I appreciate many things about this channel and one of them is the fact that young, off gridders, get a tony taste of what it takes to work your property mostly by yourself. Lots of work and the road work is so far out of my skill set, it baffles my mind.
those two definitely deserve a nice mountainside retirement playing in the dirt. it warms my heart to see someone using and taking care of old iron instead of leaving them to rot into eternity
These video are like ASMR for me, something about Marty's voice and the hum of the equipment just totally relax me, perfect Corona watching material, Keep it up Marty!
Love these films and the fact that with some basic maintenance you bring these obsolete and unloved machines back to purposeful life. So easy to work on too. Good chunky engineering
Viewer: How does Marty pay for the fuel for these machines? Marty: G'day guys, I'm restoring this old mobile oil refinery I found off shore, it'll still make good fuel so.....
@@jackmorgan1677 its the perfect symbiotic relationship. he can do cool stuff without the need of it being financially feasible and we get great content.
I would suggest Marty is not doing life too hard ;) Perhaps he was comfortable in the first place. His well rounded speech suggests he has had a very good education.
Keeping it simple and steadily getting it done . Great to watch. One job I was on I was told by the foreman to stand and watch the backhoe. Well after a bit I'd nod off standing there . Good relaxation. I'd love to be poking about in that great little Bristol. Cheers from Queensland Australia
It must have been a great gift to have these two equipment when you have these long roads and you can maintain then yourself. Thank you for sharing your amazing journey. Be careful and safe. God bless you and your family.
Marty, it looks like the old equipment that you salvaged, and repaired, is paying you back big time. You are a good operator, and mechanic. The equipment should serve you well for years. After you get your driveway to the correct dimensions, it will be easy to use the motor grader to keep it touched up. Great job, great video, and have a great day.
That bulldozer look like it was the first model that did not use steam, but it does the job. I am surprised at how well it works with that shallow blade. Its almost like a strong grader, it just needs the blade to tilt.
You'd need to go back a couple of decades for the last of steam. My Mum's Dad , 'Herb' Nickalls (my middle name, German spelling), in Ealing, Canterbury, NZ, was a pioneer in that change. A Diesel factory-trained Engineer, he fled the Kaiser's call-up for WW 1, as far as he could, and serviced the first Diesel-powered heavy machines (tractors, dozers, road-rollers etc plus stationaries (generators etc.)) In NZ's South Island (and a known identity nationally). Ealing railway station/depot was kept busy, and Herb's 'herbs', the strength of his serviced machines awaiting delivery, were a blessing to the rail in Winter. Ealing is at the north end of a steep cutting leading up from the Rangitata river, and the rail was prone to icing, stranding north-bound rail. Herb used his machines to haul rail: Herb's 'herbs'.['Herbs' is a colloquial for fuel or strength]
Old equipment still doing a days work. Nice to see. Many people buy an old dozer or backhoe and work the crap out of it like they are factory fresh then get upset when they break a major,hard to find (if at all) and usually expensive used part. Slow and easy always wins.
Amazing to me that such old equipment can still get the job done, I remembering seeing a North Korean TV documentary on them constructing some of the new skyscrapers in their city and most of their equipment is just a mashup of old Soviet 60s, 70s and 80s stuff from old diggers to dozers and loaders, but it got the job done. There cases in Russia were they still use 40 - 60 year old machines for anything, does the job quite nicely as long as they are well oiled and well maintained.
It is pleasure to be with you in your endeavours. I'm across the ditch from you, in a warmer climes. Admire your tenacity and the gear that you have ressurected
Thanks for the therapy...... no idea why but yeah.... I wish i cud live on one of ur mountain tops in a small cabin. Waking up to them views every morning would make life bearable.
Wish I could find an old digger in the woods near my house, then I wish I had the skills to get it going. Nice job with the smaller bucket. A tool for every job.
Nice excavator...you fixed it up good. Just need to get a thumb on it preferably a hydraulic one if possible. A popular you tuber Andrew Camarata has a similar older Hitachi excavator and uses it often. good machines.
