Digging in a driveway with a new excavator

Getting a new Hyundai 235 excavator and using it to install a driveway into the side of a hill.

So glad to see newer machinery! Andrew, you've worked very hard and you and your company deserve it! Be well, be safe!

Glad to see a new post. Missed seeing Cody, Blue and you. It makes me smile watching them tugging on a stick. They have so much fun together. Thanks for including them in your vids. I had my doubts when you first showed where you were going to cut the new driveway. It turned out great. That loose rock was a blessing. Like your new machine. Great video production work.

It was hard to tell the difference at first, but that last drone shot really gives you a clear view of how much softer the slope is vs the old drive. Nice work as always, Andrew. Great new machine too!

Boys never actually grow up. Their toys just get bigger and more expensive. Awesome video Andrew !

Anyone that writes measurements on their hands is absolutely the guy you want working for you. Have always loved the vids Andrew.

Isn’t it funny how hard it is sometimes to explain what you are doing to someone else . It’s all so logical to you but it was nice to see him being in awe and getting the picture as you progressed .
The first time I saw your channel was years ago and you were putting in a long drive to the site where they were going to build a house . I was so impressed with how you were such a one man crew to the point you had to keep jumping out of one machine to another . Laying down the black plastic sheeting then having to go and get your gravel then lay it .
You hadn’t built your house but you had a plan and you knew how to achieve it so I just watched you job after job and this video feels like I’m reminiscing but with a bigger mean machine. X

What ever else Andrew does, you can always say his filming and editing are excellent.

So much easier to just buy excavators and have them shipped to the job instead of moving them LOL! Great vid as always!

That's a nice excavator.
As an excavator owner for 2 years for my personal use, I must say there is a huge different in knowing how to operate one and knowing what to do with it. I would have started at the bottom and worked up. That shows how much I don't know about how to do certain things. Watching Andrew is how to learn such.

I am simply amazed at how those large slabs of "rock" fracture into these little layers when you apply pressure. Simply amazed.

[grantvonditfurth]

Andrew has a wonderful vision of what he wants to end up with and how to get there, love seeing Cody and Blue enjoying life.

[taurota]

Awesome as always.Thanks for sharing and taking us along

[Duh]

I just love it when you get newer and better equipment, you are reaping what you have been sowing for so long. Cheers!

It's weird seeing Andrew buying new equipment or vehicles that aren't 20 plus years old.

Those 235's LCR are brilliant..we have 2 on a macadamia plantation in northern mozambique. Brilliant for working in tight inter row spaces. They quickly became favourites between the operators. 25% more fuel efficient than the cats too...Hitachi excavators still run circles around everything else though. Great video Andrew.

[jarrodvsinclair]

Andrew, having watched all your videos over the last few months since i discovered your channel. it is amazing to see how much you have leveled up your operators skills in the last couple of years. You really make this look easy

[NCFREEMAN]

The new Excavator is really nice Andrew. The zero tail swing is so convenient.

[billvandorn]

Congratulations on your new acquisition! You will thoroughly be happy with the 235 with its power and breakout Force I'm not sure if it says fuel efficient as a smaller model like the 220 however it sure is a game-changer with time

Isn’t it amazing how much easier the work becomes when the equipment matches the needs? 👍
