Friday Night Cat Fight!!! Tator VS The Dozer!!!

[@williambtm1]

What helps you out quite a bit is your temperament, you hit it off with the customer, you listen, then you plan your strategy. The mark of an intelligent operator. Well done Ron.

[@JS-wc4xs]

No offense, but the customer kinda reminds me of dale from King of the Hill. The accent anyways

[@alandaters8547]

I'm no prude, but Ron seems to manage heat, cold, rain, snow, hard work, and danger without the need for F-bombs. A real gentleman.

That Rotator never ceases to amaze me. So incredible the things those machines can do.

[@ajw6715]

An old trick my father showed me back in 1965 chain a 14' pole about 8" in diameter across the tracks and back right out. The pole will break the sucksion. Keep adding poles ae needed. I used the pole trick in the milatary on a stuck D6 in 1974. Works.

[@Nudnik1]

Russian trucks videos off road never get stuck used that method. Awesome

[@dalefried4335]

Worked for me when I was too cheap to hire a wrecker

[@mikecrawford4506]

Nice. Save you the hassle of a wrecker.

[@tiredoldmechanic1791]

My father was an operating engineer. He always said a bulldozer without a winch was scrap iron. It takes steady pressure to get out of mud.

[@davidjones8680]

Wise words well said.

[@ke6gwf]

Kind of hard ripping rock with a winch, but he probably has more experience than I do... ;)

[@MustObeyTheRules]

@@ke6gwf must’ve lived in the Midwest where’s there’s no rocks hardly lol

[@lindahickman5722]

Thanks for taking me and my boyfriend on a joy ride we are seeing places where we have never seen thank you from Munford Alabama

[@gazof-the-north1980]

That Tator truck is awesome. Loads of pulling power.

[@bradklingensmith]

When you pull up on site and your brain says sweet mother of pearl...and also say her kitty kitty. Always nice to have a good civilian helping that knows what he is doing. Impressive!

[@allanmeehan89]

I love the old ways of life and that gentleman was awesome. Thank you Ron.

[@7curiogeo]

Ron you make that tator work like no one can. Always the good eye and Experiance. Always so nice to watch a pro.

[@paulprobst7728]

Absolutely! Amazing team.

[@michaelking3327]

this was a battle of suction, gravity, weight, traction, and pulling power. anyone that says they'll never use geometry and math in a tow truck is lying, geometry and math are the two most important things in tow truck, that, and a good sense of humor!

[@yankeetothecore]

OMG! The tator odd road 😮.. My heart was pounding the whole time.

[@stephendx935]

I like customers who help out. This is another good customer seeing something that needs to be done and make Ron's life easier. The case taking the snatch block down.

[@mslorry3420]

Ron, thank you for the ride through the countryside. Missouri is a beautiful place away for the glamour of the city!

[@missmacNZ]

Hi Mr Pratt. Found your videos and most interesting. Familiar with trucks and equipment but first time watching this Big Boy in action. Well done and love your easy informative style. Respect from New Zealand

[@IHcubcadet]

Good work fellas! Good dozer operator there,he knew to stop and get help and not bury the dozer any deeper.

[@chuckmoore1380]

"Killer from Miller", still undefeated! Great video, Ron.

[@yvindHvaal]

The rotator is a mean machine! And it has a very skilled operator. Stay safe Mr Pratt!

[@procarrytrucker4101]

Very skilled operator indeed.

[@paulprobst7728]

@@procarrytrucker4101 I've been amazed ... it's like Tator is a natural extension of Ron, like a hand in a glove! I also have come to appreciate Ron: unmatched experience, professionalism, and second-to-none customer service; one cool guy! Thanks for sharing, @Ron Pratt!

[@timkaldahl]

The operator did a really good job of keeping the tracks from spinning. I was surprised to see it come with just the double line. Kudos to both of these guys.

[@andrewspence8100]

Great work from a great operator,another happy customer, wel done Ron.

[@mehere7514]

When the cat operator is having power of positive thinking, I've been there

[@ZakHesse]

I’m glad I read the descriptions for every video I ever watch on KZbin. This one right here is the best on I’ve read in a long long time! I hope everyone else read it too... God Bless You and Yours Sir!

[@saramartin1234]

Fun to watch you work with such a great attitude toward job and your customer....Blessings to you and your family. 🙏👠👠

[@steelfist65]

Seemed like you were working with a great guy. Always a pleasure when you've got a good customer. Great video as always!

[@royallgood2201]

Great job

[@rayshutsa6690]

It is always amazing to watch Ron work his magic on another recovery. Thanks Ron for another video and God bless.

[@paulnelson9907]

At the end I saw the operator leave, that dozer had mud up in the radiator and under-carriage that needed to be cleaned out right away, but he was gone! Nice work 70,000 lb machine pulling a 40,000 lb machine uphill and buried 3 foot in the mud, Nice work!

[@DG-sz7gp]

I love watching your videos first because you are a God fearing Man who put God first in your life and you love your family and coworkers. God Bless You stay safe out there Gerard

[@curlybibliophagist2]

What a great video. I liked the way you and the customer worked together.

