THE PICK & PULL. RR TRUCK BURIED TO THE FRAME!!!

[@wideslammer]

I like Oscar's way of working -- quickly and efficiently.

[@frelnc]

He's calm, and never seems to doubt himself. Good man!

[@pheonixdragon2261]

I applaud whoever welded those D-Ring mounts as I've seen several that break loose with that type of strain. And cheers to Oscar for a job well done and learning from Ron.

[@EricScrapping4Dinidog]

Ron teaching is an excellent thing. I learned by getting into, rigging and doing the work. It’s tough especially when you’re doing heavy recovery work

[@jasondrake6710]

👍👍

[@harveywaitchison2062]

I would have Oscar on my team any (every) day of the week!

[@litz13]

Wow ... what a demonstration of the pure, raw, brute force strength of the new truck. Absolutely the correct tool for this job!

[@CharlesPhillipNeave]

Another great job, with Oscar doing all the hard work and soaking in knowledge from Ron!! Have a great weekend, Mr Ron and crew!

[@Charles-re4vd]

Ron is a great " teacher" he'll let Oscar do most of the job, that's the best way to learn.

[@jasondrake6710]

@@Charles-re4vdI agree!!

[@royknight3099]

Oscar is definitely a keeper, intelligent and oozes logic

[@MargieKye-xq5ti]

Love seeing the new truck at work. Oscar seems to be a terrific employee. Reminds me of Mike in some ways. Happy to hear Oscar being introduced and acknowledged. Excellent video! Super job!

[@mikeharris3148]

Must have been in Illinois all amber lights

[@EricScrapping4Dinidog]

He could use a little practice driving and rigging. He’ll probably get it. That’s good Ron takes him out and teaches the new guys how to drive in tight spaces and teaches them about rigging and doing recovery work before he puts them on their own

[@jasondrake6710]

👍👍

As usual Mr Pratt you have an answer which works. That's why I enjoy watching your channel. Professionalism all the way.

Glad to see Oscar on the job.

Miss seeing Ethan though.

[@ferguscampbell2485]

You two made a tough looking gob look easy. The new machine is look like a fantastic purchase.

[@hollywoodredneck8565]

I love the Robinsons reference from the t-rex "I have this big head, and these tiny arms" a hilarious movie for all ages!! Also great job with the lift and pull, some people may not realize it but because of how deep the tires were you may as well think of it like a wall that high that the tire is trying to clear, with no lift it's supremely more resistance. And we're aaaaaalllllllllllllll glad the tank didn't hit or rupture.

[@teaches2010]

Awesome to see how far oscar has came!!!❤❤

[@AirWasTaken]

Nice job maneuvering that massive wrecker. Seems pretty hard considering how big it is. Hope you have a good day!

[@NickManCuso59]

Amazing what you can do with experience knowledge and the right equipment !

[@rebelliousmedic]

I can just imagine the resistance that was there with that RR truck buried. Between all of the equipment on the truck, the railroad axles/wheels, and it's a tandem axle on top of that. I'd be willing to bet that truck was pushing 60,000 lbs. Great work boys.

[@tractorboy31]

I thought the rr worker said it was 56k when ron said he was thinking 60k. But either way just a few pounds

[@RefVengance]

Awesome job Ron and Oscar! You made it look like a cake walk with the new rig. Kudos to the welder of those D-rings too. I've learned a lot from watching your videos, and I have applied your approaches to the farm equipment I now have. Thanks for sharing your wisdom Ron.

[@eloleddie]

When one started noticing the movement of the truck getting out of the mud, i all looks so simple! But the truck had to be pulled out just so! Great work by a skilled operator!!

[@wilycat5290]

Oscar appears to be one of the best partners Ron has ever had onsite by far 😊

[@stevebury6560]

Hello I have watched your video on Terry. I am so sorry for his trouble and wish him the best. Also I wish all at midwest Truck the best. I have watched your channel for years (7). You have shown me a lot in that time. My prayers go out to all of you and Terry!!!

[@EricScrapping4Dinidog]

Me too. I’ve used a ton of his techniques

[@djplayskeys]

Whoever built that rail truck did a good job on the welds on those d-ring straps. Love seeing Oscar out with you in the new truck. Definitely knows what he’s doing and learning from the master.

[@philippenaluna2312]

You were really on the 'right track' with that one, Ron. At least that MoW truck hadn't gone 'off the rails'. That would've been bad! The job's a good 'un! Greetings from the UK. God bless.

[@Brian75-ej5mn]

Great job Ron and Oscar the new truck is a BEAST and a great add to the fleet as always stay safe and GOD BLESS you all

[@dailyp1]

As always Ron, you make it happen, no matter the circumstances. Also, I can't believe how quickly Oscar has adapted. I've seen such dramatic growth and eagerness to learn in every situation.Kudo's Oscar. You will be a Super Star in the Rotater, Towing and Wrecker industry. Keep on keepin on My Brother.

