Buying a roller
Buying a roller
Buying a 1987 Galion VR84 vibratory roller:
0:00 into and move home.
3:20 Roll shale
5:30 roll some bluestone pieces into pothole.
6:54 2 years later working on electrical problem.
10:00 rolling over lawn mowers
15:20 Bring in garage to fix stuff, Dumpster Dave did more on his channel
24:05 Rolling rock
26:33 Replace skid steer track
29:35 Put out more shale, driveway maintenance, and rolling it
32:30 Loading on Daves truck to move to mountain property
35:00 Unload and start moving up hill, then getting it stuck
Getting it unstuck video: Coming soon
Awesome. Andrew is bringing “sketchy” back and violating engineered limits everywhere. Love the content.
Safety factors are for sippers. 🙂
$8k for that was an amazing deal. Wish I could find one for that. I’m glad the roller stayed right side up. Had my doubts for a minute. Plus even I had high sphincter tone when it started pulling the skidder over the edge. Did you have to change your shorts? Look forward to part 2.
@Albert Jones Have a link?
I’ve got an 84″ Rex for sale
Always a must-watch moment whenever Andrew gets a new machine!
All his lawnmowers start sweating
Yes but it’s a good idea to stand back
Just a tip Andrew. Never vibrate the drum when the machine is stationary. It hammers the bearings in the vibrator housings on one area. I worked for Galion many years ago. All the best.

Going downhill might be the way to go if you have access to get out, however you could probably come up with a solution going up with all your equipment.
what about running over a lawn mower?
@Steve and Jenny just like every guy ive ever known xD
He don’t listen, and he don’t learn
Just another Academy Award video from the King! I have been following AC for years now and this one is the best for nail biting action!!!!! I can’t wait to see the outcome! Thanks Andrew for all you have done for all of your viewers through the years! Take care!
This video was freaking fantastic. From crushing mowers to several people almost dying multiple times. Awesome 😂
Any other youtuber makes a whole video just of the recovery of the ROller, Andrew does not. He is a jewel in this world of YouTube.
Yeah, it’s all fun and games, until someone loses his life over a POS roller. This one is over the top on being Dodgy!!
He said it ain’t fun anymore. 😆🤣👍
Read description in the chapter sections. Getting roller u stick video coming next!
next video: “Heavy Equipment Rescue Goes WRONG!!” LOL
This is by far the best video that you put out. You actually show when things go South, and you do whatever you can to fix it. When the weather is extreme and shuts you down, you are determined to go back later to resolve the issue. Can’t wait to see your next video on this.
Perhaps use the dozer to cut a new ramp up to the road. Not too steep, obviously, so a long(ish) ramp, but more important, keep it level. Use the big dozer to pull the roller, and the skidder winch to apply side load to keep it upright. Use multiple anchor points in case of another failure, and wait till things have dried out so the ground is harder and the tree roots have a better hold. Wrap the anchor points as close to the ground as possible to avoid applying leverage to the tree. Maybe time to invest in a heavy duty Yankum Rope of the size that Zach Millennial Farmer uses. I’d suggest asking Alan (of Yankum ropes) to sponsor Andrew, but I suspect he wouldn’t want to support Andrew’s ever more sketchy work practices. Note how he said ‘Time to put on the wheel chains’ AFTER the near disaster. A lot of hill farmers and forestry works are killed by being crushed under rolled equipment they are operating. Make sure you have at least one person standing back far enough to not get hurt so they can call 911.
Admittedly one of the more creative ways I’ve seen Andrew remove undesirable trees
