[@717Lucero]

That sweet sound of that Jake brake. Keep the videos coming. Nice job of getting that truck out of the ditch.

[@rbaker1423]

Great first video. Really looking forward to many more.

[@openstationloggingkevinbak4625]

I worked for a town for 23 yrs good job guys getting him out. Some times it doesnt take much to get into truck trap tough job the plow guys do trying to keep people safe so they can go to work get there kids from school and what ever

[@wysetech2000]

Well done. Off to a great start and no thumbs down.

[@robmorris3710]

Thanks for the video, your truck sounds sweet

[@allynmaclarenjr348]

Eric got you into this thats cool I've always enjoyed watching Heavy wrecker towing

[@rcchar]

Great First Video. Look forward to more.

[@kevinwoodcock7578]

Great first video... Lookin forward to more.

[@baxrok2.]

Nice work. Looks like lots can go wrong but you guys did it right. Thanks!

[@kenstaniforth7060]

Finally ,been waiting for this since you and Eric towed the milk truck.I told him after that to keep buggin you to start a channel.Keep them comming.Reality compared to Hiway thru Hell.

[@aengmax]

I was sent by Eric's channel.. Great video. You showed that an experienced tow driver can always figured out a way to get the job done right. Yes, this was an easy one but you knew what to do right away. Thumbs Up!!! Oh, you forgot to use brake cleaner... :) :)

[@j.c.smithprojects]

i am so glad eric o talked you into doing videos. cant wait to see more.

[@SledgeHammer43]

Upper NY is Beautiful. I miss it from the old truck driving days.

[@wyattoneable]

So Eric talked you into it! Great to see you on KZbin. Nice recovery guys, I'll be back.

[@mechanicmike1236]

very good video, will definitely be watching your channel

[@arthurfricchione8119]

Good video. Enjoy the change keep them coming

[@JMassengill]

Nice first effort. Well done

[@ericcorse]

Great video and I look forward to more.

[@colinmckendrick9803]

Good old N14, unbeatable sound and performance

[@jamesvanscoy7717]

Love that jake brake sound

[@johnsamuelson3234]

BOOM! Great video!👍🏻

[@normhowes2975]

Being from the Syracuse NY area had never heard of your town so had to look it up. Nice rig. Job well done.

[@TheCowgirlNiamh]

Welcome to KZbin. Great first video Mr O

[@TheForcedinductn]

Awesome video!

[@rc3140]

Sweet deal. You make it look easy,thanks for sharing cheers 🍻.

[@AP9311]

great job, Mr. O. subbed from your brother's, Eric O. he mentioned that you got KZbin up. So watched it. great first video! welcome Mr. O!!!

[@esmith836]

That plow guy put that truck right in the cabbage! very cool video!

[@Mass_hole508]

1:38 There is nothing better than a jake with straight pipes! 🎵 to my 👂's!

[@SmittySmithsonite]

Glad I subbed - I actually got the notification this was up. Nice one Doug! Sweet view up there too.

[@ACAK2353]

I think seeing the city guys help, is probably the most work I've ever seen city workers do

[@grumpysgarage4790]

Good video. Your brother pulled you in, no going back now!!!!

[@stevenakn1]

cool I'll watch in a bit when I'm home. thanks for posting 👍👍

[@eastpantherbenz]

Cool first video!

[@FourSeasonsNorth4x4]

This is great! So my suspicion was confirmed..you is Eric O’s Brodder. Keep the videos coming when you can and it’s safe to do so. I watch towing programs up here in Canada and there seems to be quite a bit to video these scenes so kudos for doing that...so long as safety isn’t compromised. I look forward seeing more whatever the content. Your countryside there looks great so that in itself will be great to see. Let us know what equipment you are using..wrecker deck, tractor/truck etc. If you have a bit of the talent for videos Eric does, they will be great for sure. 👍 New subscriber here. 👍 👊👋👋 Welcome to the u-tube gang.

[@g.r.4853]

At first that looked like Glenn Haven Road east of New Hope (on SR41A) looking over Skaneateles Lake. But Avoca is near Hammondsport or off I-390 therefore likely Keuka Lake and about 1:08 there is the bluff in the lake confirming it. Nice job for the town.

[@Tedybear315]

Nicely done. Used to live in Bath, NY. I miss the area a lot sometimes... Not so much in the winter LOL.

[@mrbakerskatz]

Now that is what I want to see ,Is that all you got . Great job . I ran a county snowplow for 14+ years . So I've been there .

[@mfgc2610]

Sure miss that NY snow... Just kidding!!! Good job guys!

