[@ashkandi1337]

I love how all these guys are well in their thirties yet when around equipment they're like little kids. "We're digging here until someone says something to us, as deep as it can", that's brilliant

[@Huntersprojects]

They’re like kids in a candy shop! lol that’s definitely one of my favorite quotes by andrew

[@MrPhotodoc]

For American males the prime of life is around 45 years. Sad but true.

[@Helen-sound]

I love that these two have met up . I’ve watched both for so long now with the hope that one day it would happen .

[@rirebel6029]

If you are really looking for a simple easy to use system that doesn't require a total station and you just need a couple basic " touch points " to dig foundations and keep a steady 1% or whatever you want for drain pipe work I have tried them all and the best is the next gen cats . The don't suddenly stop you they cushion it but also won't pet you over dig and you can put height and swing " fences " in place too for overhead wires or working in tight quarters . The volvos are good too but the cat is so simple it's crazy I love the next gens and the technology in them

[@shoots2001]

Lord muck was with them to

[@ArcticRaccoon]

So nice to see you, Diesel creek and Letsdig18 all hanging around

[@TrevorDennis100]

Don't forget Mike Dirt Perfect. I never thought I'd see the day.

[@327JohnnySS]

Probably the first video I didn't hear "Well that broke for no reason" . Great video Andrew. Thanks for sharing.

[@BlueBowtie2004]

Hey Andrew this is Gabe, thanks for including me in this awesome video. Was a very cool experience and was glad I got to meet you!

[@AndrewCamarata]

Yes. You too. Good times.

[@rakhmatullahmechanic]

Hello

[@Military-Museum-LP]

Andrew saying, “I don’t know if we are quite ready for this yet”. Honestly is the best policy.

[@vasi0011]

I'm DEFINITELY NOT ready for this! They're trying the best they can to push this "climate change" crap whenever they possibly can. Andrew, don't attend these events anymore. From a loyal fan.

[@Chr.U.Cas1622]

Yeah. And I find it quite embarrassing that the "specialists" from the factory needed A.C. to figure out that there is a main switch! 🙈 Best regards, luck and health in particular.

[@GS-zv3qn]

The electric should have the same speed and power as long as the pump is the same as the diesel-powered unit. The manufacturer should know to keep the performance the same because no one wants less when going electric

[@GS-zv3qn]

@Chr.U.Cas2216 the factory rep is probably an office guy who never runs much of what he sells

[@Chr.U.Cas1622]

@@GS-zv3qn In the video it was mentioned, that the two specialists were flown in from Korea just to take care of this e- excavator! If 2 employees would have embarrassed my company in such a way, especially in public, I would definitely know what to do. Best regards, luck and health in particular.

[@greymarket6834]

meeting that hard working fan in the parking lot was solid

[@AndrewCamarata]

We hung out with that guy for over an hour.

[@Dumpster_Dave]

That was awesome he drove there to see you

[@Dumpster_Dave]

Andrew you should have put the guy in there that started crying when he seen you, he said you changed his life. That was a highlighted moment.

[@DirtPerfect]

Was awesome catching up with you in Louisville hope you had a good time

[@AndrewCamarata]

Yes, nice meeting you.

[@pmiller7886]

2 channels I don't miss a video, Mike and Andrew, 2 totally different types of channels but both very enjoyable. I would love to see Andrew get involved in the old drag lines like Matt, letsdig, Clinton all have. That would be sweet to have one of Andrews D7 dozers refurbished at C&C equipment, would be like brand new. Thank you guys for hours of free learning and enjoyment!

[@klk2270]

Andrew and Matt from Diesel Creek, my favorite heavy machinery KZbinrs. You guys should do a visit on each others properties, would make great videos.

[@garylaviolette5853]

I second the motion!

[@jesseleesamples]

That would be awesome. As far as this kind of content goes, they’re my favorite too

[@ben-jd8kk]

Andrew having to show the people who brought the electric excavator how to turn it on it the best lol

[@rsmith3062]

If you want to sell equipment send reps that speak english and know how the equipment works.

[@MrErichonda30]

Or find some hot Korean women

[@TheMetalButcher]

​@@rsmith3062Yup. Nothing less confidence inspiring than knowing nothing about your product. Hot girls only go so far. You should know it like it's your daily driver.

[@Naplesfrank154]

I always love watching Andrews videos but today it was really great seeing all of the KZbin construction guys that I follow all together as one big family.

[@whodat90]

I love Andrew looking at these like he’d actually buy something that doesn’t immediately need a full rebuild

[@Military-Museum-LP]

Andrew and Matt are like Rock stars!

[@Sceme1991]

I'd totally watch a 48 hour marathon on Andrew and Matt fixing machines together

[@geekdiggy]

that obstacle course was cool!

[@davechapman1371]

Who would’ve ever thought this genre would be so popular? Happy to see you getting the recognition you deserve. Can’t wait to see what you share with us in the future.

[@Maetti1286]

Andrew and Diesel Creak... the colab the world is wating on

[@HamburgerAmy]

now this is the kinda partnership/sponsorship i love to see for andrew going on.

