Ron Has To Call A Wrecker!!! 1 Truck, 2 Trucks, 3 Trucks, STUCK!!!

[@patdorman1359]

Not bad recovery but with a rollback you never get stuck Al you had to do is push yourself out with the deck

[@RonPratt]

Tried it....didn't work. Just pushed into the mud. Even placed wood blocks under the lift to help and they just pushed into the ground. I did attempt self-recovery before calling Mike. I didn't show that in the video, because I don't like using that method and I didn't want people to think that it was an acceptable method, because, according to the manufacturer, it is not. I was unsuccessful. Thanks for watching and God bless.

[@JohnHallgren]

@@RonPratt you might want to add this reply text to the Description so it might possibly be seen by more people. Since I am seeing multiple posts with this same suggestion.

[@RonPratt]

@@JohnHallgren Pinned as suggested. Good suggestion too. Thanks and God bless.

[@JohnHallgren]

@@RonPratt you’re certainly most welcome! And it also explains why the lift bar was SO dirty at end of video, which you did show. Guess people didn’t notice that detail?

[@RonPratt]

@@JohnHallgren They probably didn't. They also probably didn't notice all the wood we had placed under and around the tires to try to get myself free. Oh well. Some people just have to give their 2 cents worth.....

Thanks Ron for showing one of the very rare tow truck got stuck recoveries, but you did get it done and Mike has a special story too.

[@gregadomeit4020]

Ron I know the camera is not doing any justice on how steep the hill is. I drove wrecker for many years from a 1 ton up to 30 ton and loved doing recoveries but when your done and everyone is happy, you still have to put all the extra rigging away. Lol sometimes taking longer then the recoveries. Take care be safe and God bless. Greg

[@benjaminspencer6507]

I know you have a lot of experience and your dad did also, but. I got stuck like this in a rollback. I had only used it about 3 times, always drove a small wrecker. Well, I called dispatch and an older driver came out in a wrecker. He simple got out and used the bed of the rollback to walk it out of the mud!! I never forgot that! That was about 30 years ago.

[@tncountryboy06]

he tried to do that.. bed sank in the mud

[@russellrankin7980]

Skid steer with a winch would be handy for a job like that. Maybe some dealer would give a great deal on a good quality used one.

[@peggsargent7192]

Well this is the perfect time to re-spool your cable on the rollback Ron

[@HappilyHomicidalHooligan]

Except for the fact that he'd be doing it out in the cold rain and can't take his attention off the vehicles he's recovering to inspect the cable as it's spooling up...

Ron tends to do the respool once he gets back to base. No point doing that in front of the customers.

17:38 The "greatest rigging job" is explicitly defined as the following criteria: 1) Nobody gets hurt. 2) No equipment or vehicles get damaged. 3) No new stuff has to get bought. 4) Everything ends up where its supposed to be. 5) You get paid on time. Looks like this qualifies.

[@opmnavar]

Been there and done that it's no fun. Try using the wheel lift and blocks to get the rear wheel off the ground and under some wood. U can also extend the lift and push it forward that way once back wheels are off the ground

[@RonPratt]

Tried....unfortunately it didn't work. I just didn't show it in the video. If you look closely towards the end of the video, you can see where I attempted and just dug into the ground. You can also see the wood we attempted to get under the tires. Thanks for watching and God bless.

In the military when one recovery asset calls another recovery asset, due to first asset getting stuck, that requires the first asset to buy the second asset a case of their drink of choice.

A Ford, pulling a Peterbilt, that's pulling a GMC, that's pulling a Dodge. With all that going on, everyone forgot about the trailer that's still at the bottom of the hill...which is what the guys were TRYING to pull in the first place lol! As always, be safe and God bless you, your crew and your equipment!

[@tncountryboy06]

tune in next week when ron goes and pulls out the trailer that caused the whole mess lol... nah probably not

[@handymansteve]

they needed go drag the trailer over and hitch it up, then drag the dodge up to where it could hook to the gmc with the trailer behind it...... those rollbacks have major pulling power.... ron just needed to park on the gravel 5 ft to the side.... wouldn't change the angle of pull much for that length of line

[@DD-mp9ok]

I love these "different" scenarios, lol. Just goes to show that even the best laid plans can go awry. They seemed like really nice folks & that always helps! 👍

[@peternormoyle4877]

You definitely get your cardio in going up and down that Hill

[@jaratt85]

You might try spray painting the last few wraps of the cable a different color (maybe dayglo orange or high vis yellow?) so that you can quickly tell at a glance that you're where you need to stop... sort of like using gradated line when fishing that changes colors every so often to let you know how much you have out. Anytime you do any sort of anything that has mechanical stuff with it, you should have a leatherman tool or gerber on your belt. Seems like it should've been a job for the Western Star. And the Chevy took off with your green strap still on his bumper..

[@Dan-uv5lw]

Reminds me of the video with the Tundra in the water. It was raining, And, About the same distance. Time go to the 4024, And the trailer is still down there.

As soon as I saw you put the J-hooks on the front of 15, I said "Hey, that one's backwards". But you caught it. How the heck you coil that extra length of cable without it becoming a tangled mess is a marvel. Ron, I'm old enough to be your dad, and since he's not around to tell you, please let me give you some advice. You are breathing hard on some of these videos.... too hard. For the sake of your family, hire a $15.00 an hour kid to learn the trade and do all the lugging for you. Win Win for everyone!

I helped with an organization up in the Dakotas called Farm Rescue. We had one field of barley left to plant and hit a huge swale (we were told it was solid) and buried a JD with 12 tires, a sixty foot seed drill and a seed wagon. We got the wagon out and were working on the seeder when the bottom fell out. It began raining just before that. It took two tractors with 12 tires each to get it out two days later. There are cartoons showing impossible situations with the caption, "don't ever give up".... Well Done Sir Pratt.

I had a friend that got a pickup, tractor, dump truck and a Cat dozer stuck as each was trying to pull the others out.

Reminds me of back in the 70's and I was helping a truck repair business with a wrecker. (Old Mack 50's model and 2 stick 4 x 4 transmission way before hydraulic winches and moveable sticks). Went with him to a stuck cement truck. Turned out to be 2 stuck. One got stuck trying to pull out the other. We set up on the street. Wasn't a hard pull. Little pickup comes along and ignores our attempt to flag him and runs into the cable. Fortunately it was higher than the hood. The cable amazingly slid over the windshield and there was no damage. None of the safety protocols you follow being used. Anyway job well done. Be safe always and keep posting.
