Ron i watched this video this morning there was nothing wrong with it. You Tube get a grip. Ron prat is one of the most respectful people on You Tube.

[@martinbowskill5511]

Agreed Marty Australia

[@avuscnscot]

I love the guy who owns this sand company. I recall a while back one of his trucks went off the roadway loaded, and he was insistent after you got him back on the road that he continue to deliver his load before getting the truck fixed. Now he's out here taking care of this one. Its easy to see why you say you'll show up anywhere anytime to help him out!

[@morsecodereviews1553]

As soon as I saw that Yankum I thought "Matt's Off Road Recovery" too. In fact, I came to this channel through his lol

[@maryrader4037]

thats how i found this channel by watching Matt's Off Road Recovery I love both channels

[@Hazzardmatt1]

He needs it yellow and blue. Just like matt has his yellow one 😂😂

[@jessicacoley8745]

exactly, thought of him too.

[@bryan5580]

Seen em on Welker Farms videos. Yankum is sure hitting YT hard for advertising.

[@kramnoslaw4474]

Same here I thought of MORR's

[@robertmayer7678]

When you said you had to go turn around all I could think of was that old country song, "Give Me 40 Acres..."

[@TheTsunamijuan]

Mark seems like such a nice guy, and every time we see him on the channel hes handling a disaster like a pro. If I could be so bold as to suggest maybe doing a sit down video with him sometime talking about safety and the challenges of running a fleet?

[@cojones8518]

A KZbinr "Matt's Off Road Recovery" uses those Yankem Ropes almost exclusively to yank stuck 4x4s out of the desert/sand dunes of southern Utah. Seems to work well.

[@patbrush8447]

My buddy has the 74k and the one above it. He's yanked out fully loaded semis before with his 3/4 ton truck and one with his 1/2 ton truck. Had to give a couple good yanks on it

[@tcdog9998]

I was looking to see if any one mentioned him he uses them in every video pretty much

[@knuffelbaer1971]

I wonder that the cars dont break with this heavy yanking...

[@redgarcia1427]

Yeah I mentioned Matt and Yankum yesterday when he 1st put the video up. And a couple of mentioned Ron and his big Tater on the job Matt did where the Gray XJ got swallowed by the sinkhole!! LOL ✌🐢

[@wssides]

@@knuffelbaer1971 The "yank" is applied relatively slowly as the energy of weight x motion of the pulling vehicle is applied to the stretching rope which applies it to the towed vehicle spread out over a longer time. Like the difference between an explosion and a burn- same energy but different speed.

[@kusinkleatus4780]

I must say, your son's hat is great, supports America with the flag and eagle, God bless Ron!

[@richfreedom6577]

You are right Ron everyone's got their own opinion so they don't need to harassed you for your son's hat he is who he is though it is pretty sad that you have to put little information out like that so you don't get harassed this world is getting so ridiculous once again run thanks a lot for your good work God bless you all amen

[@daveyburgess]

I'm ex-British Army, we had kinetic tow ropes for the Chieftain tanks back in the late 70's, they worked great for pulling out an 80 ton tank that was up to it's bellyplate in mud! Back the recovery tank up as close as possible, hitch up two recovery lines, then take off at full throttle! Popped out like a cork out of a champagne bottle! That was the problem though, the towing vehicle had to get out of the way fast!! The way they work is that the towing vehicle applies energy to the rope, and the faster it moves, the more energy it applies. That energy is then transferred to the towed end of the rope and can equal almost double the original input energy due to the rope being stretched up to 30% and snapping back!

[@throttlebottle5906]

shhhh, don't tell too much truth and facts ;)

[@dorothyford6616]

Dave B, would love to see one of those in action!😯

[@cliffwilson3678]

So I have recently came across Ron’s videos and find them awesome to watch. A very impressive family towing/recovery business. What I really appreciate is their safety culture, which is always on full display in all they do! Great job!

[@craigpridemore7566]

I like the fact that the most important thing to him, is 'no injuries!!!'. Thx Ron

[@BRMBeeGeesR1]

Nice to see Ethan! Looks like your Yankum will pay for itself in no time. Cap? What cap? All I see is a father and son checking out the new stuff. God Bless you!

That’s what America is about anyways the freedom to express one’s opinion and everything else. To many people today wanna bring politics into every situation anyways and that’s why the country is in the situation it’s in today. LETS ALL GET ALONG with each other. Good videos as always Ron

[@johnmontgomery6441]

Good job Mr. Ron. Glad to hear nobody got hurt. There is a guy out in Hurricane, Utah, Matt’s off road recovery, (that’s his you tube channel’s name), that uses the Yankum ropes for his recovery. From my understanding, he loves them. Good job as always and thank you for your videos, love them.

