- Well we took off to Ontario for a little “vacation” to see Chloe and do a few other things while we were at it. Somehow we ended up back at work

The tiltrotator was invented by the Swedish company Rototilt in the 1980s. For the last 20 years almost every single machine over here run rotators. It is simply brilliant and very dependable. Im sure you will have a great time using it once you get the hang of it!
from a town called Vindeln
but the one he has on is from engcon and that is located in Strömsund where i live
@@danflytts
And this masterpiece Engcon are from Strömsund 🤘
You and your old man have a great relationship Brother Cherish it. 👍👍👍👍
We have our moments too haha I’m sure I’ll have some good memories watching these videos back one day
Everyone does, but from someone who never had the chance to hang out with their old man, enjoy it! @@MuskokaFreerider
And you'll wish like anything you could go back for one more ride together.
@@ryanlent always brother always
That’s pretty cool that you guys shred mountains together and work together. Cherish it matt while your Jerry is still healthy!
Could not agree with you more. I use to ski with my kids, but as age and artificial knees have slowed me downa lot, I snowmobile more often and my kids have not bought sleds yet, not sure if they will too considering the cost and bad winters (lack of snow) over here in the Northeast/ New England. BUT we still pull out the ole runner sleds when we have icy terrain and race each other downhill. Those days I wish I was 30 years younger....
I imagine Jerry reading this and thinking "I wasn't feeling old till Matt started posting these videos" :) Hang in there Jerry.
Hopefully you keep making excavating videos! I enjoy the snowmobiling videos but I’m also subscribed to 2 excavating UA-cam channels and enjoy watching both.
Great video Matt! Would love to see some more videos of you at work and other Ontario shenanigans😄
When you get good with the rotortilt, you wont need that guy with the shovel to put gravel on the hole with dynamite, you will easily do it yourself. Here in Norway, almost all machines in proffesional use have rotortilt.
As someone who does construction/ concrete work i love the content. Nothing better then getting a new machine and new toys
I may not be better at snowmobiling than you, but atleast i am better at using the rototilt 😂
For now..
As you said, here in Sweden you can almost not rent a mini digger without a rotortilt. The engcon factory is about 70 km away from were I live and I have been on a tour there once.
Jämtland!! 🤘🤘
they crazy expensive that why us canadian we dont have them alot hahhahha
@@zaxx1857
They are stupid expensive here in Sweden aswell, even if they build them next door..
But since we know how much better job you can do with them and you don't need a guy with a shovel we buy them anyway 😉
245 with engcon and EC oil is a dream setup dude. Congrats.
WOW!!!
Didn't expect to see this until the summer!
Finally 😁🤘👏👏
You could probably have a decent following and revenue if you either did summer job videos on this channel or if you made a Muskoka Excavation/Construction type of channel. Like you said watching good tilt-rotator operators is super satisfying, and lets be honest if you've seen on UA-cam the Ken White Construction channel, he's a Canadian guy as well and his channel is a really good size, definitely lots of public interest in this type of content. Plus Jerry would be a fun ass guy to see more content with other than only the winter content!
When I purchased my tilt rotator, I told myself, I will take it off in the winter to keep the wear and tear, as well as salt abuse from transport to a minimum. However I changed my mind quickly, I won’t run the machine without it. It just makes the work easier. Cutting through frost, excavation, backfilling and so on. I remove it only to run the hydraulic hammer. I’m sure you will change your mind as well.
Once you get used to the TR you'll hate going without it except when you're hogging material or ripping frost/stumps.
If the rocker switches for the controls don't feel right you can change them around. You can do it the quick way by popping the switches out and flipping them around or you can link your phone or a laptop to the little computer in the cab and change the direction the switches control, change what the switches control (ex if you wanted to change tilt and rotate functions between joysticks, etc). When my setup was new it just didn't feel "right" but after switching the controls around with the computer it felt more natural. I have my tilt and rotate opposite yours but it's all preference.
