Just a tip Andrew. Never vibrate the drum when the machine is stationary. It hammers the bearings in the vibrator housings on one area. I worked for Galion many years ago. All the best.
Its hilarious as andrew saying atleast its still rightside up,yeah never a dull moment trying to take a 2wd roller up an iced-up mountain road,what possibly could go wrong right!😁
I thought you supposed to have the D-7 pull everything up the hill .... might as well keep it down a the base of the hill...a least the does and nobody got hurt.... expect the lawn mowers
I'm sure many have mentioned it and not something overlooked by y'all, but standing behind that with that wire under tension seemed supremely dangerous. Glad you're ok, what an adventure! Best
So glad that you have gone from fixing lawnmowers to flattening them. It shows just how far you have come. Even though I am a lawnmower mechanic, all I care about is that you are doing the things that you love to do. Thank you so much Andrew
I died a little when I saw an opposed twin Briggs in that green Murray, those motors are great. But who knows, I’m sure Andrew wouldn’t destroy a mower that isn’t junk.
That was one of your craziest videos ever! Glad no one got hurt. I bet the cat bulldozer with the winch get it back on the road. I knew it would be a battle to get the roller to the top of the mountain! Good luck
You should see it done properly by Dirt Boss . He was on the 973 building Andrews road a few episodes ago. Unlike Andrew, Mike (Dirt Boss) is very professional and you can see how he changed the tracks on his skid steer.
This is by far the best video that you put out. You actually show when things go South, and you do whatever you can to fix it. When the weather is extreme and shuts you down, you are determined to go back later to resolve the issue. Can't wait to see your next video on this.
You have not been watching long if this is the first time you’ve noticed things going south. It’s a miracle he has not killed every dog he’s owned letting them loose around moving vehicles and working equipment and running around while he has something spinning and throwing debris at high velocity
Other TH-camrs: ALMOST CRUSHED BY MY NEW ROLLER FALLING OFF A MOUNTAIN!!! Raw footage. Andrew: buries the most stressful and honest content in a video. I love this channel.
I like the small detail of mentioning how much it costs, I was watching older videos and noticed you always mentioned it before. I think It gives a reference point for someone who might wanna do what you do
I live vicariously threw Andrews channel, and I am sure I am not alone. I am also self employed and I find so much inspiration from his work ethic and positive attitude! Thanks for everything Andrew, you deserve to be recognized bro!
Rolling tips from a professional roller operator. 1. Only use vibe going up hill. It you use vibe on a steep downhill you will start sliding and loose control. 2. Sweet spot for compaction is 12 strikes (vibes) per linear foot. 3. If you do loose control immediately turn the vibe off. Also you got the roller so cheap because the drum is not driving like it's supposed to.
4, when in a tight place, stick you tongue tip out just a bit 5, when rolling up to other workers, if they look at you and laugh, they are making fun of you. roll them over....
Andrew consistently provides some of the most interesting and entertaining 'content' not just on TH-cam but anywhere. I was holding my breath those last few minutes like I was watching Top Gun again.
Just another Academy Award video from the King! I have been following AC for years now and this one is the best for nail biting action!!!!! I can't wait to see the outcome! Thanks Andrew for all you have done for all of your viewers through the years! Take care!
Wow! This episode became way more exciting then i thought it would be. Glad everyone is OK, that looked really sketchy when everything started to roll backwards. Good luck in episode 2.
I've skidded lots of logs and pulled fully loaded log trucks with that skidder machine, you have all you need in power just use more shives in your block-and-tackle set up. That was a real "hold my beer " situation if I ever saw one! Great stuff. Work out your problem like always and stay alive.
watching that fiasco with the stuck roller is like watching the movie Fargo all over again: It just gets worse and worse! Respect, Mr Camarata for taking the time to film this - it must have been a huge additional PITA!
Yeah i did actually eat some meatloaf at his new roadside diner,Had to send my food back as there seemed to be some sort of chainsawed plastic dashboard chips in the meat ?
I remember a while back a few years you were working on saws and mowers and skidoos? Now look at what your doing! Moving on up to bigger and better machines LOL!
