Replacing some hoses on a Hitachi EX100 excavator, oil change, grease. installing a forklift starter, loading shale into a dump truck, then spreading it on a driveway.

    It's amazing how good that garage looks. That really perks up the area

    Love the old EX 100 Hitachi gosh I remember when that was Andrew's "big" excavator. That goes back a few years. Loved the content then and still do.
  • I’ll never understand why Andrew’s videos are so simple yet so much better than anyone else’s. I could watch him tinker around his yard for hours.

    When I was a kid, I'd stay up late watching TV. Now we're staying up late watching Andrew work! Great stuff!

    Cody and Blue: the most jacked LABS on the internet. 💪 They look like racehorses.

    Watching and learning from and about Andrew’s projects, procedures, and love for his dogs make perfect videos. Young adults wishing to know property and equipment maintenance, as well as construction, could benefit from watching Andrew.
  • I work in a stamping plant in maintenance. For years when we needed a hose made, and we have literally thousands, it was a lot of downtime heading down the street to the Tractor Supply to have them made, and with the myriad of fittings we require, occasionally they didn't have what we needed. I finally convinced the boss to invest in a hose swager machine. We went with the Parker and Parker hose/fittings. It came with 6 sizes of crimping dies and we bought 6 spools of hydraulic hose. The real investment is in the hundreds of fittings needed. We're undergoing a commonality program to switch every fitting to common size. Eventually we will get it all together. But every maintenance man who owns a log splitter or tractor, they all have Parker hoses on them now! lol I wonder how that happened...must be a coincidence.

    Thank you for sharing your videos... I am just and old lady now and watching them reminds me of my childhood watching my father work on his and the neighbors cars, trucks, etc. You remind me a great deal of my father. Thanks again!😀

    It’s Saturday night and I’m just about to go to bed. Andrew drops a video. Bed can wait. 💪🏼🔥

    Andrew your knowledge of jumping around from machine to machine, whether doing maintenance or troubleshooting is simply amazing. Its always why your videos are so interesting, you never know what youll get into to next.

    Nice to have the rock at your back yard, Great resource. saves TONS of money !
  • @327JohnnySS
    Andrew your enclosed garage looks really great. Man that is some blue shale from those mountains.
  • @caryhuffii7224
    One tip I got for you to hit a few of the sides of those hydraulic fittings with a air hammer and they loosen up. One of the best things I was taught by an old head while I worked on trash trucks.
  • @sfsgcsvxcv
    andrew, you should put a small solar panel on each of your machines so they are constantly charged. A 12v (or 24V) charge controller is quite cheap and small form factor.

    The Hitachi has been a very loyal machin.....simple....no complex electronics....😊
  • @samonthe
    This is one channel i will give a thumb up before even watching.
  • It never ceases to amaze me how much you have learnt,I bet self taught,for someone of younger years. I am in awe and somewhat jealous Andrew🤩👍
  • @budlite8207
    Have never seen a person install a grease zert with a drill. We always do them by hand. Good job. Wish I had rock on the property to fix my driveway, good job!

    Sunday afternoon here, I was outside laying bricks came inside for a coffee. The bricks can be done tomorrow. Just love watching this young fellow fix, his machinery. Like the saying goes like a well oiled machine.
