In the mid 90's I started developing medical problems. By the late 90's I could no longer work and was placed on full disability. I think this is why I get so much enjoyment from your videos. Just a simple man doing doing honest work. No embellishment, no big text popping out at you on screen like the old batman TV show I watched when I was kid.. No stupid exaggerated incidents. Honest man, honest work. Thank you for sharing.

Watching you moving that dirt and rock by hand sure gives you an appreciation for hydraulics!

Looking great there Andrew, I worked at a limestone mine for 25 yrs. Replaced many of those belt's. Always have someone check under the belt regularly since it has low clearance. When it starts building up with spillage you may have to move crusher a bit to clean underneath it. Then move back.

The fact that you started out with a lawn mower and advanced to this is impressive. Enjoy your life doing what you like. You have earned it. Very impressive.

The really good thing about winter is all the new video’s . My grandson and I watch every video together. Time together with him talking about the equipment and machines . Thank you

Andrew, you might consider getting a stacker conveyor for the crusher to dump into. You can build a much higher pile and move the conveyor in an arc to make a massive pile. I might also adjust the tracks on the 973 before you end up walking out of one (like you almost did with the crusher at 30:00). Now here is a little tip if you don't already know it. Keep the drives to the rear when turning on uneven ground. If you have to travel with the drives forward, stop and back up to cut. That keeps the bottom of the track tight so you stay in the rollers. When you walk with the drives forward, you are pushing all the slack under the rails which allows the crawler to sag into the low areas and walk out of the track as you cut. One more, A rubber tired loader is more suited for tramming around all that stone. You're just wearing out the undercarrage on the 973 and you know how expensive that can be. Crawlers are for traction and power not distance.

Some appreciation needs to be given that this man regularly is uploading movies, not videos . Amazing content keep it up Andrew !

This is the joy of not having any neighbors. Can do whatever you want and unless someone comes snooping, you have nothing to worry about. Love these videos!

Love it Andrew! Been on your channel for 10 years now, I’m 25 and have 6 pieces of equipment and running a property maintenance/ excavation business thanks to your inspiration. Lately have been in a new subdivision installing sewage pumps and lines from houses to the mains at the street and water line installs. Thanks from East TN!!! Always love your content.

As soon as I saw you flying up that icy road I knew they wouldn’t make it, you have high expectations for people who don’t need to risk so much for so little

[MrSaemichlaus]

If you want to have things nobody else has, you have to do things nobody else does. Such as going out on a mountain top in bad weather, fixing a broken machine with people who can't make it to the job site by themselves and putting the machine to work. Respect, Andrew.

[AlanSprague]

so Andrew I have a small property and watching all of your videos have been a huge inspiration to me to get stuff done and not be afraid to rent a piece of equipment when it makes sense. I have graded my own driveway and built a few outbuildings that I was able to dig the foundation for based on watching how you did it. this new series has been super fun to watch as you get the new property to were you want it.

[ryanperie]

I’d love to see a map of the roads you’re building and the purpose of all of the roads! It’s so hard to wrap your head around what you’re watching sometimes. Keep up the awesome footage. Love watching your channel!

[hughvane]

Kudos much to the two belt guys, in those freezing conditions, with the work that took a lot of manual dexterity.

[t.spurlock]

The belt installation was surprisingly very cool. But as mentioned by all, in every video, fantastic production!

[ewanstewart]

Your dogs have so much fun together and I thoroughly enjoy watching you work and them playing thanks again Andrew 👍🏻🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[dancrites]

Something strangely satisfying about watching rock being crushed. Awesome video. Thanks for sharing...

[joeanonemouse]

Having that crusher working again should help with building stable, passable roads on your new property. Great video. Thank you.
