Military Museum Yup my dad grew up with n a farm but moved to the city for us. He passed. I’ve now moved to the country and have a tractor. I bet he would have liked to reminisce and have a play on it.
Your Dad is a GEM, Andrew! Always love the videos where he makes an appearance.....alas, not because he's there to help solve a problem, but because it's a father and son working together. Good stuff! 👏👊👍😍❤️️
Billy Mcclanahan - I can relate. My grandfather taught me so much.Sometimes I wonder if he knew it at the time or if he was just going through the motions

"Hey Andrew it's Ron, remember that huge rock you put next to my house? Someone drove right into it and turned it around, can you come back and move it?"
A client is always right. As long as they pay the bill. Rude attitude is being a looser. As a Customer Service Manager for 36 years, I should know a thing or two...
Marc René Yvon So if a client wanted a 1 inch deep concrete base to park their 10 tonne truck on they’d be right would they? 😂 You’re obviously just a yes man, grow a spine.
Andrew, your videos connect with people. No long oration, no moaning about needing more web traffic, no silly attempt at humor and no music. New subscriber. Good job.
You would be surprised at how fast you can make money with a skid steer and a grapple bucket and a brush hog. You can rent implements like trenchers and air chizzles you might need for jobs until you can own them. any equipment is a great purchase.
Why is Andrew so popular that people can't get enough of it? People are connecting with him in an incredible way! I think there is more depth to him than he is willing to show. Love it when he shows the interaction with his dad and other people; it's a kind of " I want to be like Andrew when I grow up" kind of thing, you know? Have to hurry 'cause I am already 74.
Glad to see your dad helping you. I used to learn everything I could from my father and he always took the lead. But as he's getting older, I bring him in on projects like these and he stands there and waits for my instructions like yours seemed to. They won't be around forever. Take advantage.
I can't tell you how many times I've stepped back from something that started to go wrong and said "what would Pa do?" It's way better when he's standing there observing you start to screw something up.
I like when you get your old man in the videos. Dude! Get him off the couch and put him a machine. We use to put my grandpa in a dozer and have him move trees and dirt... That IHI is nice! You're going to like that machine. I've always been impressed with their stuff and the IHI people in Elizabethtown, KY are super cool, they have sent me PDF's of their equipment and everything if you need help.
I bet you love working with old guys as clients. They hang around all day, have all kinds of input, and cheer when it gets done exactly the way they want. Fun customers for sure....
As a Registered Nurse for 44 years, whose first brand new vehicle purchase after graduation was a shinny new Ford 3000 with an industrial loader and back blade, for $9200.00. It’s heart warming to see Andrew involve his Dad in many of his repair efforts. As a Director of Nursing involved in the care of the elderly for over 20+years, I sense Andrew besides being skilled in so many areas, is keeping a close eye on his Dad and there for him when he needs him. Andrews sister lives in Vermont...Andrew’s videos show a much stronger presence at home...with his Dad. An example of a son we all hope to have....
Ok, I'll be the first to stick up for Bobcat. In general they are very good machines. Ive owned several of them in the last 20 years. Two S-130's, two S300's, Two T320's, one S750 and one 873. They were/are all VERY good machines with minimal down time. I have owned/operated several other brands as well but will take a bobcat any day of the week. Of course machines break, do you think that just because a machine is manufactured in Japan its somehow not going to break? I've read a lot of uninformed comments here. That bobcat he owns is almost 20 years old and it works hard. Machines get tired and obviously things start to wear out over time just like anything else we buy. The real problems started coming in with the advent of the government mandated tier 4 engines with all the emissions garbage, which all manufacturers must follow. If you want a great machine, buy a bobcat with a Tier 3 Kubota, best engines hands down. Just my 2 cents.
I have a buddy that’s an equipment operator and he taught me that when setting big rocks to always bury them a little to make then look natural, like they’ve been there forever. Rocks sitting on top of the ground just don’t look right. Feng Shui stuff. There is a whole art of setting rocks practiced by the Japanese for hundreds of years which dictates size, quantity, direction, even grain. (Sakuteiki) check it out it’s really interesting.
