[@HeavyRecoverywithSteve]

Glad you enjoy it , thanks for watching Brad.

[@BobMc87]

Think that's me watched all your videos now, and what a great channel Steve! You clearly are very good at your job, I know that isn't an easy job at all, but..... you make it look extremely easy! Was recovered a few months ago, I had a Scania with an electric handbrake, and he rear lifted it. Tool him a wee while to switch off the handbrake, as it comes on when the door is opened, and possibly the minute the engine is switched off. All these things to consider doing your line of work! Keep up the videos! Love them!

[@HeavyRecoverywithSteve]

Hi Bob thanks very much for watching , will do mate Cheers.

[@davidrogerbinnyi2573]

Another successful mission luckily on the better end of the truck smell wise .Stay safe and healthy Steve ..

[@HeavyRecoverywithSteve]

Thanks David for watching , best wishes.

[@oddities-whatnot]

Always amazes me how a thin steel cable can pull such a lot of weight.

[@HeavyRecoverywithSteve]

Thanks for watching , the truck runs crane cables which our 33t on single line, but you would work to the SWL not max load so you should never snap one , just add snatch blocks to rigging to half the load.

[@nigeldunne7505]

We're in bucks was you close to the bass I hope keep up the good work mate ☘️🤓👍

[@HeavyRecoverywithSteve]

Thanks for watching , not me today on m1 , company runs 3 Daf XF's.

[@dmask544]

HI saw you I London today first time ever going there and saw you working on a bus didn't know it was you until know looking at the registration plate I was the one that kept looking back to see if it was you or not So can you stick that video on YT pls

[@dmask544]

Forgot to put I'm 15 and like watching your videos Also if you recorded it pls pls pls post it cheers

[@HeavyRecoverywithSteve]

Thanks for watching video , yes was me loading the Bus up , not able to film it too much of the company details block out mate.

[@jozuafrancis9763]

What does 2 to 1 pull mean?

[@HeavyRecoverywithSteve]

Hi Jozua by using a snatch block we double the pulling capacity of the winch one a single line and by having the cable doubled this halfs the load on each cable so keeping with SWL of cables breaking point.

[@garylittlecott9082]

Nice little job Steve, how much would that sort of recovery cost?

[@HeavyRecoverywithSteve]

Thanks for watching Gary , dont get involved with pricing mate.

[@regtimmins1944]

Sir is it me or do you have a new main panel for operating the system on your truck it's been awhile since I've checked out your you tube channel thanks and could you please confirm it or explain the update to your truck

[@HeavyRecoverywithSteve]

Hi Reg its a newer Daf truck i am driving now mate , different body and recovery equipment but looks similar with company logo. Did do a quick tour of truck on channel.

[@greengiant1006]

What the best was to get into this line of work??

[@HeavyRecoverywithSteve]

Thanks for watching , you will need a hgv class 1 licence and bit of mechanical knowledge and give you local recovery a call. There's a shortage of heavy drivers so hopefully they will take you out for a day and see if the jobs for you and go from there mate.

[@Bobtidbury]

You still show the traffic on the wrong side of the road in the opening sequence ,but otherwise another easy pull and very quickly done .

[@HeavyRecoverywithSteve]

Thanks for watching Robert , got to update that with new intro.

[@rickybobby9255]

Intro looks fine from here in the US! 😉

[@stugill4513]

least it wasnt up to its axles in a stinky landfill

[@HeavyRecoverywithSteve]

Thanks for watching Stu , only mud mate.

[@nikkeryge]

I wasn't even this early to my own birth.

[@DangerouslyStupid213]

How...? You know what ima not question it

[@arthurtwoshedsjackson6266]

I recognise that location 🤣.

[@HeavyRecoverywithSteve]

Thanks for watching again Chris , Cheers.

[@arthurtwoshedsjackson6266]

Chris ? 😂

[@HeavyRecoverywithSteve]

Sorry mate computer crashed , got someone else reply mate.

[@jackking5567]

Bin lorry driver was unlucky there. That was an old water channel within the woodland that was buried when the road and home were built and landscaped.

[@HeavyRecoverywithSteve]

Thanks for watching Jack , and sharing your knowledge of area.

[@drummingriffin]

Typical Council worker sat in the cab letting you do all the work Steve 🤣🤣😂😂

[@HeavyRecoverywithSteve]

Thanks for watching , kept driver in the cab so he can steer and brake when required and safer he out the way of the winch cables.

[@ekkeplasschaert7036]

I'm surprised the garbage truck driver stays in the cab while you remove the mud. he could have done that himself.

[@HeavyRecoverywithSteve]

Thanks for watching , safer for the driver to remain in cab , so he can brake and steer if required and keep away from the winch lines.

[@DomingoDeSantaClara]

I used to drive one of those, honestly it would've been better to bury it, bloody awful trucks.

[@HeavyRecoverywithSteve]

Hi Domingo thanks for watching .
