Big Tractor, Little Job!
Today we are hauling a Kioti Dk65s on our 2023 International Mv equiped with a Miller 12 series car carrier. The Tractor weighs about 7,000lbs and our Miller Industries car carrier barely even notices it.

Today we are loading a damaged air force aircraft loader. The unit was struck by a train while in transport to a repair facility. Our 1150R barely noticed the 33k lbs and made quick work of loading it.
Rotator saves the day!

Century 1150R vs Propane Truck Rollover
zhlédnutí 9KPřed rokem
Today we had a recovery on a rolled over propane truck in a very tight space. we were fortunate to have some very sturdy trees to redirect from. There were many challenges to overcome to accomplish this recovery including the difficult access and poor ground conditions. The propane truck was fully loaded adding to the challenge, and danger. #propane #hazmat #dangerous #millerindustries #ronprat...

Today we helped a customer with a stuck tractor trailer unit. the unit just couldn't get any traction on the loose surface. the initial call sounded like the truck was very stuck in deep mud. fortunately this wasn't the case. our 1150R made quick work of an easy job! #rotator #towing #stuckinmud #towtruck #millerindustries #century #dji #drone

Heavy towing keeps us going!

Everybody loves a good recovery video but the towing keeps us going! Without our light, medium and heavy towing we wouldn't be able to have the equipment we do! Today we take a look at what's involved in a medium or heavy tow and talk a little about how important these jobs are to us!
Our New Truck, Century 1150R!

