[@ifradtarvez578]

Who else loves Ron Pratt?

[@margaretmcnear3007]

Me! I watch a lot of his videos.

[@llyodreeves4657]

@@ifradtarvez578 I do love watching Ron

[@MRHSDM316SD18186]

This shows how long I have been watching your channel Ron. When I first started watching your channel; Ethan was in the 4th or 5th grade. Now he's a successful tow operator.

[@paulalaporte195]

“Can’t get the trunk open to shut the horn”. “ Well it’ll die eventually” ( Ron takes wires snap!) “ No more horn” 😂😂😂

[@joshw1687]

I do love Ron's answer though. "It'll die eventually" 😂

[@kevinmccarthy1076]

I just watched a video at Rainmain Ray's Repairs and he said don't tell Ron Pratt what I just did to move a vehicle! Everyone loves Ron Pratt

[@GReaper]

LOL. Saw that one too. Caught me off guard for a second.

[@PeterT5]

which video is that on?

[@davidesmond1955]

You bring alive the regular ''boring'' work and turn it into excellent entertainment Ron, thank you.

[@MemphisPlayzGorillaTag]

Been here since i was 5 and im 12 now 6 years dude and you're Still my favorite tow truck driver

[@markroberts8236]

Crazy that a five-year-old is watching KZbin videos. It’s even crazier that his parents let him.

Car Vs. Utility Pole, “It Will Die Eventually” - Ron Pratt. That, Line Is Legendary!!!

[@TheGraduateApple]

Great work Ron! Also handy tip for ford vehicles: what happened with that one was the post-crash SOS system engaged which made the horn honk in that sequence on a loop. You can actually turn it off 3 ways, one way is by battery disconnecting which the cop was trying but could not due to the jammed hood, another way is by pressing the hazard switch on and off, and the final way is by cycling the ignition switch. Hope that helps!

[@georgemalley6414]

I was in Flagstaff Arizona at a Chase Bank. A woman driving a Brand New Dually Black Pickup was talking on her cellphone not paying attention, and at about 25 mph ran straight into a cement round barrier light pole. She hit so hard that the back end of the pickup lifted into the air. Cell phones and stupid people don't mix.

[@-ray-h]

2 Nice jobs that pays the bills... Easy, and SAFE on the highways... Love these jobs... Don't understand how someone can hit a telly pole on a road when there is hardly any traffic unless they fell asleep or were on their cell phone not paying attention... But it happens and thankfully nobody was hurt. That is a sweet excavator...! $83K new... Love the 2 for 1 Ron... Thanks!

[@deathk26]

Other than the typical distracted driver thing, it could be someone ran them off the road or they were trying to avoid hitting an animal.

[@hamshackleton]

Looking at the skid-marks on the way in, they were playing silly sods, and 'lost it'.

[@paulprigge1209]

We call it distractive Driving United States it happens so so often. Happening more all the time people are not paying attention. Woolgathering

[@hunterstudios29]

Hey, Ron Pratt, I'm pretty sure for Ford's that have the "Post Collison Alert System", (The horn honking and Hazard lights flashing). I think that all you need to do is turn the Hazard lights off by pressing the button. So, you dont have to cut anymore wires. Lmao! The info below is from Ford themself's. POST-CRASH ALERT SYSTEM  The system flashes the turn signal lamps and sounds the horn (intermittently) in the event of a serious impact that deploys an airbag (front, side, side curtain or Safety Canopy) or the seatbelt pretensioners. The horn and lamps will turn off when: The hazard control button is pressed The panic button (if equipped) is pressed on the remote entry transmitter Your vehicle runs out of power

[@888johnmac]

hitting a utility pole on a dead straight bit of road ?? .... must have been a fan on a mission to rid Ron of his ' arc nemesis ' .. lol

[@dirtfarmer7472]

It’s always nice to have an easy 1 once in awhile in comparison to something like getting a combine out of the field and loaded. And these pay the bills. Thank you Sir

[@robt2151]

Stolen excavator now has Ethan's prints on it.

[@donnyrandolph9614]

I'm retired wrecker driver of 25 years they only fingerprint for rapes and murders not a stolen piece of equipment and also if that's a rental mini it could have hundreds of partial prints!!

[@procarrytrucker4101]

😂

[@amyh226]

😂

[@llyodreeves4657]

Keep up with the good work Ron love watching you on KZbin God bless

[@hamshackleton]

This can't be a Ron vid, no overhead powerlines, no up to the knees in swamp, no rain or snow! 🙂

[@NoMoFlts]

He edited those parts out.

[@13thcolony57]

And not a CLASSIC PRATT FALL.

[@gorillaau]

​@@NoMoFltsIt's amazing what a good editing suite can do these days.

[@nerdgarage]

That thumb makes the machine a "Bounty" machine ... a "quicker picker upper". =)

[@Bogieking78]

That excavator was really nice. Sure could've used that when I owned a home out in the boonies. Even had a radio. Nice.

[@kens.3729]

Nice Flat Bed Tow of the Vehicle and also Recovery of the Stolen Excavator. 👍

[@m9ovich785]

That Mini-X just sitting out in the open ??? Something doesn't add up HAHAHAHA..

