Hey Andrew it's your friend Rocco from Connecticut always enjoy your videos I looking for a used tracked skid steer like the ones you have what is a good price for one of those please let me know thanks your friend Rocco from Connecticut always enjoy seeing Levi and Cody
@@AndrewCamarata why this huge trackloader, are you planning to quarry a lot more roadbase from your lot ? It looks like a bit too big and cumbersome to haul to your average driveway project... but if you put it in front of a forest, it would roll right through it...
I've watched at least 50 of his videos.... He NEVER tells the viewers to "subscribe" or "hit the like button".... people just do it freely b/c he makes good content!!
i think one of the things that makes Andrew so entertaining to watch is that he describes what he does as "fun". We're not really just watching a man work. We're watching a man have fun.
Hey from someone that dug over 500 basement back in day with a front engine (977) (983) track loader. Use the torque converter more. Stop the track spin..get a bite near idle and roll into the coal..not wide open. You will get more done..and get more life out bottom..and stay away from mud..she sink like a pig..great machines..the 963 cant cut like that pig due to weight. Good luck
same thing with the lock picking lawyer if he says "you might want to consider it" thats something that should be purchased. For instance: His review on the PacLoc locking hitch pin, I bought one 2 weeks ago because of that video.
I can't tell you how much I get a kick out of just one hard-working guy owning one of almost every type of heavy construction vehicle. Just waiting for the wrecking ball crane video...
That’s a serious material mover. May dad ran one for 25 years for a coal company and he loved every minute, always said he enjoyed it more than he deserved.
I have been watching ur videos for a while. I have been running Heavy Equipment since 1968 . I have seen you from start and you are getting better. Keep on going you are doing fine
Yeah, was wondering how he's gonna get it around. Isn't the limit on his new ish trailer like twenty tons? I may be wrong though, sure he would have a plan before buying it.
Idk if it'll fit! 😂 This guy has a serious fleet going now. One of the only UA-camrs that I watch every single "just bought a" video because its always something cool. Happy Friday!
Or build a big barn to store everything under the roof. I feel like in Europe it is more common to store all your gear under roof, but benefit of America (correct me if I'm wrong) is that your can make your ranch as big as u need space for.
I’m the same age as Andrew and I love sharing these videos with my friends and family. Both my wife and daughter love watching the new ones together as a family.
Hello Andrew, you have bought a very good machine in the 977K. I saw many of these in action when I was a young cat mechanic in the 1970's. It has an engine and transmission that are perfectly matched for hard work. Its not often that you see a fully enclosed cab on this model, a very good option. Just remember that digging in solid rock will shorten the life of any machine. I will be following you now and look forward to more videos of this machine. Thanks!
Nothing can beat the versatility of a track loader on the job site. I own and operate the newer generation of the 977, i have a 973C with the hydrostatic, and it always impresses me how much i can do with it.
@@Mark_Chandler they can turn on 120 degrees, but most likely he backed down the road, with out a tractor's weight and obstruction, it's not hard. Try doing that in a subdivision with cars on both sides of the road, that's a challenge.
@@Mark_Chandler if I knew what his yard looked like I would have turned around up at his house, looks like a few good spots. May have had to move a couple pieces of equipment, but his road is nice, either way would have worked.
when you are digging with that 977 wiggle the bucket going into the bank, instead of just lifting it you will have more success filling the bucket. run one for many years good machine
LOVE these old Cats , ran both models they are hard working earth movers. a 977 is = to D7 / 955 = D5 of their era. this 977 you bought looks to be in great shape. good luck with all your equipment.
It’s a shame that the engine side covers are missing on so many of these old traxcavators. Great video it’s people like you that care about these old Cats Many thanks
Great seeing the old 977's getting some use, If your collecting or needing a bigger bucket with power. A Caterpillar 983 crawler loader would finish off the line, Nicely
Looks like you purchased a good machine. Tracks look good,no extra smoke under load, no extra noise from hydraulics or transmission under load. Happy dirt moving.
As long as the operator knows how to run it. I’m not being and asshole or troll, but nothing I’ve ever seen this guy run impressed me and I’ve been running equipment for 25 yrs
The difference a good truck driver and a great truck driver makes is unbelievable! Cody is always wet because Labradors love water, I hope that you’ve got a video coming up where you get to use the 977 to it’s full potential and thanks for another great video 👍🏻
Yes! Another awesome video Andrew! Looking forward to seeing more of this machine. Love tracked loaders from that era. Always get excited to see the green 955 out on jobs. Best of luck with her!
