I am a retired old fart that watches a lot of youtube videos and stumbled onto your channel. I was really impressed with your professionalism and have watched all your videos. My wife got interested as well. I hadn't realized how much she had learned until we watched a left coast towing company pull a truck out of the sand. She was opining that they had the wrong angle and should have blocked the wheels when trying to set the trailer back on the road. "Boy, that sure isn't the way Ron would have done it!" . Thanks Ron and we really enjoy your rescues. God Bless.
Love your patience and teaching methods
I worked for a farmer who had a single axle Chevy dump truck that had been on its side at least once a harvest season. He told me I was the only person who ever drove that truck that hadn't laid it down. One day cutting silage we were in a field that was pretty steep and he said on the radio that today might be the day. He was using a dump wagon and he was above me with my left side to the wagon. Of course that meant that when he dumped into the truck most of the weight would be on the downhill side and it would want to tip over. I told him as soon as the load left the dump wagon to get it out of the way because I'd be turning the truck loose on a hard right turn under all the power the truck had. Turned out we had an audience of the rest of the crew who had made bets on how many times the truck would roll over. They all lost because not one of the four thought it was possible to not roll the truck.
Take care, God bless.
ROFL, Score one for PHYSICS!
Well it makes sense why they've all rolled it then.
Doug it doesn't take much for most to have COMMON SENCE...GREAT JOB OF KEEPING IT UP... DID YOU GET TO BET?
ROTFLMBBO 😁🤸♀️😁🤸♀️😁
Found your channel a couple of weeks ago, great job and professionalism and like all the references to the Good man upstairs.
Your videos are the best I have seen in years . You always have something new and exciting Thank you so much
I am amazed at how much is involved in some of your recoveries. I never realized how involved it was.
Wowers that's crazy. Can't wait to see ur next videos. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friend tow on God bless
Ron.. I love the way you managed to get that dump truck upright and down the hill with all the obstacles in the way, including a building.. an excellent practical lesson in physics and geometry.. I hope kids in school who don't see why these are useful were paying attention.. Awsome job as usual.. Thank you for sharing it..
Had so much fun watching without commercials!. And one more thing, LOVE THAT TURBO!!!
Thanks for watching and God bless.
Ron, there's an old saying that your
Recoveries reminds me of:SLOW IS
FAST, FAST IS SLOW. I'VE watched a multitude of your videos and it is so
Applicable to your methods of work
No matter the size or location of the
Job..
Well executed, small amount of planning, a lot of rigging, and little moves at a time. Really enjoy watching.
Your measure of safety and knowledge of pulling angles is something to behold. That's not something you can learn overnight. Your employees should be proud to have such a mentor. God bless.
I never realized how challenging a recovery can be until I watched this video. I was super impressed with the way you thought out what you needed to do in advance. You definitely have a talent and a lot of patience. Thank you for sharing this and I know that our God will continue to bless you
Yet another great recovery you always make it look so easy
Thank you. Some jobs come out better than others. This one was fun. Thanks for watching and God bless.
Mister Ron I'm a new subscriber to your Channel and I want to take the time out to let you know I enjoy every single one of your videos and I always give a thumbs up even on the old videos you are very experienced and what you do for a living and I also like how you think about safety first that is the number one key to any job that you do in life being safe well anyway thank you for all your great videos I look forward to every single one of them
Welcome to the community. I hope you continue to enjoy and learn from the channel. Glad to have you. Thanks for watching and God bless.
I like your patience and understanding toward your employees. Very good boss to them I proud of your business attitude. I wish I had a boss like you. God Bless and be safe at there.
Mr. Pratt and his miraculous "little" 73,000 lbs. rotator. I like this video. Thank you for posting it. Cheers
Genius approach to the job at hand. Mike is a great worker. You really know your stuff Ron
Ron you are so precise of what to do and you are teaching that young man man how to do it correctly and not slacking
Thank you for watching and God Bless!
39:55 "Don't forget to free-spool." LOL :-D
Job well done. Love it when everything falls into place in the end.
