Getting a new Hyundai 235 excavator and using it to install a driveway into the side of a hill.
Getting a new Hyundai 235 excavator and using it to install a driveway into the side of a hill.
Boys never actually grow up. Their toys just get bigger and more expensive. Awesome video Andrew !
Next on the shopping list, his own semi with a flatbed.
Thank you great video.
the difference between man and boy is the price of the toy
My next toy is going to be a fishing boat ranger 21 foot deep v about three years old
my tank and bomb toy aren't
It's weird seeing Andrew buying new equipment or vehicles that aren't 20 plus years old.
YEAH, BUT THATS WHAT GOT HIM HERE, FOLLOWED HIM FOR YEARS, ANDREW IS A BOX OF CHOCOLATES FOR SURE
@@davidwatsonii9469 WHY ARE YOU YELLING
David’s not yelling, he’s stating an important fact!
not Brand new, but only 5 years old 😀
@@spukduk5632 LOUD NOISES. 📢
So glad to see newer machinery! Andrew, you've worked very hard and you and your company deserve it! Be well, be safe!
It was hard to tell the difference at first, but that last drone shot really gives you a clear view of how much softer the slope is vs the old drive. Nice work as always, Andrew. Great new machine too!
দং
So much easier to just buy excavators and have them shipped to the job instead of moving them LOL! Great vid as always!
It made me laugh . It looked like the guy was just dropping off a pizza or something since we didn’t hear any conversation between them it all looked so nonchalant and just cool.
Lol, it kinda is.
@@AndrewCamarata .....hey, you put a new steel bumper/bull bar on your pickup. Did you do a video on installing it??
Great video be nice to see more of these not just working on mountain
@@racerx009 I think he's working on a video. He still wanted to "bash into some stuff to test it" first.
Isn’t it funny how hard it is sometimes to explain what you are doing to someone else . It’s all so logical to you but it was nice to see him being in awe and getting the picture as you progressed . The first time I saw your channel was years ago and you were putting in a long drive to the site where they were going to build a house . I was so impressed with how you were such a one man crew to the point you had to keep jumping out of one machine to another . Laying down the black plastic sheeting then having to go and get your gravel then lay it . You hadn’t built your house but you had a plan and you knew how to achieve it so I just watched you job after job and this video feels like I’m reminiscing but with a bigger mean machine. X
Yeah….what she said!!
The power of trigonometry. Its a super useful skill to be able to use, unfortunately most people forget it after they leave HS.
Ha - that was my very first Camarata video. I remember thinking "why am I watching this?". But then the music kicked in and I was glued until the end. From then on I didn't miss a new installment!
Thank you.
Andrew, if I may say so, I like the way you save all the decent logs from the fire on the other jobs and not just chuck good firewood onto the fire Willy nilly like some of them do. Waste not want not as my mum used to say. All the best from UK.
you know what they say, third driveway's the charm 😎
That's awesome. Love to see YT commenting on an Andrew Camarata video!
Is that true with wives too ??
Pretty much
ahahah WHY IS YT commenting here
LOL .... I have never seen KZhead comment on a video and I have watched a lot of videos. Even KZhead enjoys Andrew's videos.
That's a nice excavator. As an excavator owner for 2 years for my personal use, I must say there is a huge different in knowing how to operate one and knowing what to do with it. I would have started at the bottom and worked up. That shows how much I don't know about how to do certain things. Watching Andrew is how to learn such.
Glad to see a new post. Missed seeing Cody, Blue and you. It makes me smile watching them tugging on a stick. They have so much fun together. Thanks for including them in your vids. I had my doubts when you first showed where you were going to cut the new driveway. It turned out great. That loose rock was a blessing. Like your new machine. Great video production work.
I am simply amazed at how those large slabs of "rock" fracture into these little layers when you apply pressure. Simply amazed.
Depending on the type of rock. That is shale which is stratified.
@@royreynolds108 I wish our rock where I live was like that. Nothing short of blasting will move solid bedrock here in Muskoka Ontario. Mostly ancient granite.
