I just got hired on at a job that is paying for CDL training so I can drive a dump truck and they are training me to be a heavy equipment operator as well. I decided on this new career path after watching Andrew's videos. Inspiring to watch the awesome work he does.
AC is the best. Never tries to sell anything, never begs for likes and subscribers, content is always well edited and of great quality. Not to mention great work ethic and that ”Can do, no problem”-attitude. And of course Levi.
Thanks for top comment guys! Also one thing I wish I would of done is start with Andrew's OLDEST videos first because you get to see all the upgrades he has done to all properties he maintains and owns. The man does amazing job and it's pretty cool to see everything evolve more and more each video
Well worth having that extra screen, looks like it does a good job too. Thanks for showing us this one...I am sure some folks will find it very useful especially this in the landscaping business.👍
You know it’s going to be a great day when you get an AC notification, thank you again Andrew! Stay safe and stay awesome 😎/ this machine reminds me of Pac-Man lol 😂 / I’m ready, let’s go do something else! Levi looks great today! I love your channel Andrew!!!

I did notice you wore hearing protection. In my working life and in Vietnam, I hardly used hearing protection. Now at 70 years old my hearing is shot. Should have taken better care of it, just didn't. I wear hearing aids, from the VA hospital. They really help, but nothing like what I originally had. Protection is the key hear. Enjoy you videos and the dog. Dog seems like a loyal friend, and stays near by. Keep M coming, a greatful viewer.

I guess it depends on how you look at it and maybe your material environment. Around where I'm at, there isn't a lot of big rocks, so it would work pretty fast.
@ yellowbkpk During my first viewing with video set at full screen and normal speed, I noticed the 3rd turnbuckle loose & flailing between 11:09 & 11:10. Didn't think much of it; caca happens. Due to your comment, returned to 11:09 with speed set at 0.25, full screen and watched again. Sure enough, loose turnbuckle at 11:09 - 11:10 and, at 11:12, detached cotter pin in the pile at a distance of
Rocks don’t usually fall out at the right RPM. We designed the FlipScreen to work in extreme conditions while being as simple to operate and maintain as possible with few moving parts, especially at the bucket opening where there will be a lot of stress.
I was screening top soil through a grizzly today, crude but effective. The cost of the Flip Screen is prohibitive, $16,500.00 you have to screen mountains of material to break even. Paul
paul bender luckily, the FlipScreen can screen mountains of material in just a few hours. That S45 will do about 82 cubic yards per hour with a 2” mesh. The biggest loader model in regular production will do over 1,358 cubic yards per hour.
We are having fun with you, Andrew (haha). It does look like it would be fun. It was really great to see another video in such a short time. That's what a person like you does when they are as smart as you are. You keep your fan base well entertained. Thank You so much for that.
Nice looking materials now. Sure like the screener attachment ‼️ I’ve worked several crushers and screen plants over the years. Nice to see something that can get you enough material for personal “plus” applications 👍🏻👍🏻
Incredibly entertaining much better than anything on television. I watch everything every night in bed. Some very cool equipment Andrew has and does a Stellar job every time.
4 or 5 retired guys working that flip screen, I think you could make some money. Just the gem of an idea. 1 straw boss with 3 - 4 hour shifts a day maybe. What do you guy's think? Really doesn't need to be said, another great Andrew Camarata video. Thanks AC. PS 4 minutes and 206 views. 317K subscribers. When does he hit 400K?
Nah, this is more for when you need something quick on site. Quarries can do this for much cheaper because they do it at a stupid huge scale with a tiny amount of labor cost. But you have to haul it so if it's less than a truck load then it may make sense to screen your own gravel. If you need yards and yards and yards then you're coming out ahead just buying from a quarry.
Andrew, That was actually interesting. I’m sure it was monotonous for you though. Those will work great on your job sites. Thanks for recording, editing and posting!!
The incredible thoughts coursing through that Andrew's active mind while this work unfolds and that is probably nothing to the mathematical formulas Levi chews on while he secures the work place.
