I have all those toys but it's still fun to watch someone else's thought process on how to organize the work and set up the job site, especially in time lapse without the unnecessary explanations you get with lots some vids. I like the use of the york rake for brush cleanup, not sure why I never thought to use it for that.
Hello, I just discovered your channel and right off the bat I have to say how impressed I am with your skills and the can do attitude you take to every job. As your a young man, I think you have the skills and experience of years of work. I like the way you shoot your videos, well done. Easy to watch, keeps me interested. I spent a few hours watching a bunch of your videos. I liked the container home your building most of all. I spent some of my youth on a farm in southern Minnesota doing some of the things you show in your videos. Now I work with computers and have long since done any kind of that work. I miss it a great deal. Being outside, handling the dirt and getting projects like that completed. Once again, I am so impressed with your skills.
Thank you for the nice message. I'm glad people enjoy these videos, I will continue to make them. There is a new shipping container tower video that's 95% done, I just want the video perfect before I upload it.
I know a lot of ppl are criticising the way you cut or push down trees,granted none of them are the “recognised”way of falling timber,but you do it with caution and some thought about where it might fall,and how to redirect it,plus your quick-that helps.I think it’s like driving your car,there are recognised ways of driving,but everyone has their own little quirks that aren’t a recognised way of driving. Just as a side note have a look at August hunicke’s RUclips videos ,they too are awsome. Great work once again Andrew.
I love how you show the F800 who's boss kicking the tailgate open! Great video man, logging with an excavator is so much more fun and safer! Thanks for sharing!
This video in particular is where I noticed things *began to click* overall; i.e. less bull-in-a china-shop and more attention to detail. After finding your channel approx a month ago, I hand picked 30/40 videos, and watched [oldest to newest], until they were gone; then I put *all the rest* in "watch later" [oldest to newest]; it's how I noticed the above. Knowing what you've become relating to work, it was possible to see the positive changes start. I pray that the same things happen for you in the rest of your life as well, I truly do; b/c you could have an impact. At 62 *I've had the t-shirts* you know; anyway glad you're visibly improving; *well done.*
Your final comment say's it all Andrew, and that was a good job. I was laughing when you loaded your poor ol' dump truck, I said to myself " he's not taking that load over a highway I hope!"
andrew; i know this was 2017. but, you dropped a couple of trees and almost hit your dump truck. your a smart young guy, you don't need to take those risk. old logger
You could have used some of those trees for a retaining wall behind the deck. Go 10' or so back from the deck and drill some holes with an auger and plant some pieces about 3-4' down, and up to 4' above ground. Use long lengths 10-15' laying down between posts. Bark needs to be stripped for pieces underground. If you can, spray or wrap against water.
will be interesting to see the Little house property in a yr or two with what happens next, does the house actually get it's addition? will the Garage ever be built?? wait and see...Have the laugh at some of the way Andrew loads his trucks...I would be worried on a rainy day with heavy rain that a lot of this hillside in the back of the home would v come down and ruin the deck, just saying the first thing I would be looking at is location and where the foundation of the home was going to be in reference to where the hill is located...thinking foundation issues later on, and making sure that foundation is sturdy and completely waterproof to any type of possible flooding or later cracking of the foundation..
I just assumed he took the saw to the wild-ends and trimmed them a bit before heading down the road. A DOT Trooper w his fining-capacity could ruin the profit on that job. Not to mention the safety-factor of haulin' wild-ends down the open highway. I love AC but as the owner of a GC firm I do worry once in a while. He's terrific however. BTW...Knitting that strong-cutback-grade w some kinda vegetation wouldn't hurt for erosion control. I assume the owner can handle that. In Penna we would use "Crown Vetch"..or similar....