It's compacted sediment from an ancient ocean that now exists on high places like here in the Catskill mountains. Climate change is real. It's been happening since the dawn of time. Man-made climate change, however, is a hoax perpetrated by Marxists to take over the world's economies... "you will own nothing and be happy"
@@loveistheanswer8137 Do you have Radon issues though with the rock not splintering? It happens a lot here in Ohio basements from digging
What the flintstones used to print their newspapers on with the birds beak every morning. Slate. In this case shale. Slate is inferior though a type of shale.
What ever else Andrew does, you can always say his filming and editing are excellent.
Guy has drone shots *of* his drone
Andrew, having watched all your videos over the last few months since i discovered your channel. it is amazing to see how much you have leveled up your operators skills in the last couple of years. You really make this look easy
Looks good. Sure looks like a less aggressive of an angle going up. Definitely going to need some gravel up on the top part to counteract any mud, but all in all, looks good.
Like I sit here waiting on Andrew to put up new video 😂
Hahaha me too
You guys must be kidding or you need to get a life. Andy is entertaining but not even close to some other sites with the same content.
I've operated a few 235 Zero swings over the years and they are an awesome machine, very handy for tight spots, Nice buy Andrew. Awesome job
Anyone that writes measurements on their hands is absolutely the guy you want working for you. Have always loved the vids Andrew.
Congratulations on your new acquisition! You will thoroughly be happy with the 235 with its power and breakout Force I'm not sure if it says fuel efficient as a smaller model like the 220 however it sure is a game-changer with time
To be honest the entire Hyundai range seem to be comparable for fuel economy with the opposition, the added bonus is that they also box way above thier weight, for example the Hyundai 210 has more brute strength than a Volvo 220.
I love that Andrew would rather sit on footage for a year and a half and release it when he’s done with a project rather than be like a typical KZhead or that has to turn every project into the 16 part video series and talk and talk and talk
Wishing you peace, love, and happiness in all that you do. Have a great time watching the video!
THIS RIGHT HERE is one of the things that seriously sets his channel apart from literally all the others. It's incredible.
Thank you for another cool video, Andrew. Yes, I know what it's like where you are- I'm just down the Thruway a few miles, Exit 31. I used to drive out to the Hudson valley area sometimes for my route. Capital region, Southern Tier, Tri-State area. All this area was under an enormously deep prehistoric ocean. The Finger Lakes are scars of the ice retreating. Near me is a Village named Waterville, NY. Fossils of Bivalves, Trilobites, etc. Sedimentary rock (shale) is miserable stuff. It's not "real dirt" when you think about it. Might as well try to plant a garden in the Great Salt Lake bed. I admire your effort, the content and production are spot on as usual. I really enjoy long, thoughtfully produced videos about something I'm interested in.
Congratulations on the new excavator Andrew I have to say your video editing skills are top notch like no other on KZhead. You have sure come a long way I have been watching from the beginning and always look forward to seeing your videos I hope they come more frequently now that springtime is here.
Awesome as always.Thanks for sharing and taking us along
Andrew not many operators could visualize a driveway going up a small mountain but you confidently can. Quite impressive you eyeballed the entire dig....great video and I like that you're buying newer machines. None of my business but I hope you sell off your older equipment you don't use anymore. Great video!!
Thanks
Andrew it's great to see you with a new toy ! I always enjoy watching your videos , and your expertise at running and repairing heavy equipment..
Nice job. That new driveway route is certainly going to be easier with snow/ice around.
It's amazing how you can rough out a driveway like that in a relatively short time. I think the homeowner is going to want to put some gravel on the new portion of the driveway. Otherwise, it will be a mess after a rain or when the snow melts. Nice work, Andrew!
A ditch on the uphill side is needed still, as well as a culvert at the bottom. This will prevent water running onto, and across the driveway in storms.
Lets see if it needed ditches. It may not.
@@AndrewCamarata agreed definitely knocked that out quick. One day? Damn...
I liked the native rock guardrails.
Isn’t it amazing how much easier the work becomes when the equipment matches the needs? 👍
I love how it makes me feel when I watch you work on other people's projects, you do it with the same gusto as it was your own.
