After all these years Andrew is still delivering excellent content. When I started watching, his videos didn't have any ads; wasn't monetized, even though he had the subscriber numbers to be paid. He said he gets offers to sponsor all the time. Doesn't appear to take up many of those offers. All the better for his regular viewers. This is what he cares about, delivering the goods. Breakdowns are seen as an opportunity to provide some interesting content. The acquisition of new equipment, another opportunity to provide you and me interesting content. Some time ago, people complained a bit about the sound track over the video. Folks wanted to hear the sounds of the heavy machinery. Andrew came on and said he would cut out the sound track when the equipment was making good sounds. That's why there's not always a soundtrack, except for like when it's a timelapse. He goes that extra mile all the time to give to the viewer something worth their time to watch. One of my favorites was when he bought some crazy huge machine and it broke down. He was saying he was going to try to fix it. All the "experts" sounded off, saying he could not fix that because it's complicated and he doesn't have the specialized tools required, and he better call Caterpillar to send techs out to fix it. He fixed it.
I know this is kinda weird but the biggest takeaway I ever get with your videos Andrew is just to keep on truckin. You don’t make a big deal about things breaking or going wrong. It’s almost as if you expect it. I admire your ability to keep cool when life throws you a curveball. Keep it up!
Hey Andrew I excited to get two videos in the same week I got my cup of coffee I watch all your videos I really enjoyed and look forward for your videos work safe 😊
Yup, just like on farms and large construction sites that have trailerable fuel tenders. At the least they have elevated fuel tanks on site, but to have that mobile ability really helps the efficiency and the process. Plus in upset New York if you're not driving on the roadways you buy the home heating diesel which is for cheaper for all your equipment which doesn't have the taxes of the diesel for the highways. Same fuel different colors different uses and different taxes.
The fuel truck came from my buddy's dad's place here in Torrington CT. Marola Motors, an International dealership. It's now a Freight liner or something.. Actually, the name was on the mud flap... maybe they purchased the flaps there.. Ha Ha
Now you just need another conveyor belt and you can have the oversized gravel feed the crusher, and the crusher out gets taken back to the sorter hopper. Then you automatically reduce your oversized gravel into the lower sizes.
This is what I enjoy about his videos, get to the point, no bull, no sponsor ads, just doing his thing. Most RU-vidr's out there say, make sure to press the thumbs up button it helps the channel and while you're at it pick up one of our shirts or hats that helps too. If you have good interesting content, the channel will do well.
I still see the little boy and his sister riding the 3 wheeler Yamaha. My gosh I’ve watched him grow up and the funny thing is I’ve never met him and doubt I ever will. We have emailed a few times and shared some tough times when our Labs passed weeks from each other but I feel he’s like family.
Two Andrew videos this week. Just like Christmas. I like the closing conversation -" I rented this and like it. I think I may buy it but have to watch what I spend (???)" And, then he drops, I bought a excavator this week. You're my hero.
By the sounds of his verdict on the gravel sizes and amounts he needs another crusher too, something sized between what he already has and that little thing from the last video by the looks?
Andrew, I used to deliver heating oil, When you roll the hose up hold it with a dirty rag and it will slide like butter through your hands. It also cleans the heavy crap off the hose. Awesome video, once again!
Stuck in the city but living through your outdoor adventures! Your doing exactly what I wish I could do if family life wasn’t an issue. Enjoy every minute of your simple yet entertaining videos. Keep it up!
Andrew you never cease to amaze me. You're just a one-man construction crew. And you always buy the right equipment. Keep up the good work love the videos.
Gotta watch how much money I spend, I bought an excavator today too lol. Only from AC. I found this man looking for a design program. He was designing the castle house at that time. I believe it was jus 2 containers with a parapet around the top when I was first watched. Keep it up good sir.
I worked heavy equipment 42 year and have been following you for a time noticed some dislikes towards you I LOVE YOUR STILE CAUSE YOU ARE YOURE THE BOSS FROM VIRGINA YOU GO ROCK ON
@gramof5396, I know why you enjoy watching Andrew's videos, we men are enjoying watching too. Your just fine being an old woman. I'm an old man and to love the excitement. Andrew, like others, has said it all. He just keeps on ticking no matter the problem. It's good your enjoying the camaraderie we all experience. Have a good day. 👍 ❤️🫠
I am also an old lady of 72 years. I always enjoy Andrew's videos, and I've been watching every one of them for years. I always watch his first, no matter what other notifications I get. I also watch Jesse Muller and Diesel Creek. I don't know what I'd do if they all released new videos at the same time!!! LOL Have a great day!!
