Jason Williams....what's a little cash to this man. These are billable-hours-in-reserve! One day he'll put Operators on them on a per-job price. That way the "AC-WAY" can be in two places at once. He'll thus leverage his brand and plow under the competition. His brand? " Do it right or don't do it at all..."
That's because he's a humble person, he doesn't start out with 30K / 50K machines. For those prices he just bought Two machines with a trailer & hamer, and we like to see a young person make it..See Ya
@@sterlingdavidgrasssr Yeah, it's the make and mend attitude I like too. I'm a bit of a high quality bodger myself and relate to the way he does things. There's nothing so satisfying than bucking the system and mending what others would throw away. You get a better result often cos you 'know' the machine. You save money and time and feel the glow of pride at what you've done. It's the way forward in our throw-away or bow-to-the-professionals culture!
same here. he is just a genuine hard worker and I love the fact that he is self-taught, just like me. long live the multitalented!!! Andrew, needless to say, dont get a big head now! keep being you buddy! when I do my youtube channel visits to the US, I would love to come and meet you and help out for a couple of days!
@@coadack5713 he definitley knows what he's doing. He's living the life and hoarding big boy toys for his big boy sandbox. If I had thousands to blow on random equipment I would do the same. It sounds like a fun time to me.
It seems more like negligence and improper maintenance by the previous owner, instead of Yanmar design flaw, given how out of adjustment the blade lever was, and how bolts were welded on the frame in his Yanmar repair video ua-cam.com/video/WLJiB-bkYMQ/v-deo.html. I think this video and the other dedicated Yanmar repair videos are the only Yanmar repair videos on his channel, compared to his Bobcat that contributed a lot of repair videos
These machines are basically free to him. He makes about half a dozen videos of fixing each machine, which pays for the machine. Plus he gets the residuals forever!
Since starting to watch Mr Camarata's regular videos life has two parallel experiences - reality and now an enriching virtual alternative lifestyle involving excavators, fixing stuff, clearing woodland, laying gravel roads, etc.
Andrew....Boy! I admire your attitude: Just spent $13,000+ on something, and the first thing you have to do is make repairs on it. I'd not be a happy camper, yet you roll with it so smoothly! "Hoarding"? wouldn't cross my mind You know what you can use for your own business. Go for it I wish you an incredibly happy new year. !!!
He's going to PT-operators. I see it coming. The AC-brand in two places at once when he'll otherwise lose the job. These machines "function like a new bird" so no sense in paying NEW for the metal. If something breaks down? He'll fix it at industry-level costs..not prices. A great success formula he has here. Those machines just sitting there are going to start talking to him..."Feed Me, AC! Feed Me!" They really are money machines especially if you have a brand to exploit. His UA-cam Reputation sure doesn't hurt either. He needs also to start buy beat up, raw land requiring a lot of cut and fill on it for his own account. Afterwards, drop modular homes on them and rent them out. Passive Income is key for him. I expect to see vids on this pretty soon. He will get a good price on badly sloped land etc. and his machine time will get arbitraged into nice retail residential values. His machines are more than just hourly-clerks this way.
That's short for an Andrew Camarata video, lol. He is one of the very few UA-camrs who I can actually sit and watch an entire 2.5 hour video and still want to watch more.
Keep your eyes open for buckets on Craigslist for the kubota. I see them all the time with the kubota designed quick attach in my area. Nice find on that kubota too. Great machine. I own one like it a few years newer but I’ve never had any problems with mine so far and love it. Great speed to size and also power to size machine. Yanmar is also great machine. But the kubota will serve you well well worth even rebuilding motor and a new pump if ever needed. Still way ahead. The best thing you would like to have for that kubota is a 3’ smooth edge bucket. I use it most and enjoy having it around. I don’t dig with it but loading and grading it is well worth having. Thanks for the videos Andrew.
Not sure what I like more, the fact that you are fearless when it comes to these used machines or the fact that you problem solve like Macgyver. I have never seen anyone duct tape an excavator before but I loved it. Hope the new machines work well for you. Considering what you gave for them, I do not see how you can go wrong. Thanks for the video.
