I am an old women of 76 but I LOVE to watch HOW you handle the different huge machinates with so much skill. Well done, and yes the way do the videos and change the music is brilliant. Thanks guys, you are awesome workers xxx Aunt Eli xxx ( South Africa)
Andrew is THE polar opposite of Stoney Ridge Farmer, who has his face in the camera 85 percent of the damn time...... And doesn't do anything, but hires it out like the trust-fund poser that he is.
I've done a lot of work on my property BY HAND when I was younger. Never had the money to bring in machines. Now I'm gonna do some more and at 66 years old I'm going to rent a skid steer. Watching your videos is helping me learn how to attack the area where I'm going to be working
Get an excavator much faster and more versatile and powerful.my father was a logging contractor before excavators became popular.we also had farm which I looked after when dad was in the woods.when the excavators came on the scene it changed everything. We went from dozers and tractors to excavators so we could compete in the contracting game
Andrew may not post videos everyday, but when he does they are amazing. He puts in so much effort into his editing and his drone footage is awesome!! It is always the highlight of my day when I see a new video posted from him ! He has this ability to teach you so much and I know how much that I have learned from his videos. Love the videos!
I am soo addicted to watching this channel. I love how nonchalant he is towards everything he does! That’s not saying he doesn’t do an amazing job because he does! He just goes about it with such an easy going mentality that it’s actually fun to watch him move dirt and gravel around! As my grandfather always said, you’re a good man Charlie Brown and there’s not many of us left!! Keep up the good work both in your business and in your channel!🤙🏽🤙🏽
Oh man when stuff breaks.. I have been known to swear. This guy is like “so it’s broke, I’m gonna fix it now” breaks out grinder.. lol - love it! Entertaining and motivational..
Hey Andrew, I can’t imagine how much work it takes to do your job but than also film and edit. I watch all videos as I am in a hospital bed and waiting to be placed in palliative care… since I have been fighting cancer for 11-years. TC
I noticed that it was old content. That skid steer has been in SEVERAL newer videos and he said in the video he just got it. Plus he is using his old dodge instead of his new one. It doesn't matter though. ANY video Andrew puts out is amazing. Who cares if he waited a while to upload this.
I hope everyone appreciates how he posts these long videos, he could easily split them in several 10 minutes videos full of bla bla blaing to try and weasel more $. good guy Camarata
The best part is when you notice he’s stitched together footage from throughout the year for longer projects and rarely splits a project video up. (Excluding the large scale castle build)
quickcode TH-cam wants long videos ppl who hit 10 mins is just so they can monotize Andrew makes videos cause he enjoys it himself. He’s not on TH-cam to make money
I can’t tell you how much this video is helping me. Just bought a farm and need to clear some roads and a lot of underbrush. I don’t have any equipment but will need to rent and learn to operate as I go. I flew helicopters in the army for a long time and hope my eye hand coordination will be a big help in learning how to operate the different pieces of equipment. I’m sure I should hire a company with qualified operators and appropriate equipment, but I really want to do the work myself. Sorry about the rambling. Enjoying the video. Thank you very much for sharing.
If you want to do the work your self that's the right attitude. Especially ff you have the time; do it. Might be better off buying machines if you can too. I want to get into helicopters someday.
It is Christmas Eve. My wife and two young kids are out doing some last-minute shopping for tomorrow. I did the dishes, I cleaned off the couch, and I made my lunch already for when I go back to work for Thursday. I have about an hour until my family gets back and I can't think of any better way for me to spend that time then watching this video of Andrew clearing land using a dozer. If I have any time left over after this one, I will definitely start on another one of his videos. I literally cannot stop watching this guy work. He is a true master operator! Merry Christmas all!!!
The power of a bulldozer blows my mind every time. I spent 2 days digging out a small stump, tried to pull it out with my Ram 1500, snapping steel cable, being afraid I was going to set my airbag off from my from trying to yank it out. I ended up digging down further, and cutting below grade with a chainsaw and covering it up. That thing just removed one larger than mine, and it did it with out slowing down.
The trees in his area also have shallow roots due to the rock. Makes for easier take downs. Trees in the south are much harder to take down even with a bigger dozer.
One hour eighteen minutes and seventeen seconds of watching some random guy push dirt & gravel around... ...with a bulldozer...and a skid steer...and a dump truck...in winter...in the woods... Totally worth it!
I’m sitting in hospital bed at the moment watching your videos trying to pass the time I love your videos I watch them a few times over keep up the good work keep making videos
Sitting here wondering why I like your videos so much and I realized you have revolutionized the way I and people that are info junkys and fix it people, can totally dig on the way you get the info across. From the way you fly the drone to the music and the angle shots. Just off the hook. Thanks for giving me something fun to watch and very informative.