@KarenL-qt7dy I know how you feel .I'm 78 and feel my days are getting to be numbered, just diagnosed with polymyalgia rheumatica and having trouble holding a remote for tv. So in any of Andrew's videos it gives me the chance to watch him and others show the world what they are made of. A mind of technology. A far cry from 57 chev. 50-60s was a learning curve, wouldn't you say. Wow, to be young again. Do you remember the days of am radio, do you remember the highlights of reverbs for your radio where it gave you a twang in the sounds before fm came along. Everyone had to have it to listen to. Then, fm stereo came along. To much to handle. Look at today. Nothing is impossible. Shoot for the moon or Mars. Or for us oldtimers a hand held cell phone with internet. Yes it's a great thing. Oh yea I bet Andrew wished Sam was there to help, never seen a woman want to help as much as she did, I can't understand the nose ring, though .
With bigger crusher and feeder you can place a hopper at the end of the over size pile and circulate it back to the crusher or place crusher at end of over size conveyor then looping back around to come to the screen again which is what we did . feeder hopper chain into first crusher into first screen deck then oversize went to second crusher, then through second screen deck
Looked like first feed belt into screener cold be slowed down a bit a looked like a lot of small stuff was skating over the screen on top of the big stuff. Your idea to crush and loop back to screener is perfect to get the high yield of the middle size product he wants. Well done.
@@rsmith3062he could run a recycle conveyor back to his current crusher, it would eventually break it down into small enough Stone, and not have to buy another expensive crusher.
I was thinking he could run the whole stock pile through his crusher again first, but adjust it to crush the the rock smaller if it can, feeding it into the screener for a bigger yield of the smaller gravel. this would also provide a more steady, consistent feed for the screener to keep up with,
As a suggestion, the wings on the wings on the conveyor that are removed before folding the arms could be painted bright red to signal that if folding the arms in these parts must be removed. Also, I would push down any tree that is within 5 feet of the driveway. This would give you room for any large piece of equipment from being damaged when moving them. Just an observation from the peanut gallery.😁
My dear friend, I’ve watched you for the last couple years. I admire your hard work and dedication watching your progress now you’re in the money buddy with this machine.
Thank you Andrew for thisgood video , you are awsome, No once a week videos. No asking to subscribe. No shouting and whooping. No loud generic music. Just proper content. Love it!
@@nickcody7257 Damn, I didn't even notice that! I believe that was his newest (both in production and purchase date) excavator too. Hate that it happened, but can't wait for the video about it.
@@cdinflorida9040 I don't think that's coming. He has mentioned the truck in a previous video, but it's been a while. I think he's had it for at least 2 years, maybe even longer. Somebody with a better memory than I can probably tell you which video it was where Andrew showed it off a bit, but I'm 99% sure he's never done a full video on it.
Just imagine being the Rep who was supposed to come show “some RU-vidr” how to operate a massive machine… and you show up to Andrew Camarata’s place with your machine already set up and running at maximum capacity. What a story for the pub lol
I was thinking the exact same thing- punch line- so eqsy, a You Tuber could do it! lol now, if he moves that other crusher to the end with the big stones, he could have a perpetual crush/screen operation going!
They are simple to unfold and get set up, as he showed. When u renting or demo something that's over a $100k u are a proper business who had to give insurance info
That Colt 800 is a beast - and kudos to you for figuring out how to set it up yourself. (As usual). Love your Cody and Blue - their good nature and loyalty to you is beyond wonderful!
Really nice options opening up for you - With the small crusher and this screener coupled to your blasting, you have what is essentially a limitless supply of material in various sizes - No waiting for orders to get filled, or deliveries, etc... Congrats!
I think those removable belt guards should be painted BRIGHT YELLOW! Just so a guy doesn't forget to remove em like you said. Impressive job getting that thing figured out too! 👍👍
Love your site and look often for new videos. Over the years I have designed and built multiple attachments made repairs overhauled many pieces of equipment. I’m sure I would have enough content to support a TUUBE channel but no video content. I am 74 plus years old and it is a little to late to start now. Watching your channel keeps me going so keep up the good work. A old watching and dreaming.
