Nice to see Levi teaching Cody how to supervise on a job site from inside the work truck since it's also an office as well and Andrew got their paw of approval on the sifting bucket too...🐾🐾
When's the last time anyone bought anything that didn't need work? For me, has to be 2005~6 when i got a Bosch drill. Then it just went down stairs from there. Alignment, repair, modifications to make it work as advertised. Just recently i bought a 6 way blade from Komatsu. Brand new. It did not fit the dozer it was parted for. I had to notch 4 mm off the blade's ears, and i never even thought, to call the dealer to figure things out, i just reamed it out to proper spec.
I am guessing he gets some of these tools at a very reduced discount or free (or maybe even sponsored) for use given his channel views. So, not complaining is kind of expected. Plus he goes rolls with most things anyway.
@Rob G true, but it also looks like the screened larger rocks could be used on some jobs for drainage stone ( I saw later in the video Andrew also noticed this), so i can see some applications where it would pay. I see more advantage using to screen soil. Around my area high quality top soil is extremely expensive expecially in smaller quantities. This would be awesome if you are not in a big rush.
Remember he uses this thing for free, so the Flip Screen company can use the footage in their marketing. Ive said before, Andrews channel has become the Top Gear of residential construction equipment
After 44 yrs of doing inspection work, I can tell you that the new screening device works well for placing fine material for about 12 inches above the pipe to protect it (filling the entire trench that way would take forever). After that, you could probably get away with your standard procedures with the excavated material to backfill the trench except for some of the 8"-12" rock that would be too big to compact even with a walk behind roller. Even with the fine material in the bottom of the trench, I'm assuming you're going to compact it with a jumping jack or a small compactor of some kind.
in the companies defense... There are LOTS of excavators in the world. they are all slightly different. But this Kubota Andrew is using should be considered the Gold Standard in north America when it comes to a MiniX and should be included in the parameters. my guess is Andrew was sent the implement to test/review and it might not be a finished product
Andy left an absolutely outstanding comment on the owners website, along with a 15 minute video on the owner’s website!! “This thing works great! The big advantage I'm seeing is you only have to handle the material one time. You can screen right where it needs to be. And they sell different size screens for it too. The brush keeps the screen clean and from clogging up, and since its not a vibratory machine, its not shaking itself apart the whole time. You can also screen directly into a truck, dirt in one and your rock into another or wherever you need it."
I remember last yr you bought one of these that operated with your skidsteer, and worked out great, and NOW to have one for the Excavators with the quick change is awesome! Can see that working well on a few jobs that mnight call for that application. Thank you for sharing, Andrew, God bless and Merry Christmas...
Merry Christmas Andrew and puppies! Amazing vids and love to see you working with FlipScreen. They’ve got some awesome portable tools for screening. Keep up the amazing vids! Merry Christmas to everyone.
This unit is going to take some patience to master. My first impression of an improvement in backfilling a trench would be to leave 2 or 3 feet of bare level ground on the machine side of the trench when digging. Then screen the material so that it flings the occasional bigger pieces onto that side of the trench. Then push the screenings into the trench , completing the backfill with the leftover unscreened material. It'll be interesting watching Andrew perfect his technique in the coming videos.
We can all agree on one thing Andrew is probably a really great friend, imagine having that one friend who can take things apart and fix them, that's probably Andrew
Definitely a nice addition to finish a job professionally. Back fill around and over, but especially areas like decks, patios, walkways, and foundations.
This attachment looks ok, we will see how the bearings hold up on it. I hope there's zerk fittings to grease it? My favorite part of this vid is when you open up the truck door and the two pups are inside chillin, now that is a proper work truck people. Loaded with tools and equipment....love it, this is a "working man's truck"
