The way Andrew beats the crap out of everything he owns is extremely entertaining to watch. Even jumper cables get thrown and smashed around. I suppose you find the true quality products with this approach.
he is actually not that hard on his equipment compared to allot of people i know..he just uses things average...this just goes to show nothing made in china lasts appreciate the quality of stuff made here in the USA
I am surprised with his electrical engineering prowess that he has not convert it to some kind of trickle charging with a small solar array on the machines
Andrew, just a thought with that screener, don’t do a full rotation immediately. Do like a half rotation and do it back and forth just a little bit until enough dirt comes out that you can then do full rotations. I think you can avoid having to dump out the first Extra amount by rocking it back-and-forth initially to get some of the dirt out. Hopefully that makes sense.
I predict within a week, he's going to have a much bigger screen - one of those ones the size of a semi trailer with a huge screen drum on it. You'd be there for months screening that pile one little scoop at a time. This thing seems like a toy and kind of a waste of time
@@gorak9000that's what I was thinking as well.. For small jobs maybe but definitely has a learning curve just spinning it seams like it's missing something large rocks still fall out
Andrew, have you looked into renting / buying a screening plant? They process LOADS of material into 2, 3, or 4 different grades, and there would be less unwanted material in each pile. I noticed that your screening bucket tends to spill lots of larger rocks on the first spin. With your literal mountain of crushed stone, it might be worthwhile to use a machine that's designed for quantity.
yeah, that bucket seems like a waste of time toy compared to what he needs. I'm surprised he doesn't just know someone that has one of those huge screens - you'd expect the guy he borrowed or rented the crusher from would have a screen too - they pretty much go together.
Couple the Jaw crusher to a Terex Pegson 4242SR Impactor. Can screen out the fines, produces whatever blend you want, or turn the recirculation conveyor out, produce 3/4 blend, fines, and clean 2-3"+ depending what you have the hammer bar clearance set at. Used to run a HA400S that fed a 4242SR to a 75 ft radial stacker. Could produce tons of material daily with minimal clean up.
@@charleselliott8522 The issue would be cost. Impactors need a lot of maintenance, and expensive maintenance, when they are not run in an optimal way. I think if he just rented a tracked screen plant, he would be miles ahead. He could re run his oversize through the jaw after closing it down and save a ton of money.
@@PCMenten His current crusher only has a vibrating grizzly feeder. You could direct the fines that fall through the grizzly fingers away from the main belt if you wanted, but with only grizzly fingers, you'd never get consistent material sizing. They are only meant to remove a bunch of the fines to save wear and improve throughput at the jaw.
Two things came to mind watching this one. 1) Andrew has come a long way in may facets of life from when I started following him years back when the first vid i saw was him salvaging a sunken jet ski and restoring it. 2) Seeing Lacey just makes me think of Levi and his Lab inspections but Blue and Cody's wonderings bring a chuckle and grin to my face.
"You know, I don't think I can put that in there..." - words I never thought I'd hear from Andrew. Another great video. Only wish it was longer. Alternatively, multiple, shorter videos each week work for me. Early Christmas...
with your quarry, you could make a set off vibrating grizzly screens and slides or belts to grade your mound of gravel. then use the bucket for the last level. you could even have the first screen feed the crusher for oversized chunks.
If I remember righty, some years ago, Andrew went through the process of testing the best method of screening. I remember a big vibrating screen on a slope that was fed with an excavator.
That screening bucket looks very expensive, very heavy and quite inefficient. Why do so many big chunks fall out on the first rotation? That seems wrong. Of course, beside that I loved the video and appreciate the effort you make to share your exciting life with us, as always. Cheers from Germany.
43:00 After loading, do the first rotation above where you got the rocks/material. This allows the large pieces to fall out then move the screener above where you want the screened material. Hopefully resulting in far fewer large pieces in the final material. 2:40 Idle up the engine so the alternator can push out more magic pixies :D Usually at tick-over it barely charges. Lacy is looking old now 😔 last 7 years have flown by!
Seems to work alright , but I am scared what it cost versus how many yards per hour it can reasonably process . Seems better suited for screening sand or loam soil with a few rocks . Clay is always a PIA to screen . Bet Andrew could have built a simple grizzly screen for a lot less , with scrap steel , and screen the fines out the bigger rocks as fast as he could sling it with the big bucket . And he wouldn't have to use super heavy gauge steel , as long as he isn't throwing boulders on it , lol .