I agree with you on that. It would look better buried a little bit. I dont think this guy was to worried about it. He had him put the worse looking side outward. I guess he was just trying to protect his house. lol
Stoke Burner that's so true. I like to plant them in clumps so I might have put the smaller and the larger side by side. The fun of landscaping is you can endlessly change it.
Levi knew that wasn't one of your machines but he could smell you. Great video and nice new machine. I know you will give it a good look over now that you saw how it was maintained.
Andrew I have been watching all your endeavors and appreciate your detail explaining the use and maintenance of all the equipment you have great Chanel. Thanks Jim Mclean
My dad died when i was 20 yo now im 77 such a world of love and experience i missed out on.now in the past 18 months i buried 2 of my sons what a fkn useless life i have lived even my 3 wives turned out to be HEAPS OF SHIT.
Congratulations with your new skid steer, hope to see it in many new adventures. Thank you for sharing your amazing story. God bless you and your family
I've enjoyed all of your videos and can appreciate all the equipment with no payments. I have been working on my Fleet, just traded an F250 today for a newer one with crew cab and 4wd. Got a little Kubota with a few attachments and can see myself getting a skidsteer and mini Ex. Thanks for the encouragement
I learned with the iso joystick controls and I like it better than the H pattern, never used foot pedals yet but that sounds extra confusing at this point
Bobcat's problems are from years of instability as Clark foundered and sold Bobcat to Ingersoll Rand in the 90s who was buying up many businesses and had very poor management who insisted on low inventory of both machines and parts. IR sold Bobcat to Doosan in the mid 2000s. Companies would rather sell new machines than parts for old ones so they increase parts prices.
Look forward to more videos with your new skid steer. You are pretty darn handy in repairing your equipment. Thank you for sharing, and God Bless from Phoenix.
Having spent more hours in Bobcats than I can remember, getting in and out of your new machine seems like a dream. That might not seem like a big thing to some folks, but it is. A nice addition to the fleet. Good score!
man I cut the end off my toe off taking an attachment off like that it fell over. dont ever beat the release pins up with it tilted down where it can fall off and onto you!
I was scared as well yelling at my phone wondering why he was fighting physics and common sense but if you go back to 7:45 you can see he had the lip grounded and applying back pressure so I’ve seen worst.
Yeah, I almost had the same thing happen to me. Got **REAL** lucky because it was up about 6' off the ground too so I could get out of my enclosed cab. I guess I was smart enough to stand to the side, but one lapse of judgment could have cost me a foot or leg. There are Grease Zerks that need to be greased regularly so the bucket locking pins can seat and unseat themselves smoothly. I didn't know about it, and the Bobcat salesman never mentioned it either, and they are well hidden especially after use in a muddy environment, they are hard to see. Pressure wash, then grease is the key. The grease in that chamber also keeps a lot of rocks, dirt, water, and rust out that prevent the lock pin from sliding. I bought a Milwaukee Cordless Grease Gun with 10,000 psi, and that helps with the maintenance tremendously. There's also better grease zerk interface clamps that make putting them on and pulling them off so much easier.
I love this new skid steer, it seems to match some of your other equipment, I also love seeing your Dad working with you. Only thing I’d like to see is an enclosed cab with heat and a killer sound system for all your great music. It looks like 2019 will be a great new AC new year
@10:38 A legend was born right there. A lot of work was done with that combination. for some reason the algorithm is bringing up these old videos for me and I still enjoy. Bravo.
Thanks for the great video mate, good to see your first job on the new skid steer hope to see many more , just a observation from a old retired plumber of 30 odd years ,when I saw you trying to move those rocks by hand ,when your young and strong it's no problem but as you get older your body will you remind you about its limitations, and I bet there's a lot of subscribers that know what I'm talking about. Cheers from down under.
@@davidmorse8432 Actually he should sell it while it is still working and get another well made, reliable machine. There is no sense in maintaining several different brands and having to figure out how they work every time you repair it. He's already said he like Yanmar equipment, he could just get all Yanmar powered equipment....
@@ckm-mkc With all the publicity it has had, he probably could find a buyer that would want for posterity if nothing else. He could auction it off on Ebay.
Hey that home owner did some great walking camera work ! Bring him with you next time ! Nice Machine. Between you and Essential Craftsman, I have spent too much time on UA-cam. Thanks for the videos.
