AWE RUTS!!! ROTATOR VS DEERE WITH A BAT-WING!!!

Hello Ladies & Gentlemen and as always, thank you for watching. Today, we get to play in the only mud hole in Missouri, at the time.... Unfortunately for the driver of this John Deere, while mowing, he found mud & clay even though we hadn't had rain for a very long time. It may not seem like much, but being buried that deep creates a LOT of resistance that has to be overcome. I had just given an in-house training class so this was a good "hands on" for the guys. And, it was a decent challenge.
I'm "catching up" on some of my videos that I've been holding while working on the ECJV Eaton Cummins project. Thanks for you patience! 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!!!

[@tommybridges690]

Ron, thank you for getting me out of that ditch! You and the crew did a great job.

[@CatsMeowington]

And Tommy, thank you for letting us know that you appreciate Ron's work. We on this channel appreciate every one of his video recoveries and this was the first one who voiced their regards to Ron on his channel. Thank you and well done sir.

[@wtill3282]

The shot of the "Boomland" billboard off the tip of the boom was some serious cinematography for a "tow show".

[@johnmcmickle5685]

I am retired from a state transportation department. Our maintenance crews used to put wire ropes around the rear axle run them under the tractor up to the front and through a steel plate. That allowed quick access when a tractor got stuck.

[@pinecone01]

Oh man, Those tires were so plugged with mud they looked like racing slicks! 😄

[@RICDirector]

I thought he was some damn fool without tread at first...when I realized, my jaw sagged. Haven't seen that since childhood in Montague, Calif.

[@amyh226]

Congratulations on being sober and did not know that. Thank you for sharing your story. I started watching almost a year ago

[@ashtonwilliams9741]

Ron Pratt Friday yessir

[@dancrafton89]

Great job Ron and crew. That old clay will hold water when it is dry everywhere else. That is why it makes a good pond. Love you'll stay safe and God bless.

[@timbowhite6674]

Good Evening My Good Bro Mr.Ron Pratt Sir God Bless You All Of You're Whole Family & All Of You're Whole Staff

[@nopenope5203]

Omg! XD that "Pratt fall" joke got me good! I hope that's a family joke and not just restricted to your videos! It's way too good to not use constantly!

[@chrisanthony579]

Mr. Ron clearly has years of wisdom. Bring help when you don't want to get dirty. Thanks for sharing!

[@trainguy1017]

One of those "Well I WAS having a good day" moments. Ron and crew to the rescue and it's back to being a good day again! Always great to see a new video. Keep up the great work!

[@ronwatson4135]

I spent 30 years drilling Seismic Shot Holes with a Drill Mount Skidder type of vehicles. Want to talk about winching ? Man I have seen it going across country enduring steep grades, marshy areas and creek crossings to name a few. So watching you work the Rotator through many situations brings back some memories. May the Midwest Family and Associates stay safe.

[@GhostDrummer]

I haven’t watched a Ron Pratt recovery in a while. Watching you teach your guys is so refreshing. Reminds me of my dad. He would tell my brothers and I to “figure it out”, which is good to get the brain working, but when we got stuck, he was hands on.

[@Unknown_Ooh]

Same here until we were about to cause more damage trying to figure it out ourselves then we'd get some choice words back and then hands on teaching after. You can't beat hard lessons.

[@JLittleVegemite]

The KZbin algorithm hasn’t brought me around these parts in a while(12 months or more). Was quite happy to see a Ron Pratt video on my feed.

[@sambell385]

Me either they quit coming up in my feed I had to go directly to his channel to watch one👍

[@harryschneider1760]

Much respect to ron......keeps his trucks so clean n organized.....you wouldn't think his trucks work....great content. Thank you

[@burtoncummins8970]

Morning Mr Ron have a blessed weekend and prayers for your family and all the employees

[@craigpridemore5831]

Wow! As many of these vids as I've watched, I STILL see you do things I've never seen before! Anchoring the boom with the white line and turning the end on the stabilization arm, I'd never seen before. THAT's why I still watch!

[@13bgunbunny46]

There have been many occasions where as soon as you get into the clay you're already hosed and there's not much you can do about it. Great job getting it out. God bless and stay safe.

[@crsuperman1]

I really enjoy that video thank you Ron. I'm surprised he found such deep deep mud in a drought with the Midwest and drought crazy but the big big rotator came to save the day nice job guys be sure to think that yankem guys

[@dmorgan28]

Wow that was a muddy sticky mess. Good job Ron👍👍👍❤️

[@user-cu6uo1wu1b]

You supported the boom buy securing the yellow cable to the truck, first time I've seen you do that, nice move, I like it.

