+Ron Pratt - your dedication of this video is truly special; you are no stranger to my opinion of you by now, but in case there was any doubt, YOU are one of those people that God places in our lives to make our lives richer and happier. I can only hope to ever visit your part of the US (as yet I am yet to venture outside the UK), and if I am lucky enough to do so, I would be delighted to look you up and shake your hand. Thank you for sharing your experiences with us all, and for the work that you do under the most adverse of conditions - and I am more than sure that your dedication will mean a vast amount to the family of the deceased friend, as I for one would class myself to be eternally lucky to be an acquaintance, let alone a friend, of yours. May God bless you in everything you do, and I pray that you are kept safe.

GOD bless Darrell and his family. Thanks Ron.

[@dunc1958]

You sir are a gentleman of the first order, I am much longer in the tooth than you are and with some of the things I've seen my faith is somewhat eroded. You go some way to restoring it though, thank you for sharing.

[@edwardmyers1746]

Darnit Darryl...... Well now you get a birds eye view of the towing action

[@jackcaldwell485]

Sorry about your friend Ron! He is better off then we are now , and he doesn't have to fight that old diease anymore, be safe out there and may God bless and watch over you ,always thank you for sharing these experiences you go thru in a day of your life

[@ryzen_gaming8381]

AMEN!

[@muleman1701]

Ron, my condolences on the loss of your friend. I have a friend like that, in that we met on KZbin and we hope to one day meet in real life and we talk often on Facebook. (need to introduce my friend to this channel). Keeping you and your friends family in my prayers. As for the video/job. I am glad it wasn't any worse. That was an awesome job you did. I also like how you can be serious yet joke with your fellow employees (the crossing of the lines/streams, I totally got that and love the movie series it referenced). Stay strong. Stay safe. May God bless and be with you as you mourn your friend.

[@ryzen_gaming8381]

AMEN God bless his friend

[@stanpatterson5033]

Very sorry to hear about the loss of Darrell. May he Rest in Peace.

[@stephendavies7767]

thoughts go out to you and Darrell's family . i saw this quote and it reminded me off your words:- " Friends are the pillars on your porch. Sometimes they hold you up, sometimes they lean on you, and sometimes its just enough to know that they are standing"

[@cooltechstuff4387]

Hey Ron I love your business and what you are doing with your videos. I am about your sons age 1 year younger than him and I hope to one day work for/with you

[@gac914]

Ron, that truck never ceases to astound and entertain!! Another great video!

[@brianbalzini2914]

gac914 the truck is awesome yes, but it’s the operator that makes it look good lol!

[@johnschwarz6564]

Amen God bless and yes God does place people in our lives for a reason

[@jimsvideos7201]

I'm sorry to hear about your friend passing; there is no good circumstances for it. I guess a little bit of him gets to go around with you now.

[@royalcronin2403]

sad

[@CubasAutomotive]

My condolences for your loss sir. To his family as well. Nice tribute & some heart felt words... well made video.

[@mikehaas6678]

Ron I am so sorry for you and your friends family you are right your friend has no pain no worrys and he will meet you and all of us one gloryious day amen

[@Penster-Elle]

You don't need to have a person by your side for their warmth, love and character to leave a mark on your life. Your friend Darrell will have passed through those gates smiling as his pain ceased, and knowing that he made a difference to you. And I'm pretty sure a place has been reserved for you with a wee marker on it that says "Not yet awhile". Ron, with every video you post I have felt a share of your warmth, your humility, your compassion and your love for your fellow travelers on this journey we call life. That right there has earned you your place in the Kingdom of Heaven. Tonight I'll add Darrell to my prayers, and a word or two for you in your grief. God Bless you and yours Ron. With love from Scotland.

[@BUFORDMAPPING]

I do farm work myself with golden day farm equip. and seeing a tractor tipped over can be teeth grinding.... Especially with the old gals like that IH, They are hard to replace with all this new equipment.

[@jamesbrothers9626]

Thanks for shareing Ron & prayers to Darrels family

[@VampFaye]

Thank you for showing us this one, and sorry about your friend. My 80+ yr old uncle flipped tractor much like this, but without the full cab, onto him himself several years ago. He was pinned with his arm against the manifold, for almost 2 hours, due to the remote location and inability to get heavy rescue equipment up their steep, mountainside driveway. Eventually, between airbags and a small tow truck, they were able to get him out. He was hospitalized for several weeks with 3rd degree burns on his arm, among other injuries. I kept thinking about how lucky the farmer was that he escaped relatively unscathed. Realizing how massive an extracation that my uncle's case was made, by watching this, made me thankful.