The true measure of a video channel is possibly when the viewer, whose life bears little or no relationship to the content they are viewing, find themselves watching forty minutes and more a day of video on a subject as niche as making quick release bucket attachments, delivered by one man and his dog. Absolute quality Andrew. Thank you, and looking forward to what's to come.
As far as interesting content goes,..he's certainly is in the top tier, however I don't know who would be up there with him. It depends on what interest's the viewer I suppose.
His videos are unmatched for sure. Instead of doing a video one particular subject or item, it ends up being 30 awesome as hell topics rolled into one video.
I know you of all people don't care about the hours because anything that happens to them guarantee you can fix it. Two great additions Andrew good job.
Hey Andrew. Nice machines for your growing fleet. I found it interesting when you attempted to split that pine stump. I thought to myself " what if he welded up one of those 4-way splitters like on his log-splitter and fixed it to that old chisel point?" That might work and save you some time stumping in your pile. Great vids!
The Kubota has an actuated thumb. I think this is your first machine with one of those and somehow I got the feeling that this will become your favorite machine soon.
Dude you are my hero. You work your balls off constantly and you get screwed on damn near everything but still manage to continue truckin right along. It amazes me that you dont smoke, drink heavily (that i know of) of even swear in your videos. I've watched so many of your videos and there has been so many times I would've looked at the camera and said "Well fuck" your my hero man
Congrats on the new additions to the fleet. In that rocky area a hammer is a great addition. Work smarter for sure. Save a lot of your time not having to double haul machines back and forth. Cheers from B.C.
I find it truly amazing that you find the time to do all of the projects and jobs you do and still do a pretty amazing job editing all of the video that you shoot and post. Also, kudos for all of the awesome drone footage!!
Thanks for another great video Andrew. Your videos are unmatched by anyone. This segment alone could make 30 run of the mill videos for regular folks. Definitely top notch all the way - always informative and great content.
I discovered this channel while watching heavy construction equipment videos with my 3 & 1/2 year old son, who is obsessed with machines. Now I'm hooked.
At first I thought you were saying, "Screw the pins, I'll just Gorilla Tape the freaking thing on." Then I realized the tape was to hold the pins in place. XD
Andrew I enjoy all your videos. I am hooked on them and watch them over and over. In a number of them you are helping others or they are helping you and all of you are in the same business. I am 84 and you have me working around my home and Going to Harbor Freight Tools and Home Depot. Thanks.
Love the use of music during the sped-up sequences. Makes it much nicer. I have never owned a breaker, although I know what it is like to jackhammer rock with a hand-held jackhammer. It wears you out, and is slower than those excavator-mounted breakers. I have only previously watched giant excavators with giant breakers working on hard bedrock. All rock is different, so I know that I cannot translate this performance to my rock, but I get a rough idea. This is helpful.
His work, he gets credit for job well done. Makes good videos and he speaks clear American English. His voice is pleasant to listen too! If he was in Susanville,California he would be my 1st call.😊🤝👍👍👍🙏👊
I know in the Army we used jack hammers for other things besides breaking up rock, concrete, etc. There was also a spade shaped attachment, which could be used for hard ground, such as clay, which was almost impossible to dig with a hand spade. Possibly you could use a similar attachment dig into the ground, but also to cut wood.
MV Master really dude. Why would I want to murder my favorite UA-camr. I’m not some wacko California messed up in the head kid. I love heavy equipment and one day want to own a business like Andrew. People like you are what we have to look out for. Just saying. Not trying to argue.
Andrew lives in my era . i couldn't believe there a big UA-cam person in my era . most the time i watch cars stuff like sports cars or Exotic cars,dirt bikes,snowmobile .
Andrew I highly recommend you start using water mark’s or logos of your name or your company’s name to label your video’s. This will definitely help with the problem of people stealing your videos and sharing it on their channel. It may not stop them from sharing them but it will definitely redirect users to your channel instead of subscribing to a scam account.