Another great video Andrew! Man, when you went for the roller, you took me back to my old road and parking lot days working for an asphalt contractor. It was tough in the Northeast - sunup to sundown from April to November but I don't have a bad memory as the tanned skinny laborer that could put down a lot of food and never gain a pound. I drove a roller similar to this one, along with dozers and dumps but also swung pickaxes, sledges, pounded in pins, shoveled and excavated. Never did much equipment repairs but maintenance was part of the job. On the debacle with the skidder and roller hi-siding off the road - you're not the only one with the problem. When that happened to us we actually had to cut a road/pathway like an offramp in a gradual grade and towed out that way. Best to leave stoning like your environment for the summer.
Down goes Frazier! Pulling that roller up the mountain was the best. It had it all, smooth sailing, tipsy turvy, I’m balin’, camera casualties and of course great video work. Even a minor front end bender! Thanks!😅😊
We need to get you to 10million subs, this is way better than any Hollywood action movie, right from the start when you ghost unloaded it to the suicide trail climb. You Rock!
We went from nail biting tense cable pulls at the end to a temporary save resting place and then the beauty of the snow covered mountains. Well done Andrew!!
Note to self: Always bring stronger chains. Lots of stronger chains ---- especially when the job at hand is trying to get a very heavy machine up an icy, steep road. Funny thing about that tho --- Andrew always seemed to do ok by himself, but with a bunch of 'buddies' egging the job on when it was time to stop and reconnoiter, things seemed to go ----- downhill..... Anyways, always a great show!!!
Wow Drew an friends you al were not expecting the ice being a factor of the Trucks not being able to help the vibration crusher all the way up the mountain with out any mishaps you guys were very blessed to come out unscathed the skidded is a serious grown man but needed some stronger trees an chains that was another great idea to put skidded behind a tree but I didn’t see a tree strong enough to keep the skidder in place should have chained skidder to a tree at the push blade but later on in the next video I see the Lord placed that thought in your ideas of how to get it the vibrator back on the road way , we’re was the big dozer would have worked perfectly together on that recovery job anyway glad everyone is ok take care.
I love that he's teaching her all the tips and tricks of running and fixing equipment but also teaching the fact to always have fun and be safe while doing it
Ok! I think you killed the mowers already! I think Andrew is going buy a huge car crusher squishing machine and go into the metal recovery business! That mountaintop dirt road is beyond sketchy! But you guys are creative on solving the extraction/recovery process. You just need several, bigger, and stronger both trees and chains. I have full confidence you'll get it out without hurting anyone or any equipment.
I was glad to see you stop and admit it was time to leave it for another day, mainly because of the slippery conditions and that it was getting very sketchy like you said.. If I was there I would have suggested having your D7 dozer with the winch on there as well, even if you just used it as an anchor while you reset the cable on the skidder...
Whew, best and craziest video yet. Can't wait for the next one to see how Andrew and his team gets the roller out. I like Andrews comment, "At least its upright". But I will bet he is able to do it.
Andrew it was awesome to see the Castle garage home base again, in the video. Still looking forward to the garage addition build where your truck lift is.
No doubt the next video will reverse the situation with you winching away from the embankment but downhill 😊keep up the good work Andrew I'm a keen fan 😅
Since he only releases full projects no matter how long it takes, those stuff happens all the time, some videos takes so long his other dog was alive in some scenes.
Had me fooled. I didn,t realize you had it in gear as it was coming off the trailer. :) WOW. The end was more exciting than the beginning. CAMRATA, never disappoints. STAY SAFE.
Its been a while since I recovered tanks so I'm no expert but looking at your roller situation two things came to mind.. Not only were you winching up a steep embankment but you were also winching up a steep grade..
Always interesting to watch … a real cliff hanger at times had me at the edge of my seat … (no pun intended) That sinking feeling … I’m sure was felt by all … Just a personal observation but looks like you need a bull dozer now (or anything with great weight and tracks) to figure this all out or to be your anchor if nothing else for the logging winch … kind of the one - two punch required “maybe” … Great content Thank You
Any other TH-camr would put some crazy thumbnail and title on this vid to attract all the viewers. Andrew puts a modest pic and title on it and STILL brings in all the views!