[@rebelregan7487]

Prayers for you and your friends family.

[@hardies1]

I am so sorry about the loss of your friend Ron. I consider you a good friend and always enjoy riding with you in that big ol' truck via this KZbin channel. Keep your chin up and keep lifting people up as well. God Bless.

[@mrmadmike427]

Sorry to hear about your Friend Ron , you should see if you could make arrangements to carry his casket on the Rotator ... would fulfill his request to ride on her ... I know it sounds extreme but your Ron Pratt ...God Bless ...

[@umajunkcollector]

Derrill was riding a top the boom!

[@Sam16034]

Or mabye a roll back. Rotaters tend to stay near home.

[@brandonhalcyon6984]

Ya roll back. He’s up in PA

[@BenWoJoh]

Dear Mr. Pratt. Thank you for the time with you and your colleague at work. So sad to hear about your friend Darrell who lost his battle against cancer. May your friend Darrell be with GOD and Lord Jesus Christ free from all pain and suffering. R.I.P Mr. Darrell. Mr. Pratt, take good care of you and your family and staff. GOD Bless You All. Sincerely Yours, Bengt "Wolf" Johansson.

[@gayleharrelson579]

sorry you lost a good friend & he will always be in your heart & be looking out for you on the road take care god bless you Ron.

[@vetterfellow]

God Bless Darrell, Rest In Peace !!!. Ron that was a bit scary, reminded me of The Honeymooners episode when Ralph, ( Jackie Gleeson ) steps out of character and speaks to his viewers. This video started as a Sad video with a happy ending !!!. Thanks Ron fer taking us along Bud.... God Bless...

[@motercycles6]

I am so sorry about your friend ron cancer really sucks i have lost two family members to cancer and i consider you a friend ron

[@johnnytesterink6944]

Hi Ron my Grandfather passed away back in 2012 because of Cancer, and because of him I dont think I would be half the man Iam today. Darrell may he rest in peace and save us all a spot up there in Heaven.

[@GM8101PHX]

Johnny You can reserve your own spot in heaven by simply asking Jesus to become your Lord and Savior, admit you are a sinner as we all are, and ask Jesus to forgive of you of your sins!! Very simple but it must come from the heart. Then find a church that preaches directly from the Holy Bible!!! This goes for anyone that reads this message!!!

[@ironbow123]

So wonderful you had known Darrell for the time you did and him knowing you! Yes God does work in many powerful ways even though we don't see it all the time or feel Him there He is always there, God Bless you Ron!

[@craigschofield64]

Ron, I think I have watched everyone of your videos and something kind of struck me in today's video while watching you setup for the lift. It usally takes much longer to get ready to lift than actually doing the lift, I know you were teaching how to setup and crib the truck properly in this video which teaching always takes a bit longer, but it is true the devil is in the small details to do a safe and successful lift. I also was thinking while watching the video about your request you made to your friend Darrell about saving you a place. After watching all of your video and seeing how you treat the people around you and how care about others, I am sure you have already earned your place.☺

[@wandalbowen8101]

It isn't earned, it's a free gift to those who believe in Jesus' shed blood and have daily communion with God through faith in His forgiveness

[@excavatoree]

So what you're saying, Ron, is "Tractor tippin's fun!"

[@gorillaau]

excavatoree Is tractor tipping anything like Dwarf Tossing?

[@anthonyrobertson1787]

Im, Sorry 😔 to hear about Your Friend Ron, but nice video thank you. 🕯🙏🕯 Rip Darrell you will be missed

[@baconbacon332]

Hi Ron love your videos thank you for uploading your videos

[@MrGuvEuroman]

Never done this, came VERY close 15ft up in the air on a silage pit, when you are young you are fearless. God bless Ron, from Cumbris in the uk. 🙏

[@IICLUII]

Good video Ron. You're an inspiration to myself and many others. God bless you and your family for your dedication to a clean wholesome channel in a world when everyone is glutton for more chaos. R.I.P. Darrell.

