POP, DROP & ROLL!!! TAKEUCHI TL12V2 SKID STEER ROLLOVER RECOVERY.

[@dennisbailey4296]

I agree with Benton Bailey you guys really make it real in the professional world to jest have a great interaction with your guys you're working with. Whether it's completely serious or not in conversation makes it less stressful to do the job. All the best from Canada

[@kamoonrathewolfgod9189]

Oh my that was a hard one to do. Heavy, down a hill, trees all around, hot, dark. About the only thing you had going for you was the lack of over head wires and no rain. But as always, you did it with the help of two of your best workers Mike and David. Enjoyed watching all of you work together.

[@charleswilson6069]

Mike and David,,, one efficient knowledgeable team. I'd vote them coworkers of the quarter with no hesitation from what I see on these videos. Good job.

[@susanowens6393]

Another great job well done. There isn't a job that Ron cant do. He is the best.

[@TheTsunamijuan]

One of those situations where having a rotator saves you from doing alot more damage. Its neat seeing the tator being pushed more.They are amazing tools.

[@loosemoose9799]

That was an impressive rescue handled well by Tator, Ron and the crew.

[@producerk8247]

Thanks for the extra footage Ron! Nice to see different angles on the recoveries. As always, stay safe out there.

[@bengtkorswing5279]

That is an impressive tow truck. Skid steers are surprisingly heavy for their size.

[@bennybruin7725]

My first observation is the amount of patients you have and how you are always a teacher always explaining to the crew why you are doing things the way that you do. I have a question about the Rotator do you have more lifting capabilities with the winch or the hydraulic boom? once again thank you for sharing your amazing abilities God Bless and be well my Friend

[@gary1705]

[@budtow]

Now I know why you love that truck!

[@SuperBigblue19]

Good thing your in Missouri , because here in Wa you would of needed a permit before you could cut trees down . And then probably an arborist to determine if any damage was done to the tree the skid steer bumped into. Then OSHA would of sent you a warning letter for having someone operating a chainsaw without a face shield.

[@TheClampettmobile]

HOORAY! A JOB VIDEO! I was beginning to think things had dried up in Missouri. Tough job made easy. Ya dune good!

[@Samanthareneeheart1]

You wouldn't think a a small machine would be THAT HEAVY, but it was a heavy pice of equipment. Nothing the rotator couldn't handle, but she had to grunt a bit on this one. Due to where it was, the angles and everything, but you made a successful recovery thats what matters & everumyone goes home safe at the end of the day.

[@Whereismy10mm]

I'm surprised you didn't put the stinger down all the way for more rear support since you were starting to float the front.

[@davidnull5590]

@Ron Pratt. --- near the beginning of the video the expression you are looking for is **arch** nemesis. The prefix arch-/archi- means "primary," so someone's archenemy is their principal or main enemy. Nemesis, on the other hand, has multiple definitions, including "archenemy," "diametrically opposite" ("polar opposite"), and several other mythological or literary meanings.

[@RonPratt]

I explained it prior and in other videos, that I am simply making a play on words. "Arc" nemesis that I often refer to is referring to the electric wires that I always seems to be working around. I understand the difference between arch and arc. I do appreciate your comments though. Thank you for watching and God bless.

[@davidnull5590]

@@RonPratt --- Sorry Ron, I didn't get it. I knew a girl from Rolla who thought it was arc-enemy, so I thought it might have been a Missouri thing. I've been a subscriber for about 4? years or so, thanks for the response. I enjoy your videos.

[@thomasgarwell8214]

I'd call this a bit of a pickle. As some have said, you'll probably need to repaint your hooks, but the tractor (just to the point on the film of Mike cutting the trees), looks as if a coat of paint isn't needed :)

Man those lil Skidsteers are heavy. I was wondering if you would be able to lift it or drag it up. I just videoed my first Towing video this past Sunday.. We had just got back from Church, when a 16yo boy crashed into the Pine trees in front of our house. No injuries! Amazing. Anyway, I wonder what Ron thought of the tow truck operator who removed the car. I posted the video on my KZbin Channel.

This might be an inappropriate question to ask but I'm genuinely curious. On how much your workers make per hour or at least a rough estimate because I'm interested in this type of job that i need to know if it's currently worth switching careers over and if it makes financial sense to do so.

For the smaller trees that were cut, maybe it would have been better to cut them more at an angle instead of straight across?

Look up the term "punji sticks"... that will tell you why you don't cut something that is growing out of the ground at an angle. Especially when you might trip over it later on...

[@xxkillerkane420xx8]

Lol this is a very common thing to hear from customers. They usually dont think about us showing up in a million dollar truck. A lot of them also dont understand that we wont put our trucks in a situation where we could lose the truck. There isnt a job in the world worth losing a wrecker over. I have gambled the truck a few times over the years but never a situation where I wont have full control of the truck ie parking on loose ground. Ive picked weight a little over my safe limit but I only needed to lift it inches off the ground and hold it. Ive also had a couple jobs where ive had to tell the customer that its my truck and my career on the line and if they wanted me to complete the job it would cost them a second truck or I could disassemble and head home.

[@RonPratt]

@@xxkillerkane420xx8 Yes, most customers don't think in the same way we have to. On this job, for example, I knew that it would be floating my front end with the carriage rolled back, the boom at full extension, and the boom elevation flat, but I would rather risk floating the front end than rolling the truck down the same embankment. We have to take calculated risks. That's just part of the job. Glad you understand. Thanks for watching and God bless.

[@xxkillerkane420xx8]

@@larrykeenan598 73000 plus the skid steer in lift plus when the machine is hung up by branches or concrete slabs or even just trying to drag it a little, the weight adds up very quick and being that far out behind the truck you really have to watch weights. They even mentioned that the truck had sunk a little just during the roll over.

Ron Pratt I’m sure this guy was just trying to be helpful, but he’s definitely not thinking like you. Also not likely a soil engineer. Nice recovery!

It reminds me of the good times i had working in recovery, service and machine delivery with my dad from my elementary school years until he passed away on a skiing trip in 2004, just a few months before i turned 18. You have the same service minded attitude, no job is too small or too big. Always polite, helpful in any way possible or neccesary. He was, much like you, viewed as a man that could do just about anything with what he brought to the job site. I commend your service to your community, customers and the unfortunate individuals in sore need of a helping hand. Althought you may not have wings yet, A saving saint indeed you are.
