I don't own a single piece of equipment, nor do I work with any in my daily life. However, after watching so many of these videos, I am convinced I could at least partially replace a track on a skid steer.

When I worked underground at the now closed Dome Gold Mine in Timmins ON, we had two Kubota KH41 mini excavators for mostly ditching jobs to keep the rail trackage in good shape. Due to the average size of the drift (underground tunnel) about 10'x12', it was a difficult job to change-out a Kubota track, all manually and 2 workers using 4' scaling bars to rerail the rubber track, and a 'lot' of swearing too! This job was something me the operator of the Kubota and the required mechanic 'dreaded' to do because of the drift size constrainsts, mostly....thank god doing this was a rare occurence!🤔😭😠

Just sharing what I did. I was a one man winter logger in NY state. I always hated cleaning tracks at the end of the day. I started parking on two logs and built a cheap plastic hut around the dozer. I used rough cut lumber and heavy plastic vaper barrier. I got to the site before daylight fired up the generator and stuck my heater inside the hut. 45 min it was 70 inside and I was ready to go to work. Winter days are short I was able to work till dark and start at first light. It was very easy on the dozer, all of the fluids were warm, started without effort. I wasn't as tough as Andrew!

Something I've always done when there is freezing temperatures and I have been working in mud with any tracked machine is to shovel all the mud off of the machine at the end of the day. It keeps it from freezing to the frame and being a bitch to shovel off later when you need to chain the machine down on a trailer to move it. It also keeps the mud that gets around seals from freezing into them possible screwing them up. Another benefit to regularly cleaning the track frame off any time of year is that the mud and or dirt doesn't build up behind the sprocket in that hard to reach area so when you try to dig it out later it doesn't take half an hour on each side. Also never try to move a tracked machine in freezing conditions that has sat over night before you raise the tracks off the ground unsticking them by picking the machine up with the blade or bucket or in the case of a trackhoe picking each side of the machine up to free it and then running each track while up off the ground to make sure it's not frozen. Pretty easy to do, doesn't take that much time and keeps you from possibly tearing something up.

And make sure they dont stand in mud. Drive them up on a couple of logs, so they dont freeze to the ground.

You would think he would learn from the past he has had skid steers freeze up before from not cleaning the undercarriage. If you’ve ever watched any of his videos he would never cut it as an operator for company I know. (Ruff as a corn cob)

The page "Andrew Camarata Fan Club" is sort of ser up so we couldn't post videos and rejects them automatically. I tried to post a suoer funny vid about 6 labs retrievers trying to get into a plastic container after lunch, the administrator rejects it automatically so deduced us set up like that. So I walked. Take care and keep producing.

More power to you Andrew for doing this in the cold. Just the psychological warfare with the deep snow would drive me nuts and I'd have to clear it off. Speaking of clearing off, I'm surprised you left the dirt on the machine as it only created more hassles. Regardless, thanks bunches wishing you abundant blessings of all that's good.

Love watching you work. Having help is a plus. For the mud you need a wood chipper That can handle your logs. Larger then 5" is fire wood for me. But if you cover the ground you work on with woodchips, Less mud to deal with.

One good thing about Andrew having the occasional girlfriend is the timing. I am glad they are there to help him when he has them. If you can’t find a marriage partner then it’s good to have these girls every now and then. He don’t need them. But having them occasionally is good too. ❤😊

You are the Jascha Heifetz of earth moving gear. Have you considered buying a used light tower at auction? You can light up the place, but more importantly provide 240VAC single phase or 120VAC for your site, depending upon which model you buy. My little 6KW backfeeds my house for basic needs and will run for days on a tank of diesel.

Cody might need a doggy coat when you are more stationary in the cold. He looks like he's pretty cold there at the end. They make thinner reflective-lined waterproof coats to keep his body heat in.

Andrew, while you were attempting to get the mud out of the track assy at the beginning of the video, it was funny watching Cody watching your hand, or should I say your glove moving back and forth like he was watching a tennis match. Then he runs off with your strap. That dog is a mess. Thanks for the video.

I think my favorite thing about AC videos is the ratio of talking to doing. So many other channels just talk and talk and talk about what they are going to do rather than just doing it. Like literally 50% of the video they are just holding the camera and talking. AC is like 2% talk and 98% doing which is perfect.

Wow, that was an amazingly beautiful film, the scenery, and the snow for someone that has not seen it is just wild to look at, I can imagine that it makes many things harder to do? I was amazed to see how easily that Take just started, went and drove where I remember watching you for hours on end with the Bobcat battling to break tracks free and just get it to roll and move first and you still have a lot of material caked in there so would you say you're getting a better run from your Takeuhchi's and how many hours do you have or bought them with as I would love to know what you worry about and more importantly what you are not afraid of when you purchase your gear? I now know if a diesel tractor runs and I can get it started then I pretty much don't care past that point and as a Person with miles of miles under your belt it all comes down to experience and the fun for me of getting stuff going when people just had a lack of knowledge? Here in Australia the electronics on a lot of Bobcat stuff is problematic and once they start giving you trouble then there is a lot of money and hassle involved, would you also say you are happy with your IHI as you seem to jump on it like it's your go-to Fav? Anyway thanks so much for taking us along for the ride as usual your filming is stunning Oh and any news on Codie as a Dad? also was Codie related to Levi? Best of Luck and Best wishes from Down Under and wishing you a safe and happy playtime with lots of new adventures as I love your Bush fixes and simple practical solutions to getting things done. Cheers Garry
