Moving rock with a track loader

Using a cat 977 track loader and cat 988 wheel loader to move rock down a hill.
B footage that didn't fit in the better video I am editing now.

[@JCTyler64]

Thanks Andrew, solid video. I think most viewers just like to see your innovation, common sense and you getting stuff done.

[@retro8696]

I also like how he is not a sell out like the rest of KZbin and it’s rare when he makes any videos about the stuff he sells

[@mannymercado716]

Wow you are the epitome of Archimedes. Give me a lever and I can move the world and here you are moving mountains! Amazing!

[@22gonefishing]

Gotta love Cody, sees that big boulder starting to slide and Cody says see ya and bolts outta there. Good job Cody.

[@RemedialRob]

I have to admit I'm confused how none of Andrew's dogs ever seem to get injured. I've had a lot of dogs in my lifetime and even the smartest didn't seem to have anywhere near the situational awareness Levi had and Cody has. Add to that that despite their situational awareness they remain bold and fearless enough to constantly be in and all around the thick of whatever Andrew is doing and it both fascinates and terrifies me. I hope Cody never gets hurt. He certainly seems to know exactly when to get the hell out if the way. But man is that dog always right on top of everything that's going on.

[@BradSabako]

I think it’s because he exposes them to so much activity with big machines, that they just learn!

[@billsmith5166]

Me too. I'd have been picking mine up with spatulas.

[@ducewags]

@Robert Tracy he has the smartest kids any human could have, fur kids.

[@young11984]

He is definitely aware and prepared to jet if something moves the wrong way, i even yelled for him to move when that big ass rock moved a little. He flinched when it moved then just stayed when it stopped, he will be fine though

[@mmiller1188]

I think it's because they're exposed to it right from the start. I apparently have a smart breed of dog (german shepherd). I can guarantee she'd be run over immediately. She's just not that smart haha. She'll get confused when I'm walking her and cut me off and trip me 3 or 4 times.

[@campingwithhomer7371]

Its always nice watching you doing improvements on your place, especially when the heavy equipment is involved. The tracked and rubber tire loaders looked like they ran great with nothing breaking. Great job Andrew.!

The track loader blew a pipe that had to be welded and bent some covers... The wheel loader seems to be doing great. Seems like something with a blade would be a great next purchase....

Hey Andrew, those two loaders are beasts. They can get the job done. Now I see why you bought them. Stay safe

I’d like to see him with his own house and what could do with it.

[@1nvisible1]

*Oh, the things I could do with a **_Bulldozer!_** Almost looks like he's lowering @**9:52** the level on the left to match the Castle ground floor grade. Would be great to have that extra space. Put in a tennis court, airfield, etc*

I see a plan coming together, clear the turning circle, widen the garage building? Excavating under that rock face gives me the creeps btw.

[@RobTuck1475]

Levi taught Cody well, Cody knew when to get out of the way just as that huge boulder started to head his way, truly amazing. Andrew, thanks again for sharing another great video. Stay my friend.

[@casey2409]

You can always expect quality well made and edited videos. 👌 Andrew in my opinion is #1 on youtube. Great content and his work ethic is second to none. He also is super awesome at fixing anything. Great stuff Andrew. Please keep those videos coming I can't seem to get enough. I'm waiting to see the new 6633 in action. Thank you Andrew

[@born2soon]

If there were to be an award statue for KZbin videos I think it should be called The Levi, and the first one should go to Andrew Camarata for Outstanding Videography. Bravo, Andrew! Bravo!

[@jakebroesky4409]

editing out your helpers names and rarely ever giving them credit is pretty scumbag IMO I like his videos and have been watching a lot longer then most when his container castle was just getting started and it only gets worse like he doesn;t want to aknowledge anyone anymore for some reason. I wonder why he does this. Look at his last video of that guy that helped him a lot and only at the very end he mentions his first name briefly and only once and saus his channel but says no more and lists no link. So he purposely does that for some reason??? Very entertaining overall but he also rides a bit on others efforts and does not not or rarely gives them any credit

[@BryanSalyersXD]

I dunno man. Maybe he's busy. Just chill out.