[@nightsailor1]

Good Job. I will like watching the crew absorb the lessons and pick up tasks naturally.

[@caninedrill_instructor5861]

Mr. Pratt, I love how you're always teaching your staff.

[@carolfrazer8067]

I've learned so much watching you, Ron. I knew the places to set the pull. I surprised myself. Thanks for the great teaching.

[@catgynt9148]

Terrific example of applied physics. Thanks for sharing this insightful video. Wishing you and your family a blessed weekend filled with gentle weather, nourishing rain and restful evenings. Peace brother

[@vaughnbluejr5960]

I bet he left a lot of mud, from the tractor, on the road as he left the scene. Good job as usual Ron!

[@MikeBrown-ii3pt]

It's good to see Ethan carrying on the "Pratt fall" tradition lol! He also looks like he's either lost some weight or gotten taller, maybe both! Many people don't realize how easy it can be to get heavy equipment stuck. It only takes a little bit of soft ground to load the tires and you're done. Sometimes you can back out of it and it looks like this guy tried to. With the wing mower attached, that obviously didn't work. As always, be safe and God bless you, your crew and your equipment!

[@tinlizzie]

You are blessed. Thank you for sharing this awful mess with us.

[@heatherkohlwey8379]

That was a very sticky situation. I love how you use every moment as a teaching opportunity. It must be nice to be able to let the younger ones get down and dirty while you run the truck. Poor Ethan. I hope he has both boots. Stay safe and God bless.

[@royordway9157]

I was thinking the same thing about Eathan's boots. Reminds me of when I was young going clam digging with my uncle. I'd usually just walk out of the boots.

[@rayshutsa6690]

That was a very sticky situation . The clay looked very deep. As always you do a professional job and get tge tractor out in a timely manor. Always a pleasure watching you Ron. May God bless everyone. ❤🇨🇦

[@1954shadow]

Rut-roh!

[@robertbowling8393]

Greetings from Ohio ..... As always, job well done! The sheer power of the rotator is absolutely amazing. Having worked with and around machinery much of my life, it's amazing that you were able to get him out that 'seemingly effortlessly ' ..... That was a much more strenuous pull than it appeared. Clay creates a tremendous inability to do anything but just sit and wait for something with enough guts to get the job done .... and the rotator was there to serve the purpose. Again, well done at every level of the job .... Stay safe and well, and Blessings to you.

[@frankmoreau8847]

With the right kind of clay you can get stuck on level ground without even sinking in an inch. Ask me how I know about this.

[@chrisdendinger3098]

Robert what part of Ohio I am up north in sandusky

[@Sabrinahuskydog]

Ron's Rotator really is a *BEAST* and has so much insane pulling power. You're right in that it made this job look simple. It probably was simple for this truck. I'm not sure it's actual weight limit but I'm sure it could pull/tug much heavier things than this (even with the resistance factored in from the clay) too.

[@christopherarrington3904]

i am from Ohio as well Wilmington Ohio

[@richfink7898]

East side of Cleveland, here. Watching these reminds me of my dad teaching me how to tow a travel trailer, and how to use machine tools. I'm almost 60, and still learning! Great vids, and passing on of the knowledge and experience.

[@wandalbowen8101]

Hello Ron Thank you for all the informative videos. You are educating me. Have a great day.

[@chrispancoast9767]

Yankum Rope for the win. Endless loop would have worked too I'm sure but that rope added that little bit extra tug power due to its design that the strap(s) would have lacked. Glad Ethan was ok from their Pratt Fall. Mis-judging a gap is easy to do. Good save on his part too from getting muddy as well. May all your calls be injury free.

[@jeffclark2725]

Yea, those Yankum ropes ae amazing Cascade Heavy Rescue usd one one his towtruck, Build up a little spring tension in the Yankum rope and popped a motorhome out of the small hole it was stuck in

[@hithere7382]

I have used yankum ropes to save minivans and cops and things that slide into ditches when it snows enough to accumulate in central AR for years to good effect.

[@adairwilkinson6916]

Ron, another great vid. I always admire your cheerfulness and enthusiasm , whatever the job. It must greatly reassure your clients that Ron from Mid West Truck and his team are here to sort out life’s big and little disasters. !! Best Wishes from the UK and stay safe.