[@thekingtroll2]

It was nice to see Andrew out having a blast. I was impressed his names were on the banners, wow. When Andrew first started making small video's, I was hooked. Andrew, did you ever imagine 1.3 million subscribers and growing? You've earned every single one of them. I didn't know this was going on or would have driven from Ohio just to shake your hand. Have you heard the Louisville joke yet? We were in Columbus and a couple next door said they were going to Louisville, KY and I asked if I could ride along. They said yes. We drove and made mild conversation and things were going ok. Then all of the sudden we saw a sign and the husband read it. "Louis ville, 50 miles". His wife corrected and told him it's "Louey ville". That made him angry and he said "Louis ville" is clearly spelled on the sign. She said "It's pronounces "Louey ville". So we got close and it said "Louisville 1 mile exit 3b". His wife read it out loud saying "Louey ville" one last time. The husband drove down that off ramp and ran a red light crossing the median into a strip mall across the street. Jesus. He pulled up on front of a business and told his wife "Let's settle this". I got out of the car to go in with them. The husband opened the door and yelled at a cashier and asked the guy "MY wife is an idiot. Will you tell her nice and slow where we are right now?" The clerk leaned forward and said "Burrrrrgerrrrr Kinggggg".

So nice to see a real American working man become a star on the internet. Not some half naked chick or prankster! I started following Andrew years ago and watched every one of his videos. I run my own handyman business for almost 10 years now and everything I only started learning about welding and using equipment because of this channel. I watch a few of the other guys videos too but Andrew is the only one I never miss and never disappoints.

[@johnblake3863]

Chris and Matt and Andrew...it is so cool to see you guys hanging out together. I watch all of you. And Mike! This was a lot of fun. Thanks.

[@paulmartin8212]

I love it how personable Andrew and all these YT guys are. It's kind of like meeting a rock star that remembers his roots and stays humble.

[@kenc3288]

Great to see Andrew, Matt, Chris, Lord Muck and Calamity Kim all mixing it.

[@bryceclemons6196]

It was a great time meeting you all and getting to just talk on a personal level rather than just watching your great content all the time! Was cool to see myself in one of your videos as well. Thanks for chatting with my crew and myself even after the meet and great and can’t wait to watch more videos. See ya at the next convention.

[@daveharper5655]

[@PilotoBrutus]

Hey dude! Wanted to tell you that you’re really good photographer. Keep it up!

[@simon2428]

What’s great about this is these guys can actually see the impact they have with the subscribers and how positive the videos they make are for everyone that watches.

[@patcalhoun3000]

This is awesome to see! I've said for years it'd be great to see Andrew with Dirt Perfect, Diesel Creek, and Letsdig18 and it looks like it finally happened

[@TheJuliousness]

With your dedicated audience, I can't believe a manufacturer hasn't made you their ambassador and outfitted you with their line of machinery. I love maintenance, repair and restauration videos but I think there's a missed opportunity somewhere here... Cheers!

[@TheJuliousness]

@moonlandingagain3228 he is always looking at new technologies and going to shows like these and willing to try stuff out. Maybe didn’t find the right fit. I am not talking about blind advertising, I am talking about a real collaboration where you’re involved in development, R&D and real life testing.

[@hkfan4596]

He’d lose half his audience if that happened, myself included. The minute I get a whiff of sponsorship, I stop watching and move to another channel.

[@TheJuliousness]

@@hkfan4596 that’s your problem… it all depends how it’s done. So you think it was a coincidence Andrew was signing shirts at the Hyundai booth at the show?

[@HughzieTube]

'Ambassador' type deals would mean he wouldn't be able to use any other brand on camera. Seen it happen with a brick laying channel I watch who were pushing one brand of tools that they were buying and getting discount on, now they are sponsored by Milwaukee and been given thousands of pounds of new tools but nothing else can be shown on camera. Makes every video into a product placement advert.

[@TheJuliousness]

@@HughzieTube you sign the deals you agree and are comfortable with… I doubt Andrew would do that, used that word to illustrate a collab of some sort, not exclusivity deals or anything remotely close to that.

[@mickg6480]

Absolutely, awesome video Andrew. I’ve been an OG subscriber from the beginning many years ago. I’m in New York native, born and raised. I just recently moved to North Carolina as I’m in construction and construction is booming down here. I love that you got first crack at a lot of this equipment somebody like you who is self-taught as far as a machine operator your skills are A+. If anybody can review these machines, you are the best guy.

[@nathang.1561]

an actual rockhound is more like a dirt version of those pickup broom attachments that asphalt guys use. they comb rocks roots and trash out of rough graded soil, drag it all into a bucket and scratch up and level the soil leaving it ready for seed or sod all in one pass. You can make a pretty long pass before the bucket fills up with junk and you have to dump it. Its really incredible how well they work, I couldnt believe how well the one i bought worked, just wish i had more need for it

very nice to see how much people enjoyed meeting Mr. Camarata in person. I bet it was quite a thrill. I always get tongue tied around famous people myself. I found this channel by the video of Levis birthday party day which was such a dear thing. I quickly found that Mr. Camarata was a true renaissance man who could basically learn and do anything and i have watched all the videos since. These videos really bring a lot of things to life for me and i truly appreciate it. I am just recovering from surgery and am in my bed now and this as usual has been a real welcome change of pace to get my mind off things and to enjoy myself. thank you so much!

Say it aint so!! he got it all in 1:32: 48!!!, I could hear Mike, saying : "oh he's got it, he's close" when you came to putting the ring on the cone Mike was cheering you on with " ,come on buddy".
