THE PICK & PULL. RR TRUCK BURIED TO THE FRAME!!!

- Hello Ladies & Gentlemen and as always, thank you for watching!!! Today, Oscar and I put the new Western Star 9055XL to test of it's winching capabilities. We get a call for a large railroad MOW truck that is buried to the frame beside the tracks. What we didn't know was the limited space we had to work with as the truck was between the tracks and a fence. And, as simple as it may seem, we weren't suppose to allow the truck to damage the fence. This is a deceiving pull. The amount of resistance we need to overcome to get this unit moving is enormous. And, there are no solid attachment points accessible without causing damage to the truck, so I have to trust in some welding on D-rings.....not recommended!!! There are always multiple ways to reach 10. On this job, I utilize what I believe to be the best method for this situation, "The Pick & Pull"....tried and true. There are so many things going on with this situation. Has the 9055 met it's match with this job? We shall see!!!
Thank you, God, for blessing our family and our business. Watch as we continue to receive God's blessings. There is much more to come!!! I hope you enjoy this video!!!
We have a difficult and dangerous job and we take it very seriously, that doesn't mean we can't have fun and enjoy our work. We strive to be polite, professional, efficient, and safe...and still can have fun. I hope you all enjoy this video!!! Thanks for watching and God bless!!!

My common analogy, "there are many ways to reach 10". I could have approached this (any) job several different ways. The approach method is important, but more important is achieving the desired result, safely.
Again, a very special thank you to all my viewers, family, and friends who having taken the time to show their support. May God bless and protect you all!!!

I applaud whoever welded those D-Ring mounts as I've seen several that break loose with that type of strain. And cheers to Oscar for a job well done and learning from Ron.
Ron teaching is an excellent thing. I learned by getting into, rigging and doing the work. It’s tough especially when you’re doing heavy recovery work
👍👍
Love seeing the new truck at work. Oscar seems to be a terrific employee. Reminds me of Mike in some ways. Happy to hear Oscar being introduced and acknowledged. Excellent video! Super job!
Must have been in Illinois all amber lights
He could use a little practice driving and rigging. He’ll probably get it. That’s good Ron takes him out and teaches the new guys how to drive in tight spaces and teaches them about rigging and doing recovery work before he puts them on their own
👍👍
@@mikeharris3148 not necessarily; the location of the winch-out didn’t really necessitate red/blue lights
Another great job, with Oscar doing all the hard work and soaking in knowledge from Ron!! Have a great weekend, Mr Ron and crew!
Ron is a great " teacher" he'll let Oscar do most of the job, that's the best way to learn.
@@Charles-re4vdI agree!!
I would have Oscar on my team any (every) day of the week!
I like Oscar's way of working -- quickly and efficiently.
Glad to see Oscar on the job.
Miss seeing Ethan though.
You and Oscar did a great job, I’m always impressed by what you and your crew can accomplish
Wow ... what a demonstration of the pure, raw, brute force strength of the new truck.
Absolutely the correct tool for this job!
Oscar is learning quickly - a great addition to your staff 🙂
Love how Oscar is fitting in and showing all you have taught him.
The young lad is coming along great, thanks for sharing, all the best to you and your loved ones
Wow!!! Oscar be wheeling and dealing in that big ole truck!!! Drive almost good as me.!!! But he better not get any scratches or excess dirt on the truck and let Ethan see it(lol).😅😅😅
Nice job maneuvering that massive wrecker. Seems pretty hard considering how big it is. Hope you have a good day!
I’m still very impressed with Oscar, he gets on with the job, he doesn’t need constant talking to, he thinks for himself and reads the situation well. 🇺🇸🤝🇬🇧
When one started noticing the movement of the truck getting out of the mud, i all looks so simple! But the truck had to be pulled out just so! Great work by a skilled operator!!
I can just imagine the resistance that was there with that RR truck buried. Between all of the equipment on the truck, the railroad axles/wheels, and it's a tandem axle on top of that. I'd be willing to bet that truck was pushing 60,000 lbs. Great work boys.
I thought the rr worker said it was 56k when ron said he was thinking 60k. But either way just a few pounds
Oscar is definitely a keeper, intelligent and oozes logic
Awesome to see how far oscar has came!!!❤❤
Enjoyed the video. 👍
Have a Jesus filled day everyone
Greg in Michigan
You too brother! God bless you in Christ.