Your gonna be very successful in the Business Andrew you do nice work! And self taught .You should go for heavy equipment operator s license Those guys make big $$
Always look forward to a new video. Your "good enough" attitude is refreshing. I am a "polish the bee bee" kind of guy and it turns out "good enough" if I'm lucky.
Looks to be an upgrade from the Bobcat. Good luck selling it. I sure agree with your comment about Japanese reliability compared to our machines. I’ve heard Volvo makes some good heavy equipment too. I thought we went through this learning curve about building unreliable junk about 40 years ago. Have American manufacturers forgotten already? In the past 50 years I’ve owned about 14 trucks including 3 Toyota’s and 1 Mazda and found that brand new American trucks were all less reliable than used Japanese ones - even high mileage used ones. I once bought a used Toyota SR-5 with 129,000 miles on it. I got it cheap because of the miles but it ran like a watch for another 165,000 miles until it was totaled out in a wreck. I salvaged the truck and sold the engine, transmission and rear end for almost what I paid for it. The Japanese proved it can be done. I’ve never had any American vehicle last like that. No wonder we have a hard time selling our stuff overseas.
Many of the Volvo's are built in USA so it is not the American workers or the engineers who are the problem... think it is management. Toyota has plants all over the world including USA and they still manage to make good stuff. Some American brands like Caterpillar making a good job to hold the American flag high. Has driven Arctic Cat (typical U.S. brand)... shitty finish but charming for many years, my UTV is an Polaris (pretty bad finish on the products). After Arctic they teamed up with Yamaha (think they already divorced Yamaha, don't know) they have really started to get some finish on their products and still they are charming. Like them a lot. So in conclusion, some American brands have forgotten and some have done their homework.
Well ultimately its the shareholders of these companies that decide more profit needs to be made. And a lot of ordinary people do own a "wallet" of shares directly or indirectly so it's quite a complicated issue that rises up across a wide variety of industries.
We had best machines and tools (hell, we invented everything) until we started working on "diversity" and now the most competent get fired to make room for fucking diversity. Homogeneity is strength, diversity the biggest weakness. I bumped into this story from USPS yesterday and it sounds incredible sad and unfair: ua-cam.com/video/LuSWycFnJrs/v-deo.html

I wonder if your hot water pressure washer would’ve freed up the bucket latches. I like the machine the previous owner did not keep it clean, the track area has mud in it...you know. I may buy this brand keep the videos coming they are awesome.
@Marshal Dillon he doesn't want an American machine because the quality is often so poor. Besides Cat and Deere are using Japanese made engines Kubota and Yanmar in their smaller machines. And Bobcat used Kubota and Deutz for many years till Doosan (South Korean) took them over now they naturally have Doosan engines. I should add that many Bobcat components are made in Canada as well. To hell with buying anything American all these bits and pieces come from all over the world these days ignorant moron.
Marshal Dillon I bought 4 John Deere tractors checkout my channel Marauder Mitchelli. Andrew has hands on experience repairing construction equipment like no one most of us have ever known. He uses machines which most believe have no more useful life in them, but he kicks butt with them and does an amazing on repairing them. If he’s fed up with Bobcat repairs I’m with him, he knows more than us about his equipment and is wise beyond his years.
i think the tracks have concrete in it.. looked like that bucket where he was hammering it out had concrete in it.. thats just pitiful to abuse your tools like that

Having spent more hours in Bobcats than I can remember, getting in and out of your new machine seems like a dream. That might not seem like a big thing to some folks, but it is. A nice addition to the fleet. Good score!
man I cut the end off my toe off taking an attachment off like that it fell over. dont ever beat the release pins up with it tilted down where it can fall off and onto you!
No kidding that scared the hell out of me
I was scared as well yelling at my phone wondering why he was fighting physics and common sense but if you go back to 7:45 you can see he had the lip grounded and applying back pressure so I’ve seen worst.
Do you have any trouble with your heavy equipment
Letsdig18 just took the time to give you some advice, so take it son.