[@bennetts-revenge_2]

Wish I could give it more than 1 thumbs up! Love seeing Ethan working with you Ron.

[@gwbbunch]

I love the "hold the remote control to my 750k wrecker but don't touch the buttons line". told my 13 year old that exact same thing several times on our NRC rotator once or twice. that boy can run the controls on all our trucks and is handy to have as a spare set of control hands when needed.

[@donnamitchell7707]

Excellent job Ron, and crew. Have a great weekend, and God Bless you, and your family. ❤🙂☕🍩⚘.

[@larryrichmond9959]

Another excellent job!! Always working safe and looking out for your crew !! GOD bless !!

[@Farm_fab]

Ron, years ago, I was on assignment to clean truck tires at a C&D (commercial and demolition) landfill, and they would cover the tipping area with clay, and when the waste trucks came off the hill, my associate and I had to clean what they called "peanut butter," off the tires, and this was a state requirement. Some drivers didn't like this, but it all worked out in the end. This clay reminded me of that place. We actually used fire hoses and water from a creek to do this work.

[@danielcollier4401]

No better way to learn then work through a situation. Small steps until they are capable. Keep teaching and encouraging

[@DconBlueZ]

Thanks for the video, always enjoy watching!

[@nero5379_]

I love the big old rotator job god bless 🙏 and keep the good work and videos coming watching from scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@donstone4349]

Always good spending time with friends,thanks.Please keep posting.

[@moersmoers]

Another safe, successful recovery! Ron you make it look easy- I know there is a lot of math- geometry and physics involved in recoveries like this!! Great job!!

[@billydavidson6109]

Another awesome video. God bless y’all.

[@victorjeffers1993]

It's always good to have the proper equipment an tools to do the job and the rotator was the best for this job ! Thanks for the video ! I like the way you use the straps they sure do make the job easier ! Very Professional job an you always keep safety in mind for both you and your people plus the customer ! 👍👍

[@donaldhalls2189]

Looks like a nice quick little job, great the younger generation is interested in what you do, all the best to yous and your loved ones

[@nrobinson8713]

Great job Ron. I hope to see many more. The Tractor pull was pretty cool.

[@JamesTurner-vy2ul]

Good afternoon Ron & crew! Hope all is well with everyone! Stay safe out there everyone.

[@scottcass4243]

Nobody hurt nothing damaged, mud washes off. Another good day.

[@68dart]

Awesome , Thanks Ron & Crew 😀

[@afmoney161]

Definitely good thinking on using the front loader attachment for leverage I'm sure that part is designed to take alot of weight. Always keep these ideas in the tool box as a tow man. Entertaining and educational.

[@donaldschweitzer1573]

😃❤ Ron Pratt Everytime you do these jobs you make look so easy. I'm glad to see Ethan is Falling in to your foot steps. Hahaha 😅 , Ethan I know if I crossed where I would in same position 😅 . Your good man Ethan.

[@ramrod6279]

Yes that was interesting Ron. Great job by all your crew. God bless

[@mrenfilade7178]

What a mess! Good thing Ron and team are on the scene! +1 Like

[@jeffclark2725]

Oh wow, He really got that tractor stuck good in there, Even watching the videos of them pulling the jeeps out of the dry parts of Lake Mead, and Sand Hollow in Utah, Looks like the same type mud ,areal mess but you got them out of this one ,Great video

[@cathymaynard5063]

I've been stuck in the mud the more you try to get out the deeper you go lol, Great video and crew you all stay safe and blessed 🙏❤️

[@gorillaau]

It's okay, you'll only sink down to the diff or axle.

[@nonaloeffler308]

Wow, that was a mess of being stuck. Good job getting it out. look harder than it was. I love Fridays I can see the tater.

[@SumterWrecker]

Mr Ron That looked like some sticky mud. Thanks for sharing and stay safe .

[@ifradtarvez578]

Love the channel!! Keep up the great work!! Love your vids!!

[@psg6314]

Great video and great job with the recovering and God bless from GA and stay safe

[@garymeyer3294]

Man, you surprised me when you said it was dry and you hadn't had rain in a long time. At around the 1:20 mark, on your trip there, I could have sworn there was standing water in the corn rows to your right.

[@RefVengance]

As always you make it look easy. Thanks for the great video. It's been ages since I drove past your exit, or stopped there at the truck stop. I find your videos useful for ideas of getting neighbors out of some strange pickles out in the rural area I live with one of the tractors here at the farm. Safe safe Ron.