[@Lawdagreat]

I bet it sure makes someone in trouble feel alot better, knowing help is on the way when you hear them engine brakes barking thru them hills.... Beautiful country up there btw

[@68elky]

cool first vid, keep em coming

[@PineHollowAutoDiagnostics]

Great video, Doug! Do you think Eric O's Tundra could have yanked him out in 4LO? :)

[@trevorobrochta2965]

motoYam82 no

[@Mass_hole508]

I may be wrong but any wrecker/flatbed i drove you weren't supposed to raise the RPM above 1200-1500 1700 tops. I understand why they're doing it. To speed up the hydraulics and make it pull faster. The problem is when you have the RPM too high it causes the cable to wrap the drum awkwardly. It leaves the cable doubled up and knotted. Any thoughts?

[@Pastshelfdate]

Hi, Daryl! We're at Hack RVA, right now. Your video is really crisp. I get there was a police car keeping everyone that far back. And I know pixel density would have gone to the 24-bit era, if you'd tried to zoom in on the action.

[@noahmiller881]

What did you call that when you said it can adjust load to one side

[@jimmoravec7448]

Just wondering why so far ahead ? I have done hundreds of ditch recovery’s. What I’m getting at is control if you were closer and angled your truck you would have more control especially if it would want to start tipping. I’m not criticizing just curious Thanks

[@Paul1958R]

Great video. Thank you to all 'sons of Sonny'. Paul

[@LoneWolfSnowplowing]

that sucks, good job, good video

[@mike4food]

Great 1st video and I look forward to the many more that will follow. One question. When you have to tow these guys out is it a flat rate or per mile you have to drive there and back or by the hour. I have always wondered for HD wreaking how they charge

[@sonnysserviceofavoca390]

mike4food by the hour, plus 2.50 per mile if it's over 30 miles

[@JOHNPHUFNAGEL]

Great video Doug

[@billmckelvey602]

Great job guys

[@robertmintz63]

You are to far away from the plow truck , just towing it up the ditch , you could have picked his whole front end onto the road ! One time the plow truck I was part of slid sideways of the iced road, 3ft drop ,the truck frame sat on the edge quite leaned over . I walked a few hundred yds to the highway , got a ride back to our shop & got the JD 544 A & a bucket of sand , came back , spread the sand on the road , hooked a chain on the low side picked the truck front end up set it over , it would slide back so we re-sand , 3rd time stayed , so set it further until we had it about 45* angle on the road , then pulled it on out

[@Eastahtata]

Great video but you left the spoiler in the description! Gotta hype it up and add some suspense haha.

[@dylankinch2735]

Awesome video. Have u ever had a line snap. Looks like it could take someone's head off for sure

[@stevenakn1]

hell yeah pulled him right out. at first I was thinking why the hell did he park so far away haha now I get it.

[@sonnysserviceofavoca390]

Steven Akn1 I tried to be close enough to do what I have to do. but far enough away that you never have to reposition the tow truck. because if you reposition that means you have to unhook. and you never want to unhook halfway through your pull

[@StevesAutoNtrucks]

say that truck needed towed, do you have to remove the plow, or tow from the rear? looking foward to more videos.. from Pittsburgh Pennsylvania here.

[@sonnysserviceofavoca390]

Steve's Auto OSTROGOTH remove the plow I can only tow them backwards if they are empty

[@trevorfillmore698]

I can't believe he never bent his wing arms. Pushing back and shelving is when it gets us but he had that pretty before he came up it. I plow country roads as well and I set my wing out farther than most guys for this reason i can keep the truck that extra 14 inches away. That being said buddy has a hard road steep narrow and high crown no fun.

[@Danny350v8]

South Main Auto Repair your brother ???

[@sonnysserviceofavoca390]

chevy camaro yes

[@trentwheeler6161]

Very cool! I've been a truck mechanic for years and enjoy his automotive videos. I don't happen to do much when it comes to automotive. very likeable guy.

[@SuperM1687]

I've heard of the horror stories of those cables snapping and taking out everything in its path. The incline doesnt help that....

[@shannoncranmer579]

Hi I live in Big Flats NY what lake is that

[@sonnysserviceofavoca390]

Shannon Cranmer Keuka

[@davidcharles1731]

By the way. Where were you guys at? I'm trying to find it on google maps,cause I like to get a look at the area and see what its like.

[@mikegoodman4133]

Do cables ever snap when winching?

[@sonnysserviceofavoca390]

Mike Goodman yes they do, it gets your attention when they do

[@johnnyringo4463]

DOT on your ass to get the road open, freezing cold out, every pull is a life and death situation, fighting other tow companies... oh wait I was thinking of the Coquihalla. lol. Good first vid man.

[@SouthMainAuto]

Haha lmao The Coquihalla

[@jacmccauley7581]

Good first video. Who is the other voice in the video besides Doug?

