I've never seen anyone get as much use out of a free tool as Andrew has gotten out of the green hammer that came with his vise...👍👍

Reminds me of growing up in my dad's rock quarry in the 60s. I well remember standing with a foot on a small ledge on either side of the jaw's interior, swinging a 16lb sledge breaking up rocks that hung up. Usually tried to break them still in the feeder, but every once in a while one would fall wrong, and out came the sledge. Ours wasn't vibratory feed. Had a steel track, controlled manually, to feed. Our rock was limestone, not as dark as what you have. Jaw was adjustable, and we kept it screwed down to 3 inches out of the crusher. Ran it thru a screen plant, then a hammermill secondary crusher then thru screens again. Except our 3 inch base rock. Swung the conveyor 90 degrees to the left and straight from crusher to stockpile. In those days, kids could get away with working around the equipment, except when an inspector showed up. Always knew in advance when he was coming so that made it easier to disdappear til he left. Ah, the good old days!

Something that is underrated, as I really enjoy the big trucks etc..., is Andrew's outstanding video story telling ability.

I've been watching andrew since he started his u tube channel I've been running heavy equipment for 28 years and that young man has worked his ass off to get what he has to gets you with hard work I'm sure your parents are very proud you.

"That’s not a huge problem, that’s an ignorable problem." The man speaks truth.

Hey Andrew. It's nice to see you letting other guys share some footage of your projects. I know you must have more footage than would even be possible to edit and post, so being able to see what's going on through their channels is a nice bonus for the viewer.

In my 17 years in the stone crushing industry, I have never been so concerned about safety. These machines are unforgiving when it comes to bodily harm, please be careful, and for heaven's sake, no hands near moving parts. With love from a snowy and cold Sweden.

"That's an ignorable problem." -goes into the Andrew Camarata hall of fame along with the others. Gotta love the way you persevere and overcome life's ignorable problems; you are an inspiration! Thank you for the videos.

Now we know the story. Crusher is to slow and finicky for Andrew. Clear a spot, blast, haul rock and then crush boulders after breaking. Then truck ah-s**t and newer bell. Andrew is very, very determined to rock the roads. Finally with dirt bosses help, rock flies till dozer repair. I thought I had it bad, but may 2023 go better for you Andrew. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

What I like most about this channel is at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="362">6:02</a> "I think we can get that back together" Confidence and self-reliance.

No shortage of rock on top of the mountain, another cool tool to have. Watching you progress in the past 6 years has been great Andrew, thanks for the never boring content. Blasting next, that sounds great.

Oh man, can't wait for a "that just broke for no reason" with the crusher! <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1505">25:05</a> was like some hard core Battle Bots! Nice work and happy to see a video on this thing!

I loved that the last sentence is, "really what's next is that's got to be blasted". Can't wait for that one Andrew! Nice job straightening that shaft to good enough.

I feel like Andrew’s next logical project at hand is going to be digging a mine on his properties

Your capacity and willingness to just roll with the hard knocks (sometimes literally) and push through frustrating setbacks continues to impress and inspire, Andrew. Great to see the two of you working through the bumps and hurdles that came up during this project, and ultimately get some good work done in the end. :) Also great fun, as always, to see your resources and capabilities continue to grow!

Thanks Andrew for another great video, as usual. Congratulations on your new purchase👍

Awesome purchase. Having a track crusher is a total game changer. I’ve used these before are well as fixed plant jaw crushers. You might be able to tighten up the jaw down at the toggle plate by adding shims or some crushers have a hydro set for the close side setting to make finer material - but effects throughout. Also if you “choke feed” it you’ll have less long platey pieces. - I saw some in your crusher run pile. On that type of crusher they can get jammed up underneath and rip the belt. I’ve split a belt complete in half lengthwise by something getting jammed up underneath. Also load it with a large excavator. Set on a higher pad so you can see kind of into the jaw. With the excavator you can pick through the pile and size a bucket to match the indeed size of the crusher. Also mounting a large parabolic mirror (or if you really want to be fancy a camera) so you can see down into the jaw helps. Also make sure all your loader/excavator teeth are tight - if they get down in the jaw they can fired out the top like a rocket.

