That's awesome how Andrew is like, "just get in the thing and play with it" I mean alot could go wrong but he trusts you enough XD

I would have loved to operate the 977!!! I got the chance to drive one when I was 12 years old. Now I'm 70 years old. You never forget!! Thank you for sharing this video with us.

This is so cool . I remember years ago talking to Andrew in the comments before he got big And the best part is he never let anything go to his head and always stayed the same! That dozer is a beast and that loader is massive too

Andrew Camarate unique house recognized over the Internet by hundreds of thousands of people resulting in instant click to a video that is pretty doggone funny

AC is gonna drop a 50 hour video wait and see

He's really opening up that piece of the property. Looking good. New episodes will be great.

Cant wait for the AC vid on that slope clearing

Thank you. Can’t tell you how long before this video I been searching for a controls tutorial.

Andrew is that one friend that everybody wants because he will literally let you mess with or borrow his stuff even if it’s thousands of dollars worth of equipment

Glad you could help Andrew out!

that track loader drives like my cat 951b, love them controlls! Neat to see that 988 is just like driving a backhoe, defiantly wayyy bigger! Looks like fun

I wish I could hang with Andrew for a few days to boost my channel too! Lol

It's really cool to get the Andrew Camarata feeling on another channel than his ! Watching from Paris, France, and just subd to your channel. I like the vibe of it very much. Also, it's awesome to see all the transformations that Andrew's doing to his mountain !!!

That's pretty cool, hanging out and working with Andrew.

First machine I ever learned to operate was a traxcavator 977. My dad would take me to work with him when I was a kid. When I was able to reach the foot controls my dad would take lunch I was around 12 he would sit on the trailer at first have me moving piles of dirt. Then tell me ok move it back. Then light grading and digging

When i bought my track loader i had to load it on the steel deck trailer myself and didnt realize it was on a slight grade, i was nervous as hell because i had about 30min experience of using it before i bought it. Lets just say i learned a few new words when it started over the pivot point on the trailer and started sliding off at the same time. I saved it by throttling wide open and tapped the left brake bringing the right side around while it went forward but then was nearly sideways on the trailer when it sat fully back down then i had to take a second to get the ole ticker back going again lol. Since then its been a blast and the 4n1 bucket makes it so much more versatile than a gp bucket. Man its some massive rocks around there aint it, now Andrew will be known for literally moving mountains lol

Wow. That’s a lot of material he’s moved. Can’t wait for an update in the next video he uploads. Looks like some fun equipment to run. Always dreamt of running equipment like that.

My favorite loader it sounds so good

WOW! You caught on quick! That was awesome.

Andrew camarta’s machines

That big loader is a beast. That and a large excavator can move that mountain.

So Andrew got a 988?? Nice lol

I have 52 years old and since i was young boy i still have the dream to learn driving dozers and truck loaders 🚜🙄

I love the bonus Andrew Camarata content

Andrew fun summer camp for big kids.. Lucky you..👍

Very cool! Thanks for the lesson

That 988 can move some material for sure. Looks like Andrew could benefit from a conveyer system or even a rock truck... He is still getting that mountain dug out pretty fast I think.

Subbed, let's get this man to 10k subs before the end of the summer!

Bring backs a lot of memories ran one of these but a d8 99 glade to be retired own a small dt7g backhoe and other equipment. Probably never could afford things if i would have married had kids. An old carpenters book i read in college the front page. A man who does not teach his son a skill is like committing hwy robbery

I learned to operate a loader years ago, it was an early 80's New Holland.. It was a midsize machine ..

That loader is huge

I must confess I do NOT watch all your videos, But Anything to do with Andrew Camarata, I am all in., Great that Andrew trust you enough to just go and learn how, to operate it, after telling you a few things, and sending you off.

check your mirrors and watch for Cody!

Geweldig! zou ik ook wel een dagje willen doen,...

It all starts somewhere and with someone saying get on and run it! After a few days your saying I can do this and then you either see someone who can really run one or you get older and much wiser.... and laugh at yourself for thinking this is easy. I wrenched on stuff like that for around thirty or more years as my life has many turns in its road. You will get there but pay attention all the time and leave the radio off.

I never drove a track loader or dozer, looks a bit tricky. And a friend once told me for leveling with a dozer you need some talent. He even called it Butt-O-Meter, to get a even surface. With the wheel loader, I bet I'd feel fine driving one. It seems similar to the big forklifts I drove, pedals and switches are nearly the same, just the steering is a little different.

gotta say that thimbnail made me click so fast!

Why are these old track loaders set up with the curl function forward?? I noticed that when Andrew was running the old green one. That seems so backwards to me. I've ran many loaders with 2 sticks and it seems you would want to lift and curl at the same time to dig which would be hard with one hand. Maybe it's more helpful loading in a truck but still seems backwards!

Andrew!!! nice asecond chammnnell

Andrew, any chance you could get decals of all your big pieces of equipment with you driving them?

Looks like Andrew has started his next project. Did he tear down the hot tub ? I thought he wanted to make it bigger eventually.

Avoid alot of turning while loading or $$$$$$ in rollers tracks and shoes. I had a 963 and burned two sets of undercarriage at $20k each

Where's Andrew camarata, whose this guy?.

I would love to meet andrew,

Its crazy how andrew can afford a 988 loader

Looks like the loader came from a mine of some kind,so cool! Where is Mazie?

Are the pedals brake only, clutch+brake or a mix? Does it stall if you jam on the service brake in gear? are left and right tracks locked together until you disengage one with a steer pedal or are they all loose with a differential?

On the 955 cat loader - is there anything wrong with running them at a very low speed - RPM level wise - and when running at higher RPMs - should one RPM down before changing from Forword to reverse and or Stop / brake before doing so - seems I get a lot of different answers - wonder what the operator manual says - anybody know ? ? ! -- I just bought one and I think the guy that owned it didn't know Facts about how to run it -

That castle looking house thing is cool.... You should share how you made it.... Or is it not yours? Whoever owns it looks interesting and could prob make a pretty good following on youtube

Compared to modern machines, that thing will work u to death. But u can flat move some materiel if u half way know what ur doin

Cadê o Andrew tá sumido amigo Tmj abraço

which machine caused the butt pain?

Shovel dozer

now all he needs is a d11 haha

Volume wide open could not hear 2/3 of what you said. Would rather see what the machine was doing. Turn the camera to look at what you see then tell us what you want to during the editing.

HEI ANDREW, COSTRUISCI UN RICOVERO PER I TUOI MEZZI DI LAVORO, CIAO

Lol

You don't drive a machine. You operate it. That's why they are called "machine operators"

You only showed how to operate a wheel. Loader