Andrew! Aside from your obvious working skills I'm extremely impressed by the video production and editing. And you are getting constantly even better at it. Mixing tripod progress shots with drone footage and POV in the machines. Going from over-looking shots far away to close ups with the dozer blade an inch from the camera! Doing timelapses with some soft music and you make the cross-overs so nice, the attention to detail is amazing. Fading in the music a bit before the audio goes silent and the timelapses start. And the best part is your laid back storytelling, this is why I'm here and we're doing this! You are a master!
So much to learn here. Unbelievable what this young man can do on his own. I am a 77-year-old lady and I love this series. Too bad children are not taught to be productive.
Same here...the power of that doser is remarkable and whenever he goes to start up the dump trucks I'm there cheering them on go-baby-go start start LOL love this channel,.
Andrew, I was a bit surprised when you brought out your Cat D4 to do the driveway, but you really showed what that machine is capable of. I thought that you would have brought one of the bigger excavators too pull out the tree stumps and trees, but you showed us just how capable the D4 is. Wow, nice job and fast.
The roots on them trees where not very big or deep, where i live in a doug fir forest in th PNW know way would that work. That would have been a whole differant job around here, you are rite though, it did look pretty cool.
Jamie Mieirs it would still do it. Firs are wide not deep. Pick the roots on one side with the corner of the blade, push the tree right over while lifting the roots with the blade. A big Excavator can just uproot the whole tree in one shot I get that but dozers move some serous earth and a good operator can get don many other things.
There is not much ground water where fir trees usally grow so to find the water they are deep. Just watched my nieghbor put in a road last month and guy tried with a d4 but ended up bringing in a big excavator, the road was only about 50 yards and took a full week. Fir trees are very tough.
I’m sitting in hospital bed at the moment watching your videos trying to pass the time I love your videos I watch them a few times over keep up the good work keep making videos
Andrew, I cannot get over the excellent work you do. You are are a real artist when it comes to laying out a job and mastering the look and the quality of it. I just love watching you at play, If you could video more of this kind of action I know I'd be a happy watcher. Thank you for your time in videoing and the care you put into every little thing you do.
I'm just going to say this. If the amount of hard work, and effort Andrew puts into filming, and editing these videos is any indication of his work ethic. Then the work that he does on site is among if not the best out there. I would kill to have even one person working for me that has the same drive, skill, and dedication as Andrew.
Yes Andrew thanks for the trouble of loading and editing of these videos. You finish the job onsite while recording it then you start your second job back at the castle of editing videos. Brings back memories...Bravo- from Butch in Central Texas
Now days we have a whole generation or two that only know how to work using there thumbs. You man are a gem and I hope others your age and younger see the value you achieve when you work hard and learn skills. Love your work ethic .
Everyday was an adventure with the US Forest Service.. we are in 42 states with 156 national forests..I would of enjoyed Andrew..I worked on one forest in West Virginia. The rest in wash, Oregon, Idaho, California, Nevada, Montana and some Wyoming.. all was fun..required body in shape and willingness to get the job done..37 years..was a great time..
Andrew, thank you for your videos. I really enjoy how you setup and show the work from outside the cab of the vehicle because it's so much easier to see the work being done. I know that's more work for you because you have to get out and reset the tripod at times, but it really does an excellent job of showing everything on the site.
Great stuff Andrew. The D4, 955, and the Ford tractor are my favorites of the Camarata Fleet. I would love to see a Camarata Property Maintenance calendar. O. M. G. And the Paystar!
A year ago I started watching Andrews channel I really didn’t know a channel like this existed I’ve been addicted ever since then and started making my own videos. My videos with close to no editing and now all I want to do is buy a drone to take aerial shots of my jobs and film. I am glad to see hard working guys out there because that is lacking where I live it seems.
As a forester..that worked for 37 years in the west..building logging roads, harvest dead and stagnant forest..this guy has my respect..great passion andrew
Love to watch Andy everyday. I am an old girl but I like work, that's the way I have always been and Andy would rather just be working, it's good for the soul and it keeps you in good mental condition and it's just what people should do.!!!
Here at my apartment i have an Apple Desktop PC. When Andrew does his thing, i put my PC on wide screen and its just like real life home movies, fantastic. Bob, New Zealand.
That is the best way to clear the land quickly. It don't take forever to get a driveway put in. But sure fun watching them. Mud is the worst, thank goodness for crush stones to fill in the mud for a better driveway.
It's impressive what a dozer can do in clearing - wish I had one over for a day to reclaim some land my grandfather used to pasture his work horses (amazing how a hillside field can turn into jungle in a few years!) Great skills, great filming and quite like the birds eye view with the drone.
