Plowed!!! Tator VS Loaded Plow Truck

[@fishfry4491]

It's very refreshing to watch a cool YT video and not have a bunch of cursing but rather a cool personality from a Believer. Much appreciated sir.

[@barbaramathis5844]

Amen.

[@bretts1]

Nice Job Ron. Will never forget a huge V plow on really large Road grader on 2 lane road hill down to path with snow higher than state trucks, our wrecker and the V-Plow on each side. Felt like we were in a tunnel. Used 3 snatch blocks, tied off to three salt trucks in front of us chained together and our wheel chocks just buried into asphalt. The state had a huge end-loader even pushing the grader. Those cables were talking. Took cover inside wrecker heads down behind big bulk head cab guard. First time in 50 years the state gave up, left the grader and closed the road, till blizzard was over. Those old timers did so reluctantly. It would of been crazy for anyone to be out driving, but it took my dad finally telling them he admitted defeat to get them to give up. Back in those days dad never charged the state or police for calls. He always told me it pay off later and it did many times. Laws where changing about towing company rotation back in the 80’s, guys bought wreckers thinking it was gravy. Did not last long. At 2 in the morning when they got called, they realized fast it was a 24/7 365 job to be successful and got out of towing business fast.

[@carolfrazer8067]

Ron, you have no idea how much I've learned from you in the year I've been watching your videos. Thank you.

[@kevinharris967]

Ron i just found your channel a couple weeks ago and i love watching it i am a Paramedic for 27 years now and i had my own shop and wrecker service for a while but God had other plans i love they way you put God first keep up good work watch your 6 God Bless

[@markmayfield2228]

I'm happy to report that I've learned a bit from watching you. Yesterday, I had to take a tractor with a pro-tote attached to pick up another of our tractors with a blown block in Temple, Texas. I got it chained up and lifted with no problems. Unfortunately, the tractor I was using was my former truck. She's a bit aged. I got about 25 miles and stopped to check my securement, and when I pulled back onto the highway, I disintegrated my fan belt and also blew my turbo. So, 9 hours later my tow truck was towed back to San Antonio by a tow truck. I got back to the yard at 12:45 this morning. They got right on it this morning and she's all better now. Taking the broken truck to Houston day after tomorrow to get a new engine. Fun times. I told the driver of the tow truck that I was happy to see him do his Ron Pratt, he had a chuckle at that.

[@andrewkoetz3933]

Not all super heroes wear capes Ron; you are one of those heroes as well as the rest of your crew at the shop.

[@alexushighfield9109]

How can anyone give thumbs down? They have a choice to watch or go on to something else...Thanks Ron we all will hang out with you...God Bless and be safe...

[@1976jtd]

Some people just have to hate no matter what

[@nobodysbusiness]

sorry couldn't help but give this a thumbs down just being a wise ass!! Pratt Rules 👍

[@danachappell3861]

I must say, you picked the absolutely perfect music for your channel. I smiled, giggled, and said to myself that you found the perfect music to end your video. Glad that nobody was hurt, and it looks funny when plow trucks get stuck. I know all about it. One year we had 4 broke down at the end of my road, because they all broke something trying to get rid of a 20 ft snowdrift from the 5 day blizzard we were in. It was 20 ft high in one spot, and about 75 ft long with an average height of 6 ft along the length, other than the pinnacle at one end. We ended up with over 5 ft of snow over those 5 days. God bless, and keep on keeping it real.

[@tylerhensley2312]

Hey Ron Your channel is the only towing channel I can stand to watch because you are professional and know exactly what your getting into, I had to turn off the latest Pepe's towing video because I thought someone was going to get killed.

[@leyroy1980]

I can't stop watching your videos. I literally been watching the whole weekend. Great job and God Bless You and your family..

[@rayjones3212]

It still astonishes me of the pulling (and overall) power that the Rotator has. And I learned a new word today - "outro" --- Keep 'em coming, Ron. Not only do you show us the capabilities of your talents but we also get some new words to ponder (using) in our day-to-day lives. Thanks for sharing and we'll see you down the road.