looked painfully slow, if small rocks were a danger, maybe sleeve the water line through a steel pipe, we cover our stuff with 6-inches of packed pea gravel, then backfill
What I love about your great ideas for the business is always getting equipment that makes for a better quality finished jobs. Wishing you and all of your family and friends a Merry Christmas and a happy and healthy New Year
Hello Andrew , you might be surprised but the ay you work is an inspiration for me . I play classical music , I play a multiple keyboards instrument .Between 2 exercises session , to relax, I watch one or 2 or your videos .The way you work , it is hard to explain , but I back to my instrument , I try to do the same with my music . First , I calm down . Second , I accept to work slowly though I have been playing music for over 40 years. I try to identifie each difficulty to give it the right solution and go on.You are an outdoor man . I'm an indoor. You are gifted in mechanics of all kind. I'm zero in this domain.I can watch you for years , I will probably be as good at the end as I was at the beginning.I'm sure you are an inspiration for many peoples in their domain , too. As long as it will be possible for you to give us your videos , please continue and thanks for them all. Have a nice life and be very careful with your health !
That certainly is a clever attachment. Sometimes on the job site you unexpectedly need clean back fill, this device allows you to make your own at the job site. Or make up a batch for an up coming job. That's pretty keen!
That’s what I thought. He screened a lawn with it. Another comment said that he didn’t buy this though and was sent it by the company for free, which would make sense since I don’t think the job he used it for in the video is what it was designed for. Screening a whole trench like that would’ve taken longer and been more expensive than a few truckloads of cracker dust.
I could be watching any other video, but there is something beautiful about a big pile of screened soil! And new toys are always great!!! Sure, pea gravel and such is good filler for a trench, but if I’m trying to sift a huge pile of compost or soil for gardening or lawn applications, this would be great! And this being so mobile as it is, screening what you already have in the spot you are working is a plus.
I’ve actually added two tracks from this AC’s video to my favourite music collection. No matter what kind of toy his boss gets Cody has skills to supervise any kind of job.
I don't get it why we didn'tget AC a Golden RUclips Button considering all the quality content he has beengiving us. Next Year 2M subs, who is with me?
I wonder if that screener was a gift from the company. I remember AC mentioning in the podcast that there were a lot of companies that wanted to work with him
Andrew is not one to go buying brand new stuff. I would guess that most of the brand new attachments you have seen have been comps from the manufacturers for the free publicity. Andrew does a good job of remaining unbiased and has stated he does not accept payments to promote the items. I am sure that gets harder to turn down as he becomes more popular and the offers go up.
AC should disclose it CLEARLY in the video, whether it is promotional item, or whether he paid for it himself, and whether he is affiliated with the company in any way. Having said that, I think this machine has lots of shortcomings - doesn't screen very well, larger rocks are being flung from it during screening, especially in the beginning of the process. Even doing one revolution over source material does not complete ensure this not happening. In short, I don't find this screener useful for professional, nor private user.
Can you imagine using that screen in your victory garden in the late winter or early spring? I’m getting a visual on some great healthy carrots and green beans.
You know it's bad when can't wait to watch a new Camarata video about screening dirt into a trench. Really like Andrew's videos, but I think I'm living vicariously through him. Merry Christmas Andrew!
I got one of Andrew's T-shirts for Christmas. I had no idea... isn't it nice when you wife pays attention to what you are binge watching on your downtime. Thanks Andrew.
I've never seen chocolate brown sand before until I came to this channel, every type of sand I've seen has been either orange, tan, light tan & white sand but never dirty brown sand like you have there.