Whoever built that rail truck did a good job on the welds on those d-ring straps. Love seeing Oscar out with you in the new truck. Definitely knows what he’s doing and learning from the master.
You two made a tough looking gob look easy. The new machine is look like a fantastic purchase.
Definitely surprised that those D-rings on the back of that vehicle held up to that lift and pull!
Amazing what you can do with experience knowledge and the right equipment !
Oscar is the best.
You were really on the 'right track' with that one, Ron. At least that MoW truck hadn't gone 'off the rails'. That would've been bad! The job's a good 'un! Greetings from the UK. God bless.
Good morning from Southeast South Dakota
$10 says Ron stopped by a store on the way back to base & got a step - stool .. lol
That's funny.😆😆
Lol 😂
I was thinking lottery ticket as trusting those d rings to hold was like playing Russian roulette, but I dont think Mr. Pratt is the gambling for pleasure type
Well, he already has a, how he calls it, "Short persons little helper" in the Tator, so the chance is high that the new Truck will get one too. XD
The D-rings were tougher than we all expected!
Nice job in kinda tight quarters.
Very soon you will have memorized where all the equipment is
so you don't wear out doors / latches looking for things.....lol!
Awesome job Ron and Oscar! You made it look like a cake walk with the new rig. Kudos to the welder of those D-rings too.
I've learned a lot from watching your videos, and I have applied your approaches to the farm equipment I now have. Thanks for sharing your wisdom Ron.
FIRST COMMENT IS HERE GREETINGS FRM INDIA 🇮🇳 😊
I love the blue on the new truck. And that recovery went better than expected after seeing the situation. Great job Ron .
After watching so many of these I shouldn't be stunned when one goes this easily, but I was...nice work
Thanks for an absolutely amazing video!!!!
It was super interesting and extremely entertaining!!!
My compliments to you and Oscar, Ron!!!! Your new truck is absolutely wonderful, it pulled and lifted that big truck without any effort what so ever. Wow. Fantastic!!!!!
My compliment to you Ron , for turning the process over to Oscar for him to learn and have your guidance. That is the sign of a great teacher!!!!!! Nice going Ron.
The railroad should be very happy with the service you gave them. Got the truck out and no damage anywhere.
Very very nice work.
It was a pleasure to watch this one. You and Oscar did a great job. Your have a good employee in Oscar.
Thanks for everything Ron. God bless!!!!

