    That double screening of the ramp fold was spot on! Nice little surprise edit there👌
  • @TexasGTO
    $600 was a hell of a deal! Time and equipment would have easily been closer to $1,500 around here.

    Brush cutting is one application where it's really nice to have a closed cab with air filtration and A/C. It's cooler, quieter, and it's a whole lot less scary when running over and really pissing off wasp's nests. Great video as always Andrew.

    As far as you sad you want to build another shed at the castle, you could add solar panels, also a couple of trickle chargers for the machines so you don't have to deal with dead batteries so often.
  • Nice job Andrew! 600 seemed low considering all the trees you took down in the process.
  • @shubus
    A rare treat! Andrew took us out on an actual job. We're all wondering what that guy's going to do with all that solar power.
  • He's such a responsible man, who is capable of just about everything, I'm very impressed with his life of achievements, watching him these few months, I'm glad he's on YouTube, gives me something to watch, retirement is boring at times, thanks Andrew great job as always.

    Most brush cutters have a catch for wire now. Mine hasn't let anything past it after about 300 hours. It's just a few hooks on top of the stump jumper to catch wire if you run over it. Works great. You could probably buy or fab some up to weld on to what you have.

    Cody always amazes me at just how far he can run and run wide open too. Blue is catching up but Cody is a marathon dog lol.
  • Great episode, Andrew! Consider establishing base daily rates for all of your equipment, transportation and labor. For example: Takeuchi $500; brush cutter $150; labor $300; transportation (truck, trailer, fuel) either mileage .75+ or a zone Like UPS $100, $150, $200. Look at rental rates from local equip and they always have a delivery fee, etc for comparison. Your $600 was about half of other comments and probably close to a tractor/brush hog rental and I doubt he could have buzzed down those cedar/junipers.

    6:21 in the video there is a yellow lever under the air filter. Push that and the filter housing will tilt up making it easier to install new filters
  • Andrews videos are awesome because we as viewers are never bombarded by commercials. He isn't greedy just genuine.

    4:30 Love the reference to the absence of a torque wrench.... "Click Click"
  • Hi Andrew, I am an 80 yearold wheel chair jock and just love the careful way you handle your machinery.I worked in a similar manner and loved getting the adrenaline of the job. I remember one night back in the day one of my trucks broke down so I jumped in a truck with a few tools on a rescue mission. Unfortunately my driver and I could not fix the problem and all we had was 5 yards of rope, but we got home quite quickly. A few days later I broke down and my driver turned up without tools and the same 5 yards of rope. His revenge was sweet, driving with a less than 5 yard gap at crazy speed. We got home safely and laughed about it for many years. Enjoy what you do and stay safe.

    Under the air filter housing you'll find a latch. It lets the filter housing hinge upwards and gives better access to replace the filters.
  • Solar panels are so green, look at how many trees are getting wacked to make room for them.
  • @Uriah_mccurry
    I could watch andrew 24/7 because his content is so enjoyable, keep up the good work😊
  • @1996FordBronco
    Lol when he drifted the corner with the machine on the back of the trailer 😂
  • @p9raceway759
    That editing folding up trailer ramps seeing 2 Andrew’s was great! Happy seeing Yamaha TW200 is alive and well

    That clearing job was right up your alley. Rip, tear, bust. I think that solar is well worth installing where I live, as I only have a basic home installation and it more that supplies my home needs. The best aspect is that when you use Solar with a battery system, you don't have to worry about loss of mains power at all, ad if tied back into the grid, you can make a reasonable profit.