Regarding attachments, you'll probably find that the Engcon smooth edge ditch bucket, skeleton/sorting bucket, and their cable/trench bucket work well and feel "right" on the machine. I haven't tried it myself but have been told numerous times if you remove the bolt on cutting edge and only run the factory welded on cutting edge the ditch bucket works much better. Their digging bucket with teeth has weird geometry and is too "long" of a floor vs normal North American buckets. A lot of us have quit using the European style digging buckets in favor of normal North American style buckets with the S coupler put on the top. I use a Tag bucket but I know others really like Craig buckets along with CMP, AMI, etc. You'll be amazed at the difference with a conventional style digging bucket under the TR vs the weird European style. Also the Engcon/European style grapple is infuriating and don't trust it for holding a firm grip on something over anything important. Their single cylinder design with a linkage to control the other 1/2 of the grapple and no locking valves leaves a lot to be desired. Unfortunately many of us have learned that the hard way, a lot of guys have gone the way of putting a CMP non rotate grapple under their TR, it's on my list but haven't gotten around to spending the money and ordering one yet but every time I use the Engcon grapple I'm ready to spend the money.
They're a fantastic addition to a machine, especially for someone who's working by themselves, in confined spaces, or around lots of obstacles. They do have their downfalls but to me the pro's far outweigh the con's.
Amazing to watch these men work. Both are very adept.
I know nothing about construction so this was pretty cool to see. Curious to see you in a couple of weeks or months, you'll be fast and smooth with it!
Once you get used to it, the rotator is so much faster than a regular excavator.
I could see that
100% agreed
Awesome Matt !! We watch wherever you post ✌️✌️ love your relationship between Dad and Son 😍👌👏
Next year you should get a Catalyst 858 from artic cat
Don't see the point, gonna be the same price as the competitions turbo sleds without the turbo.
@@kents6746 no the catalyst are 17,000 without turbo and the other are well over 21,000 without turbo
Nice unit there ! Looks fun.
Let’s hope the weather cooperates with a few good reloads and March is epic. I just did 3 months remote camp work and finished up work for the winter. I’m patiently waiting for snow so I can ride around Revy for the next 1.5 months. Maybe see you out there once the snow flies. I’m heading out March 1st.
Always level the rotator. Take a front scoop and as you start to spin it around immediately level the rotator.
For that rotator switch you should be able to pop that switch out and flip it so left is spin left then right is to spin right.
Would definitely whatch more videos like this.
youtube.com/@freeriderearthworks8889?si=4peHqCMT-rnt3fVi
come to Idaho if you want some snow, in some spots we've got three feet!!!
Might do a little road trip
3’ two days ago, another 4’ last week! It’s been epic but the warm sunny days have been settling it a lot. Great in the draws and trees though.
Sorry you had to Bail on the west. We are getting pounded here on Lake of Bays . Maybe run into around here on the trails . Be great to run into you. Cheers
Wicked, id luv to run the rotator, the zero tail swing machines are sweet to run. I think deer are a smooth machine to run. Spent lots of time running Hitachi.
I’d love to come work for you guys if I wasn’t out west 😂 never tried the engcon but a lot of time with steel wrist and cat tilt rotators definitely worth the money on most machines! I’m sure you had it down after the first full day!
I'd honestly enjoy some trail riding videos too! And more of this!
Deal!
You guys should make a trip out east sometime would be wicked to see you in Newfoundland
Hey Jerry, Radar detectors are illegal in Ontario 😂
I got a $878 ticket in Manitoba for mine! ...bought another the next day.
We had to let Engcon go as a preferred partner. Their warranty dept was laughable at best. Parts availability and lead times were still reminiscent of Covid times and they just were not good to work with as a company.
Hopefully you have a good experience, because when things are good they are great.
Well if it’s shit service and warranty I’ll be posting about it hahah
Hope to have good luck with things though
Wow just can’t imagine how well those people are doing. Trudeau probably doesn’t like that and has already taken a huge chunk of their earnings!
I love the work/snowmobile videos…..I build pipelines as a welder, I’m around excavators everyday, those attachments would be super useful. But yeah Jerry might be right, $140k Uffda!!!
Nothing wrong seeing stuff other than snowmobiling
That’s pretty cool I’m a salesman for United rentals and I’ve never seen one on a job.
More construction if you ask me😃
have tou thought about ordering new sleds? would be really cool to see you run the new 858 next year🤟🏻
That slider door might cost as much as your snowmobile but you are far from poor.(I know you're not serious).The time you get to spend with Jerry's and friends in places (mountains) most people can only wish to be able to ride and see is priceless. That is one rich, happy place in my opinion. Keep up the best snowmobile videos on UA-cam 😊
Cool work! Safety first
Awesome acquisition brother!
