Its cool to know someone who has all the toys one dreams of.. Like I wonder if lil Camarata playing in the dirt as a child with his tonka toys knew one day he was gonna own his fleet of the life sized ones..

I gotta give him and his lady mad props.. for as much fun and work as they get out of the full-size Tonka Toy fleet, he spends 50% of his time fixing and repairing them.. and he NEVER loses his cool. He Da Man!!

Skidders are great in a clear cut. But if you are just thinning or have to make a lot of turns you can really damage your most "noticeable" remaining trees. In the video at 12:30 you can see a log tearing the outer bark layer off the large standing tree. Once the growing cambium layer is destroyed the tree is dead on that side where the damage occurred. Trust me when I tell you that every time you drive past you will see those skidder scars on all those prominent scenic trees. The best harvesters will leave a sacrificial tree at the corner of every tight turn of a planned route to prevent damage to the nice ones. On the last pass they carefully drag out all the torn up sacrificial trees. Try to harvest in the dry season when the bark is tougher. In spring early growth you can tear it off with your fingers it's so fragile. Dressing the logs at the fell site will promote nutrient return and, really important for your property, control erosion until the ground cover can establish.

I personally love how Andrew isnt afraid to show that things go wrong! Real life is exactly that, rarely do things go according to the plan. Great vid Andrew!

38:25 just look at that effort. Andrew walked around to the right so we wouldn’t see his foot prints in the snow from setting up the camera. And it makes all the difference seeing his tires pushing fresh tracks through that blanket of snow. Thanks, Andrew, for the top notch quality as always.

It's not just us that like watching Andrew work! Cody & Blue do too! It's amazing how alert these dogs are and with situational awareness! They manage to play nearby whether it's around vehicles being driven around or heavy equipment operated nearby! These two dogs ain't no dummies! Lol

The shots of Blue and Cody playing together with the sunset is priceless! Always luv your videos! Stay safe, stay sane, stay Strong

Nice time lapse, Andrew. I'd like to see an overview about your plans with the property, always enjoy your videos.

I've been watching Andrew since probable back at 30k subs if I'm not mistaken. I started watching some time around when the castle was getting finished up. Somewhere near where the gantry in the garage being built. I'm a early retired plumber because of health issues. So I live vicariously through your channel. Any Labrador lover is a guy worth give shot and I think that's probably what first caught my eye. With all that I see on YT and people becoming quite successful for complete nonsense it's so awesome to see someone who is such a hard worker make it. Even though we will never know each other I feel a sense of pride witnessing what you've made out for yourself. For us common folk who have an inborn love for playing up on a tractor or other piece of equipment for myself your the closest thing that I would call a hero. Truly living the dream. My grandad who was a multi millionaire in the HVAC business , he had a saying if you watch the pennies, the dollars will mind them. You putting in the hard work to source these used equipment and making them certainly cost effective is impressive. Your capabilities as a company are enormous. Lots of people probably have no idea that if you purchased all that equipment new or slightly used, you'd have way over seven figures. Anyways keep up the great work. America needs many more men just like yourself

That opening drone footage was some of the best you ever shot Andrew.

I'm stuck at home with the Flu, and I have been re watching your old videos ALL MORNING LONG, and when the "Clearing land with a dozer" video ended just now, I saw this video you just uploaded in the recommended list, and it said "Uploaded 35 minutes ago" I have never been so excited to watch a new video lolol. I must have met my quota this month in the karma department to be so lucky. You're the ONLY channel I'm subscribed to that I'm ADDICTED to watching. I have been waiting so long for another upload involving the Skidder!! Keep up the amazing work Andrew. You're truly an inspiration to a lot of us. This generation needs more people who have a work ethic like ours.

Good to see the boys enjoying a good stick together ❤️

Yes! The log skidder, the coolest machine you got! We talked about this video about a year ago.

Love everything Andrew has created & the boy toys I’m jealous off lol, but best of all is his doggies ! What a wonderfull life experience & as my wife & I lossed our flat coat retriever at only the age of Six it hits hard on me that Codey & Blue have a natural beautifull experience in there time on planet earth.

I gotta give you props for working outside in the winter. For me, after all these years, when there's snow on the ground, nothing gets done outside.

I remember the day 7 ish years ago that I put excavator work into the yt search bar an found this channel it's crazy to see how much it's changed over the however many years

What a beast. That log skidder is some serious unit.

Great video, love how you keep your videos real. Great job ! Love watching !

Right tool for the job. Thank you for bringing us along...

As always, thank you for another entertaining video and for all of your hard work Andrew👌

Love watching the pups and you and Sam doing your thing. 👍🎅🏻

Andrew thanks for making these videos I enjoy watching them ✌️

Beautiful sun set Andrew with the dogs playing just lovely 👍

yet again, another brilliant video from you Andrew! thankyou.

I was just rewatching old Andrew videos. Absolutely love these videos and have been a subscriber for years now. Keep up the good work!