[@theshaddowaust]

Ron, great video. Yes a bit of a sad side but it is good to get it out. On a funny side Mater loves to dance in that truck, it was funny to watch the end.

[@2xtimeshotit]

Love you videos Ron Pratt and I feel your pain I lost my little sister to cancer. Take care Ron and god bless you and family

[@malcolmbarrett8966]

Ron friends will come and friends will go but with Gods help there memories will live forever God has blessed Darrell's family with his life you have blessed them with your friendship and he has blessed you with having a friend that has given you strength to go on in your day's to come just with words of encouragement as I lost my farther at only 2 weeks old mum had to tell me about him then in my teens I had a new dad and I loved him very much until that C took him but my new Farther is with me always as he is with you he is the best friend as he walk's through life with every one that know's him .God bless all that do.

[@kelvingaspero1822]

Ron so sorry to hear about your good online mate Darryl, Remember the great friendship you have made online with him and remember he is no longer in pain that the cancer brings with it. He is with God now and at peace from the hurt. Please pass on my condolences to his family if you know how to. Your mate from downunder Kelvin. Cheers and God Bless...

[@tractor180350]

So sad to hear about your friend Ron, you did him proud with what you said, now he is sitting with God he won`t be hurting anymore. Another great video thanks for showing what you do best, God bless and stay safe.

[@jamescapozzi9749]

Another great video Mr Ron 😎 Keep up the good works !!

[@rodneypurdy8203]

That's very nice of u to do that for your friend. Rest in peace daryl

[@jenniferwhitewolf3784]

Very nice eulogy. My friend Andy also recently lost his life to cancer, in his case a brain tumor. This is why it is SO important to keep the ROPS up any tractor, if it is a folding type. This fellow did OK being protected by the roll bar. Without the ROPS, he may have been injured far worse or killed. In my childhood, long before tractors had ROPS, I knew a fellow that was killed in a simple roll over.

[@veulmet]

he likely got hurt from the wheel jerking in the wreck and yes the roll over systems are key to coming out alive,

[@animenut69]

Had a guy in the area a few years back die when he rolled his cat and was crushed. Think he was using an old model cat trackloader

[@DIXIEDEW123]

Whats ROPS? I was'nt raised around tractors, although I did enjoy riding on em when I was a kid with my grand-daddy. Great memories. :)

[@RonPratt]

ROPS is an acronym for Roll Over Protection System. One that you may be familiar with, but may not even realize what it is would be the large folding tube on the back of most zero-turn mowers. They are designed to help reduce/prevent injuries or entrapments in the event of a rollover.

[@Toggymok]

RIP Darrell. We all will be missed by family and friends one day. Through the years, I've lost my 2 sisters, my dad - and Mum went last August - just her time - she was 79. Ripped my heart out seeing her go - but it's better than watching her suffer. I only have my brother left. Life is short. Ron - that was a beautiful tribute. God Bless You, Your family, and your subscribers.

[@mtb0519]

God bless the poor sole cancer is such a horrible thing the sooner we get rid the vile thing the better.

[@dejanira2]

Beautiful eulogy! A very nice recovery of the tractor.

[@kiho1995]

Keep that shotgun seat free cos i reckon Darryl will be riding with you more than once over the coming years.

[@bradianshowtofixit2518]

Sorry to here that your friend lost his battle to cancer I know how it fells to lose someone close to you I lost my aunt to cancer all of my heart and prayers go out to your friends family and I like your videos and make sure you stay safe and don’t get hurt

[@abuubaydullah1]

The only thing we can guarantee Ron Pratt in our lifes, is we will pass away, we don't know when which is the thing, like my wife passed at the age of 23 and it shattered my life, there is a saying time heals and there is not a day go's by that i don't remember her,i feel for the family along with many others.

[@brianvanderwaart5888]

Amazing speech!

My condolences towards daryl Family at this time and for you Ron may all you days be happy and your problems be match box size and feather light for you and yours for ever more . God bless Ron ...