Today we had the opportunity to use our new to us 1150R on the job for the first Time! we were called to assist a customer that had gotten his skid steer stuck in the mud. unfortunately the machine will no longer run. Our new 1150R is the perfect tool for the job, we were able to lift the machine straight out of the mud, Rotate it around and set it on the customers gooseneck! #millerindustries ...
The new microphone sounded good. I personally don't like the 360 view... maybe I'm doing something wrong, I don't know! Anyway that was an interesting job because of the aircraft machinery that you don't normally see. Well anyways it was interesting to me! Have a good day!😀😀😀😀😀😀😀
The company is darn lucky that thing is built like a tank! LOL
Great to see you back in the youtube business! It's good to see good tow people!
Slow and gently wins the race. 🇺🇸🤝🇬🇧
I hope a train does not get us. Thanks for video, we missed ya.
"Going to have to line it up a little better than that " is exactly what I said 😂
👍👍💪💪
Where are you located ?
West Plains, Missouri
Nice! Set up a magnet mount on the boom.
👏👏👏👏💪💪💪 GoPro always gives me issues when it’s hot out. I switched to the DJI OSMO ACTION 3 and no longer have issues. GoPros don’t like the heat 😂
The audio could be a tad louder. Dave Sparks posted on Monday how he spent $35,000 for about $450,000 worth of things. One of them was a lift truck just like you moved. It hadn't been used in 10 years. He got it up and running after checking the fluids and hydro lines. Stay safe.
Thanks for the feedback!
Dave will likely sell his for less than that will cost to repair.
You picked a nice day to do that job. Watching from Upstate New York
Love that 1150R. Shade of Ron Pratt. LOL I didn't read the description till I made my comments. I saw the controller and recognized it. I live 2 hours from Miller Industries. It's a site to see driving to Chattanooga.
👌👌👌
I wished you had at least showed how you hooked up to the rear, considering you had a platform on the back of the s gas truck. Also be safe, use the seat belt.
Great job men...
loading a telehandler can be tricky. you sit all the way out on the edge. i put mine on my rollback often and i am still very careful. nice quick and safe job guys.
i was curious why you didnt separate the reefer from the damaged truck and tow each individually? hope you pick back up with the videos!
Simply because it's quicker and easier to tow it as a unit, To seperate it he would have to do every single step to the the unit the same exact way, plus he would then have to seperate on hook the trailer to another unit and run air to that as well. So it very well can easily be acheived but unless it has to happen for one reason or another it's just quicker to tow it as a whole unit and seperate it later if need be.
those trucks with the moffit are pretty heavy for a medium duty. i miss buying trucks from your area. very little rust was so nice.
really enjoyed this. very tight for sure. that deck winch was a nice help. looking forward to the next one.
Nice work thanks for sharing 👍
As an owner of one of these just let me say thank you for towing us! We try to do good maintenance and are generally low miles but once in a while things go wrong and ruin our trip. It's ggod to have a hero come save the day!
Landoll!
We won’t do certain ones
Hate rvs
You just popped up in my feed. I watch Ron Pratt and Pepe's Towing and they both have rotators. Good job on that propane tank recovery.
Would a 33' Super C motorhome on a Freightliner chassis be easier?
You are just the second towing and recovery channel I have found that uses the "rolling" recovery unit. Just you and Ron Pratt. I also noticed the "@417towing" at the beginning of the video. Just how close to Springfield MO are you?
Just saw, you are in West Plains. Glad i found your channel. You have gained a new subscriber.
A lot of tow companies will not town class A motorhomes.
Skillful. Good video. thanks
Super singles-most likely with an auto tranny-recipe for disaster.
Great job.
They break alot not tow friendly what so ever if you have air bags oboy
Who picks up the wood? Lol
Come on now.Ron Pratt wouldn't have said that. I've seen him do an RV or 2. :)
You got that right about Ron
It sounds like joke from this guy
Gotta be lovin that 1150R
It always sucks when picking up equipment and not having a ground guide to help. Props to the driver for stopping and not flipping it off.
👍👍👍👍
So much fun lol
Nice!
Damn talk about flooded roads. Nice job!
Nice job. Just subscribed ! Definitely recommend carrying extra batteries and a charger, that’s what I do. Don’t know what camera you’re using but my GoPro like to go through batteries fast.
Nice!💪💪
Nice work!
Nice job
That might as well bee a train!
Nice pick out.Seen to many skid steer winch outs. Some of those were done using another skid steer because the roads were to narrow or to muddy. Are you going to get your Tater wrapped with nice colors? BTW when you were using the right side controls i was wondering why you weren't using the remote. One second later you went for it. LOL Stay safe out there.
Thanks for the comment! We have our graphics on the truck now. Feel free to check out some of our other videos and you'll see the new graphics! I'm doing a walk-around of the tater this week also, stay tuned!
Nice job.Voice over and time lapse worked great. Poor Freightshaker gonna need some TLC. Just wondering about what's under the hood and the transmission. I believe Ron Pratt has the Cummins ISX 15 and an Eaton Fuller 18sp manual. Stay safe out there.
We have the same setup as Ron!
@@Towing417 Sweet. I have been following Ron for almost 2 years.He is a master on that machine. I also follow Plaza Towing in southern Cal. He hasn't posted lately and i am assuming he is doing work at Coachella and they don't want him doing videos on site. The other one I follow is Pepe's. They have 3 rotators but none are the 1150r. Josh sometimes lets his ego take over. Also according to Trent from Plaza the 1150R would be considered overweight for use in California.
Wow I thought Hal Watts from Sumter Wrecker had balls driving in the swamps of South Carolina. I wonder if Ron Pratt would have taken his 1150R down that road. I was thinking when you had the lines hooked on why you didn't have one up to and boom there you go. You had a top line. Would have been nice to see you haul that tanker out of there. Just wondering. In a case like this do you have to have a Hazmat on your CDL for a job like this? Good job and stay safe. Love what the 1150R can do.
Tow operators do not need any endorsement as long as it is a primary or emergency tow. "§383.93 - Endorsements Guidance Q&A Question 8: Do tow truck operators who hold a CDL require endorsements to tow “endorsable” vehicles? • If the driver’s towing operations are restricted to emergency “first moves” from the site of a breakdown or crash to the nearest appropriate repair facility, then no CDL endorsement of any kind is required." This is from the FMCSA website. Thanks for watching!
Thanks for your quick reply. I live in NC and often have to drive to Chattanooga TN, and I pass by Miller Industries factory 🏭. To see 👀 all those rigs is amazing and very impressive.
Ron has a 40ton 🤔
Cool just found your channel love rotators
I want to go!