I'm excited you bought us some new equipment! Leroy always bought used equipment. He said new would last 40 years. Used would only last 35. He was 65 when I went to work for him.
Dude! What an idea! Yeah, you guys are saying, "No duh, Wave!" Hey, I ain't no equipment operator... but I've installed LED light bars on sailboats. They turn night into day! And only chow a few watts!
enjoyed the video on both of these machines, and like the fact that you can NOW widen youre roadway now, using both machines instead of jumping on and off and constantly changing between the bucket and the hammer...
Me and my four year old sun started watching your videos on Christmas day....uhmmm we kind of watched them all ....... So make.. and put up new ones!!! We love them!! And can wait to watch the next .. Great to watch and keep it up! Greet from The Netherlands
You seem like a really level headed man which I love. U can stand back and weigh the hours on the machine vs the utility to you vs what the price reflects and make decisions and live with them. Awesome skills for your age especially
Those would be 2 real nice machines if the bushings/pins in the booms were done, and the Kubota had $70 of orange paint sprayed on nicely . They don't look completely beat to crap like some of your machines, if you did the tidying up/service work on them you'd never know they had that many hours. Yeah I know that stuff don't pay the bills ,but those 2 machines right there would show your company's really going somewhere with better equipment. it might make your days better operating not hearing all that loose stuff rattling around to. Good luck with them and I hope we see more of them working well for you. Thanks for the video, take care
Andrew - your videos are so captivating. It's refreshing to see you take pride in your work. You're lucky to live in such a beautiful area, it reminds me of my home in Scotland, UK. I'm looking at some of these huge trees that you remove on jobs and wonder if you've ever considered building your own log cabin? This is something I think you'd enjoy doing given enough time. Keep up the fine work, you're a top top fella. Darren
I am glad I found this video .Just bought some property and have some drainage issues on it .Now I know what to expect when they fix the problem .This looks like fun .Now I want 1 .
it was no need in fixing it. we could get through the rough spots just fine. it does show you take pride in your videos though to go through all that trouble. I hate it when I publish a video and then realize it has a bad spot in it. loss sound or some other glitch. still wanted to stop back and let it play again so you get the view count back up.
Nice! Those were both good finds. I never thought about hammering a stump. I'll have to remember that. I like how you don't hesitate to tackle anything, So many guys don't know where to start in replacing a hose or adjusting a valve link. You must have farmer roots :) DIY is the only way to be highly successful in an Owner/Op. We enjoy watching you work.
this man is MY kind of guy. I grew up in country western NY state My cousins and I had acres and acres of fields and ponds formerly used to freeze and "make" ice in winter.. But our BEST play days were when there had been hvy rain nite before a saturday day off from school.We would be up early inhale our breakfast of oatmeal hot cocoa and cinamon toast. get dressed in warm clothes. big boots and pointed long handel schovels hoes and rakes, cousins would join us and we would be good for the day, never got cold, never dry.My grandfather called us my little hydrolic engineers. We would spend days building dams, diverting water courses.We were in hog heaven in the mud. WE learned very early that our best tools were our brain and two hands.machinists,mechancial engineers ,electricians,bldg contractors a couple of architects.In later years as adults at family gatherings we would be rolling in the floor remembering those days before tv
The only thing better than a Yanmar is two Yanmar’s, upon professional inspection Levi gives a triple tail wag! Good thing Levi didn’t see the hose blow lol 😂
This is the first of your videos I’ve seen and I really enjoyed it. I’m sure you know this but just in case, make sure you grease the hammer point really really well every time you use it. Hold the point in towards the body and grease until it purges (otherwise it will push the point out with grease and then when you activate the hammer it will blast grease everywhere). You have a new subscriber. Thanks for the upload
Geez Andrew you need a couple operators to help run all that equipment. You're almost to the point where you start worrying forgetting a machine on a job
Hi Andrew, I had a problem with my blade not picking up the machine, the blade would also slowly drop down as I tracked. It was the seals in the "Live Swivel ." The Live Swivel transfers hydraulic pressure from the "house" (upper part of excavator) to the lower portion to drive the tracks and blade, and in the case of my Bobcat 322 the expandable tracks. The Live Swivel seals will leak off pressure to other accessories when they go bad. The Live Swivel is in the middle of the house where it rotates. I removed it, rebuilt it, and now the blade lifts the machine fine and the blade does not leak down when tracking. Hope this helps diagnose your issue if it is related.
