Taking down dead Ash trees

Pushing over dead Ash trees killed by the emerald ash borer, removing the stumps, and grading the area. May 2017. Using a Yanmar B50 excavator and Ford 1520 tractor.

[@henray76]

These videos have a quality that makes them rewatchable many times

[@sixosixo]

That Yanmar is a tough little Mini-ex. You are one hard working young man, Andrew.

[@gedward777]

Andrew, I'm only a spectator and have been for a while now, I prefer to hear the equipment versus the background music. I enjoy listening to you and keep the video's coming.

[@grandpasussie7122]

That yard looks great, awesome job Andrew

[@billycrockett886]

Andrew,you seem like a kid living his dream.keep up the great videos.

[@mossdown]

You are extremely proficient with all your equipment. Its good to see someone not learning on the job. I could work with you anytime. Thanks for the fantastic videos.

[@raincoast9010]

I laughed when you pulled out the bobcat, i though yeah sure "helping someone" It looked like you were going to tow the machine all the way home ! LOL

[@davidnichols1363]

It looked like a tractor pull .The guy didn't even get the wheels rolling.

[@anoka114]

Will you bring my child into this world with your Yanmar?

Awesome job here Andrew. Looks like plenty of firewood. Great videos 👍👍👍

[@stevelawrence233]

I don’t know what you charge, but whatever it is, it’s a bargain for the quality work you do!

[@dloglesby57]

I love Andrew's way of getting out of holes, just turn the machine around and let it help you out:-).amazing that you got the truck out, seriously didn;t think you would for a second or two, and then,just like Andrew to never give up, it makes it out! grounds look amazing after you were all done..

[@jrblanke]

Id love to see an update on how the grass grew in!

[@thomasdunham5427]

when your snatching something try putting an old tire in the middle of two chains or webs it takes the shock out.

Yanma all day love your videos Andrew

[@bohhica1]

You sir are one badass worker that can do it all !

[@sigmafastener]

How his tiny creature helps him on his job is never fail to amaze me. I would say it's impossible to pull out a stucked and fully loaded ten wheeler with this machine if i didn't see this video. And next clearing some big trees. It's really2 unstoppable machine.

[@mjethier]

Still cant believe the balls that Yanmar has for its size.

[@marckilpatrick]

love the welded on u.s.a on the bucket . i enjoy the videos, keep up the hard work

[@quentinaskin6752]

Yeah I saw that I'm from new Zealand but I love the USA welded on the bucket what I'd do been a welder and all it tells everyone it's mine piss off or rent it 4 box of beer.

[@DeerParkFarmstead]

Awesome! I like how much you use the blade on the mini ex. It certainly saves time from having to use the skid steer I’m sure.

[@badgejohnson5596]

Like most people here I've amazed with all Mr. C. does and his excellent quality uploads. I've subbed and voted up almost all of his videos and wish him very, very well. He one of the best and most interesting YTers. I hope he makes many more.

[@lincolnlibby2086]

The hole that pushing a tree over leaves ?, is it called an ash-hole?

[@wetdixiebellelingerie3014]

Please leave the Internet!!

[@markduncan6690]

Andrew! You are indeed in wrecking mode! You sure know how to move yourself - when danger appears!

[@morgansword]

many a home owner owes you a smile of gratitude. Without you they would have jungles for back yards. Ruff working alone and then get stuck. your heart will sink faster than a brookland hotdog at a wedding outdoors. I have broke motor mounts and cab bolts when the truck would sink and twist, just praying it didn't go over. I hit the down position as quick as I could to keep from rolling over but it happens anyway. Just life on life's terms, nice job

[@orgcoast5990]

I realize this is a old video but I hope you have a plethora of spare parts for that Yanmar. What an incredible machine it has been for you. Keep it running; the replacement will be mega bucks.

[@AndrewCamarata]

That yanmar doesn't need spare parts.

[@aldelani]

@@AndrewCamarata that's right. Just saw your other vid from 2019, you said for the yanmar, it hardly to never ever breaks so no need to worry bout spare parts"

[@billsmith5166]

Really looks nice. I can almost see a fairway.

[@transplant5449]

nice job andrew, you do do very good work and you stay busy too

[@workinonitSurge]

Beautiful job Camarata!

[@esquad5406]

Part of being a good operator is knowing when to run for it!

[@buddyreed2623]

Andrew, I think that pushing down a tree, in the long run, is faster than using a chain saw then digging up the stump. And the bobcats wheels barely turned.

[@georgepeters2078]

Love your vids! You do more work in a day than a lot of people do in a week.

Andrew you should look into hydro seeding it's a system of mulch and grass seed mixture that binds to the earth verywell for big areas that you clean. If you're looking for alternative ways to seed a property.

That Yanmar is stronger that it looks like it would be. What year model is that machine?

[@AndrewCamarata]

fwflyer78 yes, that thing is very strong, I think it's a 1990, it's a B 50

[@bbqpitboybillyricker-pitma9415]

It’s a 1990 Yanmar B50

[@surfjat15]

Andrew ever consider buying a big honker commercial grade stump grinder ? i’m surpised of all the tools that’s something you haven’t purchased yet to put to work i’m sure you could easily get one that needs work and make a video out of it !!!