You're getting quite the road building section there with the digger, bulldozer and grader, cool...also great how you the material you remove with the digger to help smooth the driveway...also leaving the vegetable matter to rot will help give the other plants some food, cool...
I think people that know how old equipment works and know how to fix them and that live in remote areas should stay with the old stuff cuz there easy to fix you just need some special tools and if they braek down un like today's stuff you dont need a whole factory of people and equipment just ignore the broken thing and then you should pay like a million grand
Good job there Marty . Both the machines have paid for Thier work and maintenance ten times over they have saved you a small fortune so far . Excellent that you've brought them back to life and putting them back to work . Just as it should be instead of sitting in the ground unused and rusting away . That was the job i used to do in the eighties heavy construction and machine maintenance , was happy as a pig in the old brown stinking stuff up to the eyes in oil and grease , happy days then for sure . Repairing them where they stood in the middle of nowhere . Old saying by one of the old hands that had worked in Australia , doing road construction , he emigrated out there then came back to England . Before I write this , keep it clean fellas , his words of wisdom when we didnt have certain parts were . . When in the bush , , improvise , , so that's what had to be done to get the machines up and running again . Cobble them together until we got the parts sent out to us . . Keep up the excellent work excellent channel Marty , top man .
I have to say that with your voice, that smashing little dozer and its big brother that you should make a couple of kids episodes featuring all the noises and simple action that is the charm of these machines... That and the beautiful backdrop coupled with your calm voice would be very popular I would guess...
Marlborough Sounds, top of the South Island. Occasionally earthquakes, scary weather and mudslides though. But the vistas and clear water are out of this world.
I love wasps! Always visit them several hours after sunset, wear green/cam foul weather gear, and welding gauntlets. Take a large squirty bottle of carbaryl to share at the party. Don't go back for a week. Painting my traxcavator green also deterred them, and never be a blue rag to a wasp in the bush. ;-)
That freebie has already paid for itself just by clearing your sidewall up, it wouldn't be cheap to hire someone with an excavator to have done that for you!
As you keep improving that track the cable T.V. truck will soon be able to brave its way up there to you if you're not careful. Then there goes your peace and quiet. 😉 It needs saying that your cinematography skills are quite impressive added to the rest of your abilities.

G'day mate Grant here from across the Tasman. I'm not in the industry but have always loved excavators and buy earthmovers magazine last 2, years. I love how you got the I thi k ex120 running after sitting in the bush for years and seeing what you do with her. I am a huge fan of old Hitachi excavators and would love to get an old Uho83 or similar to preserve and retire on our land. More videos please. Look after the old girl. Grant
If you pray ahead of time, and your faith is strong, God wont allow them to touch you. I know from 100’s of experiences….I’m not a quack. Very few out of hundreds at my job are brave enough to put there trust in God like this. Even after they see me around wasp nests. 🤷 God is love❤️😊 He’s never allowed me to be stung. I’d put my hand on a Bible and swear to it✋
What totally different view, when operating the excavator, to just viewing form the roadside, that arm looks miles away, bet that takes a while to get used too, and those killer bees..lol
Watching a guy having a lot of fun and making a major improvement to his land. Great video!
I'm an excavator operator, on my days off I watch excavation videos.
Marty is not only a great DIY mechanic, he's also a bloody good film maker.
He is the Andrew Camarata of New Zealand.
So majestic watching a mama excavator caring and teaching her young the ways of their species.
Thanks again Marty ! You’ve put a lot of work into your land over the years .
I appreciate many things about this channel and one of them is the fact that young, off gridders, get a tony taste of what it takes to work your property mostly by yourself. Lots of work and the road work is so far out of my skill set, it baffles my mind.
I love the boldozer so i keep following her or watching what update shes doing 😍
those two definitely deserve a nice mountainside retirement playing in the dirt. it warms my heart to see someone using and taking care of old iron instead of leaving them to rot into eternity
Well said, they all make a great team!
barrel roll from the bees was great watch your videos all the time bristol looks like she is running great also a good job on the hitachi too
Wasps
It's amazing how machines moving dirt can be so entertaining.
