The freezing cold and frozen mud and ice make an already difficult job even more difficult. BUT Andrew always gets the job done one way of another!! 👍

I don't own a single piece of equipment, nor do I work with any in my daily life. However, after watching so many of these videos, I am convinced I could at least partially replace a track on a skid steer.

Great help giving you a hand with this job in the cold. Frozen mud doesn't help with a tough job, but you both got it done. The young lady is doing well on the equipment, and hope to see more of her in the videos, not that we are tired of Andy, just glad to see a helping hand.

My salute to the young lady working with you Andrew. She seems very talented. Always learn and love your videos. Good job guys! From Canada 🇨🇦

Andrew, that girl is gonna save your life. She is competent and will prevent you from doing your idiotic suicidal stuff like jumping from one moving bulldozer to another. You can only do so many tasks as aone man band, you need her more than anything.. that kind of commited girl is quite rare. Your channel can only sustain you in the short term, you need that partner.

Glad to see your partner again. She will be a good operator in no time

Looks fun in the snow, glad I live in Australia 🇦🇺! Is awesome to see the young lady working with you, she seems a super hard worker and look forward to the public getting introduced one day.

Andrew has so many cool toys that I'm always surprised when he pulls one up that he hasn't used in awhile 😁

What an awesome way to start the day. Thank you Andrew for keeping us entertained.

She's a keeper, Andrew. Jumps right in there and willing to do any job.

Andrew, thank you for making videos. I was a big fan of the 3.5 hour one, and these shorter ones are easier to watch on my lunch break. I can't wait to see what you have planned for the mountaintop!

Hi Andrew, your videos always brings the biggest smile to my face. Just seeing the notification that you have uploaded makes my day. I just wanted you to know that.

You really do love sharing your skills with other people Andrew now that is a good thing

Man, all the different camera angles you give us in just the first 2 mins was a lot of work on your end. Thank you for giving us your time, Andrew!

Just sharing what I did. I was a one man winter logger in NY state. I always hated cleaning tracks at the end of the day. I started parking on two logs and built a cheap plastic hut around the dozer. I used rough cut lumber and heavy plastic vaper barrier. I got to the site before daylight fired up the generator and stuck my heater inside the hut. 45 min it was 70 inside and I was ready to go to work. Winter days are short I was able to work till dark and start at first light. It was very easy on the dozer, all of the fluids were warm, started without effort. I wasn't as tough as Andrew!

I lived in Alaska in my early years and loved it for the most part but man now that I'm in my 60s and living in Texas, there is no way I would move back to the cold country. We have had a few weeks of cold and I'm so freaking sick of it I could cry. I guess I'm just a big wuss now but I think that comes with age. I'm like Levi was when he was 14, when I would watch him getting around I was like "I feel you bro" lol. I hate the heat too but not as much as the cold. Love all your video's!

Wake up at 7am where I’m at and Andrew Camarata comes on, this is a great way to get motivated and start the day, love the content Andrew.

After watching you for several years Andrew I got up the courage to rent some equipment for a dirt-moving project and it was so much fun!! Now I am a "recreational" equipment hobbyist (I can't say operator I am not that good) I have run skid steers and smaller walk-behind machines. The learning curve wasn't nearly as steep as it could have been if I hadn't seen all of your content. I was able to think through the project based on how Andrew does it and they all went great. Thank you for being an inspiration and helping an old jaded IT guy learn some new fun skills!!

When I worked underground at the now closed Dome Gold Mine in Timmins ON, we had two Kubota KH41 mini excavators for mostly ditching jobs to keep the rail trackage in good shape. Due to the average size of the drift (underground tunnel) about 10'x12', it was a difficult job to change-out a Kubota track, all manually and 2 workers using 4' scaling bars to rerail the rubber track, and a 'lot' of swearing too! This job was something me the operator of the Kubota and the required mechanic 'dreaded' to do because of the drift size constrainsts, mostly....thank god doing this was a rare occurence!🤔😭😠

It would be awesome to see all of Andrew's machines lined up!

A roof between two containers would give a sheltered place to work on these machines in the mountains. It would also protect 1 or 2 from the weather. 👍👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

I like how Cody when asked where the log is, runs right over to where it is and starts digging in the snow for it. And then when Andrew says something about the sunset, Cody looks right up at it. It’s funny how dogs can understand a lot of what people say but we can’t understand anything that a dog says to us.

The cinematic pacing and minimalist narrative is epic. All tutorial channels could learn a thing or two from Andrew…

I would think with all your machines, there's A LOT of maintenance... & NOT all fun and games... Nice 💪😎

A semi restoration of that old D7 with the pony motor would be awesome and something a ton of people would want to see

That Rock that saved the day needs to be by the look out. “I recall many years ago it was so cold and track broke and all I could find was this Rock” ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Nice to see your sweetie is more than willing to get involved with the work. She really does a great job with the equipment!!!

I really like how you use each piece of equipment you own.

Very creative use of an excavator bucket cleaning caked mud off of the skid steer. I was waiting for the fender to get torn off so he could fix it. "They should have never made these fenders so weak." Keep up the great content!