Andrew, I am impressed with your skill!! You know what you're doing with your machines: taking care of them, fixing them, and operating them. It was fun watching your D-4 dozer in the land clearing operation. I like that International dump truck!! Keep up the good work, and keep posting the videos!! (Very well done videos, I may add!!)
Mind boggleing .I love to see stumps geting ripped out and hear the roots snapping underground . My swivel chair didn't stop moving for a moment loved every moment thankyou from Australia .
That Cat is amazing for its size. I never knew a D4 could do so much work. The 6 way blade really helps with those stumps. Easy to get a blade corner under the roots when you can tilt the blade like that.
Used to live on a mountainside for 20 years.. it wasn't until the last 5 that I started getting equipment. Makes all the difference. It used to be that a foot of snow meant chains all 4.. but 2 feet + and we were stranded.
Doesn't help that the guys with the chainsaws left a mess - let's just cut trees down and leave them to Andrew to clean up.... They even left a couple of widowmakers.
@@keithbrier4397 I lived in northern california, at 4000 elevation we saw over 110 degree summers, (120+ in the valley) and our worst winter was 11 feet in 90-91 and over 7 feet a decade later. Now the place is burning up. Got out of there 5 years ago never looked back.
He may not be the best at everything but he the next best at other things, my opinion only.march 16, 2023, didn't know it was on before now, been busy, good job Andrew.
I just love watching you use that dozer these are my favorite videos. It's been quite a while since I've seen you use it. Nice to see it in action again. Love these long video's very entertaining!!!! That big 10 wheel International was sure a wise investment for you!! I know this vid is just filler while you are wokin your butt off expanding your empire with the improvements to the headquarters of Camarata Holdings Limited.
Hard to believe I spent over an hour watching a bulldozer go forward and back, forward and back. Ha, ha! I guess there is something satisfying about seeing the beginning of something being improved/constructed and anticipating what might be built there in the future. The sound of the roots creaking and cracking from the power of the dozer is kinda relaxing. too. Tim Taylor "grunt, grunt, grunt".
starting fluid contributes to a more difficult-to-start engine. Finally, the engine does not start without starting fluid anymore so I recommend fixing intake heaters or glow plugs, what the engine now uses for pre heat. Greetings from Sweden
Alot of the older stuff has no glow plugs and definitely no intake heaters. My first cummins powered international had either start on the firewall built in with button on the dash. I was careful not to use it often though
The old cats and construction equipment like his 10 wheeler with I believe the 855 cummins are all mechanical fuel injected motors and do not have any form of grid heaters/glow plugs the only thing that they have is block heaters which are useful if you don't have a power connection on the site. I think the IHI may be new enough that is has electronic fuel injection is why it starts so easy.
wonder how they did at that time. pretty sure they did not use starter fluid. we have an old ford 9600 at home in the yard that dont have any glow plugs or intake heater but it starts almost immediately, even in the middle of winter
Andrew, I think I have seen all of your videos and I’m looking for new videos. I could watch your videos all day long, I like them. I love the long videos the most. Also I think you are the best operator I have ever seen. Guy ln CA.
looked like some new old stock...by the new skid steer and the grey dodge...loved though...mad skills on the d4..seen d8's not do as good...probably the strongest little dozer I ever seen and I have driven a couple...the go-pro puts you right in the seat..Andrew can drive that heavy equipment, I seen him jump from one to another all running...well done Sir...thing is he records it too...wished he lived around here , I would hire him, hell I would , mad skills
Did my first minor clearing/clean up job with my tractor. It was only 2 days and took longer than I thought it would. The guy was pretty happy with the results though so that was good to hear from him. Sure wish I had a bigger machine!
Looking over my shoulder; Mrs. Mundane says, "if you like watching equipment operation so much, why don't you just buy one?" Answer: Watching Andrew is a lot cheaper, easier and more fun." Thanks Andrew.
You know what I think. Andrew is a young man having fun and getting paid for using his toys. I am 82 years old and do the same thing. I love using my toys to do jobs around town also keeps you young. Have fun Andrew . Love your vids.
32:38 Wow, I can’t believe how strong this machine is. That’s amazing pushing all of those trees at the same time. 😮😮😮. Waiting for the Garage Extension video watching the D4 videos…. A wonderful life. ❤❤❤❤❤
i can NEVER get enough of Andrew Camarata's construction videos!! this guy is a one person wrecking crew of the first order. Andrew - you ought to send this video and a few others to Cat and show them how you make your D4 act like a D11 LOL! i watch a lot of dozer videos and i've never seen any other operator just THROW the machine at stuff at full throttle just to see what will happen like you do. Cat ought to loan you machines in order to test their capabilities and limits. they probably would never do that because you would show all the construction companies how they can make "small Cats" do the work of "big Cats" LOL!
