Another awesome video ..... You get called in more ag-related jobs than one might expect .... But you always get the job done just as successfully as the various conventional motor vehicle recoveries. Great job as always! Regarding 'cross-chaining', having hauled heavy/high/wide loads, I always cross-chained, the way I was taught. Interesting tho that the reports you read recommends straight-chaining .... I still use the cross tie method, even on smaller personal jobs .....,I always 'assumed' it was best, as its the way I distraught early-on. Thank you for sharing your knowledge!!! Otherwise I would've never known! Again, thank you for another great video. Stay safe and well, and do be Blessed in all that you do.

Any time I see a green tractor, I think of Millennial Farmer. With that road being so narrow it looks like they tried to move off the road enough to allow someone to pass by and went off too far which then caused it to roll over. I'm glad no one was hurt.

When I started working for a company as a helper and we were hauling large reels of cable. It was loaded as a dead man load. The drive said not to worry because we had a crane between us and the cable. I got a small truck so I was hauling equipment all over. All I had was 3/8 in and 1/2 in rope to tie it down. The people at the job site said I web it in. I didn't want for it to move..

The notion for crossing trailer chains is to furnish a "cradle" for the tongue to fall into so it can't drag on the ground, and worse, wedge into a crack or gap in the roadway ( think pole vaulting!) which could cause a lot more damage.

It's interesting that you brought up the straight tiedowns versus them being crossed. I always wondered about that when I towed my drag car in a trailer over 1/4 million miles. I used straight on tiedowns in the front connected to floor D rings and welded-on loops on the frame. In the back I used crossed J hooks around the rear to floor D rings. I would winch it snug then ratchet the front 2 tiedowns and relax the winch a bit. I hope that was ok the way I did it or is there a better way? You are a true professional!

I would like to know something about your wish to have been involved in the up righting part of that recovery. Could Unit 15 have done that? I think you would have needed the Western Star or the Rotater. I do not think the smaller Peterbilt could do it. I do not think that truck is heavy enough. I think that tractor out weights that Tow Truck by more then it could safely overcome with out an anchor point. You are the professional, not me. I have had experience with car trailers and riding lawn equipment only. Please educate us/ me. Thank you Ron.
@RonPratt
@RonPratt 4 жыл бұрын
Unit 15 would not have been my choice for rolling this tractor had I been called to do so. Given the location and the conditions I believe the 4024, unit #10 would have been capable, but I would have used the Western Star or the Rotator if given the option. I don't always have the options. Sometimes the customer requests a specific piece of equipment, primarily due to the increased cost of the larger equipment, even though the larger equipment could handle the job safer and quicker. Anyway.....Thanks for watching and God bless.

@RonPratt
@RonPratt 4 жыл бұрын
Synthetic rope has both advantages and disadvantages. One of the most important things to consider is "What will be the rope's primary purpose?". I'm sure you are aware of a lot of the advantages of synthetic. It is lighter, stronger for its size, wraps better on the drum, floats, etc, etc. The biggest disadvantages are that it does not hold up to abrasion of any kind, is easily damaged, and is much more expensive the wire rope. On that note, if it is damaged, once one learns how to repair synthetic rope, it can be repaired easily where as wire rope is not easily repaired. I have considered switching one of our units over to synthetic to give it a try, but I haven't yet. There are two different types of people when it comes to synthetic, one loves it and won't use anything else, and the second can't stand it and won't use it. I don't have the perfect answer. I wish I did. Thanks for watching and God bless.

One summer I was hauling from our materials handling devision, on a 1 mile long island in the river, which had a one barge dock. A load of mixed 70-80' thin (very floppy and prone to twist and skew) Spanish I-beam came in. Dispatch sent me to move the steel on a 45' flat deck to the other end of the island. They wanted me to throw a couple a of straps and a couple of chains and just go. Problem one was the road was not private. Problem two, MOT flying transport inspectors knew about all the "er", fly by nights that worked out of this little island and that never had to go past an inspection scale. Problem three there was a cafe at one end of that straight road where the MOT liked to have 'coffee' for hours and just watch that road. I knew they were there so no way I was going to risk the tickets/loss of license. I put on a chain for every 10' of load plus 4 belly wraps to stabilize the loose pile of randoms plus all the flags, and oversize banners required by regs. It took about two hours. This was right outside dispatch's window. After about an hour, a dispatcher came out with a purple face and a blue mouth……but I said, its the law and the inspectors are just down the road. He got even more purple, but he clammed up. The lesson was: Never be afraid or intimidated to work safely or be bullied in to cutting corners. PS. We never had those ratchet chain binders in my day. They had just come out and were deemed too expensive. I had to do all my chains with the old compound folding binders and a 4 foot cheater with a 6 foot extender on that for the 5/8th chain. It looks so easy now :)

That was one heavy piece of machine. Glad the man wasn't hurt too bad. Just hope they can fix that JD and make it like new again. Love watching you come to the rescue. Like Superman. Just without the cape.

Low profile loads that want to slide around?? I sometimes ""X"" the chains but High profile loads like you hauling?? No way( learnt the hard way) 4 way an straight corner to corner an always downwords pull for a stable load... Hauling a bulldozer track?? X works the best with a high hook up but a 6 point ..high center downwords pull for rocking ... I would never recommend hauling a tall center of balance in a 4 point X with out a center 6 point ... Here in Michigan?? Any point that moves or is moveable joint must be chained AN a binder!! Even got busted once for the 3 point arms not secure. DOT ""educated"" me through my pocket book 🤪 my motto the more chains the better 😉 but great job skidding her on the flat deck 👍 edited fur spell boo boo's

Could have put more angle on the two rear chains to prevent any sliding to the side of deck

About the lack of keys, a lot of the time, but not all the time, Farm Equipment and Heavy Machinery will have 1 common key for each manufacturer, though many of the newer machines will also have a computer start code. This is perhaps not the best plan for security (and it is a problem), but it is convenient for farmers and construction guys not haul 20 or so keys and spend 2 minutes trying to figure out which key goes with which tractor/combine/backhoe/excavator/skidsteer/bulldozer/etc. Often with a bit of looking you can find sets of keys for the 10 or so most common equipment manufacturers from a variety of online retailers (or just buy them 1 key at a time from the dealerships). It might be worth checking into this and having a set or 2 for the company if you need to move stuff like this regularly. It might also be why no keys were left, the farmer might not have left any knowing the dealership would have a set of these keys.

Where there is a will there is a way? More like, when there is a Ron there is a way, I've never seen anyone as calm, cool, and collected as you, and honestly I feel like if given the time, there isn't much you wouldn't be able to do if you set your mind to it. A true, real inspiration.

That last part about different ways to get to ten is one of the main reasons why I watch the channel!!! I see a lot of things done differently and that’s the point. Plus when ever I’ve commented asking about a method it’s just explained