I love seeing these old refurbished machines being put to such good use!
me too
These video are like ASMR for me, something about Marty's voice and the hum of the equipment just totally relax me, perfect Corona watching material, Keep it up Marty!
Another excellent job, well done Marty. I’m really enjoying watching your older videos. Sooooooooo deeply entertaining.
You are so blessed to have found all this old machinery, I would love to come hang out up there with you and see what all you've done to the place.
Love these films and the fact that with some basic maintenance you bring these obsolete and unloved machines back to purposeful life. So easy to work on too. Good chunky engineering
Hey, man - it's gerat to see these beasts working for a living.
They work well, too!
Glad they're not just for show.
Huge improvement Marty. Good work. All that work getting the old machines back to good health has payed off immensely.
Viewer: How does Marty pay for the fuel for these machines?
Marty: G'day guys, I'm restoring this old mobile oil refinery I found off shore, it'll still make good fuel so.....
Look at his viewer- and subscriber stats. UA-cam pays for all that Marty is doing, including the fuel.

@@jackmorgan1677 its the perfect symbiotic relationship. he can do cool stuff without the need of it being financially feasible and we get great content.
The machines probably don't take much fuel. It's pretty amazing what you can do with a gallon of deezzel.
I would suggest Marty is not doing life too hard ;) Perhaps he was comfortable in the first place. His well rounded speech suggests he has had a very good education.
wow, considering that machine sat in the woods for so many years and now has new life and doing a ton of work is amazing
uu
I have no idea how an excavator works, but I wtched the whole abandoned excavator playlist. It is quite impressing what you did. Well done.
Keeping it simple and steadily getting it done . Great to watch. One job I was on I was told by the foreman to stand and watch the backhoe. Well after a bit I'd nod off standing there . Good relaxation. I'd love to be poking about in that great little Bristol. Cheers from Queensland Australia

I swear ! everytime i see Martys face in the sped footage he has a big smile :D
In my happy place 😂
So much fun to be had when you have machinery to take the strain. What you need is a hedge trimming attachment for the tractor. Cheers Marty.
FOR THE LOVE OF GOD FIX THAT WOBBLY BUCKET! IT DRIVES ME MADDER THAN I ALREADY AM! Cheers from Canada.
Marty I really like how you have videos without music while you work. Love to hear the machines working.......Best wishes Thanks for sharing
Love watching some one working difficult country with simple old equipment & turning out a really neat job .
I still love the way that Bristol moves material, the blade is the ideal width for working on your narrow track
Love all your vintage equipment. And that it's acquisition cost you almost nothing. Perfect kit for your hilly property!
Marty, it looks like the old equipment that you salvaged, and repaired, is paying you back big time. You are a good operator, and mechanic. The equipment should serve you well for years. After you get your driveway to the correct dimensions, it will be easy to use the motor grader to keep it touched up. Great job, great video, and have a great day.
High drama indeed! It happened to me recently. I wish I'd thought of that commando barrel roll. 10 out of 10 for style
When was tht
That bulldozer look like it was the first model that did not use steam, but it does the job. I am surprised at how well it works with that shallow blade. Its almost like a strong grader, it just needs the blade to tilt.
It does such a nice job of grading the track though. Much better than you'd expect from such a small dozer that looks to go back a few years.
I want one. 😁
Oh man i laughed too hard at “the first model that did not use steam”
You'd need to go back a couple of decades for the last of steam. My Mum's Dad , 'Herb' Nickalls (my middle name, German spelling), in Ealing, Canterbury, NZ, was a pioneer in that change.

love watching the old Iron work, thanks Marty
Marty you are certainly putting those old machine to good use as well improving your property.
That was one of the funniest things I seen in a while (wasp nest stinging).
Marty, Id like to see you put a 360 degree rotating dozer blade on the end of the excavator. Now that would be handy 👍
I think Hitachi would love to see what you are doing with their old machine.
Amazing to me that such old equipment can still get the job done, I remembering seeing a North Korean TV documentary on them constructing some of the new skyscrapers in their city and most of their equipment is just a mashup of old Soviet 60s, 70s and 80s stuff from old diggers to dozers and loaders, but it got the job done.
