I love when you get to see the job from different perspectives, great video Dave.

[@wozzle68]

Great to see things that didn't show up on Andrews video and from a different perspective. good vid thanks

[@CONCERNED1422]

Thank you helping out Andrew!

[@xavierm.3414]

Dear Mr. Dumpster it is a pleasure seeing you working with Andrew

[@westside8530]

Finally, someone to fix Andrews toys with out using a cutting torch.

[@mohatlm5095]

17:19 NO 🤣

[@homelessman2257]

Ouch! true

[@Rick-C-117]

50:22 maybe they didn’t use a cutting torch but they did roll it down a hill backwards, almost injuring/killing a friend. Andrew is reckless, he will cause a death eventually.

[@catgynt9148]

... and yet they did manage to set a few things on fire.

Hi Dave, cool to see Andrew has so many like minded people around him. Cool video especially because you can see the roller story from a different angle. Will follow you and your stories too. Greetings from Braunschweig in Germany

You two make a great team. Been watching AC for sometime now and now I have you also. I enjoy your format. Working with tools and not working the mouth too much.

Great video. This was a nail biter. You were a big help, which Andrew needs more of. And Moss and Blue seem to get along this time.

Andrew doesn't "need" help but he sure could use some. And those that help will reap loads of benefit from it.

[@smplyizzy]

Very cool. One thing is for sure you do not have worry about jacking anything up working on Andrew’s stuff.

[@JoelHershberger]

The tire is so light. You would think it was full of air. That is so funny

[@bb-fe9ur]

I love how Andrew put the hose cutter in the vise and said "this is probably how you're supposed to use this"... LoL

[@rickster9993]

Jumper cables build your own. Go to an electrical supply shop and buy your cable by the foot. They will probably have the heavy duty clips also. The cost is actually cheaper and the cables are far superior.

[@Dumpster_Dave]

Yeah I would have been better off. Napa charged me $160

[@jamestsmith4500]

@@Dumpster_Dave I made some out of old welder leads. (10 ft at least) Best set of "homemade "jumper cables I ever had !!!! And cheaper in cost...

[@paulog8813]

someone could have been hurt really bad. Glad there was a happy ending.

[@Texxy]

At work we have some telehandlers (lull, bobcat, pettibone) and we get the tires foam filled, makes them very heavy!

[@tujuprojects]

Everyone seems to have their own channel, apparently Andrew’s success has grown them like mushrooms in rain.

[@TheJester0322]

Great channel!! Had to subscribe

[@Dumpster_Dave]

Thanks

[@bruceadler-9410]

The reason the winch cable failed at +56:20 is that as the cable gets shorter the snatch block that the roller is chained to is pulling the cable sideways. As the cable gets straighter (and the snatch block is pulling more and more sideways on the winch cable) that causes the tension in the winch cable to rise exponentially. Pulling sideways on a cable can even cause the tension in the cable to exceed the tension that would be caused by just lifting the roller straight up off the ground. For example, when the angles between the roller, the winch, and the anchor tree are all equal (ie 120 degrees each) the tension in the cable is double what's actually pulling on the roller. The first set up at +55:30 (with the snatch block chained to the anchor tree, and the roller pulling inline on the winch cable) was in fact the correct setup, you just needed to use an anchor tree and chain that could withstand twice the force of the pull exerted on the roller.

[@PowerTom286]

I was wondering the whole time how these tires can still hold air. They are driven down to slicks without profile, they are very old and worn out, and they have intense dry rot on them everywhere. Two chains mounted together with the new tires would be very useful, but i think I remember Andrew mentioned that in one of his videos too. Tom 😎

[@willdutt]

recent video released on replacing them. they have an inner tube.

[@PowerTom286]

@@willdutt The old ones had an inner tube due to the age I bet, originally they are tubeless and Andrew mounted the new ones without inner tube.

[@vidsiwantoc2459]

To all the AC haters… why are you even watching this? It is after all STILL about Andrew and his equipment etc. Don’t dump on Andrew if you cannot do even a tenth of what he has achieved. And to those who don’t get his wry humor, the jokes on you!

[@Dumpster_Dave]

Well said

[@vidsiwantoc2459]

Thank you Dave. You are a great mechanic/engineer… and friend. I reckon AC is not a conventional m/e but he borders on or is a genius in so many other ways… and a natural entertainer! I think his MO of buying old junky equipment which he repairs on a need-to basis ties in with his life’s plan and purpose of cutting his cloth to suit his clothes ie his start-up years requires fine budgeting, discipline and AC definitely has way above average perseverance and discipline.

[@ericb3061]

Dumpster Dave I think you did a good job. I like your work

[@Dumpster_Dave]

Thanks

[@TheSubatomicCheese]

Probably wiser to back it up hills next time, so that it's pulling the drum and you have more control, rather than driving it uphill drum-first and having it slide all over the place. That, and having the skidder pulling it for safety. The weight of that machine, the lack of traction and the smooth drum when leading make that a death trap running it up hills of frozen dirt and ice. No ROPS could mean things go bad fast if it starts to slide off one of those mountain hills and flips.

[@Dumpster_Dave]

Good idea

[@dale5898]

He has a D6 he could have pushed it up the hill. It looked like there is somewhat of a push pad on the back of the roller.

[@Dumpster_Dave]

To icy for dozer and all down hill from road

[@mykalmcb]

Just a bunch of buddies hangin' in the man cave, putzing on Andrew's new roller. Doesn't get much better.

Considering how smooth the tires are, I can better understand why Andrew was having so much trouble getting the roller up his hill. I admire your craftsmanship and ability to work in small spaces on massive equipment. Thanks for sharing this insightful video. Wishing you and your family a blessed week, gentle weather and restful evenings. Peace

[@catgynt9148]

@@ralfdahms1035 I wonder if Andrew could cut the side walls off the old tires, bolt - rivet - screw some bars of angle iron across the slicks and wrap them around the new tires as studded snow - ice covers? What ever happened to the broken chains from the ditch witch? Could they be adapted to winter ice chains?

[@dkdj5]

PVC is usually not rated for over 100 deg. May work for a while and blow apart when it's been hot for a while.

[@hughvane]

You might consider getting those old tyres chain-wrapped (like the skidder) for use in winter conditions.

A little tip on cutting the water heater hose. Use a band clamp snugged down on the hose. Just tight enough that it doesn't move easily. Align one edge of the band clamp on the cut line of the hose for a guide. Then use a sharp box knife and cut using the band clamp as a guide.