Love your vids! you have nice skills and are hard working . Its just entertainment to watch

[@robert3302]

Beautiful job a always. I was a little nervous watching that Bobcat jerking your dump truck by the front bumper like that. I have seen trucks lose their whole front end that way. You use your equipment hard, but you seem to know its limits.

[@AndrewCamarata]

Thanks, I welded that bumper on there, that bobcat would never pull that truck apart.

[@paulwhited117]

Next time try pulling with the bobcat from the bucket which you can stick in the ground and curl and get double duty from tires and the bucket. Been there done that. Just spreading along some learned from being there wisdom. Lol.

[@barr2644]

Man I bet that never gets old...

[@jackjacke4654]

Great job! Looks Awesome....

[@thomas5956]

andrew another great video. i have a question tho. are the trees the typical american ash tree species called fraxinus americana and how are they growing in your region? fast, high? is the wood good? thanks in advance

[@sakiamran11]

I did learn lots of things.

[@billgordon5717]

Ash trees were such beautiful trees. Then came the borers. Damn the borers.

[@eldar6568]

Hey Andrew, Love your videos. Could you build yourself a frame around the top of your Yanmar for safety? Consider a welded rectangle attached to the "T" posts on each side of your machine with gusset bars going to the round rear end guards. Then reattach the cap tot he rectangle?

[@oldodger]

Pretty tough on the equipment Andrew !

[@eldar6568]

This way you'll still have a clear open front view but will also have some overhead protection from falling limbs or trees.

[@TheOboeCrack]

I was sad about the tree at 1:50, don’t know why. I’ve seen you tore down hundreds of them, but I loved this species in particular.

[@henray76]

knowing how to properly dismount is very important 6:50

[@peternicholsonu6090]

Loved it when you took off from your machine...takes brains to not risk your wellbeing. My dad used to quote someone “ he who fights and runs away..lives to fight another day”!

[@alcapon4202]

That poor dump truck and what you put it through well ( it is what it is) it gets the job done that is a true Workhorse

[@davedoublebarrel518]

We had the same problem in Canada with the Emerald ash borer. Most Ash trees were infected and died

[@joelaughlin5532]

I’m glad you have a good heart!

[@mschmitz57]

Looks like you took the Bobcat on a Nantucket Sleigh RIde.

[@sharonwiley2893]

This is so beautiful my dear you did a very good jobs cleaning the areas it is way better then it was the last time ok god bless you and your family and friends ok don't be a follower be a leader in your own business and your own life ok peace of mind ok

[@Dev_Everything]

When I first saw the title I read "taking down dead ass trees"

[@1ton4god]

Have you ever thought about building a steel square frame around your door on your Ford dump truck. To where you still have the ability to spread gravel or tailgate. But you can swing it out to the right all the way around the side of the truck so it would stop ripping it off? It's pretty simple process if you look at one of them?

[@bomackful]

Did you revisit this to show how that yard looks like after it grew back in, in any videos?

[@rolfnilsen6385]

Is there a market for firewood in your area? With a big firewood processor you could sell firewood in big-bags. Processing during winter would fill inn any slow time in the contractor market. Just a thought - you have probably already considered it and not found it worthwhile. Scary scene when the tree hooked to the thumb! Nice reaction and jump though!

[@AndrewCamarata]

You can make money selling fire wood, but I would rather be doing something else.

[@annechristiansen941]

Godt jobba, Andrew. 👍🤗👍

[@donaldlewis9734]

Great Video. Thanks

[@johnfurey6569]

Job came out nice

[@jimmydinks]

When driving in those large pins,,,,a little bit of emory paper sure helps out first. #80 grit can knock off the rust and paint pretty quick.

[@edgarbleikur1929]

Sweet! Would be good to see that lawn when the grass grows...

[@leonmarut917]

good job again mr

[@MichaelNatrin]

You make it look easy

[@thesikoone402]

Good job bro keep up the good work homie 👊

[@RolandElliottFirstG]

When you need someone to help drive the other vehicle nobody is around,,, I have jammed the skid steer in forward and then got out and run the bogged truck forward in one instance when on a job on my own, the truck will pull up the skid steer when its out of the hole. Sometimes you have to do what you have to do.

[@civilizeddelinquent563]

Haha nice. He had a video on here where his Yanmar pulled his dump truck out while he was in the truck.

Great job Andrew! Hard work but so much satisfaction to stand back at the end of the day and see what you accomplished! Yard looks great! 'ol Yanmar and the Ford dump got quite the work out! You take any of that wood to the mill or just burn it? Man, you must have fire wood for ever! That's so awesome!

[@AndrewCamarata]

BarnStangz I didn't bother milling any of that. Just fire wood.

[@KMoran-cw2fd]

Really nice job. How long did it actually take to do it?

[@AndrewCamarata]

I cant remember, maybe 5 days there.

This video makes me wonder if Andrew has a business arrangement with a firewood guy. All this ash would be good firewood.