Yeah, I almost had the same thing happen to me. Got **REAL** lucky because it was up about 6' off the ground too so I could get out of my enclosed cab. I guess I was smart enough to stand to the side, but one lapse of judgment could have cost me a foot or leg. There are Grease Zerks that need to be greased regularly so the bucket locking pins can seat and unseat themselves smoothly. I didn't know about it, and the Bobcat salesman never mentioned it either, and they are well hidden especially after use in a muddy environment, they are hard to see. Pressure wash, then grease is the key. The grease in that chamber also keeps a lot of rocks, dirt, water, and rust out that prevent the lock pin from sliding. I bought a Milwaukee Cordless Grease Gun with 10,000 psi, and that helps with the maintenance tremendously. There's also better grease zerk interface clamps that make putting them on and pulling them off so much easier.
Awesome, agree, nice to father & son working together and as always Levi is THE MAN!
Well done! And enjoyed every minute of the rock movement
NO WAY did I think that machine would pick that heavy ass rock out of frozen ground...
Nice job!!
I love this new skid steer, it seems to match some of your other equipment, I also love seeing your Dad working with you. Only thing I’d like to see is an enclosed cab with heat and a killer sound system for all your great music. It looks like 2019 will be a great new AC new year
Congrats on the new acquisition!
Keep up the great videos Andrew you are a inspiring young man with Good work ethics
Nice addition to the collection Andrew, its got more balls than I would have expected. Good to see your working through the winter and keeping busy.
Congratulations on all the new equipment man.
"Cep't for the ones in my head" the old guy made a Camarata funny !
@10:38 A legend was born right there. A lot of work was done with that combination. for some reason the algorithm is bringing up these old videos for me and I still enjoy. Bravo.
Thanks for the great video mate, good to see your first job on the new skid steer hope to see many more , just a observation from a old retired plumber of 30 odd years ,when I saw you trying to move those rocks by hand ,when your young and strong it's no problem but as you get older your body will you remind you about its limitations, and I bet there's a lot of subscribers that know what I'm talking about. Cheers from down under.
Nice machine. I like it. My only suggestion is a new paint job. That looks like a Russian paint job color scheme it came with. LOL
I like the dark blue thougg, that green though lol. Dark blue and white would look okay?
NASCAR!
Will79 A woodland Camouflage paint job 👌🏻👍🏻
Lots of japanese equipment comes with fancy colors
@@megape95 thats made by kubota company manufacturing plant in japan the best japenese products in the world
You’re going to need your Yanmar to dig a big enough hole to bury that Bobcat! 😀
He should keep it as a backup when the IHI goes down.
@ganymedeIV4 Yep, he has learned a bunch working on it and so have we. I have learned that I don't ever want one, how about you?
@@davidmorse8432 Actually he should sell it while it is still working and get another well made, reliable machine. There is no sense in maintaining several different brands and having to figure out how they work every time you repair it. He's already said he like Yanmar equipment, he could just get all Yanmar powered equipment....
@@ckm-mkc With all the publicity it has had, he probably could find a buyer that would want for posterity if nothing else. He could auction it off on Ebay.
I appreciate your efforts to put out quality videos....
An excellent addition to the fleet! I think the more you use it, the better you'll like it.
Hey that home owner did some great walking camera work ! Bring him with you next time ! Nice Machine. Between you and Essential Craftsman, I have spent too much time on UA-cam. Thanks for the videos.
Your gonna be very successful in the Business Andrew you do nice work!
And self taught .You should go for heavy equipment operator s license
Those guys make big $$
Always look forward to a new video. Your "good enough" attitude is refreshing. I am a "polish the bee bee" kind of guy and it turns out "good enough" if I'm lucky.
You're one kind individual. Cool to see how patient you were with that guy.
The video is so good please make more.
Looks to be an upgrade from the Bobcat. Good luck selling it. I sure agree with your comment about Japanese reliability compared to our machines. I’ve heard Volvo makes some good heavy equipment too. I thought we went through this learning curve about building unreliable junk about 40 years ago. Have American manufacturers forgotten already? In the past 50 years I’ve owned about 14 trucks including 3 Toyota’s and 1 Mazda and found that brand new American trucks were all less reliable than used Japanese ones - even high mileage used ones. I once bought a used Toyota SR-5 with 129,000 miles on it. I got it cheap because of the miles but it ran like a watch for another 165,000 miles until it was totaled out in a wreck. I salvaged the truck and sold the engine, transmission and rear end for almost what I paid for it. The Japanese proved it can be done. I’ve never had any American vehicle last like that.