Great work! Seeing you (and your friend) getting stuff like this done in miserable cold weather is a real motivation booster during the dreary winter months up here in Newfoundland. 🙌

Can’t believe how consistent you are. Look forward to seeing more.

Always love your videos Andrew, great to watch your process of working with plant gear, keep up the good work.

Love your videos!!! Can’t wait to see what you work on in 2022!!!

Excellent Andrew...man your a hard worker...thanks for posting and God Bless!

Great video again, love your helper - she blended well into your style, hope to see more of her. Thanks for making your videos continually better !

Thanks for sharing that fix! It makes me feel all nostalgic, wanting to get out in the snow and help. Can't do much of that now, in my Wheelchair, sadly, but I enjoy watching your solutions to issues at hand. Stay warm, Keep up the great work!

we all hope this young lady make it more of your videos, she does not seem to mind getting her hands in their , and could be a big help to you. be safe Andrew

Always great to see you, Andrew. You are the Man, sir! It is good to see you have some help!!

As always. I keep watching in amazement at Andrews' brute force will! Love it. When something needs doing Mr. Camarata comes through. Whenever I have time to kill, Andrew's videos give me a thrill. Always posting and teaching each time something new. I'll always be a fan and hope to someday see that awesome castle.

Don't ever stop making these videos! Love your skills Andrew.

I am amazed at how you know how to operate all that equipment. It's pretty cool to watch. I also love how much you care for your dogs!

Great job. That 'tundra' on the undercarriage looked hard as rock.

Another new awesome video from Andrew to start the day! Feel I could change a track by watching all his track change videos. Of course I would need another set of hands!

Another great video Andrew it was good to see your your supervisor keeping an eye on you namely Cody but it was good to see your partner having a go in the Skid Steer keep up the great work have fun and stay safe

Been following you from the start and it brings back find memories. I’ve run heavy equipment for thirty years and truly miss it, until I see you repairing it .

More power to you Andrew for doing this in the cold. Just the psychological warfare with the deep snow would drive me nuts and I'd have to clear it off. Speaking of clearing off, I'm surprised you left the dirt on the machine as it only created more hassles. Regardless, thanks bunches wishing you abundant blessings of all that's good.