[@Newberntrains]

Even the heros need help at times those plow truck drivers are a welcome sight when roads start getting bad

[@nekaeljones3086]

Good job sir. One thing I have learned, always check behind the drivers. I'd physically check myself to make sure their brakes were set. You never know until you know. Love you brother!!

[@billwarbrick9116]

Hello from a fellow tow truck driver

[@gordonrichardson2972]

Thanks for the extra captions, and hints on your thought processes during the recovery!

[@SteelyPaw]

First, thanks to the guy driving the "snow plow" truck for making it a bit safer for our friend Ron!!!!! Ron, I don't understand why you didn't have him turn his front wheels your way, then simply pull him out by is front end even if the rear wheels were in what looked to me like a small ditch? ........ Anyway another successful job, no one got hurt. God Bless you and your loved ones... I watched this on 3/130229 (I'm caught up LoL) Thumbs up on your video.

[@ronbriggs6905]

I love watching and learning. Please stay safe out there.

[@SmittySmithsonite]

Tator power! That was impressive. That truck had to weight a minimum of 30-large with the 3/4 load on there, plus a mid plow dragging on the ground, and rear tandems digging in 6" ! Oh I can't wait for spring and warm weather! Thanks for sharing, Ron. God bless.

[@tombarker3608]

Always great to get a notification from Mr Pratt on a new video. I was all ready for a three point lift and spinning the truck around in mid air. This was a simple one no powerlines ha ha. Thank you Mr Pratt.

[@gsettlemyre]

Quick and simple pull. I noticed he got the right set of duals a little deep into the shoulder, also looks like he knew when to quit and call for help, creating less of a problem for himself and you in the end..nice job as always.👍👍

[@aceelliottcentralcoastchic6644]

Great work Mr. Ron.. there's nothing that can't stop you and your equipment.. hope you have a wonderful and blessed week and weekend.. please stay safe and warm.. sending lots of love and hugs and prayers... Thank you for doing what you do...

[@robertjohnston4149]

Hi Ron having a snowstorm then the sun come and all that water freezes sooner or later someone going to end up in the ditch or a big accident with cars. We used pine branches to get traction. Ever thought of putting off road lights on the front for those back road recovery.

[@AndrewHowe_Is_Really_Neat]

Ron, I need more videos! Been watching for a while now, but started rewatching old ones now and need more!

[@brendabennett8443]

That video was awesome! I love watching Ron's videos even if I should be sleeping. Keep'em coming Ron!!!

[@michaelharmon551]

That was a good recovery. Not like those that slid way down a steep enbankment. That was scary when your rig started sliding backwards. Be safe out there and God bless.

[@CrossAnchors]

Once again Ron, Thank you for sharing, I wont say a word about being jealous of all that snow you had, but I've not made one Snowman this Winter, but we've just had a bad storm here, water water everywhere, so much so, our local river just burst it's banks, again, only this time, it flooded out the small fairground that comes round every year, the good thing though, no loss of life reported, but as always, God Bless & Stay Safe

[@leeross9379]

I so admire the work you and your truck do. You've got a Minister "Hooked"

[@wilecoyote2650]

Ron, you make it look to easy, god bless you and keep you and all safe

[@AJtheRatty]

A quick tator! Thanks for sharing Ron, and cool to see short jobs interspersed with longer ones.

[@ThatGeezer]

Looked a simple enough job there Ron. But then they often do when you've got the right tools, and know what you are doing. Keep safe.

[@scottm.franklinnc7942]

Thank you for bringing us along with you. I know you put in long hrs both on the job and preparing these videos ... Stay safe, Lord watch over and protect you, your family and crew...God Bless

[@flyerbob124]

Good morning Ron. What a great way to start the day.