[@sonnysserviceofavoca390]

Jac McCauley that would be wayne

[@robiscrupe7694]

both brothers on the tube now we will get great vids from both of you you tow them to eric's shop and he'll fix them for you just sit back and watch eric have all the pain of fixing them for you need to see a video on that that sure get you laughs and a lot of subs for sure thanks and keep going your the best

[@stoneblue1795]

beautiful area.

[@SledgeHammer43]

That house at the stop sign I looked at this summer about buying but was to small, and the stairs were to steep.

[@shadowrayz]

Cheers, Sonny! Subbed you...

[@davidcharles1731]

Beautiful country. I'm like a lot of people who tend to forget theres more to new york, than, new york city. I'm also one of those people who all they now about pulling a vehicle out is hooking a chain to it and go. lot more to it than that.

[@ront8261]

I'm in NY also, not NYC, and always remind people I talk to for work from other parts of the country "their's more to NY than NYC!!"; Central NY where they are and the Adirondacks are beautiful country!!

[@mrg74]

Been there done that. Nature of the beast.

[@samgarofalo2461]

Sonny’s service of Avoca and I’m watching this in Avoca Pa.

[@kevingray7917]

Your camera guy is in the wrong place. Those cables snap and he's dead. Always get everyone behind the unit or on the other side of the towing unit. That's crazy guys.

[@asmironwall]

Good job for the first one. I will come allot more natural as time goes on. Look at Eric's videos, when he first started compared to know.

[@christianerance]

You may need a helmet cam (with a wide angle lens) for the future. Free up your hands for some of the scenes.

[@jayball4531]

DOUG YOU SAID YOUR LEARNING. WORD OF ADVICE. PARK CLOSER TO THE TRUCK YOUR PULLING. ONLY NEED TOBE THE DISTANCE IT WOULD TAKE THE TRUCK TO BE BACK ON THE ROAD . YOUR GO THE JOB DONE BUT WOULD OF BEEN FASTER . PARKED LEFT OF THE ROAD AND CLOSED.

[@masterofeverything6468]

Thank you again for starting a youtube channel... LOVE the JAKE!!!! Is there a winching brake on the wrecker???

[@sonnysserviceofavoca390]

MASTER OF EVERYTHING they a 25 ton hydraulic planetary winches with an air switch for free spool, and an air tension plate to keep the cable spooled correctly while reeling it in

[@masterofeverything6468]

seemed to make short work of that situation

[@mikedayitt]

yea ya thunk they would put betta compact gravel on side utterwise ya all got this sitiation.but hey we all gotta make a buck now your in competition with your brother.

[@opl500]

The snowplow skidded into the ditch? lol.

[@davenay1645]

Cool video mr other O

[@wantsanewvehicle]

I don't know how this even happened, why was he anywhere near that close to the side of the road? He has a side plow on that truck, this is exactly what it is for lol.

[@fivehigh4718]

Probably in a daze looking at the view, or saw a deer off in the distance lol

[@HoboJoeGarage]

Up by my favorite place Bully Hill

[@kenberscheit480]

I dont know what it is about peterbilt drivers , but they have to have that jake on no matter what they do . sounds like shit after a high idle pull , its a safety device not a play toy!!!!

[@pi1797]

Nice sounding Jake. Did they say More business for you? I might have said Yup since you snow plowers can’t drive... 😂😂😂

[@MWestern-m4g]

Where's Eric? Where's Eric? Where's Eric? Where's Eric? Where's Eric? Just like old times, where's your brother?? I'd don't know.and I didn't lose him! lol

[@mmiller1188]

0:54 ... that's not an edge you want to fall over

[@stanleywilliams8152]

Dam he was grinding gears.. green horn

[@wranther]

If you aint sliding into those ditches, then ya'll just aint plowing the roads!!

[@vincentrolfe1384]

You are not far from Eric O.

[@pyro323]

Two youtubers in Avoca? What?

[@edwardjonez6615]

LOOKS LIKE BULLY HILL.

[@canadaeast]

Unnecessary Jake brake use.

[@steves5346]

eric sent me

[@DynoDieselWagon]

Non drivers Unite!

[@deanlabbe9952]

If you pulled him out backwards it would have so much eaiser. You probably could have yanked him out in neutral.

[@trentwheeler6161]

Dean Labbe negative. both plow blades would have dug into and anchored into the hill.

[@CALVINLNIKONT]

You use your Jake brake too much. Which is cheaper: brakes or a new motor? calnikont.com/transportation.html

[@kensmith3098]

fake fake fake

[@sonnysserviceofavoca390]

Ken Smith fake what????

[@trentwheeler6161]

lol the winch noises on highway through hell are fake!