Congratulations Andrew I think once you get another screen you will be very pleased with the adaptability so sorry to see blue getting into trouble with that porcupine and I hope they were able to anesthetize him but maybe he didn't have too many quills to do so, I really couldn't tell. Until next time may you all be abundantly blessed with all that's good
The trouble is, is that once the dog gets quilled and they are removed, the dog gets angry at the next porcupine. The dog than attacks the porcupine and gets quilled again. The cycle can repeat itself many times. Some dogs never learn!
you need to mount a trickle charge solar panel on each vehicle so your batteries always keep a charge. $12 / battery is good insurance. just stick the panel on the roof, or wall and hard wire them.
As an added bonus if you ever encounter any land mines on your property the flip screen can be used to clear them: FlipScreens are being used worldwide to clear landmines and unexploded ordnance (UXO). With a 100% demining rate.
That thing couldn't have been cheap, besides the fact it just isn't very efficient or fast and dumps rocks anyway too often on the first few spins. Just seems like a regular shaker deck would still be far more efficient. Of course who would know that until you tried it? Good for small jobs I suppose but I can't imagine sitting there for hours spinning that thing and still picking rocks out. Great vid Andrew.
It seemed pretty useless to me. He should buy a continuasion to his rockcrusher if he wants to do a lot of this. A centrifugal type would be nice. He could start to sell rocks if he want to then but I don't think he want to and money isn't a problem these days.
Go back and watch his videos, he already has a Shaker Deck! God Bless Sponsors of the Channel. You do know Andrew doesn't like to spend any money on machines unless their fixer uppers. With the exception of Recreational vehicles, which he quickly breaks and modifys!
Nuther great video, thanks Andrew. For the kind of quantity the screener would have to be a lot larger. Interesting start though. Gonna take a while to fill that truck up. Very useful though, for supplying others too ! I enjoyed the short trip to the line maker, if thats what he's called. Thats a technology all of its own, because there are so many different variations on type and use. Not cheap, but esential. Always interesting, you brighten my day :)
@5:04 You can do 2 things for one of those crap chargers...the one that works for me is to hook up the battery and put a 9v battery in parallel with the charger/battery while it's on. That usually kicks the charging circuit in to gear. I just use a Noco jump pack now.
i like idea of a big shaker/screen deck and grader better - more capacity and output - this could be good for tweener jobs - you should fab up a screen deck you can put on a low boy - copy the best designs you see into a frankenstein machine - probably would be a money maker - buying one is an option but they want too much money for what is basically very simple setup - you can do better with enough planning/drafting
Dude, you have inspired me the last 6 months to get back out into the garage and fix everything Ive been putting off for years now.. Thank you for being you Andrew.
This thing looks pretty neat, and I love how easy it is to swap screens on it, but it doesn't seem to function very well, what with the first couple of spins dumping unscreened material out the front like that. The sideways spinning screening buckets work better in that regard, but on the other hand they are a lot more fragile since the underside of them is screen and not hard steel. Very easy to bump the screen up against a big rock while taking a scoop and ruining it. I dunno, maybe this take on it would work better with some practice, and some technique to it. Maybe spin the bucket onto its back and rock it back and forth for a bit before giving it the full rolling treatment? Just spitballing here. I see potential overall. Also, loving the quick output of videos recently. Lots of fun stuff to see. Keep it up!
I predict he's going to very quickly tire of how slow this thing is, and replace it with one of those huge screens with the drum you load with the big rock truck. He'd be there for months screening that pile one tiny scoop at a time
On Mammoth mountain life channel, they were doing a project to build up a dirt pad for new building and they built/welded a custom screener to get the rocks out of the dirt . You would just dump the dirt on the large screen and let it filter the rocks out . There is a pic of it in his latest shorts video.