This job went well, at least I thought it did. Thanks for watching and God bless.
Hey Ron Pratt this is blake I a fan of your channel on CZcams so you need my email address you ask me for it
I love going back to old videos and seeing how things where done vs now a days
Ron, another professional job well done! Thought about you earlier when I saw a military 8-wheel, 5-ton, recovery vehicle that flipped in a ditch. No injuries, Thank God! Took 2 large wreckers to right it and get the road clear. I wanted to identify the trucks but couldn't impede traffic to see. I wondered how Ron and Midwest would have handled it. I see things in a whole new way. Some towing is predatory and malicious but you are the good side who is truly a good person and family. I got one of y'all's hats a while back and thanks to Lauren for the personal note. God Bless you and the entire Pratt family for being such good people and sharing it in these days when there is way too much negativity. Keep postin' and I'll keep watching and liking!! God Bless!!!
Ron, To repeat your expression, "beautiful, beautiful, beautiful". Can tell you love it when 'a plan comes together'. Mike also doing a fine job following directions. Best! -Ed
May God bless and protect you also! I am impressed about how you do these recoveries without doing any more damage.
Another great job done by you two.always a professional job.
Hello Sir I Love the content great work I live in Macon Missouri and my dad is a full time truck driver. I love waking up in the mornings and watching your content. Keep up the great work.
Very interesting and informative. My favorite recovery channel by far!
This guys production quality is up there with Reponut's before he went off the rails (not a dig at Matt it's understandable considering what he went through).
Another great example of recovery by Ron & Mike great job
The knowledge you have in these situations is just astounding! Great work!
Thank you very much. God bless.
Ron, perfect as always, a pleasure to watch you work
I just starter watching your video's recently. I have been impressed with all the versatility you have with the equipment and your knowledge of how to put it to good use. I liked the geometry comment. I always enjoyed math and geometry. This is part of the reason I ended with a Mechanical Engineering degree.
A real interesting video to watch. Always cool to see how you set it up and do it without causing further damage.
Ron, i have been in the towing bizz for over 30 years, your professionalism is outstanding and you do a great job. I was always told by my teachers ( a few old timers that been in towing and recovery most of their lives) i should always grab the tow points on the frame not the axles. It"s a matter of the frame is stronger than the axles and have several points witch is designed to take the stress of the winching. as always may god bless you and yours and stay safe out there, to many drivers loose their lives to passing motorist not giving us respect and moving over and slowing down.
I see you guys are having a mud-fest out there as well. We've been working on our new shop, putting siding on, and were ankle deep in mud the entire time. Freeze, thaw, freeze, thaw! 50° today, snow storm tomorrow, and mid 60's forecast for next week!
Great video. Always enjoy seeing how you get equipment rubber-side-down again. Thanks as always for taking us along on your adventures! May God bless you all, and keep you all safe. :)
What a great job in that slick mud and always room to learn ...... Love the looks and operation of the trucks ...
Thank you letting us watch Ron god be with you and yours.
Another enjoyable video of "A Man and His Truck."
Nice to watch you work the angles. A competent beast with a competent master.
Clever using the excavator as a pull point. Nicely done Ron.
Great video. Always enjoy watching a master at work. Greetings from Melbourne, Australia.
Always interesting to watch the plan work out. Mike seems like such a easy going guy to work with and it helps to have a great boss.
As always a plesure to watch and pick up some tips thank you Ron Pratt for sharing.
Beautiful job Ron love to watch someone that knows how to used chains snatch block . great job RON AND MIKE !!
I don't know if it's weird or not but I just love the sound of the big hooks clipping into the D rings and the weight of all that stuff sounds cool when it clanks
Nice video Ron. Nice to see more of Mike helping out on the big rig
Mike is coming along very well. He seems to have a "gift" for recovery. Much like anything else, some people have it and some don't. Thanks for watching and God bless.
Your comments are funny, I surprisingly paid attention in school too. Your number 1 in my book.