No wonder we have a hard time selling our stuff overseas.
Many of the Volvo's are built in USA so it is not the American workers or the engineers who are the problem... think it is management. Toyota has plants all over the world including USA and they still manage to make good stuff. Some American brands like Caterpillar making a good job to hold the American flag high. Has driven Arctic Cat (typical U.S. brand)... shitty finish but charming for many years, my UTV is an Polaris (pretty bad finish on the products). After Arctic they teamed up with Yamaha (think they already divorced Yamaha, don't know) they have really started to get some finish on their products and still they are charming. Like them a lot. So in conclusion, some American brands have forgotten and some have done their homework.
Great video, I love where you live the mountains are awesome .
I love your patients with customers.
You have to wonder how much of people running into his house he's going get. But as long as it makes him happy, that's what counts.
I like that!!!
I'm guessing it's for snow plowing to keep them from hitting the decorative stone around the foundation.
It’s a sad testimonial Andrew but it’s true that some manufacturers in this country put profit before quality and reliability in their product
Well ultimately its the shareholders of these companies that decide more profit needs to be made. And a lot of ordinary people do own a "wallet" of shares directly or indirectly so it's quite a complicated issue that rises up across a wide variety of industries.
We had best machines and tools (hell, we invented everything) until we started working on "diversity" and now the most competent get fired to make room for fucking diversity.
Homogeneity is strength, diversity the biggest weakness.
I bumped into this story from USPS yesterday and it sounds incredible sad and unfair: ua-cam.com/video/LuSWycFnJrs/v-deo.html
The usa stuff use to last so long, that era is gone here now. I grandpa has stuff from the 50s n 60s that looks and does better than the stuff now.
True but his machines are quite old and have many many hours on them do you think they would run forever?
We used to build good things in this country (Canada and the US), now it's just a race to the bottom against the Chinese and the Mexicans.
Your outro cinematography and music choice was great. Keep on with the videos, the knowledge you provide is awesome
👍🏻 Enjoy watching your videos. Keep up the great work.
You'll get acquainted with those controls fast. They will feel like they're part of your body after a few hours.I love you videos can't go a day without seeing what you're doing next.\
See Ya
Mark
I take that the previous owner had never taken the bucket off!
He used concrete to secure it in place...
@@FreeOnGoal lol
I think Andrew said that he unlocked it the day he purchased it. Since then the dirt froze around the latch pin and that's why it was stuck.
Or did some last minute concrete work before Andrew picked it up
Ian Powell that was just frozen gravel, not concrete
Always impressed with your drone and how you present your beautiful countryside.
i love it how people know what they want in their heads until its done then its all change time! you are a remarkable being with the patients of a people pleaser , great job Andrew ! i felt the customers pain and sometimes it just has to be right !
I was waiting to see what would happen with your skid steer. Looks like a good choice Sir.
I wonder if your hot water pressure washer would’ve freed up the bucket latches. I like the machine the previous owner did not keep it clean, the track area has mud in it...you know. I may buy this brand keep the videos coming they are awesome.
@Marshal Dillon he doesn't want an American machine because the quality is often so poor. Besides Cat and Deere are using Japanese made engines Kubota and Yanmar in their smaller machines. And Bobcat used Kubota and Deutz for many years till Doosan (South Korean) took them over now they naturally have Doosan engines. I should add that many Bobcat components are made in Canada as well. To hell with buying anything American all these bits and pieces come from all over the world these days ignorant moron.
Marshal Dillon I bought 4 John Deere tractors checkout my channel Marauder Mitchelli. Andrew has hands on experience repairing construction equipment like no one most of us have ever known. He uses machines which most believe have no more useful life in them, but he kicks butt with them and does an amazing on repairing them. If he’s fed up with Bobcat repairs I’m with him, he knows more than us about his equipment and is wise beyond his years.
Marshal Dillon you sound like a right idiot.
i think the tracks have concrete in it.. looked like that bucket where he was hammering it out had concrete in it.. thats just pitiful to abuse your tools like that
but john deere and caterpillar are making their engines in China and parts there too @Marshal Dillon
You're very lucky to be able to share this time with your father. Enjoy it as much as you can you will look back fondly!
I love the way your dad is always willing to help out 👍 you guys must have a great relationship ❤️