There cases in Russia were they still use 40 - 60 year old machines for anything, does the job quite nicely as long as they are well oiled and well maintained.
I want your life I don't think you could have any more fun in life than what your doing.
Looks like a Dino browsing on the greenery.
Thanks for sharing !!
It is pleasure to be with you in your endeavours. I'm across the ditch from you, in a warmer climes. Admire your tenacity and the gear that you have ressurected
Nature always strikes back. If you go on working like this a wasp nest will be your smallest problem.
Amazing how quiet the old dozer is...
I love to see old equipment still being used for what it was designed for.
Almost a super highway. You will be able to put a toll on it.....
dude, you are *MACHINEBOSS* !...lord of all things mechanical and master of the realm of work.
Look and sound like a busy bug and i like it lol.
amazingly useful to have an excavator in a rural setting. Love your videos.
Thanks for the therapy...... no idea why but yeah.... I wish i cud live on one of ur mountain tops in a small cabin. Waking up to them views every morning would make life bearable.
It seems to me you're just having fun with your excavator and bulldozer. "I need a track over that hill...."
Wish I could find an old digger in the woods near my house, then I wish I had the skills to get it going. Nice job with the smaller bucket. A tool for every job.
Nice excavator...you fixed it up good. Just need to get a thumb on it preferably a hydraulic one if possible. A popular you tuber Andrew Camarata has a similar older Hitachi excavator and uses it often. good machines.
1in a billion is Marty planted 500k plus trees, years of hard work and clever application of one’s self
You're getting quite the road building section there with the digger, bulldozer and grader, cool...also great how you the material you remove with the digger to help smooth the driveway...also leaving the vegetable matter to rot will help give the other plants some food, cool...
Hey Marty, get yourself some wasp spray , an keep it with you , just in case there's a next time. It works great !
Great job putting your newly acquired equipment to use. Ready has come in handy.
Plenty to do in your “bubble”, Marty. So much fun to be had while staying home!
The old pieces of equipment do a great job for what you need it seems, nice job on upgrading your road.
Excelente.
A todo esto, en que parte del mundo vives? (Where do You live? Uk?
I think people that know how old equipment works and know how to fix them and that live in remote areas should stay with the old stuff cuz there easy to fix you just need some special tools and if they braek down un like today's stuff you dont need a whole factory of people and equipment just ignore the broken thing and then you should pay like a million grand

I love the video description i.e. fixing up my driveway-should be: fixing the "Marty T Roadway."
Awesome video mate, but hell I hope you were ok after those wasps they can be very nasty
I would love to have the little dozer at my place

These vids are great there's something about watching progress being made, really enjoy them plus you live in a great part of the country too!
Marlborough Sounds, top of the South Island. Occasionally earthquakes, scary weather and mudslides though. But the vistas and clear water are out of this world.
Great camera angles, makes the whole process so much more interesting. Thats really steep country.
great video, showing off your resources and talents, enjoyed the project, blessings!
I'm so enjoying your videos, Marty,, much more entertaining than regular TV rubbish
Amazing how much work you can do with machinery others thought worthless.
And to think he's doing all this work with equipment that had been abandoned for decades
On the wasp nest on could try spraying it with Vinegar to kill them or diesel into nest.
Well done
If the public road works in my town were as efficient and entertaining as these videos there would be no more holes in the road.
You're doing really well !! I am vicariously enjoying watching you, a lot !! Keep it up !!
Nice tidy worker
Great job Marty T! That's a real "white knuckle" ride up that grade, the slope and drop-off's are pretty severe for sure...keep your eyes on the road.
For a gasser dozer that Bristol seems to run awesome. Sure nice to when you have the right iron for road building and improvement.
Damm that old stuff works well especially the Bristol! It’s more powerful than it looks ! Another fun vid Marty and looking forward to the grader !
It's currently 6:38 am here. I can't sleep, and Corona confined, so I'm a captive audience. At least I'm easily entertained.
Hola from O Hi O.