If there's anything out there to help Andrew do what he wants to get done, maybe someone can build it for him, and make it strong enough, he's a one man demonstration, good job as always. 😊
I was thinking the same. Typical overengineered overpriced gadget that works worse than the existing solution. Probably why I can't find much on them outside of their own promotion even though they've been available for years. It just doesn't seem to work very good and still dumps rocks on the first couple spins defeating the purpose to begin with. Not to mention the time wasted digging, shifting to get it inside, spin a couple times when you're still dropping rocks, then spinning it, then dumping the rocks. Then add on the time to disconnect your other implement, hook this up, and then change them back. With a shaker you can just continually feed it and while it's shaking grab another scoop. Small jobs maybe but it just seems like it would take a while to pay itself off. Hope Andrew got a deal on it for featuring it.
@@zodwraith5745 a Shaker Deck could be added to the Rock Crusher's out feed to separate rock size into two different piles. Would be a perfect solution for him around road building and water management. He could also have a return belt feeding larger items back through the crusher for another chance at the jaws of the crusher. Of course it's easy to point out these things when it's someone else's money. We watch his videos for the entertainment value more than anything, but I'll NEVER buy that bucket trunnel. I want to say he had a smaller one for his skid steer a couple of years back and it didn't work well either
Andrew is still looking for insulation materials that the plugs could be made of to stand up to his use of his front bumper as the battering ram it becomes ! This man can find the weak link in anything ,when a manufacturer lists equipment for duty thay better have tested it well because Andrew is going to do his best to check the equipment out to the max! This is the best content I have seen on UA-cam !
Wow, so much content in a few days. It already feels like Christmas 😊👍 Aside from your experience with that smaller version, is there a specific reason why you went with that rotating screening bucket style and not screening axels ?
I think what would help is on your shaker deck on the crusher just before the rocks dump in the crusher you may need to block off the section where the small rocks dump. While watching you video on crushing the other day a lot of the bigger rocks where dropping in there sideways. I think if you block that off completely then ALL the rocks will be all one size. It was just a thought I had and just thought you would like to know. Keep up the great videos they're very entertaining. Butch from Florida.
The vibrating grizzly feeder is there to try and pull away as much of the fines as possible to lessen wear and increase throughput at the jaw. Blocking it off would only cause the whole operation to slow down. The biggest issue is the type of rock he's running. Since it is so flat, it tends to pass through the jaw sideways, and not get crushed up. What would really help would be a screen after the jaw, to separate the material so he close adjust the closed side setting smaller, and re run the oversize from the screen.
They've got an attachment for just about every purpose, it seems! I've never seen a flip screen before seeing this video. It sure does make an excavator more versatile.
ive built a screener for top of my wheel barrow years ago. used conduit as middle support. snall diameter to prevent clogging, but strong for the weight. I used a brick to rub stones out of the dirt
I'm surprised you haven't invested in a trommel yet andrew it would be a great addition to the fleet and you could combine it with your crusher so the belt feeds the trommel then you grade as you crush
Definitely needs to be Pac-Man painted. Andrew could make a better sifter out of an old cement mixer. Just cut sections out of the drum bolt on the proper size screen rotate then attach a crane and shake out the rocks 😊
Andrew, have you tried the drum style screeners that spin like a washing machine? No special tools or binders needed. They work well at keeping everything inside the drum except for what is supposed to be screened.
I think you would like the Rotastar screening bucket! We have been running our small RS2-4 Rotastar on our Kubota KX033 since early last year and it works extremely well. Much better than the how the Flip Screen looks to run. The dealer A&D Equipment in CT can get one set up for you to fit any of your excavators, even the skid steers if you would like to run in on them! We are local to you in NY and absolutely love the bucket, and your videos!
Hoping Blue is fully recovered, I hate to see their suffering. My Lab Sam (d. 2014) grabbed a hooked fish and suffered the result. He had to be knocked out completely by a vet to have the hook removed, cos he was ready & willing to munch anyone who tried to do the job with headlock and pliers!
I already see Andrew browsing the market for a real screener to match his crusher. This bucket screener seems to be another company testing their product with the 'camarata limit' 😂😅
yeah probably its useful for remote sites where its hard/expensive to get material of a certain size. If it was a 4 hour round trip to get one load of gravel, this might save you some time.
That screening bucket seems overly complex and slow. We use biggest bucket we can find and built hydraylic-actuated screening "lid" to the bucket. Take material, close the lid, flip it upside down, shake shake shake, profit. You need to built the lid with lever arm where you attach the cylinders so it handles the load.