[@artfordlowery490]

RON AWESOME JOB THANKS FOR SHARING YOUR THOUGHTS AND EXPERIENCES, AND FOR YOUR VEDIOES.

[@umpireoba]

Hello Ron! Good evening and god bless

[@kamoonrathewolfgod9189]

I always love your videos and how you rescue each situation. Very entertaining and informative for me.

[@joellines3420]

Hey Ron I love your channel first of all one of the best tow trucks have ever seen I've been wanting to tell you that your fleet of trucks and how you run those trucks are absolutely amazing ...

[@dorothyford6616]

Joel L. I second that. Clean dirty, or caked with ice, a well maintained engine sounds great!!!

[@kens.3729]

MODOT does a solid job but the Ice we had back two (2) weekends back in January in Missouri caused some Major travel issues. Solid Performance by you, Ron.

[@JamesJohnson-ro2jq]

I am glad to see the end of this winter weather, just as long my AC works well in the summer.

[@philsmidwestclassiccars150]

Great recovery Ron, with those big mammoth trucks, it just don't take much to get them stuck once the leave the paved road. Really great winch out considering the weight, & "0" collateral damage.

[@flybyairplane3528]

Hello RON, nice old snow plow,,but here it is 4;23amEDT, watching your vids , Maplewood Nj God Bless you.

[@kennsaunders1690]

Thanks for posting the theme song Ron on the opening of the video. I always wanted to know the name of that song,I love it. Great Anthem. God Bless Ron.

[@andrewcrow5787]

Looks like a really easy job but just a heavy pull. Good job as usual Ron

[@pix4434]

Good morning Ron! Another great video. Stay safe during these storms that are moving through.

[@marionhowcomeevery902]

I think Ron just loves to drive backwards. And he is so good at it

[@dewainwoodard4840]

Great job Ron thanks for sharing have a great day and God bless

[@richardm1631]

Hi Ron great video another safe job nobody got hunt nothing is broken

[@jerrypin6740]

Ron thank you for sharing with us GOD bless everyone

[@richfreedom6577]

Yep you're wire was that happy at all it definitely had a load on it thanks for videos thanks for the hard work keep the good work up God bless amen

[@andrewpowellnz]

Well that was a nice pull for the Rotator. Keep up the good work Ron & Stay safe.

[@claudest-onge3358]

Good job Ron ,,as always

[@dannyheingartner9220]

Awesome job Ron!

[@jenniferwhitewolf3784]

The agency was so embarrassed about their driver sliding off, they wanted the ID on the truck blurred out. Thats funny!

[@timothybarney7257]

I'm sure Ron did that without being asked to.

[@carolfrazer8067]

It's blurred because of rules and regulations. Not because of a slide off.

[@888johnmac]

naah, ron blurred out the details so the plow driver wouldn't get idiots calling him for a chat

[@garykocker5785]

Something that a lot of you do not understand is look where the salt is coming out of behind the the truck! As a plow driver we do not get the salt in front of us you should get the feeling with all the weight pushing you around. Just call it Pucker factor!

[@kubotaman3440]

@m9 ovich same with the town I live in it looks really weird to see a plow truck coming back ing down the road

[@seenoevilhearnoevil9067]

Hello Ron glad to see you y'all must have been busy. As always God bless y'all be careful.

[@paulra2002]

God bless you and your family, Ron . Love the videos..

[@RonPratt]

[@plazatowing]

Nice job Ron. Stay safe in that white stuff!

[@hd1987hd]

Y'all Cali boys probably don't get much of that white bull**** that us northern states get.

[@billmckelvey602]

Another fine job Ron

[@parapluie6228]

Ron: Another excellent video. Always enjoy watching.

[@paulapower3253]

Greetings from Germany!

[@italyworrier]

That was an easy one for you Ron . boy it looked extra cold !! God bless

[@torbenbergan4202]

Greit videos Ron! I love them, great quality and very informative of what and why you’re doing thing, keep up the good work! Been watching you for over 2 years now

[@retireddriver16]

Great job Ron P. As always slow down and move over as we need Ron and his team for more videos stay safe

[@cclngthr]

A simple winch out. Easy and quick with the right equipment.