Da, the roller is a biotch when it slides.. My dad worked for a construction company and they had it slide down the slope, but it was steeper than yours, also it was heading towards a cliff of 61 meters free fall. Then he arranged two loaded trucks, one up the road, one down and an ex to help. They succeeded and saved the situation. Rollers have little side grip, especially on the rocky and icey surface.. It's fun to crush stuff, but take care on what you do, since fun can fast change in serious troubles. I hope you save it in the next attempt. Cheers.😎
@@photodan24 Da,da, my friend, I saw that. I meant the roller part.. Let's be honest, steel on frozen rocks = next to nothing grip. The tires are slick, but those still grip some, anyway nothing really grips on frozen rocky terrain.. They are pushing a bit their luck..You know, when something tells you multiple times it's not working, then it's time to rethink the process. 😉 (and possibly abort the idea)
Greetings from New Zealand..... just a thought..... modern art.....I think there's a market for flat lawnmower wall hangings......step 1, flatten mower ....step 2 , secure any loose parts with a good glue......step 3, write a descriptive explanation of how you feel about this peice..... step 4, decide on a suitably eye watering price...... step 4, find the biggest flashest art gallery and hang it on their wall........ Good luck !!!......and go safe 😎
Hi Andrew. You need more than one big snatch-block. Hook one to the tree and one to the roller. then run the cable through the block attached to the tree, down to the one attached to the roller, then back up to the tree.
he had plenty of pulling power in the skidder, that wasnt the issue, issue was the trees, the chains, the snatch blocks werent holding, he needs bigger rigging as stuff snapping like it did could go pretty bad.. i would of handled the situation the same as he did, come back and fight that battle when the snow and ice are gone i think the easiest solution is going to be to take the skidder up hill from the roller and get it wedged uphill against a large tree so it cant roll down and so its not in the way when the roller gets back upto the road, he had it there at one point but the skidder was blocking the way for the roller to come up one snatch block rated at 25ton, and some 1/2" chain i think he'll get it back up there would be nice if there was a way to lock the articulation as well, would help prevent it from tipping over
2:32 "I guess I could be steering it" as the several ton vehicle slowly rolls off the back while hes holding a camera. That's just great! I needed a good laugh after a crappy day yesterday. Thank you for that :)
Andrew, I really glad you called it before something bad happened or someone might have gotten hurt, injured or worse, I've been in those situations myself on logging sites with hilly steep ground it's not fun like you said. As always God bless yah from Gaffney South Carolina viewer 🙏❤️💯
I thought I was the only one smart enough to have a flatbed for their rolloff truck. I haven't seen anyone around me with one. So glad everyone survived. I almost needed a new undergarment when the skidder started to go over the hill. I can't imagine how you felt. Understatement of the year...... "We're starting to think this isn't fun anymore."
This video brings back memories of when I first come across Andrew's channel all them years ago, when this is all him and his friends did was destroy different things.
Dear Cleughy 87 👍👌👏 Yeah, he alone respectively his typical behaviour is already more than dangerous enough. But together with all those clowns (I would really like to use much harsher descriptions for all of them) it became even worse. I simply cannot understand why they didn't use a bulldozer/crawler additionally. And of course it was totally indispensable to get the roller up on the hill on a steep, icy road in winter. Best regards, luck and health in particular.
That's exactly what you need for up at the camp! Nice and slow turn the vibration all the way up and just let everything settle right into every little crevice!
2:48 into the video and Andrew has already coined another classic one liner😂 I’m just gonna ghost ride it…. Followed up by… I guess I could be steering it🤷♂️
I recommend getting your big dog (largest excavator) to build a ramp which allows for a gradual pull up to the road at an angle. You can always return the road to its current form. Second step would be to create a block system to hold the roller when you need a stopping point and also to prevent a run away. To get your max pull strength, maybe anchor your excavator as needed and use the boom to pull it forward to its next rest stop…rinse and repeat until you’re out. I would seriously recommend the pull straps that Heavy D uses and save your chains for times that won’t snap them.
Andrew is like that old US Army ad for those old enough to remember, "We do more by 6 a.m. than most people do all day".On another note, I think its safe to say that thing will turn you into a real-life Flat Stanley if you get too close.
Admittedly one of the more creative ways I've seen Andrew remove undesirable trees
I was just thinking the same thing
Just a tip Andrew. Never vibrate the drum when the machine is stationary. It hammers the bearings in the vibrator housings on one area. I worked for Galion many years ago. All the best.
It absolutely does, it also hammers the operator to bits too when stationary.
