Hammering rock with an excavator

Using a brand new Yanmar VIO80 excavator to hammer out some rock to make a pond.

[@rbell722]

Levi does not miss an opportunity to get wet.

[@Dream4Design]

Highly respect your business and the way how you working, using simple machinery in beginning, and growing up. Really nice to look at you! Like your life style!

[@chrisbarr1359]

I was just telling a friend that I could live very happily in a container building like yours!! Relatively inexpensive and very cool.

[@davidcarroll2908]

one thing is for sure, there is not a rock shortage up there.

[@lancemerwin7864]

Mountains are made of rock

[@phillipbonner5215]

Levi always seizes the opportunity to jump in the water

[@RickRose]

Had me worried there when you opened the floodgates and had to extricate yourself quickly. Handled it like, "No problem." You da man.

One of those buttons had to make it hammer.

[@justinchurch2366]

Andrew Camarata lol

[@wetdixiebellelingerie3014]

Andrew Camarata has just rented a new Yanmar VIO80 excavator with a detachable hydraulic jackhammer before he has just bought 2 used excavators: a Yanmar B37 with a Tramac hammer and a Kubota KX121-3 with a Rockblaster hammer.

[@jwbach5508]

Gotta tell you, Andrew, since my husband found you on youtube, he watches you nonstop! You have made a big impression; he even has me watching too. He has a lot a things he wants to say to you. I will show him how to write a comment on here on the computer- he watches on the tv, so he thinks he cannot add any comments. We will do so soon! Thank you for all your videos-he even says you are inspiring him to tackle some long overdue projects at home! :)

[@AndrewCamarata]

J W'bach ok. That’s good to hear.

[@darrellroeters4951]

Andrew I really like your videos, all the great elements, dogs, heavy equipment, description of the job, tree top videos, your talented repairs, but most of all your need not to swear, as heard in other's videos. This is a great reflection on your character.

[@northjerseykevin409]

For a few seconds I got excited for you. I thought Yanmar gave you a machine. Nice job as always

[@chrisbarr1359]

I watch some other YT channels where manufacturers are always sending them tools & equiptment (welders, compressors, table saws, portable power tools, clamps, jigs, and on and on!) to try out - in hopes of getting some 'free' exposure. Andrew, you gotta get on that gravy train of free stuff!

[@bongkar5774]

[@markbonham3477]

It's always nice to buy off the pool inspector prior to getting paid. Levi looks like he has lots of experience in the pool dept. I know you had fun running that new Yanmar thru the Camarata trials. Looks like it passed with flying colors!

[@CranialAccess]

Awesome Work Andrew! Love your explanations of the job and your skills with the excavator.

[@briangardiner1015]

I like the way you explain the job before and after. How did you like that Yanmar?

[@AndrewCamarata]

Brian Gardiner thanks. That machine was very nice.

[@Sparklift]

i own a yanmar b37-2A which is a very very reliable machine.. no wonder this one is better....

[@ndb466]

One thing about old rock quarry ponds is they’re always to clear. Great work

[@bryanviper]

Cool video, would of been nice for you to use the drone and see where the water is coming from, follow the water fall and see how far off the water comes from

[@davidmicheletti6292]

Pond looks great, what a rare outcropping

[@Box545x39]

Best channel on youtube. Keep posting forever Andrew

[@ScottyLo]

That location has some real potential to be a really cool spot It this video is a couple years old so hopefully they called you back to do some more work there. Thanks for sharing your video

[@nickchannel5364]

I feared for your rental for a second when you broke loose the water. It's like a marvel superhero movie with AC.

I saw the ad for this and thought you bought a new new excavator! I was so excited! Then I remembered you came back and made that an awesome place to hang out. I hope it filled up and stayed really clean to swim in! I guess in 20 years you can buy THAT Yanmar and I will be dead and unable to watch you anymore! lol

[@theguyguy3528]

Nice one Bro! Beautiful place to work.

[@kenball8526]

Great job getting out of hole Andrew!!

