And a picture showing probably a third of the equipment he owns. There was another picture showing the rest of the stuff towards the right but couldn't find it. He maybe me working on a video covering all of the machines. Also, that Koehring excavator hadn't made an appearance yet.

I don’t know why he wouldn’t drill and blast that rock vs beating up equipment chipping away at it.

Have definitely heard him mention more than once "I'd really like to blast this hillside, but...", and then proceed to smash equipment into it repeatedly instead lol.

Strictly entertainment for me. (you Tube), nothing more.

 

[IndyJay]

Well, the radio installation went much more smoothly this time and with a better fit and finish.

I found it a bit hilarious that he dogged out the previous owner's hacking of the wiring...

Maybe he would loose too much video money if the project actually got done vs screwing around with it.

 

[deezler]

Sort of curious what the project really is though. Does he need a big flat yard for storing all his equipment? Or is he just buying the equipment to mess around with? He's amassing a full stone quarry's worth of heavy equipment, just to mess around with on his rocky hillside, seems like. Guess the youtube money is flowing nicely.

He does excavation work. How much is debatable. I think his main source of income is messing around on his land and making videos about it.

Yeah I see he does still have the occasional video about doing odd jobs or driveway work. But it doesn't appear that he has the means to transport his large machinery (dozers, wheel loaders, etc) or the motivation to acquire such truck/trailer/permits anyway. So I guess the messing around at home to make youtube vids is primary.

Is the 10 wheel dump truck with the black cab in the pulling video his? If so, that (with an appropriate trailer) that could haul most of his equipment (up to the "medium" size stuff), the big payloader and some of the other bigger machines would obviously need a semi, but he likely knows someone with those if he is getting these hauled home.

He has a dump truck and a 40K trailer. That handles 95% of the equipment.

I really don't see a need to go bigger. How many land owner jobs require that new 944 or D7?

 

[Loaderman22]

Maybe he's prepping to take on bigger site work jobs. I know a few companies around his/my area that have large equipment like this, off road Volvo articulating dump trucks and 988 (or similar) loaders In fact one recently closed up shop and there was a huge machinery auction. If the link is still up I will look to see if any of the equipment matches up & report back. Maybe he needs business expenses to write off the YouTube money before tax time, who knows? Maybe he's like me and fulfilling his childhood dreams of owning some of this stuff. I bought an old dozer this summer, mostly because I have work for it, ahh who am I kidding, I bought it because I wanted it!!

I get something out of most of his videos. Sometimes it’s how to do something. Sometimes it’s how not to do something. Sometimes it’s just a good laugh or two or shaking my head in disbelief.

At the end of the day he seems to be making his deal work for him.

He is perhaps one of the more talented "hammer mechanics" that I have observed.
Dave Kindig would be impressed with that bitchin' gap that he achieved on the tailgate!

I don’t know why so many people hate on his equipment repairs. I don’t know of anyone working on old and tired equipment that does any better. There’s lots of people working with brand new equipment that does worse repairs.

 

[old and tired]

...anyone working on old and tired equipment...

Someone asked about my equipment??? It's been dead for a while Wish someone would work on it

I've taken his approach and drilled and bolted my riding lawn mower hood back together. And wondered why I didn't do that before!?!

Believe me when I say if my new radio doesn't fit... first thing I'm reaching for is my chainsaw!!!

I do whatever I need to do to get things done at work... he just does it to the extreme. As long as it works (or gets repaired) WTH.

I've heard that the only work he takes on now is for it's YT value. Have no idea if it's true.

Also, keep in mind in addition to all the new equipment, he recently bought another piece of property, apparently for snowmobiling. That's the property where he drags the Army truck and RV up the muddy road.

I really enjoy his videos but when I saw him push that car off the hill just to smash it up, I knew he was into the click bait mode.
I don't care, still fun to watch.
Except I sure wish he would learn to put his seat belt on when working on those hills.
My BIL, lifelong excavator, rolled his dozer on a hill, thankfully slowly and he spent almost 8 months getting his shoulder repaired after
behaving like a lapidary stone inside that cab. I think the ground gave way under him.

It can’t be click bait when it happens at the end of the video without mentioning it before. His video did exactly what he said was going to happen in the video. And you’re underestimating how many people would push the car off just for fun with nobody watching.

 

[deezler]

If I had his property and semi-unlimited funds, I would probably also crash some cars off a cliff. I didn't take it as any click bait either, he didn't highlight or promote it at all. Just a little extra clip of fun.

He probably ended up with the car for free because it wouldn’t pass state inspection. I’m sure he didn’t spend much if any money to crash it.