Hey andrew! To stop your machine batteries going flat you should invest in a 100w solar panel with a charge controller. Mount it almost vertically so you catch the afternoon sun and so snow buildup isn’t a problem and 100w so you’re getting a good amount of power for the reduced sun time of being mounted vertically. Personally I would use alligator clips so it’s easily removable for when you’re using the machine and you could make a base that uses toggle magnets to mount it so it’s not blown off by wind.👍
The way Andrew beats the crap out of everything he owns is extremely entertaining to watch. Even jumper cables get thrown and smashed around. I suppose you find the true quality products with this approach.
I always enjoy watching him ram his Dodge pickup into things that need to be straightened out or nudged. That bull bar actually gets used pretty hard.

@@zodwraith5745 a Shaker Deck could be added to the Rock Crusher's out feed to separate rock size into two different piles. Would be a perfect solution for him around road building and water management.
He could also have a return belt feeding larger items back through the crusher for another chance at the jaws of the crusher.
Of course it's easy to point out these things when it's someone else's money. We watch his videos for the entertainment value more than anything, but I'll NEVER buy that bucket trunnel. I want to say he had a smaller one for his skid steer a couple of years back and it didn't work well either
Glad too see he owns more than just pipe wrenches and Adjustable wrenches ! Wow A tool set with sockets and ratchets !
I hadn't seen a screener like that before, only your video for the skidsteer. Very Cool stuff here!!
great video as always
Perfect tool, to pick up potatoes and carrots. To loosen up the clay, mix it with sand.
Andrew is still looking for insulation materials that the plugs could be made of to stand up to his use of his front bumper as the battering ram it becomes ! This man can find the weak link in anything ,when a manufacturer lists equipment for duty thay better have tested it well because Andrew is going to do his best to check the equipment out to the max! This is the best content I have seen on UA-cam !
Andrew has been on a roll lately and that means more screen time for all of us.
Hell Yes!! You’re the man!
Awesome. I wondered what happened to that hyundai excavator.
great job. very satisfyingly to see your results. so much more comfortable on your new property (west catskills) than the east.
Awesome, another video, thank you for sharing, I learn a lot and always a pleasure watch your project👍👍👍👍
Wow, so much content in a few days. It already feels like Christmas 😊👍
Aside from your experience with that smaller version,
is there a specific reason why you went with that rotating screening bucket style and not screening axels ?
probably means it's been raining or snowing at his place and he's been in editing instead lol
I think what would help is on your shaker deck on the crusher just before the rocks dump in the crusher you may need to block off the section where the small rocks dump. While watching you video on crushing the other day a lot of the bigger rocks where dropping in there sideways. I think if you block that off completely then ALL the rocks will be all one size. It was just a thought I had and just thought you would like to know. Keep up the great videos they're very entertaining. Butch from Florida.
The vibrating grizzly feeder is there to try and pull away as much of the fines as possible to lessen wear and increase throughput at the jaw. Blocking it off would only cause the whole operation to slow down. The biggest issue is the type of rock he's running. Since it is so flat, it tends to pass through the jaw sideways, and not get crushed up. What would really help would be a screen after the jaw, to separate the material so he close adjust the closed side setting smaller, and re run the oversize from the screen.
Awesome as Always...really loved this one
Always love the videos....thanks for sharing
I love the I DONT THINK I CAN PUT THAT THERE! Andrew is growing up lol!
They've got an attachment for just about every purpose, it seems! I've never seen a flip screen before seeing this video. It sure does make an excavator more versatile.
IT IS AMAZING HOW FAR YOU HAVE COME!! GRATE JOB !!
ive built a screener for top of my wheel barrow years ago. used conduit as middle support. snall diameter to prevent clogging, but strong for the weight. I used a brick to rub stones out of the dirt
Can the excavator be brought to Cambodia?
I'm surprised you haven't invested in a trommel yet andrew it would be a great addition to the fleet and you could combine it with your crusher so the belt feeds the trommel then you grade as you crush
So focused on whether they could create this attachment, they never wondered whether they should. Looks like an attachment built for UA-camrs 😆
Yeah a simple grizzly would be faster.
Definitely needs to be Pac-Man painted. Andrew could make a better sifter out of an old cement mixer. Just cut sections out of the drum bolt on the proper size screen rotate then attach a crane and shake out the rocks 😊
Yes, classic POS.