[@Miknunley3]

Love. Those speedbindrers. Got a set 4 years ago

[@danimal0921]

That poor little car is trying to send out an S.O.S. and doesn't remember that it's 3 long, 3 short, 3 long...

[@polarlicht4758]

i think its just honking to draw attention just in case the occupants are unconscious after it detected a crash and triggered its safety features.

[@yatespeterm]

Close! .. 3 short, 3 long, 3 short: . . . - - - . . .

[@edewaal97]

I want to correct you there: it's 3 short, 3 long, 3 short ;-)

[@udorechner6846]

But why the heck is nobody turns off that nervwrecking honking?

[@nerdgarage]

S.O.S. is 3 short 3 long 3 short.

[@sovereignmb]

Ron, you are kind, patient, and seem to always spread positivity. You make a great role model.

[@brianmckenna3440]

Another great video Ron mate 2 for 1 always better stay safe

[@getzybreuer3691]

Thank you so much for the video please post more videos a week and god bless

[@carolmimiwienecke7634]

3 toots on the horn means it's backing up lol. Great video

[@MartyMurphy-g2w]

Ron, brother, I want to first off say that you are doing a top notch job with your towing service. However, I have to fault you on one thing. When you went to pick up the excavator, you didn't honk three times before backing into the alley. As a tow truck driver myself I always make it a point to honk my horn three times before I commence to backing up. I do this in order to insure that people know I am about to back up and thereby get out of the way. Sometimes in those big trucks, there's not much line of sight. Hope this helps in your future endeavors.

[@JohnWilson-ql8ks]

Have watched every one of your video's and your still no. 1 in my book, You are what people should strive to be.. God bless you and your entire crew.

[@CiroVilla]

I have been a subscriber of Mr. Pratt's channel for a good while and have watched many of his video. I admire the professionalism of this gentlemen and his ability to chronicle his working activities. Job well done!

[@diegovd7215]

Ron's way is the Right way to do things. Thanks for showing us how! ;)

[@Greg8872]

it is like a computer that won't boot, the number of beeps tells you the error code.... LOL

[@gapcityracing6086]

Man I wish I had a remote to tow with would make life so much easier

[@Samanthareneeheart1]

Nice easy 2 jobs, that's what pay the bills as you said.

[@gumulf]

That first car sitting in a phone queue, waiting for someone to answer it's call for help.

[@geraldsmith5690]

Good job Ron, you’re a good teacher am glad you know your business. Be safe young man

[@SteveNicoson-u1i]

Thanks for another great video Ron. It was interesting and enjoyable to watch. Nice load of that machine. Drove right up on the bed of your truck. Tie it down and all done. Nice work Ron and Ethan. Thanks Ron.

[@seanbeaudoin2086]

You and your crew are the best Ron be safe and God bless

[@douglasburford8452]

Those speed winders are great. I adapted a slack adjuster to my engine stand which makes rotation easy and can adjust to any angle.

[@131dyana]

Love the video. thanks. God bless.

[@-ray-h]

Nice tip on the reason why the weight distribution of what your towing is important when on the bed Ron... Makes since... Wouldn't want to have those front wheels up off the ground by no means...!

[@nickellingson7035]

Great job Ron. Thank you for all you do

[@arthurbiringer5676]

Another great video!

[@Dan68J]

It sounds like the car was saying help me Ron.

[@acethedriver2895]

Nice job as always Ron Pratt keep it coming.

[@BF-qt2wp]

Awesome video keep up with a great work and be safe out there.

[@victorjeffers1993]

Yes that is a very nice piece of equipment bet they cost a small fortune ! As always very professional job ! Quick recovery on the car also glad no one was hurt ! Stay Safe out there ! 👍👍

[@cindymccafferty8346]

I love Fridays With Ron!

[@chucksinsel4261]

Another great job Ron👍I always look forward to Friday's and your video. 🤩

[@Dylan-kw4ol]

Have a great weekend!

[@kevinschmidt3887]

Thank you Ron for making my long week better. Took a hurricane Monday here in south east Texas

[@bobjohnston5527]

Gotta have fun with the officers. I always enjoyed watching your videos

[@solarusthelonghaulerrailfa3226]

Hey George there’s a pole there 😉👍

[@larrymercer3448]

Great video

[@larrymercer3448]

It may would pay to get one for the shop

[@stevenclaeys6252]

Thank you for another Great video. Cheers

[@Badger-w8u]

2 on the same show , great Ron .

[@towingpesadosArgentina]

Está bueno tu tensor de cadena con la pistola neumáticos

[@kamoonrathewolfgod9189]

Ethan knows how to work a tractor like that one? Impressive. I sure would like to know more about how a stolen piece of equipment came to be in someones driveway. Maybe they bought it used without knowing it was stolen? Either way, we got two for one on this video. What a win for us.