I think its pretty awesome you do what you do. Placing material over frozen mud is wild! At the end is crazy with the way its pumping. God bless you man. You're a rare breed and not many are left.
Andrew I would like to offer my sincere apology for past comments on your Video's. My wife and I started our construction company in 1994 with a $10,000 loan from the bank that we used to purchase a used dump truck and a used Case Backhoe. We like you worked hard and today we own 9 locations in 6 states doing everything from small private residential to state contracted high steel erections, oil and gas energy and road and interstate. We employ 1600 plus employee's and maintain over 900 pieces of heavy, medium and light duty machinery. While I like to think that my zero tolerance safety and vehicle care policies are best. I fail to realize that my Mission Statement is not everyone's. My wife reminded me of that after I had her watch one of your video's. She pointed out that You and I were very similar in our practices the first 10 years of growing our companies. Her words were ''Andrew reminds me of you and just when did you get so big for your britches that you forgot where our journey started''? She was absolutely right and this morning I walked around my company equipment yard looking at the machinery and remembering. I still have that old dump truck I started with, its parked next to Backhoe #01 in the back of the yard just a couple of feet from Three D11 Cat Dozers and a couple D8's. I have never been able to bring myself to sell them even though they are fully maintained regularly they, never see job locations anymore. I want to thank you for reminding me and my wife where we started. I never filmed any of my jobs back then but would have loved to and now I'm just the guy who owns the shovel and hands it to someone else to use reminding them to rinse it off before putting it away. I am very proud of my companies growth and I am so glad that I have achieved what I have now, but more important I am glad that I can now watch your videos not with criticism but with a new set of eyes that see's a whole lot clearer and can watch ''The Good Old Days'' thru you and your videos. Thank You for your video's and for making it possible for my wife to replace my too big britches so they fit a bit better now. I wish you the best of luck in following your dream and I will be proud to be your most humble and hopefully wiser subscriber. Thank You.
Sometimes a quick kick in the nads from the wife helps you to think. Do not ever give up on the safety first though you do not want any of your people hurt.
@Bob Ross, you may have been a fine painter but at th-cam.com/video/PClVezOduFk/w-d-xo.html and a bit that looks suspiciously like a Stihl angle grinder, humph, not!
Three o'clock in the morning with a joint watching AC. can't get better than that ha, nice to see you have a crew you won't make older people worried, the skid steer work nice good work as always. Plenty of fire wood to hear the castle cool
always great watching - can I say how much I appreciate the fact that you do real work that we can watch rather than all this crap made up for u tube channels - there is a real difference - thanks,
I find your videos very interesting, and really enjoy how you can fix most anything. I told my wife you were a modern day “MacGyver”! Keep up the good work!
Totally understandable behavior. It would be weird not to do so. Also; we all have a hidden spot for Marvin Kilmeyer (think that was his name). I mean, a man can only be pushed so far.
I am sure you like all the advice you get, but your big girl dump truck (Lena) would do well to be in the 3 sided shed you have if she fits. Man you have the coolest toys and sweet equipment. It is a lot harder to move them logs around with an old Farmall super M. That tracked skidsteer really works hard, I like the colors it is like a running suit from the 1980s.
Typical in a forest like that. There is a lot of leaf litter and humus on the surface so the roots don't usually go that deep. This is also the reason why you can clean an area like that and leave a few trees. Then the first real wind storm blows them over real easy because there is no other trees around to block the wind.
Man with someone that is growing by simply being himself and working hard there's a lot of haters disliking this video. I would say that's a sign of Awesomeness. And he's making $$$
These nay sayers are probably all tree huggers.They don't like what he's doing to the planet.I would bet most of them are cave dwellers and can't think for themselves. If any thing he's saving the environment .
@@joeg9920 But they have solar powered cell phones and calculators that don't use nasty batteries that are bad for the environment. Although these devices have rare earth metals that are retrieved from hundreds if not thousands of feet under the ground (mostly in China/some Africa/tiny bit Calf) using machines much bigger than this little dozer so they can rip much bigger holes in the earth (requiring downing many trees). And that wouldn't make sense that they would be proud of such "all green" devices all for the sake of a few trees in our part of the world, so you must be wrong?...wouldn't you?

traction and gearing/torque
Me too. That D4 really hits above it's weight.
The trees in his area also have shallow roots due to the rock. Makes for easier take downs. Trees in the south are much harder to take down even with a bigger dozer.
How dense was the soil? Where Kamarata lives the soil seems to be a lot less packed than where I'm at.
Was coming to comment the same thing. So much power.
As a 7 year old I loved stuff like this. As a grown man I still love stuff like this... makes me want to go and buy a ranch
*I hate being an accountant. I thought I needed a new Camry, but what I really need is a bulldozer.*

@@igdes1 😳🤣
Get well, friend!