Awesome video. You need the D7. The winch on that will pull that roller in half.
On concrete or hard Asphalt maybe but soft gravel won't hurt it.
@@steveandjenny149 just like every guy ive ever known xD
what about running over a lawn mower?
Andrews obsession with turning big rocks into small rocks has been an interesting journey. 😄
Big lawn mowers into smaller lawn mowers...parts
I could watch that rock crusher he has all day long.
he would have made a fine inmate in the old days. 😀
It's turned into my obsession.
someday Andrew is going to realize his youthful indiscretion and start turning small rocks into big rocks
"At least it's still right side up" - the consistently positive attitude in the face of adversity is always an inspiration!
#8 on trending? Been watching for a few years and it is crazy how well your channel has done Andrew
Always a must-watch moment whenever Andrew gets a new machine!
Yes but it's a good idea to stand back
All his lawnmowers start sweating
Never a dull moment with Andrew. Its not the first time the mountain fought back. Good luck.
Its hilarious as andrew saying atleast its still rightside up,yeah never a dull moment trying to take a 2wd roller up an iced-up mountain road,what possibly could go wrong right!😁
Everything that goes up there has to take a beating before it even starts a job lmao
@@e.s.4136 WOW......lol
I thought you supposed to have the D-7 pull everything up the hill .... might as well keep it down a the base of the hill...a least the does and nobody got hurt.... expect the lawn mowers
Awesome. Andrew is bringing “sketchy” back and violating engineered limits everywhere. Love the content.
Safety factors are for sippers. :-)
OSHA approved!
Come with me and you be in a world of OSHA violations. 😂
I'm sure many have mentioned it and not something overlooked by y'all, but standing behind that with that wire under tension seemed supremely dangerous. Glad you're ok, what an adventure! Best
hall thing was dangerous . sometimes i think he dont care he does this all time ,
WOW! Is there anything Andrew cannot do?😯
i appreciate that Andrew finds time for other projects amidst his busy schedule of replacing skid steer tracks
So glad that you have gone from fixing lawnmowers to flattening them. It shows just how far you have come. Even though I am a lawnmower mechanic, all I care about is that you are doing the things that you love to do. Thank you so much Andrew
That was some deep-seated hate against those mowers.
I saw some spare parts getting flattened BUT, whatever was left, must've been beyond salvageable.
I died a little when I saw an opposed twin Briggs in that green Murray, those motors are great. But who knows, I’m sure Andrew wouldn’t destroy a mower that isn’t junk.
It's easier to separate the steel, aluminum and plastic from each other if the mower has been run over by a roller a few times. Easy scrapping.
This video was freaking fantastic. From crushing mowers to several people almost dying multiple times. Awesome 😂
..yes!...definitely some @ss puckering there near the end....
Best comment! Near death is the ultimate in AC entertainment.
Just wait till he gets his helicopter
That was one of your craziest videos ever! Glad no one got hurt. I bet the cat bulldozer with the winch get it back on the road. I knew it would be a battle to get the roller to the top of the mountain! Good luck
Make sure to Anchor the bulldozer to a tree.
@@jamesazure5577 And anchor the tree to another tree and then to the other side of the mountain.
😂😂😂
dozers dont work on ice
That track change was impressive. Never seen it done almost 100 percent with machines
You should see it done properly by Dirt Boss . He was on the 973 building Andrews road a few episodes ago.

When you buy your grease by the barrel, you’re in deep.
Not as deep as that roller ended up. A real cliff-hanger!
Its cheaper to buy it by the drum,,tubes are the most expensive
Genius! Cheaper to buy a 30 pack instead of a 6 pack!
cliff-hanger ..oh the pun of it
@@mackfisher4487 from the looks of it, nobody there was having pun.
Excellent job not dying on this one. Keep up the good work 👍

I love this channel.
My thoughts exactly!
dude is on the spectrum..
I like the small detail of mentioning how much it costs, I was watching older videos and noticed you always mentioned it before. I think It gives a reference point for someone who might wanna do what you do
I live vicariously threw Andrews channel, and I am sure I am not alone. I am also self employed and I find so much inspiration from his work ethic and positive attitude! Thanks for everything Andrew, you deserve to be recognized bro!
Rolling tips from a professional roller operator.