[@davidjones8680]

Friday lunch watching Mr Ron. Always a real pleasure. DJ in the U.K.

[@Stratos53100]

Real Smooth...Times like that where you think, Please Brakes Hold up...As soon as the Cat started moving it was not an issue, Tator FTW ( For the Win ) D6 is a classic certainly dont see those in action very often.

[@timbowhite3215]

Morning Mr Ron Pratt Sir & God Bless You & All Of You're Whole Family Today & I'll Be Praying

[@plumbcrazy375]

You are a very respectful man I grew up the same way God bless

[@ronrockemann8931]

I love the way you assess the problem and and put your mind to work and you always get the job done one way or the other good job Ron

[@russelltrupia4479]

WOW that was a AWESOME pull great job Sir.

[@greyjay9202]

Ron, that rotator of yours punches above its weight. Those Cat dozers are heavy, and that one was mired deep. Well done!

[@johnhurd6243]

I was gonna say "spoiler alert" but then again...

[@fhuber7507]

The operator can make a huge difference in what the equipment can accomplish.

[@chrisf5418]

Together, they are... The Rontator!

[@MustObeyTheRules]

Well his truck is almost double the weight

[@lowermichigan4437]

Nice job. Whenever you get a dozer stuck you are in some seriously nasty stuff. Got to visit Missouri recently. Nice state.

[@bilb0_bagg1ns4]

Been watching for two years now I found your channel by searching rollback videos when I first got the job as a driver. I've learned so much from your videos just wanted to say thank you so much. I admire your professionalism and how you make safety the top priority at all times. Keep up the great work Ron. Stay safe out there

[@48retrop]

It never to ceases to amaze me the places these tractor operators try to go. Heavy iron, wet & slippery mud just don't mix. I always say to myself "Don't go there" but they do it anyway.

[@als8518]

well with a dozer there are places you can go over once ok... but not twice. first pass tears it up and vibrates it too much.

[@kevinharris1914]

Very nice work, Ron. I find it always a pleasure to watch your recovery adventures. Knowing what to do and enjoying what you do make your work day like a walk in the park. I had strong sense of knowing a side pull was not going to be successful. To see the Rotator go off the hard, paved surface was a first for me, and happy to see everything work out for the customer and you. Thanks and blessings to you.

[@-ray-h]

LOL - Love it... "Cat Fight" & "The Pete that can't be Beat" Also love the detail wording on the Intro Ron... "Tator up on the ropes" like the wrestling guys do before they leap and fly in the air after their opponent... Made me laugh when I read that... Wow that Cat was sucked into that mud like quicksand I'll tell ya... "Pete" had no problems with that bout...! Thanks for the driving part too Ron... Always like to see what's around in the area... Love that spread out farm land scenery, considering we have to drive quite a ways to see something like that... ALSO Always glad to see ya doing a job off the interstate where you don't have to worry about the cars and truck not moving over... Love your videos Ron...! They always make my day & seeing you interacting with folks gives me that extra boost that helps me get through the day too... You are such an inspiration, which is one of the main reasons I watch your channel... Thank you all the way around...! Have a good and safe 4th with your family...!

[@welshman2081]

HI, Great extraction, planned well as said, inline boom lifted, you did work well together, nice and slowly does it, shows your skill in getting out on such a steep bank. Regards welshman2081

[@DarkVoidIII]

Ron, to his coworker at the shop: "I went fishing this morning." Coworker: "What'd you catch?" Ron: "A 19,500kg Cat D6!" Coworker: "Oh your 'Tator really knows how to pull in the big ones!" :D

[@chrisf5418]

Imposter! This ain't metric country!

[@wallycoughlan7291]

I love watching big machines doing big jobs- THAT was a thing of beauty-

[@josephdriscoll8527]

Impressive pull , I was amazed to see the tator leave the road nice to take mild risk

[@oddtechman]

Awesome job there Ron.. looked a lot easier than I know it actually was! That was a tough ol pull for the Tator! Thanks for sharing :)

[@kevinkenyon7045]

Ron great video, that was buried pretty deep! Thanks for sharing . Thanks for sharing. Kevin

[@vickiel1284]

Love your written intro. 😁

[@markb.1259]

Anytime I see a video from Ron that's less than 30 minutes in length, I get sad. I'm not sad today!!! Thanks Ron! :-)

[@wheelitzr2]

Your titles are always awesome! Thank you Ron!

[@Kamila_Alaiah]

Your work continues to amaze me with each video. And your work ethic is second to none. Your customer relationships are above reproach. I'd love to see you with a fleet of Tators if it was possible. Because you certainly have the talent

[@jimsblack]

I always enjoy watching the unusual things you do. It makes your channel much more interesting than just watching crashes.

[@kimwagoner1147]

Great video Ron. Your parents did a great job raising you. You remind me of my son, neither of you has ever met a stranger. In your videos every person you encounter seems to be your friend.

[@petessite]

well done Ron, you get some jobs eh , sure did win the ol CAT over in all the soup too , well done ol chap ,great videos , regards to you from the UK

[@mrbrown3462]

Sometimes when we get in where we need a little extra traction with lift axle down we slide our boom back as far as it goes I've even extended boom out. I love you videos you have talent sir. We do mostly farm equipment recovery here in NY it takes patients and some ingenuity to get in and out of some of the places farmers go and usually alot of soft ground.