[@alexushighfield9109]

Ron we all NEED TO TRUST, PEOPLE and NEW FRIENDS waiting in the Wings that we haven't met yet...THERE IS A REASON FOR PEOPLE TO COME INTO OUR LIFES...THEY ARE GODS ANGELS SENT TO US....GOD BLESS AND KEEP YOU SAFE

[@leo65281]

See you have some FLEX VOLT batteries in your truck- I think there the best thing to come along so far in the cordless tool so far

[@danielmintmiersr5088]

Ron, thanks for a very moving 2nd intro. I'm sure that had to be tough. I drove truck and only had to get pulled out of the ditch 1 time in 18 years. I enjoy seeing your videos so much I check daily for them. Thanks. And remember, May God bless YOU and keep YOU safe.

[@G2GRATSALAD]

My condolences and thoughts are with you and more importantly with his family and friends. :( Re the job, seems like Lightning McQueen been scaring those tractors again... Defiantly a job for Tow Mater... Great video. :D

[@brandoncaldwell95]

My neighbor, parents, friends and i know the cancer things all to well. My grandma, mother, aunt and i all have had different forms. Ovarian, skin, intestional, breast, and ive had bone. My neighbor had luekmia. Tough stuff you wish onto noone not even enemies. Rollbars save lifes with equipment. I hate seeing my neighbor have his in haul/storage mode hinged backwards. Especially when he operates it. I know others do it too and i cant stomach if after a few scares of a rollover myself. The farmer is lucky. Ill take a broken arm over anything else that could have happened with an accident in a 7,000+lbs machine.

[@triplextreme2]

My Mother passed away from Cancer in 2015, sad we still don't have a 100% cure. My thoughts are with Darrell's family and friend's. Thanks as always for sharing.

[@amazingpandx4809]

im so sorry about your friend he must of been a caring friend. i lost my mom to breast cancer 2 years on April 1st 2016. it will get better soon. ill all always watch your videos.

[@edwardsimpson1164]

You my friend, are an inspiration, to many people. I enjoy every video you put out. I always feel better, after watching your videos. May God continue to bless you, and I pray his blessings on Darrell's family. God bless my friend.

[@roxleyldc]

Ron, I just found your channel and I think you”re quite an inspiration! The Lord is watching out for you and your men- that’s clear. May you ever be blessed in what you do, how you teach, and how you lead. I’m from Boston, and quite a bit older than you are, but I wish I could work for you ! God Bless!

[@rprovenza5101]

Ron stay strong I just saw your vlogs today 5/1/18 and yes you're doing the right thing you show such professionalism and love watching what you do believe me your friend knew how much he meant to you and how much you meant to him, yes finding friends is easy but finding a great friend is something special God Bless you and God Bless Darryl may he rest in peace and bless his family

[@laszlodesimon4768]

You're a good man to say what you did. That says a lot for the person you are. Thanks for your great videos showing how good knowledge and experience with the proper equipment can fix just about anything! Impressive.

[@throttlebottle5906]

being sideways for very long probably filled the cylinders with oil, which would be hydrolocked and trying to crank it over without making sure they're all clear could cause major damage. bent or broken connecting, pistons and many other things. very smart checking with the dealer and having it serviced in place. :)

[@Rags722]

Beautiful tribute Ron. The more I watch, the more my respect for you grows. That doggone 1150R could have at least had the respect to pretend it was working hard. Didn't even settle the front suspension a bit.

[@edwardpage8959]

Ron,, Wonderful dedication to your friend Darrell. Hopefully, he is looking down and so very pleased to be remembered. RIP Darrell, Ron's good friend and honored viewer.

[@gustavusbonner8524]

Touching video had me in tears in the beginning

[@DavidMcCoyII]

Now I know what you were doing when I came to visit! May Darryl rest in peace, and may you not rest in peace for a while yet! Be safe, brother. I was telling Mike I'm volunteer fire and some of my brothers die doing with red and blue what you do with mostly yellow. Very much respect.

[@julz4u2]

Very nicely presented Ron. Cancer is a terrible decease effecting so many of us, including myself. Hope you received my message I sent a while back on Facebook. Please Be Safe. ~Paul

[@driftracingchampion123jace4]

Sorry to here about your friend Darrell. I know what it's like to lose someone who you became friends with. Heck three years ago 2015 I believe. My family lost our grandfather to Dementia and it was hard for us but he will always be in our hearts and souls we miss him probably just as much as you miss your friend Darrell.