Andrew reallly loves heavy equipment...his vlogs are always interesting...:) He is an inspiration to every hard worker in America. He has sth that is being lost..the independent guy with a can-do attitude!
I find it funny that andrew saying i will try to keep it short but its still a 16 min video when most uploaders content is hardly 10 min. Love the content of a genuine guy doing stuff he loves.
Most uploaders have an average view time of about 3-4 min so its not worth making a video more than about ten minutes. Andrew has no trouble getting people to watch his three plus hour snowmobile epic so for him a 16 min video is kind of short.
Andrew continues to make a very strong case for being the first overall draft pick when we're picking teams for the zombie apocalypse. I don't know if we'll survive, but I know we'll survive longer than everyone else.
I wish Andrew the best , i was just like him, until i had my accident a go too guy, not afraid too tackle any Job , hard working .. His video's i enjoy , some UA-camrs make a talk show out of their channels and it's a bore , i look for a video everyday , if not? i go back to one of Andrew's older ones , But that DOG ! Cody is funny ! always want's to help .. Levi was the same way .. Keep the videos coming Andrew ! no one else i watch gets these many views in lol 437,256 views ! awesome guys !!
Great video - I can't wait to see what Andrew builds for the car service/outdoor storage area. That will be epic. Maybe he will build an underground tunnel and put in containers that connect to his castle!
When Andrew says the guy is Good, you know he means it. Andrew is awesome and i admire him a great deal, he has a great work ethic, raised right, never takes anything or anyone for granted and always there if and when you need him or ask him for help. Sure the guys he grew up with and still his close friends can attest to that. Road looks great Andrew, I know you been after that for a while, and glad that you finally got a piece that can do the job... Inspector Cody seems to approve as well:-)_
Andrew, I think that you have arrived at the point where you might want to consider purchasing a rock crusher to make your own gravel for your own use and for sale. You have reclaimed so much of the cliff and use the tailings to create new level areas a rock crusher would be the ideal partner in your land development. Just a humble suggestion from an old man. You remind me of when I was young. Have fun and do what makes you happy this life goes a lot quicker than it should. 👍👍👍👍👍
in the tough stuff approach bluff with a slight raise in boom and tilt bucket down. When you hit bottom of pile you can wiggle n roll bucket back into pile and then drop the boom. Worked as a mucker underground gold mines forever - 7 yrd LHD scoop. Of course i was on tires...? You should invite me over and I will show u what i mean, lol. love the content thanks Andrew.
I mean, let’s really think about it.....this dude built himself a CASTLE. A metal and concrete fortress that will be standing for well over a hundred years.
Andrew I wish you would make your videos longer, I am an older person that used to be like You. Know All I can do is watch guy's wrenching and doing things thiere way. Got mad Respect for you Andrew.
Andrew you remind me of me in the 60's, you buy equipment for a small percentage of it's M.S.R., do the repairs it needs and then use it. If things happen you can recover all your cost and often more. In the early 60's I bought a Bucyrus Erie 550 swing hoe, paid $3,000. including delivery, I was ribbed by all my friends and they went out an bought 7 or 8 thousand dollar toys, twelve years later I sold it for $6.000., just about what I had in it with repairs, they were on their third or forth toy that now cost 10 or 12 thousand and none of their trade in's were ever worth more than 20% of what they payed. To be fair they never had to spend three weekends building a corduroy road to get out of the swamp.
Track loaders? Hah! Andrew just stated that he put a deposit on a Cat 988 and if thats true, then a semi truck with a flatbed will be next on the list because a 988 is fucking huge! Okay, he didnt say which model, but even the Model A or B are already huge and i totally dont think he will get a Model K or Model H since those are even bigger.
Christmas comes for Andrew every time he gets a new toy and the rocky hillside will be flat in a couple years! Good Job Andy - Thanks for another good one
I remember when this channel first started, I asked Andrew when he was gonna get a Patron Account he said never !!! I wanted to support the channel he insisted no. It’s nice to support him Through buying his Merch !!!! Andrew you need to save your pennies because next you’ll need a rooster 🐔 cruiser to haul that monster !!! That new machine needs to be christened I am sure you can find something that you can run over and crush. Great job Andrew !!!!