Another great job Ron & with Mike.Enjoyed your video
As usual, Ron, you make it look easy...
Amazing recovery Ron, you make it look so easy. I really enjoy your vids totally new respect for tow operators.
Great video. Love the fast-motion recap at the end.
As always a professional job.
MAY GOD be with you,protecting you and your men from harm
Great video, loved the we'll just flip it... 😂
Wow, time flies when you're enthralled watching, didn't notice how long the video was until the end.
Once, twice, maybe four times... I love Ron's dry wit.
Great recovery Ron. You almost got me sitting here as a back seat quarterback yelling get them rim slings.
Nice job Ron enjoy watching you guys
Thank you very much. God bless.
Your geometristic knowledge is phenomenal
Great videos Ron greetings from Ireland retired long haul trucker,
Wow so good to see how you set all that up, real impressive
Great video as usual.. I guess it's a lot of improvisation that comes with this line of work if I say that correctly.. In some weird way it reminds me of my tree cutting days and using winches and other heavy gear to bring huge trees down safely.. Anyway.. Thanks for sharing greets from the Netherlands..
Family member who was up to 31 employees and 9 trucks at one point says he will only hire farm/country boys, the "city kids" could not deal with even the slightest weirdness on a tow. The country kids would figure out a way, a chain, a 4x4, pulley, whatever to make it happen and not just get on the phone and yell for the boss to come out and help! So, Just Human, running around on hard surfaces with a rollback or a wheel lift where everything is peaches and cream is fine (city stuff), but _every_ recovery job involves thinking on your feet, understanding angles and loads etc, Ron is a consummate Professional, others might get it done faster, but nobody can question his safety measures!
Gday mate from the UK. God bless all of you.
Another piece of great work, Mike looks to be coming along just fine. Keep safe my friend and god bless
My thoughts exactly on both accounts , Love watching Ron's video's. 😉
Yes, Mike is doing quite well. He will make a great operator some day. Thanks my friend and God bless.
Great video Ron thanks for sharing stay safe keep up the great work
As ever Ron.....calm and safe.....great video, keep up the good work....god bless....👍🇮🇲❤️
Very nice. You da men, Ron & Mike. Hopefully I will never need your services. Safe travels.
Nicely done, Ron. Thanks for sharing. Stay safe. #SlowDownMoveOver
Thank you Ron, you and your crew did an Awsome Job 🖒🙏
Thats a weird way to dump gravel out of your dump bed.
TheDisorderly1 Lol! 😂
But it is a super fast way and sometimes time is of the essence.
You've never seen those side dumps before? :)
Yeah, I was thinking the same thing but kinda rough on the truck.
That wasnt what the his boss had in mind when he asked him to "Roll out".
Man has to do what he has to do to get the job done well done Ron and Mike. Stay safe and GOD BLESS.
Awesome job Guys..love your video's..God Bless You All....by the way my grandson loved the video's I showed him..
Another great video Ron thanks for making it. Have fun and stay safe.
Thanks for watching and God bless.
I really enjoy your videos mate, so keep them coming! Cheers.
Another well done job by "Ron & His Fantastic Crew"
I like how professional you are.
Mighty fine little upright and recover job. I just love your attitude and manors. I enjoy your videos but it is a bit of a bitter sweet as I was forced to give up recovery as a job and motorsports recovery as a hobby due to bad health. Well done from a ex recovery operator. Best wishes from Inverness Scotland. Stay safe.
I TOTALLY ENJOYED WATCHING THE VIDEO RON 😊
You are one Organized Guy. Your wife either Loves it or Hates it. 😬 My guess is she Loves it. 👍 Keep up the Strong Effort. Thanks!
Hi Ron good job mate take care and be safe
Thanks for watching and God bless.
You & your guys
Never cease to amaz me.👍🙏🍀
Rigging master, Ron ? Darn expensive yard clean up team, right there !
The expertise and professional knowledge never fail to amaze me...
Thank you very much. God bless.