@@ConstructionMachinesChannel yup, I think it's worse than smoking in my opinion. It tends to suck when you're carrying material and all that dust is flying right at ya like when operating a backhoe or front end loader etc it's not something you notice right away but it does affect you later on in life. My father operated a backhoe for many years and when they did an x-ray on his lungs, they looked like someone who's smoked a lot of cigarettes they were all black I'm guessing from all the dust in the air on construction sites
@@johndowe7003 Did you see the video where he moves the bus and other dump bodies off the property, then burns the scrap brush and moves it around to speed up the burning? Take a look at the amount of soot and dirt on his body at 1.16.16 on this video. That's from 8 hours of burning. Imagine 30 years worth? ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-TpLNrAyNv2w.html
@@johndowe7003 I'm a retired radiographer, and I have x-rayed tens of thousands of lungs in my time, and your fathers' condition is called silicosis or "stone-lung". Bakers get a similar condition from flour dust, and farmers the same from the dust that comes from harvesting grain.
Loving every minute of your videos Andrew. Would love to see you do a live Q&A. Also would love even more to see a line up of all your machinery. To be fair I've just watched you separate big rocks and small rocks and still loved it. Keep em coming Andrew. All the best.
I don't know why, but watching rocks get screened is pretty entertaining. That machine looks like it works just like it should. I see the odd big rock bouncing out, but nothing's perfect. For those of us that have no clue, it would be interesting to know how much these materials sell for / economics behind all this work. Keep it up, thanks for sharing.
Seems tedious, but you knocked it out no problem. Good stuff and awesome video! I think I probably would have just used it as fill and bought some rocks though
@@jasonjones6328 he shows what he is doing ''hanging out'' -computers -jetski,s -snowmobiles -quads -getting out and about in nature with his (girlfriend of that time) and dogs visiting nice and/or abandoned places. -he has hot-tub and a trampoline.. -always tinkering and adding to his stuff he actually uses.. wich is a hobby all in itself. i think that pretty much sums it up next to his hard and dedicated work. he is living the good life ,without hurting other people. maybe that is why i like this channel so much. he makes a rich nice life out of hard dedicated work, instead of mooching,stealing ,lobbying or do any other criminal stuff.
I find this so satisfying. Perhaps it's the primal OCD in me or just the pleasure of taking something that's worthless, or unusable, and converting it into useful, valuable material. Like the separators at a recylcling plant. A loader dumps in a mix of everything and at the other end is five conveyors with it all in neat piles.
The big TV channels can only do 1 show a week for 6 weeks doing DIY, Andrew Camarata does 6 shows a week for 12 months a year. And we thank you Mr. Andrew Camarata. Better than DIY any day.
The great thing about Andrew , and it's something you don't always notice ..he is never lazy with changing camera positions. He is always giving you different angles. And that is a big pain in the butt for him to keep changing it ..but he does it for the sake of a good video.
Looks like the big rocks beat up that 3 inch screen, you might want to put a weld at each of the joints so the fabric doesn't pull apart from big rocks bashing it.
Andrew, you remind me of my son in law - he can do almost anything he sets his mind to - like you - and a hard worker - keep it up man, will keep watching every chance I get.
So I checked how many subs A.C had when I watched this video. I just come straight back and his subs had increased by another 33 in that 18 minutes. Cool 😎
Thank you for all the recent videos Andrew! Again great subject matter, excellent camera placement, awesome editing, music and of course Levi and the drone shots. I believe your buds place is south of you, and I believe I saw that valley/Clove where that scary seasonal road comes down from Elka Park? White knuckle ride for me!
The FlipScreen doesn’t usually lose material once the operator gets a feel for how the material moves inside the bucket. Some people need more practice than others, but Andrew was pretty much an expert the first time he operated the FlipScreen. You can see he finds his groove after the first few cycles and doesn’t lose much after that.
The only time I know of a bucket getting damaged is when one of our Army contractor customers who use their FlipScreen to detonate UXO (antipersonnel mines) found an antitank mine that blew a whole in it. The mechanical components were not affected, so we just replaced the bucket and they got back to work.
Such a cool tool. All my dad had when I was working for him running his Bobcat Skid Loader was a bucket and backhoe attachment. I would have loved this type of thing.