Was at an auction yesterday , the excavators went for well more than what you paid but fewer hours on them Thanks for the video- I am looking to get one and it really is good info- Ill keep looking for an older machine. You da Man, keep your posts coming. Thanks.
"Some people would consider this hoarding." *Eight jet-skis in the background.*

They are probably just donner or parts go toos
And so what....let the man hoard. He has earned the right. Ha ha ha

The amount of memorable quotes from this man.
"Alright look at that, that looks-uh terrible"
3 seconds later
"Alright let's go hammer something"
Yep. It's the perfect mix of half ass and professionalism. I love it.
“Hey there’s this excavator for sale, you should go buy it. So I kind of... um bought it.”

Also, a trick to avoid getting dirt into your couplers on the breaker is to connect them together when the breaker's not in use.

Figured there be a repair somewhere in this video. You didn't disappoint me. Boy, that has a heck of fluid reservoir.
I love how you tow 20k pounds regularly with beat turd of a truck. Keep up the awesome videos.
Morgan Freeman Voice: To this day the duct tape still holds those pins!
I love the way you motivate yourself and you don't leave things to do for another day you deal with each problem right there then
I am a big time Kubota Fan. Great purchase Andrew!
Those would be 2 real nice machines if the bushings/pins in the booms were done, and the Kubota had $70 of orange paint sprayed on nicely . They don't look completely beat to crap like some of your machines, if you did the tidying up/service work on them you'd never know they had that many hours. Yeah I know that stuff don't pay the bills ,but those 2 machines right there would show your company's really going somewhere with better equipment. it might make your days better operating not hearing all that loose stuff rattling around to. Good luck with them and I hope we see more of them working well for you. Thanks for the video, take care
20:38 duct tape will fix every man’s problems no matter big or small. I keep a roll on my ATV and UTV at all times 😂
old Aussi saying If it cannot be DUCTED ITS Fucked
Andrew - your videos are so captivating. It's refreshing to see you take pride in your work. You're lucky to live in such a beautiful area, it reminds me of my home in Scotland, UK.
I'm looking at some of these huge trees that you remove on jobs and wonder if you've ever considered building your own log cabin? This is something I think you'd enjoy doing given enough time.
Keep up the fine work, you're a top top fella.

I am glad I found this video .Just bought some property and have some drainage issues on it .Now I know what to expect when they fix the problem .This looks like fun .Now I want 1 .
it was no need in fixing it. we could get through the rough spots just fine. it does show you take pride in your videos though to go through all that trouble. I hate it when I publish a video and then realize it has a bad spot in it. loss sound or some other glitch. still wanted to stop back and let it play again so you get the view count back up.
Thanks. Yeah, ill make sure to watch them threw before publishing. This was a new problem. I know what caused it though.
@@AndrewCamarata what did I miss? what are you talking about?
Screw it, I'll watch it a second time lol.
Or a fourth time? LOL!
On my 3rd time!!!
Same here
Can't help it can you ?? Me to , See Ya
It’s my fourth XD
Nice! Those were both good finds. I never thought about hammering a stump. I'll have to remember that. I like how you don't hesitate to tackle anything, So many guys don't know where to start in replacing a hose or adjusting a valve link. You must have farmer roots :) DIY is the only way to be highly successful in an Owner/Op. We enjoy watching you work.
this man is MY kind of guy. I grew up in country western NY state My cousins and I had acres and acres of fields and ponds formerly used to freeze and "make" ice in winter.. But our BEST play days were when there had been hvy rain nite before a saturday day off from school.We would be up early inhale our breakfast of oatmeal hot cocoa and cinamon toast. get dressed in warm clothes. big boots and pointed long handel schovels hoes and rakes, cousins would join us and we would be good for the day, never got cold, never dry.My grandfather called us my little hydrolic engineers. We would spend days building dams, diverting water courses.We were in hog heaven in the mud. WE learned very early that our best tools were our brain and two hands.machinists,mechancial engineers ,electricians,bldg contractors a couple of architects.In later years as adults at family gatherings we would be rolling in the floor remembering those days before tv
Thanks for fixing!