[@EpicATrain]

Not gonna lie... those are some strong chains!

[@jamescrutchfield9832]

Way to go Ron & good job Mater.

[@barrysimmons5489]

Great work! Isn't it always nice to get a little gravy... ☺🇺🇸

[@benjamin-rn5zn]

Derek Smith .

[@701cabman]

Great video Ron! I'm sure you appreciate some of the "easier" jobs like this one.

[@sylviass8295]

Thanks for the video Ron. I really enjoy your channel.

[@larryfisher5796]

Enjoy your videos keep it up and most of all Be safe .God Bless you An all your guys . old gear jammer 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@lee3521]

Love the videos! BUT next time, you might want to consider using the remote and getting on the other side of the plow. You had me on the edge of my seat! If that cable would have snapped, the backlash could have proved to be fatal! Thanks for all of your awesome videos!

[@---l---]

Great video, appreciate the time and energy.

[@nbrowser]

I should be sleeping but to witness the 1150R gently yank out a loaded plow truck..oh who am I kidding...the 1150R is just using brute force and ignorance to yank that truck out of it's bad spot. Thanks Ron for the content!

[@terrytrostel8016]

Thanks for the new video

[@johnmcmickle5685]

That was an interesting situation in which the guy found himself. Be careful where you try to turn around.

[@susanowens6393]

Another great job done

[@RonPratt]

Thank you very much. Thank you for watching and God bless

[@pauljohnson9759]

Thanks for the video.

[@KW-qt6df]

You have one nice truck!!!

[@Scott924m]

Ron could you do a video showing a close up of the raptor control screen and it's function and it makes things work that would be very interesting to me .Thanks

[@Quadrille763]

Good job as always

[@plowkingf15]

Had a tow truck operator here unwind his cables about 200 feet to reach trailer truck. His cables both fell off the drum. His mechanic had to come out and reattach them. Truck was new.

[@davidrigoni8231]

Sounds like someone at the plant didn't complete their job one Friday afternoon before heading home for the weekind

[@kennytoler6485]

Awesome safe work!!!! Thanks for sharing

[@wdkirkes62]

Watching on Christmas Day. God Bless you

[@jjeckel3825]

Hi Ron. Love the videos, stay safe and god bless you and your co-workers.

[@borderreiver3288]

despite all the snow and heavyweight..a nice easy job for you..

[@jamesleake2121]

A another good video Ron and I say you was right that was a bit of a heavy pull stay safe

[@ralphmausehund332]

May God bless you aswell Brother

[@robertbowling8393]

I have forgotten exactly what feature the 'winching brake' performs .... I could see the rotator sliding backwards until you set this brake, but your setting it definitely took care of the sliding. I've heard you mention setting this brake in prior videos, but have forgotten exactly what it does. Again, many thanks for sharing. God Bless you as well .... Stay safe, and many Blessings.

[@tallman11282]

The winching brake applies the regular service brakes, just like if someone had their foot on the brake pedal, to increase the rolling resistance.

[@DavidWood2]

The winching brake locks the service brake on on all wheels. It provides more stopping power than the regular parking brake fitted to the truck by the manufacturer.

[@MrMagnat007]

Wow.. Thats enough light on the 'tator to light up a stadium !!! but to hear the outrigger sliding was a chilling sound.. Do you inspect the winch wire after taking such a heavy strain ??

[@Sara-L]

I'd inspect that chain too! If that snaps under a load the fragments will go through your skull like bullets.

[@docholiday1034]

Hate pullin on those rot boxes....nice job.

[@jeffwaite6624]

Thanks for posting your intro music

[@TheSwampdoggydog]

That sure was a very heavy little pull, stay safe my friend

[@timrowland1490]

Ron Pratt does it again!