Andrew please allow a small piece of medical advice, from my experience. At 2:17 you try pushing in that thing, by using your foot. Believe me, this is the worst thing you can do for and with your foot, and it may cause severe physical damage after a few years. I've seen you doing it (rarely) in some other videos as well.... Some advice from an old guy, however a big fan... Regards Ralph from Belgium
I think a slightly lower speed on the rotation would allow to not have unscreened rocks falling in the pile. they are ejected while on the bucket and not in the screener yet,they don't have enough time.
Patrick Bates we have over 30 different models to fit almost any operation and most of our customers pay their FlipScreens off in a few months. Some examples of profitability: I have a customer who gets $75 per ton for his river rock With an S45, he can make $147,600 worth of saleable product in a 12-hour day with a 2” mesh. With an E30, he can make $64,800 worth of saleable product in a 12-hour day with a 2” mesh With a BL65, he can make $194,400 worth of saleable product in a 12-hour day with a 2” mesh With a WL130, he can make $423,000 worth of saleable product in a 12-hour day with a 2” mesh I have another customer who gets $25 per cubic yard for his topsoil With an S45, he can make $21,300 worth of saleable product in a 12-hour day with a 1” mesh With an E30, he can make $7,500 worth of saleable product in a 12-hour day with a 1” mesh With a BL65, he can make $28,200 worth of saleable product in a 12-hour day with a 1” mesh With a WL130, he can make $61,200 worth of saleable product in a 12-hour day with a 1” mesh
That Flip Screen is a very useful attachment for someone wanting to improve their land or for a small/medium scale landscape bus. Pit run material is cheap and screening it or your own material would be a cheaper alternative to buying screened material.
I would say yes it is worth it. Why buy stuff you already have on your property. Instead of buying topsoil , fill or gravel use the money to buy a tool -attachment. Not just Thinking about the job you're doing now but also the jobs you might have down the road. That's how to save $$$. Not to mention the satisfaction of doing it yourself!!!
Great video Andrew I really like the Flip Screen I think it’s really Inventive idea on ways to screen material at the same time it seems like triple the work and on top of it it’s an expensive piece of equipment. When they sell this equipment they should include a respirator and goggles to protect from the dangers of dust inhalation and I irritation from all the dust that it causes. I bet you’re really wish you had an enclosed cab LOL that could really make the difference of having a good day versus a bad day it’s time to upgrade to a new machine that has an enclosed cab and air-conditioning LOL It’s great to see Levi enjoy his supervisor position and making sure the job is done right lol 😂
Looks like the RPM of the screening attachment was slightly too slow, allowing material to drop out the screen and straight out the opening when you started each screening run.
Really, has anyone out there ever seen such a young man who is so creative, intelligent, intuitive, wondrous work ethic, and just plain extremely interesting to watch??
HI Andrew , the trick is to fill come to the dump site and flip half a turn when the stones fall keep shaking it do not flip it full circles or the rocks will just fall out through the filling gap. since its only stones they roll a lot , when you are doing smaller screen it works perfect in full circles ... cheers
Very handy tool to have especially for small to medium jobs. Add in a rock crusher and you've got a complete solution to making road base gravel, topsoil and medium sized rocks for landscaping.
The FlipScreen is designed to operate with the bucket 1/3 full to allow the material to flip and fall inside the bucket, which helps to separate material and increase production.
I was wondering if the fill lip jutted out more as screen seems to be in the way when driving into pile. But then it might be in the way when it's revolving and screening ?
Been thinking of sorting out some screening solution, but man, that just seems like it would take an awful lot of time and Diesel to get any good amount of material.
Seems pretty efficient to me. I mean, you have to get the material on the screen anyways and with this thing you rotate a bit and you got your pile. You can even screen it directly in a truck. Any kind of that work takes time but for what it does, I think it does it pretty good. And it seems to bring better results than what ever they used before.
you folks seem to be forgetting one very important detail.... He said the initial pile when he started was "tailings", so LOTS of valuable topsoil has already been taken out of the end results that we see here. So, this demonstration isn't a true representation of how much topsoil would be produced from a random/regular scoop of dirt somewhere else on the property.
@@PatrickWagz I doubt they got rich from the topsoil. If you don't plan on making much more then 50 or 100 yards it might do ok. But I heard it cost 17K. I woild like to see it run 1/4 or 1/2 inch material.
