This is the reason Andrew is such a good business person..He takes care of his equipment..even the little details...amazing maturity for such a young man..speaks highly of good parental support..
You should store your hammer vertical. The piston inside is probably 40lbs or more. They will deform the o-rings prematurely. Mine was on it's side for a few months and all the o-rings were flat on one side. I had broken one of the four through bolts (being a pig with it) and it blew out the seals between the stages. You could hammer the end into the ground and leave it like that.
I admire how you take older equipment ..repair it and acomplish..so much...for a fraction of the cost of new stuff....also a little hard work doesn't scare you away either...keep me coming
I would just like to pass along some good advice I’ve learned along the years about hammering rock. Always use three points of contact,one being the hammer point and the other two being each track. And never hammer with the cylinders being bottomed out,either fully extended or retracted. Just some things I’ve learned building highways throughout the northeast. Love the channel,keep on working!
I live in the mountains in South Dakota. Up here everyone uses big excavators for houses.. My excavator used a CAT 320. The entire basement was dug with a ripper tooth. He has quick change buckets with a hydraulic locking system. When he got to my Septic tank, it took him an entire day with a 6" hammer to dig the hole. It's in solid granite. I hauled 60+ loads of material for my djainfield over a ten year period prior to building the house.
you are doing well, cleaning things, I didn't get to get to be a multi millionaire buying a pig in a poke. I have or check myself every thing clean and service them accordingly, saves lots of time and money. You are on your way to becoming a successful business man, keep up the good work, your ethic are right on the money.
Andrew, every time I watch your videos I am inspired. Also when I'm in the pitfalls and struggles of my own work I think of your work ethic and never quit attitude and it helps me move forward. Thanks.
Andrew, friends like you are more valuable than gold. your helping a friend in need is not surprising and makes me like you and your channel even more. I can't leave a person in a pinch either. Great video and job.
I can see it all now. Your buddy, who you helped tremendously. Is one of those guys who under bids everyone else. And You are the guy actually prepared for this work . The problem with his backhoe was he ran out of fuel. You would never let that happen. You are a great friend. I wish we knew each other.
Had that problem before with a company I used to work for they bought all cheap diesel thinking they would save money but when it got really cold it gelled up like crazy I would almost guarantee he is buying some cheap fuel and it bit him in the ass like it did my old boss I mean I can't blame him the fuel price at the time was high and he didn't think nothing of it until shit like that happened and all his equipment and trucks were breaking down because of gelled up fuel including the one I was using I was so pissed along with everyone else running especially since it was so damn cold out rather be working then sitting out there in the cold messing with getting stuff running so in the long run it cost him more and he learned a valuable lesson. Great videos man, its always nice having friends that are always there to help out in a pinch!
Years ago at work watching a friend steam cleaning out under the cab floor of the john deere 544 articulator loader in cold weather like you are. I was standing by because he was about 10 feet in the air in the cab with the floor out spraying down into the body and we wanted to make sure he was not going to fall out because the cab was filled and bellowing out the white frosty smoke everywhere. It was hilarious all you could see once in a while was a arm or a head laughing he ass off, while standing there a cop car pulled up and they got out laughing some older lady stopped them upset that I was just standing around while a guy was burning up in this big machine, we had a good laugh and they went off to try and find the lady and let her know it was ok. There really was a lot of steam/smoke
Good job Andrew. I admire your professionalism especially for such a young man and the safety education. You are one in a million. Keep up the good work and reward yourself from time to time. 👍👍🇵🇪🐕

"Hammering a septic line". -- Or as we call it at my house, "Wednesday after Taco Tuesday".

Never in a million years would I think that it would be so satisfying to watch someone break up rocks!!
Andrew is really giving that pipe tunnel a hammering
Awesome team work

Always wear an apron when welding in a Carhartt - words to live by
Always love checking in on the hardest working man in America.
Love the end with the drone camera shot. Excellent

Very good story telling . Beginning , buildup , plot anticipation with a great ending . These are not videos they are programs .