The only thing better than a Yanmar is two Yanmar’s, upon professional inspection Levi gives a triple tail wag! Good thing Levi didn’t see the hose blow lol 😂
Great video, awesome deal you got on both of those excavators.
This is the first of your videos I’ve seen and I really enjoyed it. I’m sure you know this but just in case, make sure you grease the hammer point really really well every time you use it. Hold the point in towards the body and grease until it purges (otherwise it will push the point out with grease and then when you activate the hammer it will blast grease everywhere). You have a new subscriber. Thanks for the upload
Andrew is making me want to go out and buy an excavator.... But I'm busy buying guns that aren't legal in NY State....
Why? Just buy a drill press..
@@@dand33911 cant punch holes at 200 yrds with a drill press!! :-)
@@04ramtuff
You can make as many as you want, for yourself.
@Dan D will do and its fun... 30rnds at a time buddy
@Jack the boss which one boss?
Oh man! I almost bought this machine. Now I gotta watch and see what I missed out on!
Sam Hayden that’s funny.
Love your videos man totally inspired me to sell my fancy financed work van and buy a beater outright lol
this is the kind of video you watch in the middle of the night, when you have an exam the next morning.
"Opportunity is often overlooked because it comes disguised as hard work." Yeah, not for Andrew....
Geez Andrew you need a couple operators to help run all that equipment. You're almost to the point where you start worrying forgetting a machine on a job
If you git got enough to make you happy, don't worry what other people think. The more the merrier. Ride on.
Who knew that stump was going to get stuck on the tip hahah? Good video man, my favorite channel by far!!
aw man, you didn't show the pressure washing? :C watching stuff get clean feels so good! xD Maybe next time!
ever childs dream is to have such a playground
If you enjoy what you are doing you never work a day and if you can have fun working you have it made. I love what you are doing Andrew!
Great job your doing. You can never have to much equipment the more you have the easier it gets.
Grease the machine please those pins come out dry
Hi Andrew, I had a problem with my blade not picking up the machine, the blade would also slowly drop down as I tracked. It was the seals in the "Live Swivel ."
The Live Swivel transfers hydraulic pressure from the "house" (upper part of excavator) to the lower portion to drive the tracks and blade, and in the case of my Bobcat 322 the expandable tracks.
The Live Swivel seals will leak off pressure to other accessories when they go bad.
The Live Swivel is in the middle of the house where it rotates. I removed it, rebuilt it, and now the blade lifts the machine fine and the blade does not leak down when tracking.
Hope this helps diagnose your issue if it is related.
Do you have to separate the machine at the center bearing to make that repair?
If it doesnt leak down too much when lifting up the machine then the swifel isnt leaking
@@kgraydakota sometimes you have to, but most of the time you can pull it out at the bottom
LOVE YOUR WORK AND YOUR ETHICS!
Enjoyed this video. Really like your Kubota mini. Seeing this makes me want a mini.
Can you do a video of all your equipment and stories on how you bought them
Check out "How I got started in excavation"
For those that don't know, the freeze started at the 29:00 mark on the video.
It was some of the better hammering shots, that's why I felt it needed to be fixed.
@@AndrewCamarata, Thanks Andrew but it was still awesome !!
By me, the freeze in the original Video was only at 31:00. At 29:00 was all fine.
the yanmar looks like it has really new tracks .Great work.
Was at an auction yesterday , the excavators went for well more than what you paid but fewer hours on them Thanks for the video- I am looking to get one and it really is good info- Ill keep looking for an older machine. You da Man, keep your posts coming. Thanks.
