two different control patterns. Back in the day there were two lever controls that had levers close to 2' long and were either connected directly to the control valve or were connected via a cable. Because the lever throws were so long is was nearly impossible to work both levers while in the pile, so the boom lever was often placed into a detented "up" position while the operator worked the bucket with the tilt function. This detent was also used when coming up to a truck or hopper to raise the boom while the operator used the tilt lever to dump the bucket at the same time. The single lever control was designed as an improved control pattern over the two lever pattern as it is described above. This allowed the operator to have full control over all functions while loading the bucket and dumping into a truck. Today the difference between the two patterns is not as apparent because the advent of pilot and EH controls. You will typically find the joystick or single lever controls on smaller, < 4 cu yd, loaders. The thought is that these smaller loaders are usually used in a variety of different applications that don't have the repetitive motions that a larger loader would have by doing nothing but v-pattern loading. It is also thought that this loader control is easier for new or inexperienced operators to pick up on as well. The two lever controls of today are quite different from those days of 2' levers. Almost without exception all manufactures use either pilot controllers or EH controls that provide for short levers and very little movement effort. For the most part, larger loaders (> 4 cu yd) come standard with type of controls. Not that you can't get a joystick with these larger machines, but because of the high percentage of the time that these machines perform repetitive v-pattern loading it is thought that the short, two lever controls give the operator much better metering control over the bucket while coming up to and dumping in a truck or hopper.
I always learn something in andrews comment section.
Wow! You should write tech manuals!
(TexasPeteHotSauce) I'm sure you had your hand in designing or redesigning those controls. Thanks for the important instructions or what ever its called in telling how thing work !!!!
That opening shot was a shock. I remember when I first started watching Andrew, that lot was empty and the castle was a box. You've come a long way son. 😉 👍 Good to see you brought in the Big Guns. What! Andy's not changing the tires? Good move. 😁
Ya I was shocked but totally happy he did not try that himself. Some time the right ppl for the job are reqd, cost be darned.
Nothing more enjoyable than watching a "big kid" and his real Tonka toys !!!!!
I’m glad you keep putting long videos out and I can’t understand why other channels insist on putting 12/18 minute clips out 👍🏻🏴

@@bottomlands it's just a saying buddy don't take to literally
@@bottomlands with that attitude I doubt you have any friends or buddies.
Man, that looks like a fairly dangerous job for the tire techs. Hats off to them.
yea especially when they were putting the "catch ring" or whatever it's called back on the rim with the new tire being held by the lift, if the tire slips while your fingers are in there they are gone 😅
Are always very dangerous. Especially the ones that were on the 3/4 and 1 tonnes back in the 60s. We called those Widowmaker. This was before the tire cage. for safety. And in the mid-to-late 90s. Those tires and service charge was 10 grand each.

Most excellent video. Very interesting with the huge tire renewal, plus the ACTION sequence with the trees knocking over your video camera . LoL . I am sometimes able to predict your next move towards completing each job. Your videos have logic and just the right amount of narrative compared to others online.
I think like alot of other viewers would enjoy hearing you narrate some more, like when you spoke about buying property or future projects around the castle. As always enjoy the videos and keep em coming.
Always look forward to your videos, very informative 💯👏🏿
You consistently get the best shots of these big machines working, the amount of effort that goes into these videos is unreal! That is gonna be on hell of a tire swing, I hope they have some sturdy ass trees around. 😂

The torque on that Makita on the earlier bolt was amazing. The whole body was twisting....great tool.
It wasn't really, has to do with the filmrate of the camera. Like with helicopter blades. 👍
@@Guust_FlaterLook later. The battery was breaking off. It was twisting.
Makita made the handle flexible on the bottom on purpose. It damps the vibration for the battery.

So how come the rears were mullered and not the fronts?
@@sjv6598 that's a good question, and im not sure. Could be from spinning while trying to get a full bucket load. That's probably the only thing i could think of... none of the contracts were doing quite what Andrew does, they were mostly mills and stuff like that, not quarries
the 988 is monster great content always nice glad you getting more land
Andrew is always on point with his camera angles
He has skills with the camera angles and the drone. He make It look like is a whole movie team filming him
Love the fact that your not scared by older machines in fact they tend to be very reliable as they have very little electronic components to go wrong and they're designed to be repaired as if you're a machinest you can make most components
Great job - you really made a ton of space out of that scraggly lot! And those tires - man, would've taken a whole rubber plantation just to make 2 of them; I shudder to think how much the new ones must've cost you..