[@vincea3037]

Always a pleasure when you've got a good customer

[@genestatler2514]

The description of the fight between Tator and the Cat up above is just cooler than heck!!!

Another fantastic job Ron!

[@loosemoose9799]

Tator and Ron are an unbeatable team. Great video as always.

[@zundapp8229]

What a lovely customers you have , Ron. I didn’t understand most of what he said,!!, but sure sounded a nice guy. I now know, there’s mud and there’s Mississippi mud. This seemed beyond mud, more like liquid chocolate really. And, as ever, the tator and Ron won 🏆

[@charlieronk7909]

Wow!! Very impressive Ron on a single doubled up cable!

[@parker1999np]

it's cool seeing what it's like to do an off road recovery with a 72.000 LB Tator

Good job ron. As usual tater saves the day with the help of his friends

[@jamesleake2121]

A interesting job today The Tator got it done Happy 4th of July Weekend To you and your family Ron and the Midwest crew hope you all have a wonderful and safe weekend

[@timmorin69]

Tator don't don't play around! Pulled that dozer out like it was a Volkswagen Jetta. 🤣🤣🤣

[@jamesalinio5277]

LMBO never thought I'd see the day that Tater would get stuck, even just a little bit, but you got her out with out too much hassle, nice job Mr Pratt, be safe out there God bless and watch out for motorcyclists

[@acptelford1307]

What’s a Tater?

[@victorjeffers1993]

As always very professional an considerate oof others ! God Bless you Sir ! 👍👍

[@chrismoore8231]

I think I’d have passed out shovels and said let’s finish burying her. What impresses me most is your humbleness. Have a great 4th.

[@bennetts-revenge_2]

Weird seeing Tater off road. Knew she would get herself out! Love the Tater! Great job Ron!!! As usual!!!

[@rdint]

At the end of the job it's "I'll be right up to take care of you." "Okay" that's all he needed was his word. Well Done.

[@francisbailey3831]

TATOR is an assume vehicle, nothing will stop it from doing it's job Ron. another successful job completed. 👍👍👍👍

[@Vindicateur]

Ron,is probably the most wholesome dude ive ever seen in this world

[@raymondquave4070]

those high track D 6 H series are famous for the rear idler digging in an getting stuck

[@genekagarice4263]

The ole Tator never fails. Yet to see a job that it and the very skilled and qualified operator can do. It did have me a bit worried about her being off road but as always it came out flawless

[@robertpfuhl2679]

Got to give the skinner credit,he was slow and steady that’s a thousand times better than full power and going to the bottom

Hello happy man I am one of your followers from Saudi Arabia 👏👏

[@jaredstrehlein5605]

Nice. Pulling that dozer out of suction dirt, and we know Ron's tator is a super machine. The Tator said "This is Kitten play to get that big Cat out of a jam".

[@securetowing2513]

That was a lot easier than I thought it would be, But then again that’s always how a professional makes it look.

[@CH67guy1]

True professional with awesome equipment!

[@terrik38]

Whewwwwww I'm worn out just climbing that hill the first time ,I couldn't of made it anymore 😁 boy that thing was boggled down with mud , that's what I would call some serious mudding 😄 great job and video as always 👍👍👍👍👍

[@kylegund9651]

Still can’t believe the Tator went off road! Great job as always Ron

[@alphonsotate2982]

TATER BARELY MADE IT BACK ON TO THE ROAD not a off road vehicle at all

[@alphonsotate2982]

Like driving a motor coach off road

Gm Ron…thanks for another great video…God bless…💜

[@dandunning4409]

Easy money. No problem for the Tator. 1 line 1 block = 2 lines. No deadman No extra blocks No extra lines, No Excavator, No extra Dozer, not even a second wrecker. Easy pull for what could have been an extremly difficult and time consuming recovery. Stay safe out there Ron....

[@loganfreeman8099]

Ron I love your videos! I work a lot of long hours and don’t get much free time between work and trade school. But no matter where or what I’m doing I always look forward to/and make the time to sit down for dinner every Friday evening and watch your latest video! Thank you for always making great content!

Your Friday videos are the hightlight to my Friday nights.

[@kat2641]

WOWSERS!! I never truly realize before an I have watched tons of your recoveries.. An the clearance between the ground an the outrigger Stabilizers can not be more than the ground clearance bottom of axel pig to ground.. dang you sink much over 4 inches with the tandem axles?? Lol you might just be hung 0.0 .. 80,000 + wet off road?= A OH CRAP.. lol ""NOW"" I understand why you don't like to get off of the road with that rig!! ;-) laughing is kind of like me pulling into a cornfield with a semi empty and then attempting to pull out of the field overloaded...yep once the tires turn about 3 complete revolutions you might just as well set the air shut her down and get a toe 👍.. Thanks for another great video.. God be with you an stay safe!!! 😇

[@knowledgeispowermediaprodu7094]

This was so satisfying to watch! Outstanding work by the 'Tator...Tater...?! And you Ron! Lol.