I love your videos the are so good god bless you always be safe
Ouch. That was an expensive slide. Great work and video, as always.
Thankfully the truck doesn't look like it came out too roughed up, should be able to get a salvage hood on an old truck like this for a few hundred bucks could probably sweet talk the scrap yard into throwing in a mirror assembly at the same time.
Keep up the good work Ron
Always enjoy your titles!
Thank you for a great video Ron . Best wishes & Stay safe ....
Good Job Ron!
Your video brightings my day
Super plan using the excavator. Mike has a lot of info to learn about recovery- I wish him success!
Mike is learning quickly. I believe he will do well. Thanks for watching and God bless.
Sir Ron: I'am a hooligan of you and your work. Francisco Eguía. Pamplona, Navarra España. I like to improve my english and your videos helping in thas hobby.
I'm surprised the owner didn't try and use excavator instead of calling you. Good job on doing such a fine job!
I think he did try; judging by the tracks in the mud, broken piece of rope covered with mud nearby.
he needed it towed to his farm I doubt the excavator could do that as well, best to leave it to the professionals
does the equipment come standard with the truck or?
I was thinking the same thing, but then looking at it, I think the excavator was a "mini" and too small, but yeah i'd of tried it. If the farmer has towing insurance, then his insurance will cover all of Ron's work, so that way he does not take a change on busting it up any more than it is. I wonder why he towed it to his farm rather than to the GMC dealer? Since it had to be towed that means it needs work before it will run again. I'm not sure what happens when you put a truck on it's side, but I guess at least it needs an oil change and perhaps the fuel injectors cleaned. I'd of tried starting it lol... We need to bug Ron for more information, like what was the guy going to do with the dump truck after he got it to his barn, and does he have a friend that is a mechanic? I think if that would have been a Ford or International dump truck it would not have rolled over (joking. You brought up and interesting topic same thing was on my mind at the start of the video.
Pete_ Hine_Of_PA he’s a farmer, he’ll fix it himself. Change oil, check fluids, pull plugs/injectors, wing engine over, put them back, off you go. It’s really not a big deal.
Good job,Mr.Ron
Excellent job. Much much better then I would have tried to do. You know your tools.
Awesome video! Keep up the good work.
Ron, your videos are excellent. Being a techno nerd I would love it if you had a video walk around of your amazing rig. For instance, what does the panel do that is in the cab?
You have obviously done your PR work well as you get calls from the Sheriff and the state troopers. If definitely helps that you are always polite with them and keep damage down. Keep up the good work!
I TOTALLY AGREE, JOHN COOPER!!! I too have NOTICED THAT, RON has a VERY GOOD RAPPORT with LAW ENFORCEMENT, OTHER OFFICIALS and the GENERAL PUBLIC!!!
I AM SURE that IT HAS PLAYED a HUGE PART in the SUCCESS of HIS BUSINESS(and HIS PERSONAL LIFE, or so IT APPEARS)!!!
I'M VERY IMPRESSED!!! AS ALWAYS STAY SAFE, GOD BLESS and GOOD WISHES... LOVE IT❤❤❤
thank you for sharing Ron GOD bless everyone
i just love all the odd jobs u and ur crew get into and i know i should comment more on ur vids
We just never know what you're going to get up to next Ron, but we can be assured, you always keep us interested, I thoroughly enjoyed this video, thanks Ron
Thank you sir. I do get into some interesting situations, but that is part of what I enjoy about this job. Fraternal greetings, Ron.
Ron, if you don't mind, a wee update on my wee friend, it's so sad, he lost his fight, and passed away this morning, my wee pal, I'll miss him
I'm very sorry my friend. Prayers for you.
Another great recovery! I also paid attention in Geometry Class, but there was no practical application for it as good as this - fulcrum points, leverage, center of mass, coefficient of friction - you've got to be aware of all those aspects.
Keep up the good work ron
I like your work
GREAT JOB RON
That was a great. Job you and mike did I love watching your video