Another fine video, and the quality is fantastic. I love the close up shots when the wheels of that behemoth of a machine seem as though they are coming through the screen. The filming from the drone is really good and the quality of the images are amazing....really sharp. The editing is A1.......really good.

Gorgeous drone footage of the trees!! 👍👍👍

It is a good day when you upload a video. Thank you for sharing your work.

Another awesome video thanks Andrew....can`t wait to see those "bonfires"🔥looking forward to the next machine time with you 😁

Badass machine. Cool seeing it operating in the snow.

Great video Andrew,love the way you take care of your land.

What an amazing duo. You two really work together well. Happy for both of you!

The skidder is probably one of your coolest pieces of equipment

Pristine drone shots! I've long waited on the video for this machine! Thanks Andrew!

LOVE WATCHIN YOU DO WHAT YOU DO, HOPE EVERYTHIN GOES GREAT FOR YOU AND YOURS

Thanks, once again you exceeded my expectations! Love spending my time with your cause, to further our knowledge. I try to learn something new every day, and that has always been my philosophy. Kindest regards Mickey.

Can’t believe how much torque that skidder has. Seems like it could pull/haul anything….any size. Pretty cool. Saves on a lot of back breaking work. Or having to have to use mules I guess lol😄

That skidder is perfect for what you’re doing. Thanks for sharing the sunset.

Andrew you are an absolute blessing each and every day in my life . Your intelligence and ingenuity is off the charts my friend . I so look forward to viewing your adventures each episode that you present . Thank you so much Andrew for sharing your life with us to enjoy being a part of . I wish you a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year as well . Catch you next time in the beautiful upstate buddy .

Always interesting work, and, it's good to see you again Sam, be seeing you on your channel more often I hope! Thx for sharing with us Andrew!!

Never a dull moment on that mountain. What the view and all the toys to create your dream. Very well put together video.

Hey andrew, I have spent countless hours watching what you do best, and look forward to spend a lot more watching your work, your machines and the magnificent scenery. You sure are living a life most of us just dream about.

What a great quality video you have. Its fingerlicking good. The intro shots are amazing.

What a team!!! Awesomeness, Andrew!

Andrew. I love watching you two work together. She is so cute. And knows her business. She can handle any job it looks like. It's nice to have someone you don't have to show everything new chore to. Hands-on is so important for safety. What's the next toy on the list. I can hardly wait. lol

Talk about the perfect dogs life. I can watch your videos all day long Andrew. I see and appreciate all the work you do for the videos. Setting up the camera before hand, etc. All those little extra things that makes a video better. Keep up the great work man!

Very cool. For years we logged with a JD1010 gas dozer with a winch and a Farmall A. Lotsa fun. Thanks for the vid.

Ypu all make a great team. Thanks for all the great content.

I like how you clean up all the trees and stumps along the roads and clearings, it looks so nice the next season and blends it all in. So much better

Awesome video, Running the skit steer Was amazing it totally reminds me of Llogger Wade when he runs his. The end of the sunset reminds me here in Arizona

Love to see Codey & Blue doin' so great. Greetings from Switzerland, UZ

That skidder is a must have for taming your own mountain. Beautiful spot too. looks like there is going to be a nice bon fire coming up also. All the best to you Andrew keep safe and this winter is going to be a cold one stay warm.

Adding to Your Burn Pile and Log Clearing - Brilliant Work - your Machines are Awesome indeed - what Work Horses ! Some Repairs had to be done and Yes Maintenance and Repairs on Equipment is an ongoing Business ! Winter Time - Chains on Tires - my Memories when I lived in Canada ! Another Quality Video and many Cheers from us in Australia !!!!

One thing that differentiates Andrew's channel from many others, and keeps me coming back, is editing that respects an adult attention span!

As always, thank you for another entertaining video and for all of your hard work Andrew👌the lady is special...

That skidder looks like it would be fun to work with! It's definitely got the muscle you need to drag big trees out of areas that are difficult to access with anything else. Nice piece of equipment!

Amazing how capable those machines are. What a beautiful spot to relax in when not working - whenever that might be, lol.

I truly enjoy watching your videos. I always wanted to work with heavy equipment, but it never came to be. keep up the good work, tell Cody and Blue i say hi.

I totally relived the "YES"! and the "COME ON"..... Also the "I LOVE IT WHEN IT WORKS" Thanks for sharing.

It's not just us that like watching Andrew work! Yes! The log skidder, the coolest machine you got!

Plenty of good winter bum warms there Andrew . Makes jobs so much easier with the right machinery

Love the drone shots!

Great video as always Andrew. That skidder sounds amazing.

Great video reminds me of my younger years when I worked for an outfit that didn't know what new equipment was. Everything was from an auction or scrap yard but always managed to keep everything patched up and get the job done. I spent my life on heavy equipment and owned some of my own. I once had a JD Skidder just like this one she was rough around the edges but she was a work horse.

Andrew - it was a pleasure meeting you, Blue and Cody - I hope the winter brings you some relaxation and fun on some snowmobiles and simpler winter projects. If you get stuck working on that Cub Cadet reach out to me, I've worked on quite a few of those old machines!(something tells me you won't need my help though you're resourceful as hell)

Great video! I like Samantha I hope she will still be in your future videos.