[@stevenhorne5089]

Your boy there is really growing into the man that every father wants to see.

[@billamick2338]

I'm surprised that Ethan didn't tell you to cut that part out. He's such a good sport!

[@judyfenske1429]

Nice! Ethan and the police car worked together to block the road on that end.

[@dave.lawrence.3894]

Great video,..... Nothing like playing in the MUD..... You got it done.....

[@bostedtap8399]

Difficult attach, knowledge required 👍✔. Thanks for sharing.

[@BryanTorok]

The many ways to 10: My first thought was to disconnect the mower and pull it up to the road by itself. After pulling the tractor out, they could reconnect. Then you pointed out that the hitch (and likely the drive) were buried. Your way worked just fine. I was worried about the tie rods, but you already had it. You and the rotator made it look easy.

[@brianbradshaw1566]

Nice rig ! I remember when I mowed for the state , Good times 👍🏻 A well done video !

[@russellbluewolf6427]

i had to do this same job (mower stuck in ditch) yesterday..thankfully it was a small riding lawn mower and wasn't too dug in..i literally caught myself thinking " what would ron pratt do" . Looked at situation and thought before executing the plan..got it out with a tow strap and parents 96 S10 blazer. Stay safe and many blessing to you and yours

[@edwardgaskin4245]

Excellent job Ron. God Bless

[@graceharris4178]

That was a fantastic job Ron I love watching your videos

Good Morning Ron. Wonderful save. God Bless. Enjoy your Day.

i bet your customers are so happy when they see tator with it's blinky lights.

[@JimBerthiaume]

Great channel! Thanks for sharing it!

[@davidbarbour9103]

As always great job stay safe God bless

[@pauldillinger2286]

You make that look so easy. Im sure having a bad ass rotator help for sure. Great job man.

[@BamaBryan24]

Ethan thought "I'll just jump over where there isn't any mud...... " Helpless feeling to be in the mud and no step you take will be on solid ground. I wonder if water from irrigation was sitting in the ditch?

[@Happy357mag]

You make it look easy, good job.

[@mfc4591]

Ever get that sinking feeling ! Have a Blessed weekend .

[@joeorlando9477]

Nice video😍!

[@maxium4x4]

I have 4-Wheel drive, It will be fine........Ooooops 😁Operator needs to know he is already done and not bury it to the frame. Nice Job Ron, you brought it out with ease, Safely.

[@deathk26]

I guess those ditches can stay moist for a long time. Nice work as always Ron!

[@keithbrueton]

I've just had my Friday feeling thanks Ron

[@LGWinberg]

That was a really tricky tow. Good done!

[@Samanthareneeheart10]

A quick job & close to the shop. You got lucky here as it was so close lol. Leave it to the rotator to save the day AGAIN! LOL. Seriously though GREAT JOB by EVERYONE! Be safe out there, be careful and God bless you and protect you all.

[@mslorry3420]

I was hoping to see the tractor clear the mud from the tire tread. It's the best part of being stuck in the mud....Ooh well on to the next!

[@billydarton2113]

Great video glad yall didn't pull oh axle. Keep the videos coming love them and God Bless

[@johnthreefifteen]

Ethan did a good job of staying out of the way of the dangerous work.

[@getzybreuer3691]

Thank you so much for the video really cool different video please start posting please do times a week a video God bless

[@llyodreeves4657]

Keep up the good Ron bless love watching you KZbin

[@ronaldallen8765]

Excellent Job!

[@davidmeek3104]

What a muddy mess Ron both sides will have to be cleaned up you guys have some and of course the big tractor has some God bless you guys

[@AWRay1300]

Talking about cleanup on both ends... yankum rope, the guys, tractor and batwing mower... stay safe and vigilant, 'for the devil seeks whom he may devour'. Everyone has issues that tests them, and how we answer those issues show the true character of the individual.

[@edwinschlee8374]

That clay just sucked him right in! Good job Ron and crew getting him out!

[@Simon-ho6ly]

Interesting hitch point, i would have considered the weight box on the front possibly too, either to pull or a second hook point and spread the load, the front weight bracket is pretty strong but i wouldnt want to put much side pull on it

[@parkermckowen3781]

We have the same tractor. The bar the weights hang on is bolted to the frame with like 7/8 or 1 inch bolts. We’ve had our stuck worse then this and pulled it out with two skidders and both were hooked on the bar that holds the weights
