Andrew Camarata

He usually dives right into the repairs and gets it done without sitting around whining about it. Doing the best quality repairs for equipment that’s not on a job earning money isn’t really an option. It would cost hundreds of thousands of dollars per year to keep a fleet of equipment the size of his properly maintained.

I often wonder how he keeps the batteries from going bad in machinery he won't get back to for a year at a time.

You see him putting multiple chargers on equipment at times and he is very liberal with ether . . .

Thanks for pointing that out. I hadn't noticed.

Nearly every video involves his Honda generator and a battery charger.

From that information, I reason that Matthew's most used machines have well maintained batteries and the rest get the Honda generator and battery charger treatment. That would probably be the most economical plan for engines a sit idle for so long.

My favorite Andrew Camarata episode is the one where he tells how got started in excavation.

What's yours?

Cutting his dash with a chainsaw to install a radio... laugh my butt off as he did it and again at the stupid comments and reactions that followed...

He gets things done, no matter what it takes...

That recent shed video is funny, he does a nice job and it's a fairly large building, but he still only gets a couple pieces of equipment in it. Then turns around at the end to pan across the 25 machines "really, none of this should be outside". Good luck with that idea, Andrew, haha.

Well over a 4 hour video so lots of FF.

At 1:05:45 he's showing his new punch tool. WE had a stand alone unit at the plant every called the ironworker. Worked great until you got the dies slightly off then snap.

I don't know if you follow his "B" rated videos under his "playlist" but old Andrew said that he is expecting a son... he was fixing up a house in town.

PS. 4 almost 5 hours is way too long, good content but had to fast forward through most of it....