That was a fantastic job as always, Andrew. Looking forward to the next video at this site for putting down some gravel.
Great job Andrew and what looks like a nice addition to your fleet. Dogs look so happy and content as always.
Awesome work on the new driveway for the owner. Love seeing the dogs out there playing while you work. Congratulations on getting you a new toy to play with and uses with work😊
Those 235's LCR are brilliant..we have 2 on a macadamia plantation in northern mozambique. Brilliant for working in tight inter row spaces. They quickly became favourites between the operators. 25% more fuel efficient than the cats too...Hitachi excavators still run circles around everything else though. Great video Andrew.
Andrew. Great to see you back in action. You haven’t lost the knack of operating that equipment. Good luck with the new back hole . Great video. 👍
Hmmm, did you mis-type 'black hole? as in where the money ends up? lol lol
@@jimmackey2909 🤣😅😂
Great engineering and excavation job Andrew. You made short work of a big job and entertaining to boot! Already looking forward to your next great adventure. Good luck to you and the boys!
Once again, awesome video. I must tell you Andrew, you made my bucket list young man, I would like to just shake your hand. One day I hope to do just that. Keep up the great work and I can already see your property in 5 years, absolutely amazing. Like to know how you planned it all, and it doesn’t just stop there. ❤ you man…
I just love it when you get newer and better equipment, you are reaping what you have been sowing for so long. Cheers!
Your comments always leave me feeling enlightened and informed.
Awesome video Andrew ! Quite impressive you eyeballed the entire dig....great video and I like that you're buying newer machines.
Great job Andrew. Can't wait to see more. Have a great day and thanks for sharing.
Хорошая техника,особенно мини
thank you Andrew , i hope to watch more and more as well as re-wach as im happy to do! Congratulations with the new Hyundai excavator! It will of course pay for itself! I hope to see a dedicated museum area of Camerata vehicles with a short history on a plaque vidoe! Let them rust away in the knowledge they took you to where you are today and afforded you great memories! Love your work!
Great machine and a nice job.....and I just loved the sound of that big lorry pulling away sans excavator. Great stuff.
At first I thought it was going to be too steep, but it looks like it’s just right. Great job with the new Hyundai.
Another great video! Andrew, I have to compliment you on the volume control of the music. So many channels practically blast you out of your chair when they add music, & you constantly have to adjust the volume between the music and dialogue. Your videos are so enjoyable and interesting to watch.
Andrew, fantastic 5 🌟 job and absolutely enjoyed seeing this new to you machine working and not breaking down. As always God bless yah from Gaffney South Carolina viewer 🙏❤️💯
It’s great to see Hall and Oates are still making an impact. Andrew has really struck gold this time.
Now you got a nice machine! I call it a extremely good deal.. looks like lots of power and for a zero turn seems very stable. Now you gotta get something to haul it around lol. Great video buddy!
Andrew's "new" excavator is like owning a car made in the same decade you're currently living in! 😂😂😂
He’s worked hard for everything he’s got!
Awesome video. Keep them coming. Projects you work on are super interesting to the rest of us! 💪👍🏼
Its hard to explain just why it is so satisfying to watch this kind of work being done, since Adam makes it look so easy, maybe we men, or women, feel that we might accomplish the same thing with the right equipment. After watching Adam fight with tree stumps all those years with smaller excavators, its awesome to see mighty Hercules Hyundai come thru and knock them over like so many toothpicks.
I didn't think you were going to lift some of those large rocks . Nice job Andrew
Andrew, with the amount of major earthworks you do at elevation on some serious land and the use of drones have you heard of DJI RTK and also the benefits of topographical surveying and 3D mapping for work just like you are doing here. Great Video
I doubt the man would use it, he’s kind of a no plan wing it kind of guy
I make the plan in my head. I did this measurement just to show people why I was doing this.