Don't sit lie down
Been watching you work all day long with my 2 month old boy and wouldn't you know it, a new video. Thanks Andrew!
Thank you for sharing part of your life with us Andrew. It is a blessing!
id say he is blessed and is a blessing.
Andrew, I cannot get over the excellent work you do. You are are a real artist when it comes to laying out a job and mastering the look and the quality of it. I just love watching you at play, If you could video more of this kind of action I know I'd be a happy watcher.
Thank you for your time in videoing and the care you put into every little thing you do.
ARTIST and CLEAN and THOROUGH. I too agree. THat is one powerful dozer without being what I thought they would need like a D9 or higher.
I'm just going to say this.
If the amount of hard work, and effort Andrew puts into filming, and editing these videos is any indication of his work ethic. Then the work that he does on site is among if not the best out there. I would kill to have even one person working for me that has the same drive, skill, and dedication as Andrew.
Yes Andrew thanks for the trouble of loading and editing of these videos. You finish the job onsite while recording it then you start your second job back at the castle of editing videos. Brings back memories...Bravo- from Butch in Central Texas
@@georgehill99 I kind of want him to direct a movie. I think he could put out a film that would be well worth watching.
For a little while I thought I was going to be bored, but it's a real pleasure watching someone who knows how to use his machines.
The amazing thing about these videos is the pacing; just when I think, "time to move on" it goes to FF. Perfect pacing.
@@benjover5663 😝
I was just thinking this
@@benjover5663 Ben Dover bend over
I learned that also with Andrews video's.......dont ever FF......he always does it himself at just the right time
I've done a lot of construction and I'm encouraged by your ability to learn, and learn and learn. You are an amazing general contractor at your age.
Adrian
yep Andrew is the real shit. he gets it done.
At any age, it seems?
Now days we have a whole generation or two that only know how to work using there thumbs. You man are a gem and I hope others your age and younger see the value you achieve when you work hard and learn skills. Love your work ethic .
Everyday was an adventure with the US Forest Service.. we are in 42 states with 156 national forests..I would of enjoyed Andrew..I worked on one forest in West Virginia. The rest in wash, Oregon, Idaho, California, Nevada, Montana and some Wyoming.. all was fun..required body in shape and willingness to get the job done..37 years..was a great time..
Andrew, thank you for your videos. I really enjoy how you setup and show the work from outside the cab of the vehicle because it's so much easier to see the work being done. I know that's more work for you because you have to get out and reset the tripod at times, but it really does an excellent job of showing everything on the site.
Great stuff Andrew. The D4, 955, and the Ford tractor are my favorites of the Camarata Fleet. I would love to see a Camarata Property Maintenance calendar. O. M. G. And the Paystar!
I second this motion Andrew Camarata
The drone shots in your videos are terrific. As a 71 year old man I also admire your work ethic and multiple skills. Keep up the good work!
A year ago I started watching Andrews channel I really didn’t know a channel like this existed I’ve been addicted ever since then and started making my own videos. My videos with close to no editing and now all I want to do is buy a drone to take aerial shots of my jobs and film. I am glad to see hard working guys out there because that is lacking where I live it seems.
As a forester..that worked for 37 years in the west..building logging roads, harvest dead and stagnant forest..this guy has my respect..great passion andrew
Love to watch Andy everyday. I am an old girl but I like work, that's the way I have always been and Andy would rather just be working, it's good for the soul and it keeps you in good mental condition and it's just what people should do.!!!
I’ve literally cancelled my cable after discovering Andrews TH-cam channel.
Thank you so much for all of this free content
haha , good move. I cancelled 3 yrs ago.
Me too
I hate TV LOLOLOLOLOL
I cut the cable back in 2009!!
Fuck tV!!! Camarata rocks!
i not only cancelled my cable, i also quit my job..Andrew does enough work for the both of us!!
damn andrew this is like a christmas marathon uploading videos back to back thank you
My 3 year old son absolutely LOVES your videos. Thanks for posting so many :)
Here at my apartment i have an Apple Desktop PC. When Andrew does his thing, i put my PC on wide screen and its just like real life home movies, fantastic.
Bob, New Zealand.
Seems like Andrew loves what he does for a living. Having fun and getting paid for it. He is something special.
That is the best way to clear the land quickly. It don't take forever to get a driveway put in. But sure fun watching them. Mud is the worst, thank goodness for crush stones to fill in the mud for a better driveway.
It's impressive what a dozer can do in clearing - wish I had one over for a day to reclaim some land my grandfather used to pasture his work horses (amazing how a hillside field can turn into jungle in a few years!) Great skills, great filming and quite like the birds eye view with the drone.