I want to thank you for telling us what you paid for it right away and without beating around the bush. Those small things mean so much to those that are currently interested and looking for similar machinery.
We had 8 dogs since the last time I watched you Andrew!!! (6 months ago). We've lost 3 dogs (to age and cancer) since then. And I made the mistake of tuning back in on your latest video!!! AHHHHH! Mistake! Happy to see you doing well! This video was therapeutic, to say the least. Wish I could binge forward. I'll be almost as happy to binge backwards...catching up on the last six months. Stay safe. Stay well.
Make sure you grease the lower bucket pins more frequently, and the two pins that are along the track, about every 5 hours. They will last a long time if you do. Don't forget the zerks on the throttle and the u-joint that connects the engine to the tranny. That u-joint is not fun to replace! Nice purchase!
The tough part often is that "If I had [this equipment] for [that job] how much easier/faster/more efficient it would have been." At least until you start thinking it through and remember just what you own that will pull a 30t trailer.
Huge fan of the Chanel. Its amazing what one hardworking man can do with the right tools and determination! Would love to see him in a Cat D11, he would be able to move that Mountain.
You got to appreciate Andrew on how he spends his UA-cam earnings. He doesn’t buy luxury stuff like most popular youtubers. He buys more used equipment so he can fix it and give us viewers more quality content.
Thank you Andrew.
He bought this in part with the $15,000+ he made on selling a broken roller on eBay
I did not get paid for that roller, that guy was a fraudulent bidder.

best thing about Andrew..never asks or cries for money...or buy this or buy that..thank you Andrew..u earn every penny
I’ll give credit where it’s due , I’ve only seen him mention t shirts and crap a couple times
He doesn't need to ask for money. He's so popular on here that the ad revenue alone pays for all his equipment he's bought recently.
@@Squad1993 Don’t forget he puts in the hours in doing his normal work
unless he needs to buy a replacement part for the bobcats. Every penny is too much. And each part costs a million dollars :-)

"I only ment to make it a little flatter, but I thought if I already do it then make it right, so nothing unexpected happens for no good reason"

I want to thank you for telling us what you paid for it right away and without beating around the bush. Those small things mean so much to those that are currently interested and looking for similar machinery.
We had 8 dogs since the last time I watched you Andrew!!! (6 months ago). We've lost 3 dogs (to age and cancer) since then.
And I made the mistake of tuning back in on your latest video!!! AHHHHH! Mistake!
Happy to see you doing well! This video was therapeutic, to say the least. Wish I could binge forward.
I'll be almost as happy to binge backwards...catching up on the last six months. Stay safe. Stay well.
It’s Friday and Andrew drops a new vid it really doesn’t get better than this 🤠
It sure does unless you have no life
@@nightSkyacc bro, chill.
"Andrew, can you flatten this mountain over here?" Andrew: "yeah, give me a minute" LOL!!!
Andrew buys new toy,tries it out moving a mountain,gotta love this guy and his machines
Home sure look's nicer with the trees turning green...Beautiful land!
I love the way those old Cat Loaders look, and thenold dozers as well. There's just something about them that looks so...menacing
Andrew: so I bought a big track loader.
Andrew’s mountain: shudders!!
LOL!
Mountain: Breaks for No reason at all
Make sure you grease the lower bucket pins more frequently, and the two pins that are along the track, about every 5 hours. They will last a long time if you do. Don't forget the zerks on the throttle and the u-joint that connects the engine to the tranny. That u-joint is not fun to replace! Nice purchase!
The tough part often is that "If I had [this equipment] for [that job] how much easier/faster/more efficient it would have been."
At least until you start thinking it through and remember just what you own that will pull a 30t trailer.
I love the 955 & 977 ran both in the 70s My favorite machine at the time ! Loaded a lot of trucks and burned many hugh brush piles
Huge fan of the Chanel. Its amazing what one hardworking man can do with the right tools and determination! Would love to see him in a Cat D11, he would be able to move that Mountain.
I don't know why but I could watch him pick away at that hillside for hours.
Andrew's ability to take it to the next level always amazes.
Andrew needed to move a mountain... he got him self a bigger machine!
I love all the big boys toys you have come to own.
What a beast!!! Nice buy man love those old track loaders
