Actually mowed a good portion of a Field for him using his Ford 1520 way back. Couldn’t finish when my wife became ill and called me home with her eventually having to be hospitalized. The tractor did overheat so I had to baby it. He eventually solved the issue in another video. He’s the real deal, just as he presents on his videos. Buy some merch from him and support his channel!

Perhaps off subject but in 10,000 years the machines will have rotted into dust and the stone will still be here. All trace of our machines will be gone. Really makes me wonder how vastly ancient people moved multi ton stone and built they things they built. They moved stones that we cannot move today without our modern equipment! Yet they tell us people wearing sandals and pulling ropes did it. I’m not so sure about that. We may not be the first to have machines or some sort of technology to move around massive stone and earth

I guessed it wouldn't be long before Andrew started to think about blasting those rocks in the hillside. Although it's fun & satisfying to watch the Caterpillar loader pry the giant rocks out of the hillside, blasting would be more efficient (because it appears there is a lot of rock in the hillside he wants to remove), & without the wear & tear to the equipment. But It looks like so much fun to remove the rocks with the loader! Great job, as usual!

My boss rented or hired a machine to come and crush on a few different sites and we just got discount because we let operator use my boss' cx 160 case to load it but yes, you can adjust size of the stones and with all that room Andrew has a place to stockpile it.... ONE MAJOR PROBLEM, SHALE NO BROBLEM BUT ITS NOT MEANT FOR BIG TOUCH ROCK LIKE GRANITE ITS MAINLY TO CRUSH CONCRETE AND AN OCCASIONAL ROCK. ITS GOOD TO MAKE RCA. BUT HE USES 3/4 CLEAN ON HIS DRIVEWAYS

The hill "looks" really unstable shale type stuff, with the odd granite big boulder looking stuff, all held together with mud. I'm interested in the history of the site and how/why Andrew came to choose/own it. Maybe such a video already exists that covers some of that? If so, could someone add the link please. Many Thanks.

That video reminded me of my Volvo EC55 and the work I put down at a friends place. Stone upon stone upon stone, and without a hammer, a large job for that smallish machine. I wore the far left tooth on the bucket a lot, picking at the stones, but eventually had to give up. He just has to get a larger tool for those stones, and my excavator was sold. I got more for it than I gave anyway, so I was happy, although I miss the hours I spent tinkering with that machine. New belts, buckets and bright LED's all around made it a very useful machine.

Move those shipping containers, get into the hillside at the level of the soft layer under the bluestone, and undermine the big slabs of rock until they drop out of their own weight. Much faster than trying to lever them out, I think. No need to blast, the bluestone comes apart so easily under it's own weight.

@Andrew-Camarata I was imagining a stepped terrace could be beautiful using the large smooth stones as your face of each step and stepping the hill side back as you cut it giving you a way to safely shore the hill from slumping in the future when it gets oversaturated and has less support then it did previously. Unless you are shoring it with piles and or placing pins or similar back into the hillside. I would hate to have your hard work get knocked over or undone because of a landslide. Check out the OSO landslide in WA state( I know your condition is much different but still interesting)

What a treat! I love seeing those huge rocks break apart in layers. I love the looks of that jet black shale. You should sell small stones for paperweights!

About track pad grousers: The channel "The Jackson Brothers" has some videos on greatly speeding up welding new grousers on the track pads for their two D11s. They ended up using a clamp to hold seven welding rods at once and running around 350 amps if I recall right. In the videos they shared the evolution of their setup, what worked (and some attempts that did not quite work right) and a few tests to find the best current settings for a given number of sticks. The grousers on this girl look like they could generate more traction.

You know, at this rate you almost need a rock crusher or something, just to bust all the chunks up into gravel that you could dump on that crazy-long mountain road that keeps eating vehicles. xD

I just wanted to thank you for allowing us to live vicariously through your adventures. I don't always agree with your methods, but it's not my dallor so it isn't my say and sometimes I get instructed and see the value in just trying. I have put a bit of your adventures to use in helping me to just try it and most times it works out. So again thank you very much! I dont have amuch silver or gold to offer, but I do have Jesus Christ. I am not sure of where you stand with God, Jesus, or the Holy Spirit and I am not your judge, but I offer them to you as something to look into if you are not already a believer in Jesus Christ. Much Love! P.S. I was sorry to hear about Levi and Cody is awesome! Merry Christmas!