Andrew, I am impressed with your skill!! You know what you're doing with your machines: taking care of them, fixing them, and operating them. It was fun watching your D-4 dozer in the land clearing operation. I like that International dump truck!! Keep up the good work, and keep posting the videos!! (Very well done videos, I may add!!)
Mind boggleing .I love to see stumps geting ripped out and hear the roots snapping underground . My swivel chair didn't stop moving for a moment loved every moment thankyou from Australia .
AC, you have quite a collection of equipment and you know how to run all of them. It's a pleasure to watch you work.
That Cat is amazing for its size. I never knew a D4 could do so much work.
The 6 way blade really helps with those stumps. Easy to get a blade corner under the roots when you can tilt the blade like that.
anyone who lacks the ambition to do a tough job just need to watch 2 minutes of your video great motivator Andrew thanks for that go andrew go
Unless you have lived and worked in a snowy area, you can't appreciate how much more difficult it makes everything.
Used to live on a mountainside for 20 years.. it wasn't until the last 5 that I started getting equipment. Makes all the difference. It used to be that a foot of snow meant chains all 4.. but 2 feet + and we were stranded.
Beats the damn heat any day!
Doesn't help that the guys with the chainsaws left a mess - let's just cut trees down and leave them to Andrew to clean up.... They even left a couple of widowmakers.
@@keithbrier4397 I lived in northern california, at 4000 elevation we saw over 110 degree summers, (120+ in the valley) and our worst winter was 11 feet in 90-91 and over 7 feet a decade later. Now the place is burning up. Got out of there 5 years ago never looked back.
@@reforgedcriterion1471 I don't blame you bud.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who loves watching this.
He may not be the best at everything but he the next best at other things, my opinion only.march 16, 2023, didn't know it was on before now, been busy, good job Andrew.
I just love watching you use that dozer these are my favorite videos. It's been quite a while since I've seen you use it. Nice to see it in action again. Love these long video's very entertaining!!!! That big 10 wheel International was sure a wise investment for you!! I know this vid is just filler while you are wokin your butt off expanding your empire with the improvements to the headquarters of Camarata Holdings Limited.
You must have a few of these long term jobs cued up waiting for some free time to process them. Again thanks for your good work
Hard to believe I spent over an hour watching a bulldozer go forward and back, forward and back. Ha, ha!
I guess there is something satisfying about seeing the beginning of something being improved/constructed and anticipating what might be built there in the future.
The sound of the roots creaking and cracking from the power of the dozer is kinda relaxing. too.
Tim Taylor "grunt, grunt, grunt".
Thanks for jumping in and out of that thing as many times as you must have had to to get all this great footage!
starting fluid contributes to a more difficult-to-start engine. Finally, the engine does not start without starting fluid anymore so I recommend fixing intake heaters or glow plugs, what the engine now uses for pre heat. Greetings from Sweden
Alot of the older stuff has no glow plugs and definitely no intake heaters. My first cummins powered international had either start on the firewall built in with button on the dash. I was careful not to use it often though
The old cats and construction equipment like his 10 wheeler with I believe the 855 cummins are all mechanical fuel injected motors and do not have any form of grid heaters/glow plugs the only thing that they have is block heaters which are useful if you don't have a power connection on the site. I think the IHI may be new enough that is has electronic fuel injection is why it starts so easy.
wonder how they did at that time. pretty sure they did not use starter fluid. we have an old ford 9600 at home in the yard that dont have any glow plugs or intake heater but it starts almost immediately, even in the middle of winter
Login we had a really old cat d6 before and it had glow plugs
Andrew, I think I have seen all of your videos and I’m looking for new videos. I could watch your videos all day long, I like them. I love the long videos the most. Also I think you are the best operator I have ever seen. Guy ln CA.
looked like some new old stock...by the new skid steer and the grey dodge...loved though...mad skills on the d4..seen d8's not do as good...probably the strongest little dozer I ever seen and I have driven a couple...the go-pro puts you right in the seat..Andrew can drive that heavy equipment, I seen him jump from one to another all running...well done Sir...thing is he records it too...wished he lived around here , I would hire him, hell I would , mad skills
Andrew is definitely one of the hardest workers I've seen on TH-cam and there's nothing he can't do sir you inspire people
Every now and then, I find myself coming back to this one. This has to be my favorite video, because it's so satisfying and fulfilling.
Once again I’m impressed. This video shows what can be done with an experienced operator at the controls!
Did my first minor clearing/clean up job with my tractor. It was only 2 days and took longer than I thought it would. The guy was pretty happy with the results though so that was good to hear from him. Sure wish I had a bigger machine!
The D 4 is just about right for this job. Enjoying watching a man that enjoys his job. Thanks Andrew. 👍👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
You ever think about getting a couple solar chargers for your less used stuff? Just to keep em topped off.