Dam Andrew brings back alot of memories started running a John deer skidder at 14 in the summer for a friend of my dad's logging company in Indiana

There’s something about this machine that’s so appealing. It’s a big-tired beast with chains you just want to drive down a muddy mountain trail. Thanks for a great video!

Hey Andrew, just wanted to thank you for all the awesome videos over the years. I am quitting my job in two weeks to pursue my dream of owning and operating an excavation/property management company like you have! And a big part of that is thanks to you.

Howzit Andrew. Always happy to see your latest posts. Are you planning on making a video of fixing the 4x4 system on that military truck? That would be interesting to watch you doing that

Thanks for always a good video Andrew; fletch from the UK is a good asset to your collection.

A tarp, tiger torch, and piece of old exhaust pipe works well to thaw and eliminate a lot of problems, patients pays off in the cold weather I've found. Love logging , thanks for sharing, and glad you found an awesome partner.👍😎☮️

It brings back good memories of when I worked opening up new areas here in Brazil in the early 2000s, it also brings back memories of the bees and wasps that we didn't see near the logs. They weren't friendly I can tell. :) Great video as always.

Andrew, it's not fair, that you are so mechanically adept and now, so artistic. Your music choices, editing, and storytelling all come together to make such a solid channel. (And hear I thought your dad was the only creative Camarata.) I hope you had a nice Thanksgiving.

Always interesting watching your videos Andrew

Looks like we got another fix it video coming soon with the D-4 CAT, that is an awesome machine you got there love how you explained what it is good at and how to start it in winter weather.

Wonder if Cody and Blue ever look at each other like.. “one day we will get a big ole stick like that..”

Andrew I love watching your videos!! They are really well done. My 5 Year old Son and I watch them together and he enjoys watching you run the Bulldozer and heavy equipment and asks me how come we do not have a Bulldozer LOL.

There’s nothing like watching a video or 2, or 4. Maybe more by Andy with good fresh coffee. Keep it up Andy!!

10 seconds and then I love the intro already. Keep doing what you doing Andrew.

Andrew, you have a skill for editing.

i’m amazed at your ability to work on machinery and rebuild and keep them running. thumb’s up to you 👍👍👍👍👍👍

We haver never had a skidder in the family but I have seen them used on hillsides. The great operators always do like you did and pay out the line going up the steep hill and then suck it back in when they get to the top You are becoming an expert.

That skidder is one bad ass piece of equipment, when it pulled those 3 trees up that muddy hill, that was awesome. With the winch, 4 wheel drive, heavy duty chains on big ass mud tires, blade on the front, that thing will go anywhere under most all conditions.....can't wait till we get to see the blasting video and rock quarry work to follow, those roads all on the mountain need gravel!!!!

How nice isn’t it to watch this man work his property and machines while sitting on the couch with the comforts of home?

The winch on the skidder is awesome.

That is a Beautiful place you have there Andrew. great video.

I watch a lot of people on KZfaq your videos are my favorite Thank you

Andrew, you have all the good toys. you need a good morbark chipper would be a good addition to your collection, thanks Lewis

Always interesting n fun to see what your up to Andrew .Thanks so much for including us. That Log Skidder is a Beast..

I used to drive one just like this one, many years ago when I was logging for my close friend and family members, who had a logging business and I learned alot by watching and learning and I cut trees down with my husqvarna chainsaw!!! Was a great experience to learn how to use the skidder, as I got my heavy equipment operator license so I could work for any company with heavy equipment!!! Chokers weren't my favorite.

ME likes this "Dual Crew", Samantha & YOU with the ability to "THINK" & meet the objectives! Cool & stay safe!

Great Job Andrew on getting that Beast Log Skidder moving those big logs. I was guessing that the ALT was bad. Cody and Blue were having fun..

This machine is a beast, goes anywhere fairly well, nice investment kudos to ya !!

Once again great vid of a man and his partner doing hard work !! Keep it up Andrew , And Blue is growing up to be such a cheeky character..

Andrew, you keep acquiring equipment and you're going to have to do more blasting back at the castle! Looking forward to you building that equipment shed! I know it will be Medieval!

Andrew wonderful video like always I think you missing is a good wood chipper so you can improve the land slap in both of you properties and you can sell the wood chips by truck load or if you ad the adapter of a scale for the louder or excavator the you can sell it by the ton. Made the force be will you always, lol good luck keep it up my friend 😊

What can I say, Andrew. Another great video. I always look forward to "Adventures with Andrew"

Hey Andrew between you, Jesse Muller and others I've seen on utube, I really have hope for the younger generation of Americans. Great channel and videos. Always something new and interesting. Thank you.

Dude you have got to invest in battery isolators for your machines the amount of batteries I’ve seen you go through! The skidded kicks ass a real handy bit of kit right there. Looking forward to seeing the crusher up and running their another great piece of gear that will come in very handy given the type of work you do