@@AndrewCamarata great results
Andrew,that Hyundai is a great purchase,and is a fantastic addition to your fleet!!!💯👍👍👍👍
Nice new toy! Always a pleasure to see you post Andrew 😎👍
Definitely an improvement over the second driveway. The new excavator certainly made the job way easier to accomplish in a relatively short time compared to having to use his older equipment. Just needs some heavy plastic ground cover put down then 4 to 6 inches of gravel on top rolled in with Andrew's roller like Chris Letsdig18 does it. A couple of those huge flat rocks at the bottom to be address stones would have been really cool. With them facing opposite ways. Chris did that on his homestead with flat rocks he got ffom a huge rock removal job for a hillside Vetenary building.
Dear Mr. Camarata. 👍👌👏 Well done again. 2) The relatively new big and strong excavator is obviously capable of even handling really big/heavy rocks. Very impressive. 3) I absolutely love your dogs, especially Blue. 💚💚 Obviously each time only one wood stick = the same, is interesting enough, that it's worth fighting for. Although the forest is full of sticks. 😁😁 Thanks a lot for making teaching explaining recording editing uploading and sharing. Best regards luck and especially health to all involved life forms (humans and dogs).
Ac. How we have longed for a new video. Thanks brother!
Great job AC, enjoyed watching you carve out the hillside. Your new (to you) Hyundai 235 is a beast too.👏🏻
I’ve enjoyed your projects on the mountain but it is enjoyable to see you back on a customer project.
Love watching you work. Gotta remember to not work with the weight on your final drives. Another project in the books. Cool.
The new Excavator is really nice Andrew. The zero tail swing is so convenient.
I also really like the he zero tail swing. One less thing to worry about when in a tight spot !! You sure knocked out that driveway in double-quick time !!
Dang cool good job on that driveway I like the big stones at the edge that excavator looks like it works pretty good 👍
That little machine is a BEAST. I Love it. I also very much a enjoy all you put out. It's just good, clean, honest to a fault. Fun. Thank you Andrew.
Real nice addition to the fleet!
Haven’t watched Andrew for a while and am glad that you finally purched a new excavator to do your work ! Glad to see that less break downs and more production ! Congratulations to see you move up in your business ventures to do more and better work !
10 yr old equipment is not "new"
Nothing but respect. Amazing skills. Great job Andrew.
It seems like it was just yesterday when I watched some of your very first podcast. You've come a long way pilgrim and I must have missed a video or two because I see you've got a new acquisition which looks like it's a 235 and it handled those nice address stones or guard rails quite well! Thanks bunches for bringing us on your journey
Best excavating & construction channel on KZhead .
Another great video sir, thanks for bringing us along on this project. Love how you positioned the slabs of rock rather than just pushing them off or over the hillsides. Wishing you and your furry duo another great week, gentle seasonally appropriate weather and restful evenings. Peace brother
Yes. We want more dog content 🐶🐕 Those two fighting over a stick in a forest was hilarious.
New full size ex is amazing! Roughly how many hours did this take you? I can also appreciate how it must be precarious working on the side of a hill like that and swinging around large trees.
Great job roughing in the new driveway. Nice excavator, a super addition to your fleet, I wouldn't mind having one of that size someday.
A new excavator! And it looks very new and shiny with lots of dreaded computers! 😅
Taking an excavator down that hill was quite a deal. I think it showed a degree of courage. Enjoyed the video.
These are my favorite videos that you make where you are doing a job for someone else. Great job!
I really miss these kinds of video's, nice to see you back in the woods sorting out problems.
Your vids and footage are awesome. Nice machine right there. Looks like it did everything you asked of it.
what kind of drone you use?
Nothing broke, i thought i was on the wrong channel there for a minute. great job. What a beast of a tool. watching those two wrestle over the same stick has kinda caught on for them. Nice driveway. kinda ol school Andrew. Thanks for sharing
Nice video. I liked how you cleaned up the woodpile. You'll want one of those rotating logging grapples though. (;
Nice work. That excavator is sweet. Hopefully it lasts long for you without any major problems.
I like the new bumper, can't wait to see a video on it.
Yeah, I just need to edit it, and film myself crashing into more stuff. I need a junk car.