Big_Adam_2050 I’ve wondered that too, seems he could save a lot of time from having to jumpstart everything.
Looking over my shoulder; Mrs. Mundane says, "if you like watching equipment operation so much, why don't you just buy one?" Answer: Watching Andrew is a lot cheaper, easier and more fun." Thanks Andrew.
You have permission from the Mrs to buy a skid steer? I'd pounce before she realizes what she said!
You know what I think. Andrew is a young man having fun and getting paid for using his toys. I am 82 years old and do the same thing. I love using my toys to do jobs around town also keeps you young. Have fun Andrew . Love your vids.
Nothing like a D4 combined with a skilled operator ❗️
Charlie Taylor skilled operator?? 😂🤣
@@jeff7764 Really? Love how some folks take the time to insult or complain.
My daughter: “how can you watch this for over an hour?” Me: “but look how he tailgates the gravel.”
Ha ha ha my wife tells me the same

@@TheInvisibleOne1026 persecution complex?

@MJW What? HAHA. No idea what you are saying is but it sounds funny!!
Man, that little thing is way more powerful than I thought it would be removing stumps. Nice work!
I never skip the ads in hopes that you get the ad revenue by helping you continue making great content like this.
powerstroke one of 2 channels I don’t use TH-cam cleaner on the other being Ron Pratt
I did not know he would get ad revenue, from us watching them. I will start doing that. Thanks for educating me on this one.
@@erickstiner1668 I looked it up on Google lol
Ron Pratt is condescending, idiot, yes sir, no sir, 3 bags full sir - a complete bore!
Am I the only person here who is seriously impressed with this D4? I had no idea these little dozers were that powerful!!!
I have a john deere garden tractor almost as strong ok not really
32:38 Wow, I can’t believe how strong this machine is. That’s amazing pushing all of those trees at the same time. 😮😮😮. Waiting for the Garage Extension video watching the D4 videos…. A wonderful life. ❤❤❤❤❤
You got really good at shifting with the 10wheeler Andrew!
And this is footage from last winter too!
I like how he said " he was seeing how much fun I had with the skid steer, so he went out and bought one.'" Damn how much I wanna do that right now.
Andrew I just love watching your videos I’ve learn a lot from you and God bless your channel
This Cat can definitely do the job! Just needs an operator like you Andrew who knows what he's doing. Great job indeed.
from someone that lives in the city and dreams about the country living i simply love these videos
i can NEVER get enough of Andrew Camarata's construction videos!! this guy is a one person wrecking crew of the first order. Andrew - you ought to send this video and a few others to Cat and show them how you make your D4 act like a D11 LOL! i watch a lot of dozer videos and i've never seen any other operator just THROW the machine at stuff at full throttle just to see what will happen like you do. Cat ought to loan you machines in order to test their capabilities and limits. they probably would never do that because you would show all the construction companies how they can make "small Cats" do the work of "big Cats" LOL!
I just love using bulldozers. Honestly putting in skid roads and log landings is one of my favorite jobs.
I think its pretty awesome you do what you do. Placing material over frozen mud is wild! At the end is crazy with the way its pumping. God bless you man. You're a rare breed and not many are left.
yr skill matching the music with the visual content is proper (awesome) as we say here in South Wales UK, love it Andrew thanks.
Andrew I would like to offer my sincere apology for past comments on your Video's. My wife and I started our construction company in 1994 with a $10,000 loan from the bank that we used to purchase a used dump truck and a used Case Backhoe. We like you worked hard and today we own 9 locations in 6 states doing everything from small private residential to state contracted high steel erections, oil and gas energy and road and interstate. We employ 1600 plus employee's and maintain over 900 pieces of heavy, medium and light duty machinery. While I like to think that my zero tolerance safety and vehicle care policies are best. I fail to realize that my Mission Statement is not everyone's. My wife reminded me of that after I had her watch one of your video's. She pointed out that You and I were very similar in our practices the first 10 years of growing our companies. Her words were ''Andrew reminds me of you and just when did you get so big for your britches that you forgot where our journey started''? She was absolutely right and this morning I walked around my company equipment yard looking at the machinery and remembering. I still have that old dump truck I started with, its parked next to Backhoe #01 in the back of the yard just a couple of feet from Three D11 Cat Dozers and a couple D8's. I have never been able to bring myself to sell them even though they are fully maintained regularly they, never see job locations anymore. I want to thank you for reminding me and my wife where we started. I never filmed any of my jobs back then but would have loved to and now I'm just the guy who owns the shovel and hands it to someone else to use reminding them to rinse it off before putting it away. I am very proud of my companies growth and I am so glad that I have achieved what I have now, but more important I am glad that I can now watch your videos not with criticism but with a new set of eyes that see's a whole lot clearer and can watch ''The Good Old Days'' thru you and your videos. Thank You for your video's and for making it possible for my wife to replace my too big britches so they fit a bit better now. I wish you the best of luck in following your dream and I will be proud to be your most humble and hopefully wiser subscriber. Thank You.