[@BryanTorok]

Ron, you are a credit to the human race. You show your philosophy of life in the way you conduct yourself. I don't practice your religion, but I defend YOUR right to do so. And, the same for your son to have his opinion whether or not I agree with it. God bless you.

[@davepatti2296]

Sorry, another "Matt's Off Road Recovery" plug....but you two guys have very similar attributes. Both run successful small businesses in your areas, employ some decent people, and treat people with respect and good will. You are both hard working and will not quit until the job is done. Thank you very much for putting together these videos of your work. Well done.

[@josedejesus6185]

Too bad that they didn’t listen to you at the beginning! They could have avoided more damage to the property. It didn’t take you long to easy him out! You are the man, Ron!

[@citrusfarmer]

One thing that is nice about Ron is that he believes in safety first.

[@rashellehyslip6292]

I applaud you for the way you treat everyone, especially your employees...

[@LarkspeedNL]

the triple honk when reversing is such a good idea that more truckers should do, it's been proven that people hear so many beepers and other things during any given day that they just don't notice things like back-up beepers and such.

[@saskiavanwijk6976]

The whole conversation between the 2 trucks made me laugh. Glad he made it out with just a little help. Love your channel. Educational and very interesting. Much love from the Netherlands.

[@phillipjump4830]

Mr. Pratt. I'm not sure if you read the stuff that people write to you on this website. But I very much appreciate the work that you and your crew does. Your like the police and fire departments. Your on call 24/7 365 days a year. My hat goes off to you and your crew.

Watched this video this morning, 12-10-23, happy to see not much property damage. Enjoy your channel !!!

[@harveystephens6115]

Ron ya gotta admit as you did, was quick and simple. I’ve watched a lot of videos of recoveries using a Yankum. Several farm videos with major 4 wheel drive tractors buried to drive shaft and belly of tractor. Hook another one to it with the 2” and pull it out. Light and easy to handle. Thanks for video. Enjoyed

[@Reckless2O5]

Glad to see everyone recommending Matt’s off-road recovery. My 2 favorite recovery channels

[@dalebrooks7205]

I had something similar back in the early 80s. Used it in my car to help pull someone out of a snow drift. Worked great - no jerking. Wasn’t terribly pleased with the hooks that were part of it, they warped pretty quickly. It lasted 20+ years, well worth the money!

[@crsuperman1]

Ron Pratt and Matt's off-road recovery. My two favorite recovery channels.

[@laurenjones3822]

My 9 year old special needs son Logan loves watching your videos. It's the only thing he will watch. He is nonverbal and when ever you complete lifting a truck he claps and gets so excited!! We love you here in GA

Ron, good to see the video back up. I really hope the driver was not seriously injured.

[@fridaynightgamefilm]

Glad to see another tow operator recognize the beauty of Yankum ropes! You must have been watching Matt's Offroad Recovery (which KZbin suggested to me once I started watching your channel). Both of you are the best in the business. Very cool to see a heavy duty application for kinetic energy ropes.

[@randyholcomb8076]

Ron, you are an incredible tow truck operator. I enjoy watching you As for Yankum, I am slowly building up the Yankum supplies for my pickup truck and my wife's Pickup truck For what we help with where we are (we are not professionals) this method is a bigger option for us. Thank you Ron

Wow it's awesome to see someone that dims their lights at night. I know it's a huge topic of debate but as someone that drives a lot it's much appreciated.

Ron, have a look at Matt's Offroad Recovery channel if you want to see some good examples of using the yankum ropes. He is a big fan of them and they work very well for him.

[@dmcpeck]

He got my former truck off a mountain top cliff, but not with yankum ropes, brains, know how, and team work mostly. Something I've you use all the time. Matt has learned just how much yankum he needs to use. Not use what application you will have but you video all your recovers I'm sure.

[@adammealey6721]

@@dmcpeck that was your gold GMC ?? That had to have been a scary ride 😳

[@deernutOO]

Matt's offroad vids are pretty impressive. One bit of information Matt offered was to not let the rope get caught under a tire.. abrasion weakens the yankum rope .

[@dreamweaver562]

Matt is a dealer and is sponsored.