@@AndrewCamarata Running into those old roller Tires would launch them pretty far
Been on jobs with 10 guys on a similar project. Most just leaned on shovels and "mombacked" all day....The boss never pulled the phone from his ear and pointed his finger alot....while the customer kept checking out the six figure dually. Here we have just Andrew......wow!
Extremely beneficial to see the measuring scale. Observing the vision come to fruition. Nice having the natural bedding materials scratched out in process.
Your ability to maintain a positive attitude in difficult situations is truly inspiring.
Okay Andrew❗️That's what I expect from you, clearing land and leveling a driveway in a day. Love it...
Great video as usual Andrew, love the new machine!
Thanks
Yes very nice excavator seems to be able to handle a big job .Great job done on the rough in driveway well done sir Andrew thank you for the video
Andrew's excavating videos are about the only ones I will watch on YT because he throws the video into high speed with good music for background and only slows it down for the important parts. Most of the other KZheadrs don't do that and instead they drone on and on in their long videos telling this story and that story and what should be a short video turns into a long one. Good job, Andrew, on both the new driveway and the way you do your videos.
Great purchase Andrew. I bought a 5 ton Hyundai 19 years ago did nearly 7000 his with next to no issues, retired it 2 years ago , replaced it with a komatsu 5 ton , wished I stuck wit Hyundai ,awesome machine
Love the new piece of equipment!
If anybody was wondering: It's a gradient change from 14.4° to 6.8° so less than half the incline.
Yup that was obvious, it was twice as long and the same height.
Thanks for another great video. What a beast the new X is!!
AWESOME JOB BROTHER, NO MATTER WHAT YOU EARNED EVERYTHING! PROUD OF YOU MY FRIEND, Thanks for sharing, Kirk from Louisiana and always sending prayers for you, your family and those awesome two boys! Cody and Blue! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
It’s crazy how Andrew can get more things done in one day then a whole construction team on the highway
Tells you alot about government and wasted expenses, contractors are laughing there heads off at tax payers .
Those guys are union. They get paid to stand around. I watched a county road crew here take 2 days to replace 30 ft of 4 ft high chain link fence. Not the poles. Just the fence !! Shame on the mess !!!
Let's be fair, a highway project has significantly higher expectations for wear & tear, speed, drainage, etc. Nothing wrong with a 12% slope 0.1 mile single lane driveway, mind!
It is a pitty
@@mrwilson7617 well Andrew will have spent 2 weeks doing that job, so the County crew are quicker than Andrew. See my comment below if Andrew doesnt delete it...
Went from 13deg to slightly over 8deg slope. Will be a nice improvement for the homeowner.
Andrew your one of the best operators of equipment I have ever seen brother
My man is amazing. Never scared to take on a project and does the work of 10 man crews.
Not really - you cant fit 10 men inside one of these cabs and work properly....
With all of the equipment Andrew has it's time for a semi and lowboy
Get an AutoCar absolutely
A semi and a lowboy do not make you any money. Most time they just sit, break for no reason, and need repairs. Cheaper to rent.
@@terrencejreich I keep my lowboys just like the dump trucks to manage the schedules and to do a little side work to help cover costs
@@terrencejreich I don't know how the registration works where he's from, but Jesse Muller got his own lowboy and truck, but he registered it so that it's not 'for hire', so basically he can only use it for his own equipment. Which makes it much cheaper than normal. Going off his videos he broke even within a short amount of time because he was using it to pick up ICFs.
@@doolittlegeorge those are great. I think the one that he found out in the middle of the woods was an autocar.
I think Andrew has an even bigger equipment purchasing addiction than Matt from Diesel Creek.
Awesome video thanks for sharing awesome new excavator😊
G'Day from down under Andrew, I see you are starting early getting your 'handrails' installed nice to see a new video from the hardest worker on you tube 😊😊
The Lab Inspectors are such a nice addition to your work!
I know Andrew has many,many hrs operating, my friend you make it look so easy... I appreciate the drone use as a measuring tool...always be open to new ideas...
Dang, that was nice low-boy. Thanks for letting him catch a couple of gears as he drove away. Sounded great, killer shifts.
Holy Cow Andrew…….really moving up in the world…….gonna really move some terra firma……..👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