Spent my Teens running a Metso Jaw. What a beautiful sounding machine!

Phenomenal cool purchase mate... that will be useful for your work but also be an opportunity to create new work applications... Love your channel.. Big shout out to Cody and Blue from UK.

Andrews slowly building his empire! So good to see him doing well from the equipment.

Awesome content as always.Thanks for sharing and taking us along

Started watching - while unloading the unit my thought was "Andrew is so hard on equipment - I give him 30 minutes run time to totally bung this up" -- NOPE, busted before first use THIS is why I watch

I really don't know why I find all of Andrew's videos so interesting but for some reason I can't seem to stop watching. This rock crusher was fascinating, but I was SURE that some of those larger rocks would not be able to be fed through the teeth of that machine and sure enough, I was wrong! Excellent stuff. I'm a huge fan!

I loved the addition of this piece of equipment. It's really a step up in size. I thought the big wheel loader was the biggest, but this one is impressive. It's fun to watch the rocks fall down into the mouth and the teeth begin to chew them down to size. You're right about getting used to the proper feeding of this animal.

"Andrew's making a face" xD Glad it wasn't too much damage!

Incredible job Andrew! very satisfying to see how you find a good solution to all the various problems life throws at you. something i need to remember when tackling the more tedious technical type problems i deal with.

Awesome video man. Classic example of your persistence and determination.

Absolutely smashing rock crusher Andrew! That sure is the real deal! I hope you get tons of use out of it!

Wow I’m early on this one. Been subbed since 89,000. Your channel is the best KZfaq has to offer. Thank you very much.

Hi Andrew. Good purchase. Perfect for making road base. That will prove to be invaluable on your mountain top, and future jobs. Also don't let the negative comments EVER wear you down. Most of it comes through jealousy either because they are scared to try or lazy. Some could, come because of things that are beyond their control and are plain old pissed. Which is understandable. That's the problem with these comment sections, we really don't know each other, so we don't know which part of are heart it comes from. Merry Christmas. Ed from Chicago 🙂

Andrew, I have been watching your videos for some time now and you amaze me how figure out how to fix such complicated equipment. You never seem to get upset or frustrated with things or people which is an awful good trait. You are enjoyable to watch and support. I have been trying to figure out your relationship with Sam as she seems to enjoy working with you and isn't afraid of trying anything. She seems as mild-mannered as you. I also noticed she grew her hair longer recently which I liked. Well let me say it is a pleasure watching your videos and I hope you let us know your relationship with Sam sometime in the future. You two seem well-suited...

Looking forward to seeing you use this beast!

When you said you had a rock crusher you were not kidding. That is a monster! Go big or stay at home. You need a dial indicator and a long pipe to fix that shaft. great machine.

Andrew springs for a machine I didn’t even know existed. Pretty nifty for filling in those mud holes. Loved watching. I want some more!😮

As a mining engineer it makes me glad to see you getting more into the rock side of things, pun intended. Like you mentioned to get really any further with that face you'll have to drill and blast. On another note you have some pretty heavily bedded planes so a good investment if you keep have problems is to invest in a slab breaker jaw die set, they'll make quick work of those long skinny pieces especially with that rock.

I’ve been watching your videos for years now. One of the reasons I got into heavy equipment was your videos. Now I make all kinds of rock at a mine using a J1170 Jaw. Anyway good stuff and thanks for the inspiration over the years :)

A couple things about rock crushers are it does not hurt to have them angled downhill to get more feet out of them and you should always have the jar box full

Another absolutely outstanding video!! Bravo! 👍 Bravo!! 🙌 😊😊 Thank you Andy! And here’s wishing you & your squeeze, and your family and her family a absolutely wonderful MERRY MERRY CHRISTMAS!! 🎁🎄

Thanks for sharing another awesome video Andrew.

Awesome content as always.You are an inspiration to lots of people.Your channel has a wide variety of things.Thanks for sharing and taking us along

Its Awesome how I can relate where you are on the mountain now! The Crusher is a Game Changer 💪

Congratulations Andrew, another major milestone!