Those heads are so cool
Big fan of the work side of the channel, keep it up!👌
If you take a knife you can pop the switches out of the joystick and flip them around so when you push it right the engcon goes right. For some reason they set them up backwards from the factory
Holy shit, you even got a Brandt Branded Excavator!!! 😱
Love seeing a little bit more background to your life other then just riding sled making it a little more personal
Once you get used to tiltrotator you can do so much more with just excavator. It takes little time to get it. Be carefull with tool change, ec oil system blows o-rings easily if bucket change is not made correctly.
Awww man so so sorry come up to AK and shred with us we got some pow up here man!
Way cool! I bet that was a pricey piece of equipment!
Not cheap no haha
Just a wild guess, your audience who enjoys watching snowmobiling videos is going to enjoy excavator videos too!
Most sledders are in the trade so would make sense!
Cool stuff. Funny because I love snowmobiling and do construction also. The rotator is awesome. Crazy money.
We do both on our channel as well as other outdoor activities.
Did you change the tilt and rotate controls already? you should do it before you learn to dig with them wrong way...
No. Someone just told me how though
I think you can do it with phone aplication, not sure about your equipment tho..@@MuskokaFreerider
Put a finger throttle on it and you would know exactly how to operate it!!
Every day, I am at work, working on multi-million dollar homes in the GTA. I have that feeling you had when you were walking through that house, lol.
Welcome back to onterrible!
yup, and that's just the cottage so can imagine their house in Toronto, and maybe one in Miami too :)
Yeah, for sure!
I'd enjoy finishing the inside of that place more than being down in the GTA.
Hey matt, I wanna do heavy equipment, have been told many different things of what to do first, like schooling, apprentice, getting in site experience, what do u think I should do first?
Grab a shovel. Start as a basic laborer and work your way up
@@ryanc1414 I’m already working with guys who do heavy equipment, and I’m 14 was wondering once I’m done school
@@carternesbitt509gobble up any chance you get for seat time. That’s all it takes. It’s pretty much just a big video game but you use your entire body. And there’s no restart button if you fuck up
That looks like so much fun! Heavy equipment looks like ALOT of fun!
dam climate change lol
We always knew Jerry was in charge behind the scenes. You finally admitted it. lol
… if you’ve been watching for a while I’ve talked about it many a time
If you look at the wrist in terms of how much less hand work you need, it pays for itself in a couple years just from that alone. the amount of things that are possible with that function that would be near impossible without it are almost endless, and the longer you run it the better you get.
I think you may have even underestimated the cost of that door lolol, I just moved back to dwight from being down south for 8 years, Back to building cottages!
Only done some digging for my self. Thankfully they all had either engcon or rototilt fitted. Wouldn't want to work without one, just that you can constantly change the angle of attack on the bucket and even when dumping it on a trailer you can be so much more gentel.
Mot videos like this!!
Blast blankets
Hey man I love the videos. I just started a couple purpose built duplexes in Orillia and I’m documenting the process, but I’m really struggling with the editing. How did you manage editing at the beginning? What’s your process now? Thanks!
I’m from Sweden but not an excavator operator. I drive trucks in a mine. Anyway I am curious since I have entertained the thought of moving to Canada (if possible), how much on average would someone operating excavators in your area make per month? In Sweden after taxes, an operator would make around 3200 CAD per month. I make slightly more in the mining industry. I still feel we are somewhat undervalued in Sweden….
I live in North Bay, we sold our 245 with a rototilt and it was ok, but mulching with a rototilt is hard on it, just violent, i love you can uncouple the rotator now. Your in Muskoka area and your basically in all rock most of the time so that function of removing it is great. We run a 336E with a big bucket, just a beat on machine.. and a 330 Nex Gen with a progressive link thumb and FAE mulcher; and then a 323 Nex Gen same thing just regular thumb, smaller mulcher.. and our 313 Nex Gen has the rototilt on it, fixed.. with a ditching bucket and its just a touch up machine we dont do much digging id like a trench bucket for it because the 48 inch ditvh bucket is abit big for trenches lol.. love ur content
Badass man. I definitely wish I had the hand/eye/foot/brain coordination to be an operator. Unfortunately I choose the path of fixing the shit you guys break 😂
Awesome video as always man. Love from good ol North Pole, Alaska
140K for that rotator?! You can get a decent smaller machine for that price. Somebody must be making money in order to afford a piece of equipment like that.