Hello I have watched your video on Terry. I am so sorry for his trouble and wish him the best. Also I wish all at midwest Truck the best. I have watched your channel for years (7). You have shown me a lot in that time. My prayers go out to all of you and Terry!!!
Me too. I’ve used a ton of his techniques
As always Ron, you make it happen, no matter the circumstances. Also, I can't believe how quickly Oscar has adapted. I've seen such dramatic growth and eagerness to learn in every situation.Kudo's Oscar. You will be a Super Star in the Rotater, Towing and Wrecker industry. Keep on keepin on My Brother.
Another great job for Ron and his team.
Keep up with the good work Ron and team love watching you on CZcams god bless
Ron Pratt you are the master.
Good morning Ron Pratt and family
Wow, that was a deep truck. Great job, Nice to see Oscar out he did a nice job. he has a great trainer. have a great week.
Greetings from the UK. I enjoyed this vid. You were working in a very confined space . Oscar should get an Oscar for his driving skills, missing the concrete walls by inches.!! You have some great employees Ron and Oscar is coming along very nicely. You work very well together!! Best Wishes Roy W.
What a great job that new truck does. You and Oscar make a great team for get the job done! As always God bless.
Oh wow, that predicament they got themselves into Ron. That had to be challenge to get that out of there. Gret recovery guys and the hard work put into it. God Bless you guys in all you do.
A second beast. Nice job.
It really pays to have the best equipment and know hows to useit. God bless your crew
Ron's laugh! Ron The Mad- Tow Scientist!
You and Oscar make a great team! You both work well together. This was a different one for sure. I had faith in you guys but not the D rings! They looked like they would snap for sure.
those D-rings made me nervous. They were the weakest link for sure.
Great job Ron and Oscar the new truck is a BEAST and a great add to the fleet as always stay safe and GOD BLESS you all
16:16 "I love it when a plan comes together!" Way to go HANNIBAL SMITH!
Oscar is coming along nicely course he's had good training from the best ! I don't think the 50ton broke a sweat on this job ! Lol
Another neat Job Oscar, well done lad👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🥰🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🇬🇧
Good exercise in geometry! Be nice if the folks building the trucks would realize they're going to get stuck so make recovery easy. I'll usually try to use the 1 inch d-rings but still those are only rated for 15k wll way lower than the mighty wrecker. I have seen a locomotive recover a mired excavator with a 2 inch cable, it was like a big dog tied to a coffee cup.
Even after all the years on the job you can still hear Ron's enthusiasm
Ron, something to consider for the next truck you get, have the lift axle be at the rear instead of the front and it'll give you a better turning radius.
Yes the welder who welded those D-rings on definitely needs to be teaching others
nice job guys
Another notch for the star
What a beast.
That truck is strong.
Well executed job Ron
As always, a great example of applied physics in action. Peace brother
Great job Ron and crew Stay safe and God bless
When you guys pulled up I was thinking spreader bar and really thought that after I saw the D-rings. Those things welded on that truck very well. I had to get one out like that up here in Michigan ended up picking it with a spreader. Great job guys. Take care be safe and God Bless.
Greg
Ron, you need to get you a pair of stilts that sheetrock guys use. That would make you about two feet taller. Only problem, the Prattfalls would be terrible.
when the customer finds a way to give you a test. lol. You have already did the simple jobs for them and they say try this, 60k pounds axle depth, leaning into a fence on a rail road right of way, in an alley.... the only other complication could they could give is on its side, lol good job you make it look so easy.
You forgot the arc nemesis, one of Ron's favorites
Love it when a plan comes together & the welds hold
Ron - If you could get the doors of the truck's boxes to fold completely down & flat against the truck, then you could use the wheel rims as a step.
They really had that truck stuck, but no match to the new truck,thumbs up, great video
Another amazing job
Good afternoon Ron Pratt and family I hope you have a wonderful day and weekend. God Bless
Great job Oscar and Ron. Is this the biggest pull with the new Star?
Always good to see Oscar on board
Even with the small area you guys got him out of the hole he was in. Good job.
Whoever did those D ring welds was old school. Amazing that they held. The 50 ton is
already proving to be a wise investment.
Those welded D-rings held out well.
I feel your pain when it comes to height issues lol I need a step stool for everything 😂 God bless. Have a good week.
That new truck dose awesome work and u need to grow a little lol😂😂😂😂😂 god bless you and your family Ron
Thank you for another Great video. Cheers
Good truck make a great day even better. With great crew, the day become perfect 👍👍👍
It's good to hear you're liking the truck. My concern was the weight of the blocks that attach for hook up. Also the weight of the new (orange) hooks. Both a little bit over-engineered, imo. But I'm not working with them. So I can't say for sure at all. Just leaving some comments. ✌
Another great job Guy's
Very smooth nice work 👍👍👍👍👍😊
" I love it when a plan comes together " a cool nof to The Ateam , 😂
Great work y’all
Another job well done ron!
Ron, just an FYI for you. The Hi-rails put an extra 5 - 6000 lbs on the front axles of that truck and an extra 8 - 10000 lbs on the back, so be careful when pulling a hi-rail truck. I worked on the railway as a mechanic for 33 years, and saw lots like that.
I watching your videos and I have my bells on your videos and I'm subscribed to your videos and 👍 ☝
You would think them railroad guys would have just got them a locomotive there and drug the little old truck. Great we got to see the Pro's at work. Thanks.
Great job guys
Love the video
Keep up the good work
thanks for sharing
I agree, I'd have never guessed those d rings would have held.
Great job
Morning Ron, I hope you don't mind but European wheel stand off lifting / fixing point would help here as they also allow the wheels to rotate when pulling.
Glad those d rings held this time 😅
Good morning Ron! Another great show. I was betting on the D-ring ripping right out! Oscar is a pure gem. Quick question for you, I don't do any form of electric banking but want to help out with Terry. Can I just mail a check with a note to the shop address?
Yes, you can mail a check to the shop. Not a problem. Thanks for your help and God bless.
You guys work good together
Great recovery! Eazy Peazy! Stay safe.
Very good job sir 👌
Great job Ron …
enjoyed the heck out of this one, tks
GREAT Video, just the right job for this unit!!!😅