Just a little advice you should watch a few of those cuts , one day you may not be as lucky and get that twist and kick back that you don't want. But do you ever use any wedges, they would work great on some of those trees . But I do truly enjoy the vids , We can see your a hard worker.Keep it up!
Very tall straight trees, lumber makers must love you. We used a log skidder that articulated in the middle, had a small blade for helping itself more than anything but it had grapples on the back and it grabbed the logs similar to your skid steer bucket and would wiggle between trees to a landing for trim and sort then haul. You kinda fit the description of a logger. No offence, and did you ever consider Hydroseeding?? A wedge and a jack in the truck for short trees that just don't want to fall with what top they have left to help the tipping process. We carried plastic wedges in side pocket or otherwise when we got in truck to eat or go home and forget the wedge or file and seat would pay. Plastic wedges don't hurt chain if you nick it. Great video
Next future invest is a chipper . U can chip the limbs , branches and small trees and blew the chips in the back of your dump truck . Den load the logs after .
That was my thoughts as well as a friend of mine was a tree trimmer here in SoCal and he was making $2000 to 3500 a day with big truck, 2 climbers, one laborer, chipper and a stump grinder. As good as Andrew is finding and fixing equipment he could get one next to nothing and put 4 hours and a few hundred bucks and have him a nice chipper.
That poor old '93 Ford is taking a beating, and i laugh when i watch you and that Yanmar and tractor in fast speed.That music like to got me... but after a half 5th of Jack i kind of liked it ..Hell, i thought your Yanmar broke and you was pushing down the tree all by your self... I got to stay out of that bottle... See Ya AF&AM
you can see in the last cut it does a bit of a barbers chair right when it leaves the hinge, but eh, let the man worry about himself, hes good at what he does
my humble suggestion is to find the husquvarna website and watch the videos on how to cut down a tree. jkay may know what he is talking about , and does in this instance IMHO, but who knows what he really knows. (no offense to jkay) plenty of professional videos to watch.
its safer to cut a notch in the direction you want the tree to fall and then on the other side do a straight cut towards that notch and put a wedge in that cut. prevents widowmakers.
With an angle back cut you have no control of pie cut (felling direction) but he makes up for it with his machine skills , no skider or chipper and he kicks some ass with those two machines
Great video. I will subscribe but i think it could do without the music. I think the only music it needs is the sweet sound of the chainsaw and machines in action
Hey Andrew, no it might be taboo but ,can you give us a call so taking them trees what you could charge? Just wondering? Nice video 👌. You do good work.
Terry from chch new Zealand, love us vids bro but I feel us should charge more and invest in a digger with rops and practice safer logging , as you tend too lack focused health and safety witch will catch ua out one day, you work hard and achieve good results but is worth nothing if ua dont make it home afta work. As a sole operation we can become over confident and laxed in safety, don't mean to be that guy but it's not if it's when shag. Health,n safety has gone crazy now days no doubt about that but if you continue working round felling trees and are not even willing to wear chapps or protection. Runnin to and from digga list goes on your gonna hurt or kill someone stop pushin ua luck bro, Wana se ua enjoy fruits of ua labour,
@@AndrewCamarata Oh ok,,, so the grubs get into them ,, we dont have many here only White Ants ,, but they dont like the hardwood ,, but have been known to get under the bark and make their track in the sap ,,
Andrew Camarata you are the man! In Ky they would pull you over even if everything was correct. You can't find anyone with a single axle truck here anymore because of all the headache they have to go thru. If you wouldn't mind, check out some of my videos. Not as good as yours but I'm learning. Keep up the great work.
Wow actually found one I hadn’t watched yet! What a treat. I enjoyed this series a lot.
Thanks.
That machine is an extension of you...amazing work. Great job.