Great purchase Andrew, just what you need. 👍

Andrew! you CRUSHED it !!

Merry Christmas, Andrew and Sam. 🎄🧑‍🎄

Very cool. Maybe you could push up a dirt ramp by the rock receiver hopper so you could use other loaders to load the rock and not be limited to just the big boy front loader. Just a thought. Great job and thanks for sharing the new tool. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Fantastic video ! Love watching !

As far as workers go I think Sam is one in a million for you Andrew.

You’re a visionary Andrew. Bravo. After the rock trucks saga - it seems that you definitely get what you pay for. So getting the bigger better machine will hopefully pay off for you. Great video as always. 👏👏👏

Epic video and another massive installment. Just like Jesse said back along, Big things are happening on Mount Camarata. I wonder what's happening after the road build. A castle 2 possibly. After years of watching gold and opal mining that machines end conveyor motor is a point of failure and snag point. Don't know why they didn't opt for a 90 degree worm drive motor mounts on both sides. Sam is an absolute asset to have working with you

Another gripping adventure, I had no idea where this was going, but Andrew came through with a win! Glad to see the new addition to his equipment line up! I'm sure we'll have more fun with this! Stay well and stay safe! Happy Holidays to everyone!

I predicted this moment months ago...Great bit of kit... Love it!

No problem it works great that should help your road well done sir Andrew

It’s nice seeing all the pieces coming together like a puzzle with all your big machines that seemed too big at first but now that you are buying others it’s size it is upping the whole level

Great addition to the fleet ! Sweet !

I’ve been looking forward to your video on this!

YES!! Have been waiting for something from you!!

It’s looking like we are gonna get hammered with snow here tonight and tomorrow! Can’t wait to see some snowmobile videos from you! Or some snowplowing videos, those are always fun.

Great video !!!! Glad you have people to help you out !!!! Have a Merry Christmas and keep the videos coming !!!!!

i have always wanted a rock crusher.. good on you mate.

“It’s ignorable”. 😂 right, exactly why I turn my radio up in the car when I hear strange noises. Lol😅

Wow. Would love to have one of those. How much did that set you back? I'm curious what happens to the material that falls through the first screen before the crusher.

I do lots of mobile jaw crashing and you made a great purchase there .keep it greased like way more than you think it needs at least once a day, keep it level and try your best to not put any metal wood or mud through it ,keep your excavator near it with the hammer attached and keep a consistent amount on the shaker table so the Jaw is always 3/4 full and making a consistent product! Oh yeah dont let anything freeze in it if your gonna run in cold weather run it for a while to clean it out and spray the belts and pullies with rv antifreeze at the end.

No channel as epic as Andrews (lots of guys have crazy equipment but Andrew is the only one who can fix it all). !!

The spindle/axle that you were bending back into position at the start of the video may be worth trying to fix better. You may choose to do it when you get it back into your workshop - if you can machine one to replace it getting it welded back into position might pose some interesting challenges - I was thinking that if it were made so it was longer than it needs to be (and cut down when you've got it in place) you could make a housing to position it that fixed onto the body of the rockbreaker using something like threaded rod so you could get it into the exact position required. It might be worth trying to use a laser level light to assist with postioning. It might be the case that what you've done works well for a couple of years and you've got plenty of time to think about how to replace it if you need to.

Enjoyed the rock crusher video. Wish you had extended the video with footage of you spreading some of the newly crushed stone. Would love to see it and your progress on your mountain roads.

Was I the only one that got heart broken when the conveyor belt got slightly damaged? I felt your pain Andrew! Glad it was minor. This was the bad boy I was waiting for to complete the long road repair for the mountain. Can't wait to see the awesome video for that one! Got my popcorn waiting and ready 😎👍

Haven’t been around crushing operations much but I think you’d benefit from loading it with a track hoe instead of the 973, with the track hoe you can sort it out better than with the 973 and also you could set up the excavator on a bench above the crusher that way you could see what’s going on, good luck with it

Doesn't matter if you're 7 or 70, any guy will absolutely want to stand on that platform and watch a rock get crushed. Lol

That track loader was WAY more suited for that cut-and-level operation to set up that rock crusher, NOT ONLY because it is larger, but just because how track loaders work [assuming the operator actually knows how to use them properly, of course].