[@uknowulikethat4042]

i know you can handle your machinery after watching your video's for a while now but do you get nervous when doing certain stuff? when you lifted and went back up towards the waterfall?

[@AndrewCamarata]

uKNOWuLIKE that a drop, because I had to get out of that hole before it filled with water.

[@benkent9452]

Your a screw driver not a machine driver

They need you to put that rock sorted all around like you can. That would be a beautiful spot. You have a knack for making rock look cool around things!!

[@AndrewCamarata]

mgt00656 actually I'm in there now, just taking all the rock out.

[@MM-fe9mz]

Levi approves. Great that you have your own hammer now but I'm sure its always fun using beand new equipment.

Dude that yanmar has the widest bucket I have ever seen

[@ConstructionMachineryChannel]

Nice recording, if you did it all yourself how many times did you have to go in and out of the excavator to reposition the camera?

[@raykarl2119]

Beautiful area!

[@glenngoodale1709]

Keep up the Great work!

[@abdulbasheers9687]

This is good machine Yanmar is the solution for work Great machines 👍

[@edwardgarea7650]

ABDUL BASHEER SAMPYA Yanmar came up with the concept of the mini excavator back in 1968, and unlike American companies, stuck with the concept instead of selling the idea off to another company. They refined the machine into what you see Andrew using in this video.

[@RandyJoyce1960]

This guy know what he's doing. Very good at this type work.

[@markzaffuto3291]

Wrong again? You must be amazing to be critical of such a hard working guy. Do you have any content to share? Or just your obvious jealousy?

Must be nice being perfect. i bet you have alot of friends that love that you criticize their every move. you seem like an angry boy. If you dont like his vids then dont watch. Im sure he is not looking for your approval. He is doing a great job without your input. I bet you havent done 1/4th of what he has accomplished.

[@DieselRamcharger]

@@markzaffuto6212 I don't need to waste my customers time making youtube videos so compensate for my low wage earning ability due to being a jack ass. Your right, i couldn't fuck up 1/4 of what he has.....There is a reason every single piece of equipment he owns is ragged junk falling apart at the seams. But if you want to sneak a peek into my life you can just stare at my icon.

Love the videos, i watch them constantly but I think we can skip the music next time 👍👍 thanks Andrew for the content

Awesome music and awesome to watch.

Rock dust.

It is rock dust

[@mxp2000]

When you bring the excavator back the rental company is gonna say "What in the world were you doing??"

[@kenwhite451]

What a sweet (new car) machine wonder if they make a rotating swivel hook-up to have both bucket and hammer, or two any combo tools , like CNC machines.

[@lovroimperl49]

Very good excvator

Andrew Camarata how did the machine handle for you personally

[@AndrewCamarata]

I liked it, I am used to running 25 year old machines though. I would defiantly recommend buying a Yanmar. The 1990 Yanmar B50 excavator I've been running for years is very strong and reliable. Stay away from junk like John Deere.

[@harrisakaADHD8VY]

Andrew Camarata have ever wondered if buy a yanmar like this one u showed in the video

[@AndrewCamarata]

Do I want to buy one? I would like that machine allot, but its too expensive for me. Maybe in 15 years when I can afford it.

I've got to hammer some rock out of the way for an addition I want to put on my house, plus a few that are in the way in my yard. How long did it take for this particular job? I'm weighing a half day vs a whole day rental. I've run an excavator before but never a rock hammer on one.

They totally need to give that pond an overflow back into the stream and make a mini island.

[@johnmckeag1048]

Can you please comment on your experience using a new VIO excavator? Where I live older Yanmar machines are not only scarce they are comparatively expensive. Where are you finding all of these machines?? I live near Seattle and there is a dealer nearby who specializes in grey market equipment - I can’t seem to make any sense of his pricing scheme. Other than cost, is there a reason you gravitate to the “b” series machines? Are the older machines better? Can you make any comparison between an older Yanmar excavator such as you have and a newer VIO 35?

[@trlz]

Levi dogo approved the pond 😆