Merry Christmas Andrew thankyou for all the content it's been a tough year for everyone and watching your videos has certainly helped me with the lockdown you are an inspiration enjoy the holidays bud
I'm thinking it would probably work better on a higher flow machine with the centrifugal force so the bigger stuff doesn't come out on the slower turns! But definitely pretty neat!
@cdouglas1942 : Exactly what I was thinking. Bring in a single load of sand and bed that pipe properly in half the time. That screener thingy is a classic example of somebody spending 5 bucks to save 1 buck. Another issue imo is Andrew filling the whole trench with screenings. If you're gonna do this at all, you just need 12" or so pipe coverage, place your locating tape and finish backfill with native material.
Especially considering how much material is lost due to the screening. It looks like 20-40% of the excavated material was rocks. That volume is missing from the filling later anyway.
@@TrailTrackers They don't have sand in their area so they have to get it from another county and pay the extra price as a result. I don't know if you noticed but there is snow on the ground which means any sand is going to be frozen with any melt that has seeped through it. Do you think Andrew hasn't gone through all this and the costings to see what is the best for his customers?
@@josephking6515 Exactly, and over time, it will pay for itself in the fact that every job you use it now you don't need to buy extra materials such as sand or gravel. You can use what is onsite. Plus, those big rocks he was screening out are an extra added bonus to the homeowner, they can be reused for landscape architecture, or if they have a ditch or area where there is a need for erosion control it can be put to use.
If there was a hydraulically actuated door that once you scooped it up, close it up so nothing can fall out and 100% of the material has to pass through the screen. As it is right now about 90% is being screened. Which is still great. Nice attachment. Clean fill is expensive. This will pay itself off in no time
This thing is good addition to your other equipment. It's definitely a high volume sceenning unit but for small volume landscaping jobs like yours. Plus if it's a free demo, that's a win/win situation ! Merry Christmast AC and to your family ! Let's all hope for a better 2021 year (starting on Jan 20 th.) 🤣
What we need these days is a lot more Andrew's and a lot less Wharton (or similar) MBA's. Andrew is a heads down get it done guy using his body and mind to assess a problem, devise a plan to correct the problem, implement the fix with no whining and evaluate the results. Today's mid 30's MBA know everything, are never wrong and always ready to blame some one else for their failures. I wish Andrew was close to me because I wouldn't hesitate to call him. Keep up the great work.
Ah, thought this was a reupload of the screener, then it dawned on me this is for the excavator and not the skidsteer, lol. Anyway, hope everyone has a great holiday tomorrow.
I think you might have bought a dud this time. I'm not sure how you missed it while editing this video together but that thing dumped dozens of large stones out when it wasn't supposed to, any one of which could have shattered that cold pipe if they hit it directly. Maybe its faulty design, maybe it's user error. I don't know, but if used as shown i definitely wouldn't trust it to backfill my pipes when they are cold.
It definitely still works for the majority of the time good for smaller jobs but yeh it’s just on the border line for me to start getting annoyed by a few rocks coming out ! I don’t think the soil would be to good for say raking n levelling ready for new turf
This would be great when creating a vegetable garden in that rocky soil. I had to hand screen three deep rows for my carrots so when growing, they wouldn’t branch as they encountered a rock. Thanks for the great year of videos. Merry Christmas and a wish for a prosperous new year.
That sure beats hauling in sand and all the trips it would take.... Nice tool.... Merry Christmas to your entire family... May the new year be kind to you... Thanks for the video....
It's fun to see all the new and different attachments you find and demo..... Some are really good ideas and other's well..... ??? Thanks for all you do and share with us all. Be safe and Merry Christmas to you and the puppies