As used, a champion ! I love matching your chain ! What a pity ! You're so far from France ! you don't back down from anything, I have a high admiration for those who know how to do everything with their 10 fingers ! And the flight with drone is very amazing ( from a droner !) .

I’ve been waiting for this video to drop. Hope your feeling better

Being chased by a rock crusher and Andrew has the controller. OMG.

I know you said next step would be a cone crusher, but does that back jaw have any more adjustment if you wanted to crush to a smaller size?

Excellent episode, as always

FINALLY THE VIDEO I HAVE WAITED YEARS FOR!!! YES!!!🙏🙏🙏🙏

I wonder if you should have tilted it up on a slight angle to infeed the rock by itself with slight bit of gravity over pushing them by hand in

I watch your videos religiously and get really excited when a new one is out! I worked in heavy industry (scrap yard) for 20 years and have ran pretty much anything with an engine on it including cable cranes. I've also repaired my fair share of conveyor belts. Have fun with that one Get yourself a couple of boxes of Flexco Quick Fit fasteners and make a clamp system with 2X2 angle iron with threaded rods. You'll have it fixed in no time.

I particularly like your videos, I can learn a lot, especially how to fix or make something unconventionally.

Hope your heart is healing gettin thru the editing... You do crush it Andrew!

You are a brilliant hard working young man. Slow down just a bit and play closer attention and it might save you some work in the future. Absolutely love this channel. Keep up the good work.

It was really great that Mike the Dirt Boss could come out and help you out , you both together really got a lot done and you latest haul truck is fantastic, great investment indeed

I think this machine is going to be a big money saver and a big money maker great work Andrew

Yeah, I’m sure there’s a learning curve with this machine that I would think. Emphasis are put on rocks not mud sticks or logs lol. Best of luck with that machine. I hope it does what you need it to do.😊

I thought at 1st that was Michael Jackson Thriller in the beginning. How fitting I thought. We seem to have the same taste in music. I was reminded of that ethereal sounding song when you introduce the IH dump truck as your new workhorse.

Great bit of kit and will save time and money upgrading his tracks on his mountain.

Well done Andrew its all a learning curve nrw machine new methods no doubt you will have it working like a swiss watch soon.👍🇮🇪☘️

Andrew's final words as the video ends, 😂 I knew it was only a matter of time before he wanted his own blasting done!

You should make/get a grizzly to help you pre-sort the material and get rid of any mud off it. Adds another step, but anything smaller than whatever you make it (probably 4" in this case) would fall off, and you can add a second layer overtop to help get rid of the bigger stuff.

nice machine! i used to crush field rocks with a rock crusher behind a tractor (rotor with fixed hammers turning opposite direction of the tractor). i don t know if your crusher work the same way with a rotor, but what i learned is the most efficient crushing is when you have the less loess, clay and organic matter and the more rock in the bulk entering the crusher. clay, loam, wood etc works as shock absorber, and thats you dont need in the crusher. and also those materials create a lot more wear to the than pure rocks, acting as a grinding paste

Lovely machine great job getting the feel of it

Does anyone think Sam has flashes of near death accidents fixing and moving stuff with Andrew?? I like how Andrew fixes the stuff that breaks, he is right about how weak they make stuff now. I have been with this channel for awhile, glad to see how big it's gotten. G-d bless.

great timing for another video, this thing looks crazy

So good video brother. Amazing job👍

Blasting! I'm in! Looking forward to that. Thanks.

What an excellent sign of quality to see that the unbreakable hammer is still living up to its name!

You and Sam make a excellent team, awesome equipment you added to the fleet. Merry Christmas to you and your family and friends, God bless.

Blasted..... we are going to see yet another lovely, lovely blast video by Andrew. Cannot wait. Best. Xmas. Ever! :)

Great video. Amazing what you buy. It does make me 😊