@themekfrommaras, did you notice when he ran back to get his side by side that road he plowed ready for rock. I believe that was the grouchs part of road. We're stone wall runs right beside road. So, I believe he is trying to show people that he has good, in improving conditions.
The 3-way screener will be an investment as well as a strong rock crusher. He has his own quarry. It was just a question of time. He‘ll then be able to sell his own gravel. Keep going and greets from Germany
@@proehm I wonder with all his own projects if he will have any leftover rock to sell... I guess he may need quite the amount of aggregate for the concrete when he builds the second castle. Next time he will show us the used concrete plant he just bought for a good price... just kidding. On the other hand with Andrew you never know.
So you saying he could be a... Rock star??... Lot of running back and forth between vehicles... Where's that electric bike? Have a rack or hook on most vehicles.. To Stash the bike in between trips??? Or break out that minibike again😂😂
@@proehm In one of his other videos where his Karen neighbor was calling the city on him, he said if you move a certain tonnage off property or onto property you need permits and city approval for it. He'd more than likely need licensing to start selling it.
Hey, buddy, we love all your videos. Keep doing it. 2 and 1 week. Wow, that's wonderful. Keep it up. One of your best followers, the white tiger from West Covina, California. God bless.
Wonder if you put your crusher up against it at the oversize conveyer and run it though the crusher one more time setting the crush a bit smaller you’d definitely get the material you were looking for
Have watched you for a long time and you are one of the best things on RU-vid. Keep up the great work you are doing. Maybe one day you can write a book about your great adventure.
The chunky pile looks like it could use going through again. Another top video, Cheers Andrew. Might have to start calling you Dr. because your videos are one of my top 5 mindfulness chill out therapy tools :)
Me too, too Old to get up and go, help me I've fallen and can't get up.Ha Ha. I watched him scramble up that side of gravel pit, and I would have just been clawing at the side trying.
Man, I love your videos, I love your technique, I love your dogs, I love how you care about your business, how you spend your money! Keep going mate, greetings from Belarus !🇧🇾 😊
For sure. It’s feeding too fast so it’s flooding the screen decks. That’s why there’s so much undersize in all three of the product piles. Need to slow the feed rate so the screen decks have enough time to do their job.
Thanks Andrew. This one looks much more appropriate for your work! the other one was cute i could use that for a few homes around here.. Im out in cali, and we have some shale up in the hills too.
Thanks Andrew for sharing the upgrade on the crusher/separator. Look forward to seeing how you implement this into your company. Be safe. Blessings to you and family. Praying for your health, strength and success in His Holy Name. ☝🙏🙌💪👊
I missed that, went back and looked, not a good look, thanks for the time reference. Probably has something to do with his comment about purchasing a new excavator.
every once in a while im coming back tothis channel to watch some videos and this is greate , i love it , good content , no asking to subscribe no screaming and shouting , just chill stuff and a 3 way screener , love it . and 2 cute dogs
Have been loving your videos for years Andrew. Never know what to expect. Feels like watching a long journey towards something unknown, I have no idea where it will end up. At the end of today's vid I an half expecting that you may soon drag a concrete plant up and start making your own concrete like the DOT does when extending a highway or something. Keep it up.
Just what I thought when the stuff going into the first mini was too big. Need a chain of screeners/crushers. Always learn something new when watching this channel.
@@joshenrya couple conveyors to have the crusher feeding the screener, and one recycle conveyor back to the crusher for the oversize. Then you get a steady feed for your screener which is more desirable as well
I literally have no idea how much time goes into these videos, but you need to pick up the pace lol. So much new stuff. New fuel truck, unfortunately the Hyundai excavator went on fire (the newest machine, crazy), new SUV, and already a new excavator. I cant wait for all the great new videos. You should try to put the big stones that came out of the screener through the crusher again. Or maybe you can adjust the jaws on the crusher.
Regarding the starting, letsdig18 had the same issue with a version used for stacking a taller pile. It was just the way the machine was designed. Not a fault on his. Had to wait even longer than yours. Something to do with booting up the software.
Andrew THANK YOU! You inspire me. I just bought an old bobcat 331 excavator to use at my land project up here in NH. IF i never found your videos I might have just been a keyboard warrior for the rest of my life... Hard HARD work you are doing... People think making videos is easy. ITS NOT. Especially Camarata Quality.