1. Only use vibe going up hill. It you use vibe on a steep downhill you will start sliding and loose control.
2. Sweet spot for compaction is 12 strikes (vibes) per linear foot.
3. If you do loose control immediately turn the vibe off.
Also you got the roller so cheap because the drum is not driving like it's supposed to.
I do not think the drum was ever supposed to drive on this, I only see one set of hydraulic lines going to the front drum
4, when in a tight place, stick you tongue tip out just a bit
5, when rolling up to other workers, if they look at you and laugh, they are making fun of you. roll them over....
My girlfriend agrees.
I wonder if Andrew has used up all that blue grease from the drum he bought at the yard sale?
Words from experience, hope we all listened and learned. Thanks
One of the most exciting videos you have ever made Andrew!! I was holding my breath many times!
These videos are more interesting than a movie that costs 100 million to make
Andrew consistently provides some of the most interesting and entertaining 'content' not just on TH-cam but anywhere. I was holding my breath those last few minutes like I was watching Top Gun again.
God i love this guy. He buys a roller and immediately starts running over and flattening lawns mowers and stuff. Like a big kid at heart. Keep it up!!
I'm 56 years old and that is the first set of battery terminal spreader pliers I've ever seen ! That was worth the price of admission !

Am so glad none of you guys got hurt. Take care and stay safe.

makes for a satisfying picture Andrew.

Actually, that was the CLEANEST water i have ever seen coming from a... gearbox??? XD
Don't eat anything from there either, except oranges and bananas that you peal yourself.

Lets see what we learned today: Things that like to roll, often roll downhill direction. Beautiful mountains. Still avoiding injury/death happily.
and maybe fit tyre chains before towing a roller up an icy unmade road..
Awesome video Andrew, a new tool
You gonna have one of everything someday. I would LOVE to be doing it too...
Andrew is just Raw the real deal, just my cup of tea, ik like him and his effortless workflow!
You're the king of entertainment, Andrew! Keep up the great work. 👍👍from Canada.
Yikes that was sketchy even for AC. I am glad you decide to let the roller sit until the ice thaws. Mother nature was fighting back hard on this one.
Andrew now that's not what the roller is for but I Can see ur all kid at heart. Love watching ur videos.
Its been a while since I recovered tanks so I'm no expert but looking at your roller situation two things came to mind.. Not only were you winching up a steep embankment but you were also winching up a steep grade..
And I thought how exciting could a roller video be ? Knowing Andrew just watch and see. And Andrew delivered again 😄
I was looking forward to the brake job and then POW, "We got a runaway!"
Looks dangerous as hell. Looking forward to the next one!
Always interesting to watch … a real cliff hanger at times had me at the edge of my seat … (no pun intended)
That sinking feeling … I’m sure was felt by all …
Just a personal observation but looks like you need a bull dozer now (or anything with great weight and tracks) to figure this all out or to be your anchor if nothing else for the logging winch … kind of the one - two punch required “maybe” …
Great content

It's fun to crush stuff, but take care on what you do, since fun can fast change in serious troubles. I hope you save it in the next attempt. Cheers.😎
His roller has zero grip. Did you see how worn those tires were? Drag slicks have more tread.
@@photodan24 Da,da, my friend, I saw that. I meant the roller part.. Let's be honest, steel on frozen rocks = next to nothing grip. The tires are slick, but those still grip some, anyway nothing really grips on frozen rocky terrain.. They are pushing a bit their luck..You know, when something tells you multiple times it's not working, then it's time to rethink the process. 😉 (and possibly abort the idea)
I love the side by side up on the container. Basically everything I would be doing if I had access to this equipment.
Andrew, you teach us in a beautiful and special way how to solve complex things in a pleasant and humane way. Thank you

Greetings from New Zealand..... just a thought..... modern art.....I think there's a market for flat lawnmower wall hangings......step 1, flatten mower ....step 2 , secure any loose parts with a good glue......step 3, write a descriptive explanation of how you feel about this peice..... step 4, decide on a suitably eye watering price...... step 4, find the biggest flashest art gallery and hang it on their wall........ Good luck !!!......and go safe 😎
Awesome .... Cody and Blue know more about recovery than most companies.
Hi Andrew. You need more than one big snatch-block. Hook one to the tree and one to the roller. then run the cable through the block attached to the tree, down to the one attached to the roller, then back up to the tree.