[@randycharest4507]

I ENJOYED WATCHING both videos Ron ❤😊

[@keithbennett5519]

Amazing videos here stay safe

[@TowMan127]

Another great video. Pulled out the master key set. Things like a janitors key ring 😂

[@jaredstrehlein5605]

Thanks for the content. Wouldn't be Friday without a Midwest Truck/Ron Pratt video. I am surprised Ron didn't say "it's not my first rodeo. When he tied the excavator. Bless you

[@SteveNicoson-u1i]

Thanks for another great video Ron. It was interesting and enjoyable to watch. That car took a hard hit on that pole. You did a quick recovery on that vehicle and silenced the horn. Easy load for you. Thanks Ron. Good work.

[@sethwiedeman1799]

Ron I was surprised the owner of the car didn't get hurt plus the airbag didn't go off😮😮.

[@fastst1]

Nice having a ramp truck that's heavy enough that it doesn't matter which way the car goes, had some time on a 77 F350 with a steel jerr-dan. boy it didn't like cars loaded backwards. Equipment auctions can be a good source of decent machines, have the crew in the shop do some repairs and you can end up with a fine tool for specific jobs.

[@rodneyjeffery9726]

cool stuff

[@gigiskitties499]

Great job! My only question is why you would take the excavator to the shop instead of to the owner’s place?

[@josephcrispell7975]

Awesome just not used to see you in a flat bed truck

[@frankmartin8471]

Speed binders are so nice.

[@Alan-ln3ls]

Listening to that poor little car's horn tooting feebly, I couldn't help but think of Mr Toad with a dazed expression sitting by the road saying "Poop-poop!"

[@keithwallington4966]

hi ron good to see you gain if you need a mini excavator have chat with clifton of C&Cequipment he will have something you mite like

[@krsanth-4142]

With that ring of keys, "You could be a high school janitor, tonight" (Jeff Foxworthy)

[@gregulrey1821]

I love Peterbilt s

[@zerocool278]

Please, Please and Pretty Please can we have more content? Another Great video Thanks Ron, Hope you're all in good health.

[@johnlyons5194]

Nice little kitty cat excavator

[@thewatchmen4920]

Hey Mr RP. B SAFE

[@DeweyCheatumNHoweLLC]

We just had a local tow company move a safe that was donated to the historical society. Nice easy job, til the threshold. 😮

[@ramiroleal8902]

Ron, great job as always! Just a comment: I have never seen any equipment dirty, but this unit's flatbed needs a bath. I am sure it's because you guys have been working around the clock. Take care, Sir.

[@procarrytrucker4101]

Nice easy load and goes

[@erikwilliam1254]

If that's the excavator type I'm thinking it is, then those have a knack for taking out it's own windshield.

[@leegoldeneagle9003]

None of the poles look all that good on that road eny way nice work Ron 👍👍👍👍👍☺️

[@brucemartini2288]

horn sounded like monitor machine at Hospital

[@markdanielczyk944]

Making that "Tow money"!💪👍

[@patrickward-vs2zt]

love

[@Snoopy33333]

I noticed that the air bag didn't deploy

[@mitchcoada3480]

❤❤❤❤❤

[@wolphin732]

Makes me think of a PC's Beep Code. But in this case it's "Help needed! I've been in a crash!"

[@annahughes3677]

Pull the wires under dash .to make it stop blowing the horn...😮

[@johnillig7281]

Thanks for the video. How did that excavator wind up there to begin with? oh, well.

[@Lulnateee]

Whenever a newer ford crashes it lets out the “ford honk of death” 😅

[@TSKseattle]

You would think that once the key was turned on that emergency beacon horn would shut off, since someone obviously found the car

[@dennislamers986]

You can drop that excavator off at my place Ron. 😂

[@glennjukes5581]

Well=at least they left the keys in that one. Never understand why people want to rake the keys out even if they are hurt or teh car is totaled. Juist makes the tow man's job harder...

[@mahbriggs]

Many people keep house keys and other vehicle keys on their key chain. Besides, the habit of always taking the keys out is a very powerful one to break!

[@prairielavender]

Most of us are taught from very early years, often before we are even driving, not to leave our keys in the car. When accidents happen and we are in shock, our muscle memory does what it has been conditioned to do through years of practice: exiting car=remove keys from ignition.

[@palladini9718]

Ron, I see you know how to use chain binders, those folks out California do not know how to use them. I cringe when I see the end of the Binder being hooked to frame of the vehicle and not mid Chain, and I seen this so many times

[@jeffclark2725]

Great video, always enjoy Friday mornings

[@keithmalmberg8395]

Reasons for hitting a pole in the middle of a straight road; Intoxicated drive. Avoiding objects. Distracted driver. Only 1 can be an excusable reason... Someone hit the pole in front of my house the other weekend. He got a ride to the county B&B. It set the trees on fire, took out 50ft of fences, and 2 mail boxes... The tree just beyond the pole is what actually stopped him, not the pole...

[@throttlebottle5906]

it had a "fusion" with the pole.

[@stevelee9210]

fyi, you can turn off the emg horn with the keyfob.

[@nhtom8]

"No horn."😃

[@stephenmeeks684]

They build the poles too close to the road in MO.

[@Dan-uv5lw]

Tator VS Loader number 2. Anyone remember that video where the loader was stolen and got buried in a yard? Mike and Ron did that one.