Cutting down plenty of old dead trees...you're a brave man!
This guy must have loved your work on this property...I think this is the fourth(?) video at this mini house. Great work, as always, AC!

BarnStangz thanks.
Good job on the trees and dirt. Really liked the night shot with the stump removal. Music was a good fit for all the action.

The rake on the back of that tractor does an awesome job!
Tamping the soil was great.....shows you think about the earth too...Keep up the good work...thank you loved the film!
You make this look so easy, but I know it's not. I enjoy watching your work. Keep it up. I'm learning a lot.
Donna Spear thanks.
He does make it look easy, I assure it is NOT!

Exellent video. Thanks for sharing your wisdom and tips👍🏼
Thanks
One of my favorite parts... when you kick down the back gate!
You are good at what you do ,You are blessed 👌🏿
I like that rock rake!!!
super...james
You do very good work

Amo seu trabalho,seus vídeos são fantásticos quando te vejo fazendo uma estrada fico encantada
wow another awesome video
Thats a hard working man !
I bet after watching your videos a ton of people think they can go out and do it LOL
That guy has given you a lot of work.
That's so funny, I was on the way to commenting the same thing till I saw you had already done so. Great minds think alike?
That last tree is what's called a " Widow Maker"
Cleaned up very nicely mate
yo drew you and that excavator are like a magicians
I like your videos best regards from Germany
Thanks

I would’ve liked to see how you secured that first load on the dump tuck for safe hauling.
Usually use the tarp, then put ratchet straps over everything tight, then trim any branches sticking out.
The knack of stacking that lumber in the truck, you'll be a whiz at Tetris

SALUDOS DESDE ESPAÑA 🇪🇸 AMIGO 🖐️
i have to say that ur not afraid to load that ole ford single axle-ha!
Yeah, that truck carries anything.

Congratulations, excelent job.
that looks like the place you leveled out from the road to the tree line and moved all that rocky hillside then graveled it

Напилить досок, а через два три года естественной сушки- это зололото!
Andrew Its COOL Video
Next future invest is a chipper . U can chip the limbs , branches and small trees and blew the chips in the back of your dump truck . Den load the logs after .
That was my thoughts as well as a friend of mine was a tree trimmer here in SoCal and he was making $2000 to 3500 a day with big truck, 2 climbers, one laborer, chipper and a stump grinder. As good as Andrew is finding and fixing equipment he could get one next to nothing and put 4 hours and a few hundred bucks and have him a nice chipper.
On other videos Andrew said he had a chipper once and got rid of it as its very labor intensive
Your a machine just like your Yanmar. Work into the night,
Tree huger: "Mr Camarata. That tree has to be alt least 100 years old!" Andy: "Not any more."
Been watcing Camarata all day. I got to get a life.
Andrew ! young man put the money away and you will only work when you want!
FYI when your lights turn on , it’s a sign your camera won’t be seeing as good LOL or start looking for cordless spotlights.
I would have used a wood chipper and shot the chips back on the hillside to help with the erosion. Good video
nice one good job
Old video I know, but I'm catching up. 3:53 might be one of my favorite Andrew moments.
I recognize the concrete slab those sheds are on. That's from another video.
That poor old '93 Ford is taking a beating, and i laugh when i watch you and that Yanmar and tractor in fast speed.That music like to got me... but after a half 5th of Jack i kind of liked it ..Hell, i thought your Yanmar broke and you was pushing down the tree all by your self... I got to stay out of that bottle... See Ya AF&AM
Hi Andrew, we have just watched your video on finishing the windows top job, how much land is yours.
Removing those tress will cause all that dirt now to when it rains wash out all down to that house.
I think next you should get a quick attack logging clamp for the excavator :)
Your definitely good at what you do, Take my hat off to ya.
It would be a good idea to number your videos, Andrew.
Those angled back cuts may get you killed some day. It's a very dangerous practice.
you can see in the last cut it does a bit of a barbers chair right when it leaves the hinge, but eh, let the man worry about himself, hes good at what he does
jkay can you explain what you mean? Just curious so I don't kill myself LOL
my humble suggestion is to find the husquvarna website and watch the videos on how to cut down a tree. jkay may know what he is talking about , and does in this instance IMHO, but who knows what he really knows. (no offense to jkay) plenty of professional videos to watch.