More and bigger snatch blocks, and bigger trees to tie to!
he had plenty of pulling power in the skidder, that wasnt the issue, issue was the trees, the chains, the snatch blocks werent holding, he needs bigger rigging as stuff snapping like it did could go pretty bad.. i would of handled the situation the same as he did, come back and fight that battle when the snow and ice are gone
i think the easiest solution is going to be to take the skidder up hill from the roller and get it wedged uphill against a large tree so it cant roll down and so its not in the way when the roller gets back upto the road, he had it there at one point but the skidder was blocking the way for the roller to come up
one snatch block rated at 25ton, and some 1/2" chain i think he'll get it back up there
would be nice if there was a way to lock the articulation as well, would help prevent it from tipping over
2:32 "I guess I could be steering it" as the several ton vehicle slowly rolls off the back while hes holding a camera. That's just great! I needed a good laugh after a crappy day yesterday. Thank you for that :)
Never a dull moment on the mountain
Andrew, I really glad you called it before something bad happened or someone might have gotten hurt, injured or worse, I've been in those situations myself on logging sites with hilly steep ground it's not fun like you said. As always God bless yah from Gaffney South Carolina viewer 🙏❤️💯
Andrew you are the best and separate from the rest. You're one of a kind so always keep that in mind.
I thought I was the only one smart enough to have a flatbed for their rolloff truck. I haven't seen anyone around me with one. So glad everyone survived. I almost needed a new undergarment when the skidder started to go over the hill. I can't imagine how you felt.
Understatement of the year...... "We're starting to think this isn't fun anymore."
This video brings back memories of when I first come across Andrew's channel all them years ago, when this is all him and his friends did was destroy different things.
Dear Cleughy 87
👍👌👏 Yeah, he alone respectively his typical behaviour is already more than dangerous enough. But together with all those clowns (I would really like to use much harsher descriptions for all of them) it became even worse. I simply cannot understand why they didn't use a bulldozer/crawler additionally. And of course it was totally indispensable to get the roller up on the hill on a steep, icy road in winter.
Best regards, luck and health in particular.
Not much has changed since then.
I always liked his stuff but I became a true fan when he used the chainsaw to install the radio in his Dodge pickup. 🥸👍✅
That was one of your best videos and very entertaining to say the least. Can’t wait for part-2
That's exactly what you need for up at the camp! Nice and slow turn the vibration all the way up and just let everything settle right into every little crevice!
This was that best video yet, but please be careful brother ! We don’t want anything happening to you!
2:48 into the video and Andrew has already coined another classic one liner😂 I’m just gonna ghost ride it…. Followed up by… I guess I could be steering it🤷♂️
This is sketchy!! LOL 😆
JUST GONNA SEND IT
I think all the push mower needs is a carburetor kit! 💪👍🏼
Probably.
You guys getting that roller up the mountain is by far the best content I've ever seen anywhere!! love it! Andrew you're the best dude!
Not to mention the crushing of the Briggs and Stanton
This may have been the first Andrew Camarata video where I was seriously nervous. Need the D8 with the wench. Always appreciated!
Never a dull moment when Andrew comes on
I recommend getting your big dog (largest excavator) to build a ramp which allows for a gradual pull up to the road at an angle. You can always return the road to its current form.
Second step would be to create a block system to hold the roller when you need a stopping point and also to prevent a run away.
To get your max pull strength, maybe anchor your excavator as needed and use the boom to pull it forward to its next rest stop…rinse and repeat until you’re out.
I would seriously recommend the pull straps that Heavy D uses and save your chains for times that won’t snap them.
It seems like the Skidder is the most useful wrecker of choice . Always a pleasure . Andrew has the tenacity unlike any normal human being .
Andrew is like that old US Army ad for those old enough to remember, "We do more by 6 a.m. than most people do all day".On another note, I think its safe to say that thing will turn you into a real-life Flat Stanley if you get too close.
haha, Flat Stanley!! I remember that book from the library.
then there's the Batman and roller joke.. Flatman and Ribbon.
Total wild man, so much fun to watch. All your videos seem to fly by like all good things in life.
That ending was very entertaining. Frustrating for you I’m sure but thanks for giving us enjoyment.