Yankum rope... Sounds like someone might've been watching some of Matt's Off Road Recovery :D

[@brettreidmiller7773]

Just wanted to say that I liked your comment re: Ethan's hat, because I cringed when I first saw it.... Not because of the name on it or the party that it represents, but because of the comments that I can only imagine would be coming your (and more unfortunately your son's) way. I'm not a huge fan of Trump, and I'm an atheist, but the first day that I watched one of your videos, I loved how you were unapologetic about your own faith, but also entirely understanding and equally welcoming of those with different beliefs. Show up when called or needed, execute the mission in the best, smartest, most effective, and--most importantly--safest way possible, regardless of any characteristic that another may or may not have.... If your approach to your business and your family and life in general isn't the epitome of the American way, then I don't know what is, Ron!

[@RonPratt]

Your comment means a great deal to me and I appreciate it more than you know. I get a lot of haters on here and the hat certainly has brought more to the table. It is what it is. I am not a judgmental person, at least I don't think I am. I respect all and know that I do not hold the only opinions about politics, religion and such. When I begin to doubt things, comments such as yours bring me a bit of hope that not all get offended and not all judge. Again thank you and I wish you well.

[@dalebrooks7205]

Your very courteous expression of your faith and the “family friendly” narrating of what you do is the main reason I subscribed. I’m a tanker yanker with no desire to be a wrecker operator (way too old and way to lazy 😊), but I find it an interesting part of trucking.

[@davidg1271]

Ever since you got the Q siren you’ve never have done code 3 response videos anymore :( if you could, could you bring some of those videos back? :) please and thank you sir! Stay safe out there!

[@alexclarke1635]

I love the the code 3 videos.

[@Ricochet845]

as a fireman and a tow truck driver on the side, I whole heartedly agree. I need that Q!! I saw that in the one video and was giggling like a 2 year old child WISHING I could put that on my tow truck.

[@aneirins7085]

If I had to guess I think the reason you don't see many code 3's is because usually that's when people are hurt and they need help fast. Ron never posts videos where there are major injuries or fatalities. So it's a good thing we haven't seen many code 3's lately but I do wish we could hear the Q siren too.

[@kappajohns5416]

Most likely not his decision. Every agency has their own rules or boundaries, sometimes they don't want to have something uploaded or a customer might not want it uploaded.

[@davidwooden4175]

He can only run code when dispatched by LEO/Emergency response. If he does run code and there was a fatality as a result of the incident we will never see any part of that video.

Interesting to see another way (other than Mat's Off Road Recovery!) of using one of those ropes. Another useful tool for you, Ron!

[@BerraLJ]

Hope the driver will be ok, job was not to bad it seems, he got the truck out quickly enough with just some light pulling, great work as always.

[@bobflinn7529]

The Yankum ropes are most useful when your tow vehicle is smaller or on sand or ice. They use the momentum of the tow vehicle to get transferred to the stuck vehicle, often in excess of what the tow vehicle's power or traction could produce. With your Rotator and other large tow trucks it might not be useful, but in smaller tow units it could be a good tool to have!

[@harrisjessop1679]

I have been watching another guy who uses the Yankum Rope for everything, those things are great! I personally bought one and have it in my trunk because you never know when you will need the help or help someone else.

Lovely job Ron I am so pleased that it wasn't much worse which it could have been and I hope the driver recovers quickly . That yankum rope seemed to help immensely spped up the process , I wonder wether it wouldn't be an idea to have a short piece of chain to put around axles as I don't know wether the d ring will put a strain on the end shackled around the axle. God bless and safe roads

[@kennetharcherjr1973]

Excellent video, as always! It was well worth the wait. I was a little concerned about the picture quality, but I figured that it was due to the glare of the sun, especially when you arrived on scene and it cleared up. Great candidate to test its worth. The Yankum rope made for a quick recovery. Stay safe out there, brother!

When I read that I started thinking... maybe Ron could leave the driving section in, and just put up a text block "Jump to mm:ss to skip the en-route drive" (where mm:ss is the minutes and seconds mark of when he arrives). Yes the video would be longer, but there are people (like me) in other parts of the country would like to see what MO looks like!

[@millwrightdad3753]

Yankum ropes are so nice. They are 100% nicer on a rig then cable or chain when pulling someone out. Basically like a big rubber band. You get the speed up and when you no longer are moving, all that kinetic energy you just caused now travels through the line and whips out the stuck vehicle. I have 3 of them. One of my side by side, my diesel I use for work and one in my 5th wheel just in case