That was weird... I was watching andrew and then I get an ad which was basically andrew trying out the Daniel grabber skid steer attachment.
Great video. I will subscribe but i think it could do without the music. I think the only music it needs is the sweet sound of the chainsaw and machines in action
No more night videos, all you can see is your lights. You seriously need a better noise background too.
Putting down those trees will certainly compromise the slope stability.
Wish I had your job man
Boy, you sure can pack that truck.
Cutting down bead trees lot of green on the trees for dead ones but I’m guessing he wanted them down to protect his home 🏠
Soil seems very rocky there. Have you ever screen to remove rocks and made a vegetable garden for a customer?
Just found your channel and subscribed. Like your stuff, keep up your good work!
....13
arkansas13 thanks.
I hope they did something to secure that slope after you left or it is gonna wash away just like the last layer did.
I told him to seed it, he didn't want too. It still looks fine, grass grew in on its own.
I need a beer, after.
Didn't know you had that rake attachment
Somebody should tell that guy that a cloth car cover outside will beat the paint off of a car. You're better off using black plastic....
He is suppose to be building a garage soon.
👍👍👍
Hi, Andrew what's that thing you used to scrap the branches together? Can it attach to a Ford truck directly?
Hey Andrew, no it might be taboo but ,can you give us a call so taking them trees what you could charge? Just wondering?
Nice video 👌. You do good work.
Love your video keep up the good work ps i sudscribed
Thanks

Wow, you right just like you talk.....
great video
Trees were dying cos roots had been exposed to sun, lack of water retention.
Yeah, probably, that was done years ago by someone else when they built that house. They left it pretty sloppy.
I am from Maine I would love to work with you besafe always
How did you solve the hang-up at the end?
I went back later with a chain, and pulled the tree down.
I just realised we humans are also ants.
Do you split the lumber with the land owner ? I see you get alot of board feet from your clean ups and other jobs.
Здорово !!!
Insanely interesting. What was the music on this one? Perfect.
Barr Regot thanks. Music is by MK2
Question?? for what reason does your trees die Andrew ?? I see your trees have no tap roots , is that the reason
Russell Clement a good amount of them are dead ash trees, a beetle killed them all
@@AndrewCamarata Oh ok,,, so the grubs get into them ,, we dont have many here only White Ants ,, but they dont like the hardwood ,, but have been known to get under the bark and make their track in the sap ,,
Andrew that man in that small Greenhouse must have you on retainer
Nothing I would like to see more is the comments from the 160 people that disliked this video.
Andrew you almost as cool as me
Красавчегггг👍
About how much would a person charge for something like that.
Just curious how you hauled those trees and the DOT didn't tear you a new one????
Because I am not over weight or over height and the load is secured.
Andrew Camarata you are the man! In Ky they would pull you over even if everything was correct. You can't find anyone with a single axle truck here anymore because of all the headache they have to go thru. If you wouldn't mind, check out some of my videos. Not as good as yours but I'm learning. Keep up the great work.
Blanton Enterprises I just rewatched this. I trimmed, covered, and tied those down off camera.
Andrew Camarata that would explain that. Would love some feedback on a few of my videos if you wouldn’t mind. I’ll take all the pointers I can get.
Can you tell me how many hours on each machine? I'm looking at purchasing that Ford tractor how many hours do they last
That tractor is only like 2000, I'm not sure about the excavator. They last a long time.
Aren't those too close to your truck?
You are awesome. Do you own all the machines you use?
Thanks, yeah they are mine.
you need to invest in making a wood chipper something like that diesel engine? Possibly a stump grinder
I had a chipper, loading the brush in a truck to bring to a burn pile is way faster.
Wood chippers are a pain in the butt
I am looking to add a thumb to my backhoe. Could you please recommend a brand? Mid quality.
I'm not sure what brand. Just make sure the thumb is the same length as the bucket.