These huge, modern machines are amazing !
I thought that was Lacy. Good to see the old girl still kicking!
We need an equipment update soon lol I’m dying to know how many total vehicles you own now Andrew
Andrew, have you tried the drum style screeners that spin like a washing machine? No special tools or binders needed. They work well at keeping everything inside the drum except for what is supposed to be screened.
Trommel
Similar but no. A rotary screening bucket attachment that digs and screens. Trommels only do screening.@@loveistheanswer8137
Great video like always.! Definitely need a case drain or will blow seals in motor you probably know already tho. Awesome job.!
I do enjoy watching machines do their thing.
I think you would like the Rotastar screening bucket! We have been running our small RS2-4 Rotastar on our Kubota KX033 since early last year and it works extremely well. Much better than the how the Flip Screen looks to run. The dealer A&D Equipment in CT can get one set up for you to fit any of your excavators, even the skid steers if you would like to run in on them! We are local to you in NY and absolutely love the bucket, and your videos!
They do look pretty cool, how long does the plastic teeth last for?
@@truckguy6.7 they don’t seem to be wearing at all on mine. Topsoil only though.
Hoping Blue is fully recovered, I hate to see their suffering. My Lab Sam (d. 2014) grabbed a hooked fish and suffered the result. He had to be knocked out completely by a vet to have the hook removed, cos he was ready & willing to munch anyone who tried to do the job with headlock and pliers!
that screen mechanism, a pretty cool
interesting screener! I bet you're happy to get the Hyundai up on the mountain! I really like that hammer! That thing's a Beast!
Poor Lacey. Old girl is still hanging in there. 💛🐶
Poor Blue. That was painful watching him in pain. Andrew's a good dad.
That's not Blue. That's Lacy. Blue's the brown dog. The other Cody.
@@rjb6327 Did you miss the part where Blue got in a fight with a porcupine? That's what the op is referring to.
Yup You're right. @@GuessWho-uc5uq
Looks like it will do for what you need it too. Great video Andrew.!!!!
I just got a set of hydraulic assisted forks for the skiddy. It's so nice not having to jump out the skiddy to adjust the forks
I already see Andrew browsing the market for a real screener to match his crusher. This bucket screener seems to be another company testing their product with the 'camarata limit' 😂😅
how did ur digger set on fire ?
How your excavator catch on fire ?
How did that thing catch fire
😊😊
Love your videos, watching from Arkansas!
You got all the toys!!😊 Nice video!
Early Christmas!!!!? What did we do to deserve this Andrew? So many uploads so few days 🎉
You must carry a jumper pack like a briefcase going to work every day every time.
glad to see your dad in these videos, im sure he enjoys getting out with his son
Very amazing work I really appreciate the efforts you did 💯
Andrew! Buy yourself a set of open-end wrenches!!!
Indeed, that adjustable mangles everything.
Seems like a slow screening process to me, but I guess it depends on how much you’re screening, time to give, money to spend…
yeah probably its useful for remote sites where its hard/expensive to get material of a certain size. If it was a 4 hour round trip to get one load of gravel, this might save you some time.
That screening bucket seems overly complex and slow. We use biggest bucket we can find and built hydraylic-actuated screening "lid" to the bucket. Take material, close the lid, flip it upside down, shake shake shake, profit. You need to built the lid with lever arm where you attach the cylinders so it handles the load.
Hey andrew! To stop your machine batteries going flat you should invest in a 100w solar panel with a charge controller. Mount it almost vertically so you catch the afternoon sun and so snow buildup isn’t a problem and 100w so you’re getting a good amount of power for the reduced sun time of being mounted vertically. Personally I would use alligator clips so it’s easily removable for when you’re using the machine and you could make a base that uses toggle magnets to mount it so it’s not blown off by wind.👍
Hey Andrew my son and I watch all your videos. He sent you a letter like a year ago, is there any chance you ever write back to fans?
I'm guessing $250 for the hose and fittings. Maybe $300
NICE VIDEO ANDREW SIR. THANK YOU FOR MAKE MY DAY EASYER !!!!! A DUTCH 65 YOUNG GUY .....
É Brasil com Camarata! 🇧🇷