Is no one going to bring up the Cat or JD controls?
Just looked through all the comments to see if anyone said anything about that 😂
Rotators are so common over here in scandinavia :) a joy to work with :)
Since you’re in Ontario does this mean we might get a xrs turbo R vid soon ?
I'm gonna take a shot in the dark here, cuz I've never seen blasting mats, that you lay em over rock, for shrapnel from blasting rock.
in finland we be using roatators for years and that make work so much easier when you learn to use them, when you are working places what are small and l with homes it is must have
Would love to see some more backstories on the different trips that you guys take snowmobiling I always see you saying on this trip or on this trip here would be nice to know the backstory a little more about what trips you guys are going on so you're not always just guessing I am guessing what I am saying is be nice to be a little more personal with you in the different guys knowing what you're doing
See, this is what I wanna do for work equipment operated, but I have no contacts and I’m not even 18 yet almost there
I know this isn’t the usual type of vid this time of year but that was cool. Thanks for sharing.
and the sad part is that's just these peoples cottage...they'll have a 5 million dollar house in toronto, and maybe one in miami too :)
Tell your dad it will get him jobs he normally wouldn’t get and with the right operator it will pay for itself cause you need one less guy on jobs also
East coast Nova scotia / Newfoundland just got a good 2 week dumping of snow great riding conditions
Based on the snow conditions, it was difficult to know you left Revy - lol
When do you head back to revelstoke for the ride with the person who won the freerider ride experience giveaway?
Are you done snowmobiling in BC for this year. Because of bad snow conditions
I like watching you dig with excavator or sled.....
OK how long before Jerry bends the new machine. Opps sorry Jerry.
I thought it was a feller buncher at first, cuz I've never seen a bucket like that.
In finland you can find tiltrotators in every excavator its weurd if operator doesn't have it
If the roller seems to be the wrong way for you you can take the roller and frame out and flip it
Hell ya that would be good one to learn I’m used to a normal bucket and grapples . Quick change on the machine👌
Hose less quick change is the coolest shit 🙌
@@MuskokaFreerider yes sir no mess
getting spoiled with a brand new tilt rotator on a neww excavator. would love to try one some day
Great video! Can you try out arctic cat next Season?
rototilt, almost every one use that in norway too. On small machines 3ton+
One of my favourite videos so far this year 😂 sick machine
Nominee attachments are there that are good for everything
I am a little confused about the name of the company. What is the derivative of it? Thank you for sharing 😊
My dads business partner that started the company
Nice work
Your videos are entertaining no matter what you’re doing. Keep makin content for all of us to enjoy Matt 🤙😎. At least it’s white there , I’m north of you and it’s brown and green everywhere 😩🤦♂️. And you aren’t poor , you just choose to live a different kind of life. And me personally , I wouldn’t want that mansion with neighbours right next to me . Zero privacy for that kinda investment 🤔
About the only people who can afford homes like that are CEOs, NGOs, politicians and beaurocrats.
You're definitely not poor, Matt, with 3 or 4 sleds, Bombardier side by side, nice home and a great family.
Plenty to be thankful for.
Ofc you need some encon stuff 🤩🤩😉😉 //SWEDEN
And here i am, waiting for my new honda snowblower thinking... I spent a decent amount of change. Good for you guys investing in, and learning something new.
I saw the thumbnail and thought. " Cool, John Deere . Not even paying that much atention to the tiltrotator. ( We don't have John Deeres in Europe. )
Like Matt said, over here ( Sweden, Norway, Finland. (Europe??)) they are on pretty much every excavator. Ofc not the biggest ones, and the ones dooing really brute force work.
Don't get me wrong, those rotatingtilts will break! But it is really cool to see someone use it that has had the time to master it.
Not much need for hand shoveling. Brooming tops, and even then some of the machines have brushes they attach to the Encon. 😅
Stoked that you got to use one, and having and open mind on it.
Hope you get to use it some more.
Thanks for the upload.
( Those houses were insane btw. Guessing the view/location is nice )
hi from maine i work construction to
