    And just think; this guy started with just a riding lawn mower, a sedan, and a utility trailer. He invested the money he made mowing lawns instead of blowing it, bought more equipment as he took new kinds of jobs, lather rinse repeat, and here he is today with every "toy" anyone could want not to mention a freaking castle! More power to you, man!

      @@rsdna9698 Some areas of youtube do better than others, financial channels for example make significantly more than most. But for most of Andrews youtube career he has not been raking in money. He has grown enough now where I am sure he is making a healthy amount, but it still won't be that impressive. He wasn't very big even two years ago so I don't think I would contribute youtube to much of his success.

I love to watch your videos, because you remind me of ME when I was younger! I was never afraid to tackle a problem and find a resolution. I went to work for Sears as a service technician out of the Navy in 1969 and ended up taking every course they offered on everything that we repaired like washing machines, dryers, refrigerators, freezers, air conditioners, televisions, stereos, VCR's and even garage door openers!

    One thing I can say about track loaders in general: they are the most UBIQUITOUS machines one can possibly have!
    While they may not be 'ABSOLUTELY PERFECT' for EVERY POSSIBLE job, they're really quite GOOD at SO MANY jobs that if you just UTTERLY HAD to be limited to a SINGLE PIECE of equipment for a big job, THEY would be the ones MOST LIKELY to fill the most needs, to the greatest extent.
    You can shave, rip, trench, load, lift, grade, haul and compact with them.
    Again, not as perfectly as any one dedicated machine, but well enough that they can do ANY GIVEN one of those objectives, whereas some of the OTHERS are LIMITED in some manner or another.
    And while I DO some day want more machines, I knew I HAD to start out with a track loader, simply because it was THE ONLY ONE MACHINE which I knew I could get the MAJORITY of my work done with.
    I am sure other people will disagree with me on this, and no, before they say anything, I'm NOT going to bother arguing people about it.
    I accept that we all have our own points of view on life, and lets just let it be an agreed upon disagreement if you believe otherwise, because even if you say anything about some other machine, or just how stupid, deranged or ignorant I am, I'm just not going to waste time arguing the point.

    Hey andrew, great video and a little tip. A few years ago my Dad decided to change out most all the seats on pretty much every piece of equipment we had on the farm. Before installing the seats, on the backs of all the seats and arm rests he sealed all of the wood with penetrating sealant. Really should make the seats last a lot longer if you're not too rough on the fabric.

    If you want to fix the stiff top roller problem you can drain the heavy oil out overnight and refill it with some lower viscosity oil like 10W 40 or transmission fluid. The interior clearances on a new roller are small and they usually come prefilled with gear oil. This makes them resist movement. It is easy to get a flat spot worn on a new top roller especially if dirt and mud gets packed around it because it is already difficult to turn due to the thick oil they use. Top rollers should come prefilled with a lighter viscosity oil.

  • @williamwalsh7128
    @williamwalsh7128 3 роки тому +21

    Hi Andrew, I noticed while watching your video that you run this machine with a very flat bucket, actually it’s about where the bucket leveler kicks out. You should dump the bucket forward so you can almost see the teeth from your seat. This has a tendency to push the bucket down as you move forward, as well as putting pressure on the tracks. When the bucket is flat or partly closed the forward motion tries to lift the tracks which gives you less traction and easily lets the tracks spin. Like a rubber tired loader if you put pressure on the front tires while closing the bucket you won’t have tire spin and you can usually fill the bucket. You do nice work and you make good videos. All the best Bill W.