Thanks
Robert, what's the name of your company? Where is your company headquartered at?
Sometimes a quick kick in the nads from the wife helps you to think. Do not ever give up on the safety first though you do not want any of your people hurt.
What a nice post!!!
Great post Robert!!
Andrew: "So he wants this tree taken down.." goes and rips it out with the dozer ...
You are talking about the guy who used a chainsaw on a truck radio install.... (◣_◢) th-cam.com/video/PClVezOduFk/w-d-xo.html
By any means neccesary...lol
@Bob Ross Yeah, that too LOL.. !!!!!
@Bob Ross What I saw was a Sthil chainsaw. And I haven't laughed so hard in a while.
@Bob Ross, you may have been a fine painter but at th-cam.com/video/PClVezOduFk/w-d-xo.html and a bit that looks suspiciously like a Stihl angle grinder, humph, not!
Three o'clock in the morning with a joint watching AC. can't get better than that ha, nice to see you have a crew you won't make older people worried, the skid steer work nice good work as always. Plenty of fire wood to hear the castle cool
always great watching - can I say how much I appreciate the fact that you do real work that we can watch rather than all this crap made up for u tube channels - there is a real difference - thanks,
I been doing this kind of work my whole life. I can't figure out why I am watching this.
Not just this one either. I'm subscribed.
If you dont mind me asking how did you get started what size dozer did you get and was it used?
Same here lol
I find your videos very interesting, and really enjoy how you can fix most anything. I told my wife you were a modern day “MacGyver”! Keep up the good work!
Don’t know how I stumbled across this channel, but love it, seems like real life problems with good solutions
Me, in my downtown city apartment, with no land or house or car:
Time to look at prices of used D4s
Around 20k for a dozer like that.
Get A D9 Armour it and go all killdozer
Totally understandable behavior. It would be weird not to do so. Also; we all have a hidden spot for Marvin Kilmeyer (think that was his name). I mean, a man can only be pushed so far.
@@shannonspear8751 Yes! th-cam.com/video/Xmr6jIpXSmg/w-d-xo.html
@@AndrewCamarata I’m on the opposite side of the country but how do you suggest getting a used small skid steer? Are there auction sites?
One of us best videos ever Andrew, no mucking around. Love it
I am sure you like all the advice you get, but your big girl dump truck (Lena) would do well to be in the 3 sided shed you have if she fits. Man you have the coolest toys and sweet equipment. It is a lot harder to move them logs around with an old Farmall super M. That tracked skidsteer really works hard, I like the colors it is like a running suit from the 1980s.
It’s amazing how those stumps just peel off the ground and push aside love watching him work
Typical in a forest like that. There is a lot of leaf litter and humus on the surface so the roots don't usually go that deep. This is also the reason why you can clean an area like that and leave a few trees. Then the first real wind storm blows them over real easy because there is no other trees around to block the wind.
I am glad you were able to send a lot of the felled trees to the mills. I hate to see wasted lumber. Fascinating video.
This video was so enjoyable. Every second. Thank you for making these videos. They are so much fun to watch.
i find the lack of steel beams in this video disturbing
He has altered the schedule.
Pray he doesn't alter it again.
What is really eating at me is his total disregard for his "new" JLG, surly could be used for something in this road work!
Oh... Im afraid, the bulldozer will be quite operational when the truck arrives...

Are use my leaf blower on a fire like that. It’s amazing how hot I could get the fire and how completely the logs were consumed.
Man with someone that is growing by simply being himself and working hard there's a lot of haters disliking this video. I would say that's a sign of Awesomeness. And he's making $$$
These nay sayers are probably all tree huggers.They don't like what he's doing to the planet.I would bet most of them

@@joeg9920 But they have solar powered cell phones and calculators that don't use nasty batteries that are bad for the environment. Although these devices have rare earth metals that are retrieved from hundreds if not thousands of feet under the ground (mostly in China/some Africa/tiny bit Calf) using machines much bigger than this little dozer so they can rip much bigger holes in the earth (requiring downing many trees). And that wouldn't make sense that they would be proud of such "all green" devices all for the sake of a few trees in our part of the world, so you must be wrong?...wouldn't you?
Good evening from Hellas thank you for your videos
Watching a 1 hour and 20 min video while sitting on the toilet made my legs go really numb
That made me laugh so hard!
Because I've been there, done that.
Ditto!!