, THATS 1 BIG ASS CAKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!👍👍👍🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👍👍👍
Your wife shudda said that.
I like when he gets something brand new and needs to work on it and doesn’t even complain about it.😁👍
He could complain, but he'd have to wait weeks for resolution, and probably end up modifying the equipment anyway. Just cutting out the middle man.
When's the last time anyone bought anything that didn't need work? For me, has to be 2005~6 when i got a Bosch drill. Then it just went down stairs from there.

@@androidethic yes in the interview video he says he gets some attachments free to use, the skid steer mixer was free
It’s because Andy is a doer!!! Why complain and waste the energy when you can fix it and move on. Great job Andy!
Seems like buying a load of bedding sand and just spreading it over the pipe would be a lot faster and easier...cool attachment but it’s slow
And pay for removal of soil
Well sand is expensive in his area
@Rob G true, but it also looks like the screened larger rocks could be used on some jobs for drainage stone ( I saw later in the video Andrew also noticed this), so i can see some applications where it would pay.

It’s not the fastest way to cover a pipe, but if you’re getting paid by the hour, it’s definitely a very safe way to do it
looked painfully slow, if small rocks were a danger, maybe sleeve the water line through a steel pipe, we cover our stuff with 6-inches of packed pea gravel, then backfill
Pretty inefficient if you ask me. But if no other decent backfill available, suppose its ok.
What would be the cost to bring in fill compared to using this screener?
It's just a new toy he wants to try out lol
And pay for soil removed
Oh and we also love Cody and Levi

it would ruin this channel
Just fantastic!! Merry Christmas and Happy New Years.. Work never stops brother!
Merry Christmas Andrew to you, your family and the pets :) Thanks for taking us along on such a great Journey.
Why is it so hypnotic watching the repetitive action in these videos?
I think you can call that product "not quite ready for production" or "still in development".
Yeah sure was a lot of unscreened stuff falling out and into the trench
It would make coin hunting a whole new idea
（＾～＾；） That would imply he's getting these products for free and not doing due diligence and telling his audience he got it for free.
In this case a dump truck load of sand would have saved a ton of money on equipment wear and tear and diesel.
I bet it works fine if you use it right. Either smaller scoops or slower first rotations.
Step 1: read the manual first.

Seems to me you could dump 5 yds of pea gravel (or sand) in that trench for a lot less than using that screener.,
As an Electrical contractor I would go with 18" of sand first. seems like an interesting toy perhaps for other uses.

What we need these days is a lot more Andrew's and a lot less Wharton (or similar) MBA's. Andrew is a heads down get it done guy using his body and mind to assess a problem, devise a plan to correct the problem, implement the fix with no whining and evaluate the results. Today's mid 30's MBA know everything, are never wrong and always ready to blame some one else for their failures.
I wish Andrew was close to me because I wouldn't hesitate to call him. Keep up the great work.
What a great way to make lots of lovely soft soil for planting and gravel for paths!! Have a Very Merry Christmas Andrew and Family!! :)
To you and your family Andrew,Merry Christmas from Winnipeg Canada! Or affectionately known as winterpeg!
I'm also from Winnipeg, and not sure about the 'affectionately' though.
Ah, thought this was a reupload of the screener, then it dawned on me this is for the excavator and not the skidsteer, lol. Anyway, hope everyone has a great holiday tomorrow.
i thought the exact same thing
Video where he got the skidsteer attachment: ruclips.net/video/aT9zPKMFmBA/видео.html
I wonder what did happened to his large electric screener, out of the 3i think it was the best one
@@patricelebrasseur5649 Clearly it is time for a screener review.
I think the skid steer one was better, more load and faster
Thats cool, it would make nice garden soil too! Thanks for the Christmas treat, hope your new year better than last.
Works very nicely. Have a Merry Christmas, Andrew!
I think you might have bought a dud this time. I'm not sure how you missed it while editing this video together but that thing dumped dozens of large stones out when it wasn't supposed to, any one of which could have shattered that cold pipe if they hit it directly. Maybe its faulty design, maybe it's user error. I don't know, but if used as shown i definitely wouldn't trust it to backfill my pipes when they are cold.
Lloyd star screening bucket definitely a better fit, but no doubt this bucket was a sponsor
big bites i think is reasone, when there was small amount of soil, it worked good.
It definitely still works for the majority of the time good for smaller jobs but yeh it’s just on the border line for me to start getting annoyed by a few rocks coming out ! I don’t think the soil would be to good for say raking n levelling ready for new turf
Im pretty sure he didn’t pay for it and like he said you can get finer screens if you don’t want small rocks
Merry Christmas Andrew,Cody,Levi and the rest of your family
Merry Christmas, Andrew! Neat attachment!
This would be great when creating a vegetable garden in that rocky soil. I had to hand screen three deep rows for my carrots so when growing, they wouldn’t branch as they encountered a rock. Thanks for the great year of videos. Merry Christmas and a wish for a prosperous new year.
Hi Andrew, love the videos keep up the great work
It’s a Christmas miracle!
That sure beats hauling in sand and all the trips it would take.... Nice tool.... Merry Christmas to your entire family... May the new year be kind to you... Thanks for the video....
That’s another really useful piece of kit Andrew, Merry Christmas to you and yours and your lovely dogs 🐕 Levi,Cody, and Sadie .
Hoping for a video on your new loader! Happy Holidays Andrew
What new loader?

It's fun to see all the new and different attachments you find and demo..... Some are really good ideas and other's well..... ??? Thanks for all you do and share with us all. Be safe and Merry Christmas to you and the puppies
I sure bet it's nice to have help! I do have to say I much prefer the solo jobs and tripod shots though! Merry Christmas everyone :)