I really like how both of you have total trust in what you are doing around the power tools!!

~~~~~~ Amazing what finesse you have maneuvering the bucket to remove and put on the tracks. The drone shots of the mountains are beautiful. What a joy to watch as always Andrew!

enjoy see you with the Mrs. and Cody having a good time ( even if it is work ) at the retreat !

always good getting your partner to muck in with projects always good to have a helping hand .👍

Great job, teamwork makes it easier, finishing faster. Cody was his usual, happy-go-lucky Lab self. No fear and can run a long ways. Thanks Andrew for the post. Enjoyed it!

This was a great little distraction right now Andrew, man seriously….thank you. 🙏🏻

Nice job replacing those tracks! Looks like your wife knows her way around machines a bit. She's not afraid to jump in!

Hey Andrew, I never thought they could clone you BUT now they have, the young lady is very impressive’ Thanks for another great video

Thanks for sharing this Andrew. It looks like you've definitely got used to the cold!!!

Omg that view....Jesus that shot of the valley was beautiful. One day I hope to have a home with mountain views like that. Amazing.

Until watching your videos, I had no idea the tracks were held on by basically hydraulic pressure, although it makes perfect sense. A very clever design, because of its simplicity and practicality.

Cody is a good dog 🐶 and Andrew it’s always amazes me on your videos keep me interested on how you complete projects. Well done 👍! I learn so much from how you fix or reuse ♻️ items. Thanks Jason

That is awesome photography, beautiful and beautiful soundtrack.

That's got to be some of the most beautiful country even in the snowy season. Hat's off to you and your helper , great job.

I like the grease cylinder tensioners like that much better than CATs turnbuckle tensioners. When they freeze up with rust and what not, it’s a massive undertaking. Needed a big giant specialty puller from CAT for the hub too.

You are always a great video to watch your knowledge and expertise is unmatched I love when you put out a video I have been a long time subscriber I personally hope you never stop "You Tube" never a dull moment with Andrew no matter what the content is and nice to see your side kick lol !

Andrew, I can;t think of anything more fun that changing skid steer tracks in the snow and freezing temps. Well maybe going out later and playing golf on the nice Oregon coast fairways or even maybe taking on a steelhead or two. Nope, those don't even begin to compare to the fun you are having. Another great video and job well done!

You really are a freak at driving. You have turned any of your machines into extensions of your own bodies... Including the drone. And that doggie, always so lively and playful...

Congratulations on the mountaintop, looks like an amazing spot, looking forward to seeing you do great things there.

Love watching you work. Having help is a plus. For the mud you need a wood chipper That can handle your logs. Larger then 5" is fire wood for me. But if you cover the ground you work on with woodchips, Less mud to deal with.

Amazingly nimble touch replacing the tracks. Thoroughly enjoying all of your posts.

Great Job Andrew; in the '70s I thought it was great fun to play and work in snow country at -50*F temps. Now at 79 years of Age, I won't go outside until the temps are at 65*F or higher. :) I have an RV that needs prepping before my April 10th run to Texas for Family Reunion, battery froze when the Battery Tender died :( , new charger and battery, and lots of stuff to verify is ready to go.

Always learn something every time I watch one of your videos man, thanks for the great content! You kick ass brudda

Always love it when a Camarata video pops up early in the morn

I think my favorite thing about AC videos is the ratio of talking to doing. So many other channels just talk and talk and talk about what they are going to do rather than just doing it. Like literally 50% of the video they are just holding the camera and talking. AC is like 2% talk and 98% doing which is perfect.

Congrats Andrew on getting the tracks on the loader. u finally got some help on the right tracks. Cody looks like he is having fun in the snow.

Heavy equipment operator A. Camarata. It's like Andrew took a step up in the league of big toys and we never noticed.

Something I've always done when there is freezing temperatures and I have been working in mud with any tracked machine is to shovel all the mud off of the machine at the end of the day. It keeps it from freezing to the frame and being a bitch to shovel off later when you need to chain the machine down on a trailer to move it. It also keeps the mud that gets around seals from freezing into them possible screwing them up. Another benefit to regularly cleaning the track frame off any time of year is that the mud and or dirt doesn't build up behind the sprocket in that hard to reach area so when you try to dig it out later it doesn't take half an hour on each side. Also never try to move a tracked machine in freezing conditions that has sat over night before you raise the tracks off the ground unsticking them by picking the machine up with the blade or bucket or in the case of a trackhoe picking each side of the machine up to free it and then running each track while up off the ground to make sure it's not frozen. Pretty easy to do, doesn't take that much time and keeps you from possibly tearing something up.

Loved the video!! Don't do much maintenance outdoors when the weather is cold, snow or rain. I have rusty tools to prove when I was younger and poorer, I did all my own maintenance, now I'm older, richer and grumpier, some one else does the greasy bits. Stay safe!!

Cody was sure that you were going to throw that prybar for him to play with. Again later it looked like Cody thought that greased covered fitting was a treat, he looked like he couldn't understand why you were holding out. What a great friend and companion he is.

That young lady does it all. Hard working, love it. 🤓🇫🇷

Must be hard to work in the cold 🥶 but always interesting to watch Andrew work! Great video 😎👍

It’s really impressive how you can finesse putting on the track with the bucket. Cool. 👍🏼👍🏼

A master class in courage and thoroughness, five stars on that one bro, thanks for posting.

We need to do this to ours. This will help. Thanks Andrew!

I see you have a new apprentice, I see her on a couple of your videos now happy that you find someone that is catching on good that can help you great video body thank you for the entertainment :-)

Can't wait until you get a nice equipment shed built up there. Working out in the snow is a tough slog but as always you managed. Thanks for the video.

You amaze me with all your toys. What a FUN life. Enjoy, love watching you work.

I see a couple of more containers on the hill with a large roofed over space underneath ala Diesel Creek. Probably before the new shop down at the homestead. Never enough covered area. Chance for another steel roof!!

WOW!! You do not disappoint, that's for sure. I also like seeing you involve your "special" helper in your activities. I've learned over the years, the more I involve my wife in things I do, the closer we become. As always, I look forward to each new episode.

The drone shot of the mountain top near the beginning of the video was spectacular. I lived in Missouri for most of my life (not now) and that area of NY reminds me a lot of MO.

Andrew, you’re such an expert on putting those tracks on brother, well it looks like you have some good help there Andrew ! 👌🏻👏🏻👏🏻 She’s definitely a good getter and she learning pretty well brother! I like that piece you put in there to roll the track off, great idea brother! Thanks for sharing Andrew! 👌🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻🇺🇸

Excellent helper!!!

Best video to start the day thanks andrew

Cody is such a goofball! He reminds me of the lab I had. Labrador Retrievers are the best! Smart, fun, and goofy.

i like how you are giving your little sister more and more things to do. must be nice that she is showing interest as well!

You make it look so easy taking and putting tracks on and off in adverse weather conditions most would struggle doing it in a workshop. Another great video Andrew take care buddy

ANDREW! You made my Tuesday !

Nice job, Andrew. Once again despite tough conditions you got it done.

...Another great video. As a young guy, I worked for the US Forest Service in the Sierras above 10,000 feet - I was a trail grunt not seeing a fellow human for months. I remember we had to be self reliant, repair everything ourselves, use hand tools. I was amazed at how self reliant I became ingenious with tools. It somewhat changed me upon my return to civilization. Another great video.

Perfect timing, AC video with my morning coffee.

Andrew, that young lady is a real asset, look after her, she seems to have a great work ethic?

Words that describe Andrew. Ambitious,,, Resourceful,,,Tenaciously persistant,,, Successful,,, Smart !

With all the work that girl does, I Think she she deserves an introduction or at least some recognition. Love the videos! So interesting.