[@casey2409]

@@jakebroesky4409 I don't think 🤔 it's giving credit. I think it's privacy. Some people may not want to be named and glorified. The guy that went over and helped him with the 988 and ran it. He has his own channel and he states in his video that he contacted Andrew and asked if he could drive 5 hours to meet and help Andrew. Not the other way around. I think he is doing a great job and he is keeping people's identity private when they may not want to be named. Got to give the benefit of the doubt here

[@chapc]

Thanks. I love watching you do jobs. It is very satisfying to see you working on properties for folks. I find so much value in getting and and getting a job done, but also seeing the results of your efforts for years to come. Very cool.

"So I'm going to build a garage for all my toys I have, on this nice pad I made". Quote from Andrew Camarata in the future. Thank you Andrew for the fantastic shows, and the time to make them.

[@roberthuron9160]

It's so great when you see two full bucket operators,go at it! Makes everything look easy,but that's an illusion,as there are unspoken and tacit understanding! Plus,a great deal of trust,couldn't get a better partner to work with,as each move is anticipated,and the follow through is already done! Thank you for the education,and observation time!! NICE WORK,AND THE END RESULT WILL BE AWESOME 👌 👏 👍 😍!

[@theredneckgarage1493]

Love that 988k. Massive piece of equipment. Seems to run and operate pretty good. Love these videos!!

[@randallparker8477]

I operated a 1989 or 1990 Cat 966E for 2 years 10 hrs a day, for an excavation/construction company digging basements, hauling off/in with a 1988 Pete rock dump. They used the rock dump as it was lower to load with the 966. Most of the soils around were mainly sandy/gravely with clays down 10 15 feet, some caliche. It beat me up! I cannot begin to imagine digging in schist and shale! Great Vid!

[@larannar123]

It's amazing to see how efficient Andrew is at moving material...👍 The other bucket was twice the size and could barely keep pace with the amount of material Andrew was storing!!!😎

[@allenbourassa1579]

One thing for sure,You are not afraid to make the machinery work.Love what you are doing to your property Andrew!

[@thekingtroll2]

That looks like so much fun. Moving rocks? BOULDERS! I liked how that big one literally split in two on the first tumble. I've never driven one but I think I would love to do that one day for a full day for fun. The thing is, when Andrews done and you see it again in a few weeks, it always looks like that was the way it always looked naturally. That is going to look so clean and neat and make for a nice driveway and parking area. We should gofundme for him to start a huge building to keep all his big rigs in there!

[@stovepipe6769]

These are the type of videos that I miss from your channel Andrew. Keep up the awesome work.

That machine is a beast, I am impressed! Looking forward to seeing more.

[@AndrewCamarata]

Thank you for the gift

[@rbhillner]

I whole heartily agree with the fact the videos are very well done. What I wonder about, is the material removal of the hillside and the possibility of later washouts or landslides. But I was impressed with the equipment variety used! Good stuff.

[@philipmorehouse1069]

Great opening video!!! Love the way you show what you're doing and then, just before it starts to get boring you switch into high gear (speed up action) and it becomes a whole new production. Then you bring in other elements of what is going on and just when you think it can't get any better, you start to show a bigger picture. Now we have seen the cake - the music is the frosting. Congrats, this deserves an Emmy. p.r.morehouse - author

I've been using a wheeled Mahindra tractor to move earth and let me tell you, I really gained an appreciation for the traction, torque, and stability you get with a tracked platform. That Mahindra tips over, I've had to put on the PTO box blade with concrete bags on top of it just to keep it from going endo.

I feel silly now. A few videos ago, I commented about how that hill didn't look stable, and if Andrew kept digging away at it, those big rocks on top were likely to fall. I didn't realize that that was the goal. Mission accomplished. I think the new slope will be a welcome improvement.

[@thejudgemeister]

Well...this is the first video he has made (I think) where I was concerned for his safety. Some of those rocks were bigger than the loader and I kept seeing the loader slide sideways a little. That hill still doesn't look stable to me but I am no engineer.