Am I the only selfish person in here that wishes Andrew could release a video every day for us?
🎉😂❤eu também 🎉😂❤... 🆒.. 🔝...
new video, nice. Thought Andrew ruined the big 40v Makita impact right in the first 5 minutes lol. The wibble wobble bottom with the battery is normal. Have the same impact for my cars, and works very well with driveshaft bolts and stuff. But a cat loader is a diffrent world of course. But you need the proper impact sockets. They make a huge diffrence. The small induction heaters are nice too. There are a lot of induction spools in all diffrent sizes on ebay. All chinesium, but its only a thick copper wire with a fabric mantle with a few bends in it. And of course you can bend the spools yourself, make the loop bigger or smaller so it fits the screw or nut.
Impact socket do not make a difference. Testing has shown that. Socket wear over time regarldess if you use impact or not. Google it and you might learn something.
@@kameljoe21 Well I've never seen an impact socket split like that chrome vanadium one in this video, and I've been on the tools for 35 years. What you get is a thicker wall on the impact sockets, so that counts for the extra strength. Yes, all tools wear out over time, but the first thing I was taught was using the right tool for the right job.
@@nickmaclachlan5178 I have seen split, cracked, wore out, broke, chipped and all kinds of sockets of a number of sizes from 1 in down to 3/8 drive in ever size you would think. Chrome sockets are slighty more brittle which means they are overall stronger which is why they will split or shatter. Impact are softer and you can see this by the wear on the inside and drive en of the socket. I have also seen impact sockets shatter. The only thing chrome socket might do it wear you drive anvil down because its softer than the socket its self. When you pay for snap on tools they do not care and will replace the tool because its broken. I stood in a friends shop in which he had a worn out socket that was quite loose and worn to which he wanted replaced and the snap on guy clearly stated that because the tool was not broken he could not replace it. He went over to an hydraulic press and proceeded to crush said socket and then returned it back to the truck while the snap on guy walked back in to the shop and handed him the socket. Then in a fit of annyonance he went over to his tool box and pulled out half a dozen screw drivers and clamped them in to a vice and twisted all of the handles off while the snap on guy stood watching. He then handed them the screwdrivers for replacement and said I have all day so next time replace the tool and you can break it on your time. This was a decade or so ago. The same guy another time bought one of those snap on cordless impacts and a battery faulted and he was so pissed as it meant no more lugging around hoses and everything else. When the snap on guy showed up he fought over the warranty. Keep in mind every tool that you can get from snap on was in this shop. Even crap he used once and never used again and sometimes those cost 100s of dollars. He was irate as he had not had that impact that long and while I do not recall what ever it is. I do know that when it come to anything battery and electric warrenties are clearly different. He was so irate at this guy that I helped break entire sets of sockets, hammers and screwdrivers even bent a whole set of those pry bars. Later that day he called someone up who had a cnc machine plasma cutters and had them make him a metal sign and then welded and painted that press red. It said on top Snap on destruction zone. With some real thick metal. About a year later or so when smart phone became even more popular he had printed out photos of the snap on guy's face of disappointment. In the end he had to pay out of pocket to buy a new battery for the inpact. This is what made him so made. There are some other things he has done. For example snap on came in the shop and he was using a screwdriver as a pry bar and the snap on guy proceeded to sell him a couple of set which I do not recall. Being petty as he was the next week he exchanged all his bent screw drivers for new ones. And he said didn't you just buy a new set of pry bars and he said sure did and pointed up on the wall where a nice pretty box with a glass door on it says Emergency Pry Bars or break if need emergency pry bars, can not recall 100% off the top of my head. I mean a pretty oak box with brass hinges. Might even have said Snapon on it. It was painted on the glass in red paint and some gold edges. Like I said he was petty and did thing out of spite. On the wall in another place is a 10mm sockets that if one is moved the light blinks until it replaced the speaker some how got a screwdriver shoved in to the speaker and no longer works. He made that after an old timer who I was with one day said lets steal his 10mm socket. While I did not take it he sure did. Which resulted in him buying a replacement and having that thing made. Only to have that spot in his box remain empty till his death 6 or so years later to which he got it from a lawyer who has had it in possession not long after he took it. At the time I though he was joking and when I seen him a week or so later I seen that contraption and it never dawned on me that the old timer took it. Any ways the socket and a photo of him is up in the shop in one of those shadow boxes that says something like if you ever wondered where that 10mm when this guy might have taken it contact his lawyer or something like that.
@@kameljoe21 I see it on my cars, every time I change from winter- to summer tires. Aluminium rims, with steel wheel bolts, + 5 months of salt. With the makita mid torque and a chrome vanadium socket, no chance. With a chrome moly impact socket, 2 seconds and the bolt loosens. Thats proof enough for me.
Wow, you did a great job clearing all the rubble from that corner Andrew.👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