[@SteveNicoson-u1i]

Thanks for an absolutely amazing video!!!! It was super interesting and extremely entertaining!!! My compliments to you and Oscar, Ron!!!! Your new truck is absolutely wonderful, it pulled and lifted that big truck without any effort what so ever. Wow. Fantastic!!!!! My compliment to you Ron , for turning the process over to Oscar for him to learn and have your guidance. That is the sign of a great teacher!!!!!! Nice going Ron. The railroad should be very happy with the service you gave them. Got the truck out and no damage anywhere. Very very nice work. It was a pleasure to watch this one. You and Oscar did a great job. Your have a good employee in Oscar. Thanks for everything Ron. God bless!!!! The retired Air Force veteran.

[@craigpridemore7566]

After watching so many of these I shouldn't be stunned when one goes this easily, but I was...nice work

[@charleswelch249]

I love the blue on the new truck. And that recovery went better than expected after seeing the situation. Great job Ron .

[@randyedwards5010]

Ron Pratt you are the master.

[@feliciafisher3748]

Oscar is the best.

[@dominicdahlheimer6861]

The D-rings were tougher than we all expected! Nice job in kinda tight quarters. Very soon you will have memorized where all the equipment is so you don't wear out doors / latches looking for things.....lol!

Keep up with the good work Ron and team love watching you on KZbin god bless

[@francisbaker9366]

Morning Ron, I hope you don't mind but European wheel stand off lifting / fixing point would help here as they also allow the wheels to rotate when pulling. Glad those d rings held this time 😅

[@gregadomeit4020]

When you guys pulled up I was thinking spreader bar and really thought that after I saw the D-rings. Those things welded on that truck very well. I had to get one out like that up here in Michigan ended up picking it with a spreader. Great job guys. Take care be safe and God Bless. Greg

[@susandallessandro5076]

You and Oscar make a great team! You both work well together. This was a different one for sure. I had faith in you guys but not the D rings! They looked like they would snap for sure.

[@alanstant9356]

Oh wow, that predicament they got themselves into Ron. That had to be challenge to get that out of there. Gret recovery guys and the hard work put into it. God Bless you guys in all you do.

[@fastst1]

Good exercise in geometry! Be nice if the folks building the trucks would realize they're going to get stuck so make recovery easy. I'll usually try to use the 1 inch d-rings but still those are only rated for 15k wll way lower than the mighty wrecker. I have seen a locomotive recover a mired excavator with a 2 inch cable, it was like a big dog tied to a coffee cup.

[@gordonrichardson2972]

Definitely surprised that those D-rings on the back of that vehicle held up to that lift and pull!

[@squelchstuff]

Oscar seems both competent, and cautious , thinking about the equipment he has charge of. Certainly an asset to your company Ron. I like what I see of him. That was an interesting job you had there, and I dare say, more ccomplex than it appeared. Thanks for sharing. Oh! by the way, did you resolve the problem with the safety chains on that rig?

[@DrewMarold]

Ron, something to consider for the next truck you get, have the lift axle be at the rear instead of the front and it'll give you a better turning radius.

[@dinsole3311]

Ron, you need to get you a pair of stilts that sheetrock guys use. That would make you about two feet taller. Only problem, the Prattfalls would be terrible.

Another neat Job Oscar, well done lad👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🥰🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🇬🇧

[@ianphilips2291]

Well executed job Ron

[@tomvickerman8792]

Ron, just an FYI for you. The Hi-rails put an extra 5 - 6000 lbs on the front axles of that truck and an extra 8 - 10000 lbs on the back, so be careful when pulling a hi-rail truck. I worked on the railway as a mechanic for 33 years, and saw lots like that.

[@barryshisler3720]

Great job Ron and crew Stay safe and God bless

[@ivoman7]

It's good to hear you're liking the truck. My concern was the weight of the blocks that attach for hook up. Also the weight of the new (orange) hooks. Both a little bit over-engineered, imo. But I'm not working with them. So I can't say for sure at all. Just leaving some comments. ✌

[@johnwarren-649]

D rings is very last resort for recovery pulls or lifting. Ive seen them pop before its not fun when they do. Great job Oscar

[@N3m3sis51]

Another notch for the star

Yes the welder who welded those D-rings on definitely needs to be teaching others

[@jeffclark2725]

They really had that truck stuck, but no match to the new truck,thumbs up, great video

[@chrisf5418]

Ron - If you could get the doors of the truck's boxes to fold completely down & flat against the truck, then you could use the wheel rims as a step.

[@nickellingson7035]

Great job Oscar and Ron. Is this the biggest pull with the new Star?

[@888johnmac]

$10 says Ron stopped by a store on the way back to base & got a step - stool .. lol

That's funny.😆😆

[@danbrooks8241]

I was thinking lottery ticket as trusting those d rings to hold was like playing Russian roulette, but I dont think Mr. Pratt is the gambling for pleasure type

[@JackMacLupus]

Well, he already has a, how he calls it, "Short persons little helper" in the Tator, so the chance is high that the new Truck will get one too. XD

when the customer finds a way to give you a test. lol. You have already did the simple jobs for them and they say try this, 60k pounds axle depth, leaning into a fence on a rail road right of way, in an alley.... the only other complication could they could give is on its side, lol good job you make it look so easy.