[@pix4434]

Sorry for the loss of your friend. He will still be with you in spirit. To be honest I think a ride in that truck would be a blast! I'm in Kansas, & have only ridden in a small town truck once due to a family front differential on my truck. God bless, & stay safe out there!

[@tacticalpotato938]

I've had a uncle that died because of lung cancer because of all the cigarets in WW2. Sorry for your loss RIP. ~John

[@diannaf4821]

Bless your heart till it heals from Darrell's passing. R I P Darrell. Awesome job Ron and Mike. Gods Speed and God Bless.

[@tonycarter6509]

Ron an interesting video But our thoughts with the family of Darrell , With his passing they must now have a sad life But less stressful and may he rest in peace. AS for the dirty truck yes it is the most expensive peace of advertising you have But it is a working vehicle I expect it is now clean and in its usual condition.

[@bradmorgan1234]

Sorry to hear about your friend, I never thought I would be on KZbin commenting as much as I am but if I wasn't farming, I'd be towing!! Love to watch the rotator and doing the rigging.

[@richardc9422]

Sorry to hear about your friend Ron it's hard when you have a dear friend pass but we all go to a better place and will meet again . A nather great job that truck is a beast I love how it makes it look so easy you can tell you have spent a lot of time working with it . When I get some time I will get a list of some detailing products for you to try on your trucks to help them stay clean I have three companies I detail trucks for and they stay nice most of the time just powerwash them and good to go take care buddy god bless Richard C. Professional Detailing

[@scruffy6151]

May GOD Bless Darrell's family in there time of sorrow. Job well done Ron and Mike GOD bless. Thank you.

[@davidhalvorsen4532]

Ron, I'm very sorry to hear about your friend, cancer sucks! I've been watching your channel for a while now and this is my first time to comment. You are an awesome mentor to the guys you take on the road with you. You take the time to teach them the right way to do things. That's a rare skill my friend, and you do it with ease. Stay safe!

[@crazywolf9411]

ron...thank you for sharing this...sorry to hear about your loss..i have lost 4 good friends in the past year to cancer..just be thankful they got called home to ease the suffering ...i will keep you and everyone else in my prayers..god bless and thank you

[@patricksill8793]

I am sorry for your loss Ron; will be praying for Darrell's family that the Lord will comfort them during their time of grief and will draw them closer to Him. Grace to you.

[@waynecompton7612]

Thank you for the video Ron and Take Care 😎👍🇬🇧. It's so sad when people pass on but no more pain.

[@HighlandSteam]

It’s a nasty thing Cancer. I nursed my mother to her grave in 6 weeks. Rest well Darrell. I myself use to do vehicle recovery but had to give up due to failing health.

[@Victormassano]

R.I.P. Daryl , we'll miss your post on here . Our prayers are with your Family and Friends.God Bless

[@goodmoaningvietnam1439]

I come from farming stock and I don't know if it's because there so close to nature but for the most part there genuine people. Practical and down to earth. A great video to dedicate to your friend may he Rest in Peace.

[@sterlingodeaghaidh5086]

As a person who works in the funeral industry and also has a family with a history of both stroke and cancer, I feel you, even friends can become close and once they are gone it is like losing a family member. Just know that he is in a better place and that he will stay in your heart and memories for as long as you live Ron. Our bodies may not last but our legacy does.

[@teaches2010]

Ron, it's obvious you truly care about your clients. Sorry to hear about your friend. Keep up the good work sir, and God bless.

[@SaposJoint]

I'm so sorry you lost your friend, Ron. He's waiting, brother. On a lighter note, do you ever get to tip cows?

[@Savagekicks_ttv]

God bless u Ron. God won't give you anymore then you can handle. I learned that 4 or 5 yes ago when I lost my wife due to a hospital mistake.

[@daveleidecker833]

I really like the way you work with Mike and Talon, you work with them and at the same time teach them. You have my respect for that. God bless you

[@johnl8996]

A very touching dedication and that just shows who you are deep down; someone who cares. Keep up the great work and thank you for the insight into your career and love of life.

First Frosty the Towman and now Tow Mater...On a more serious note, I have lost friends and family to cancer. I know they are in a much better place with our Heavenly Father and they are not hurting anymore. Sometimes we are needed to act as God's hands. You examplify that and an earthly angel. God bless.

[@davidmckinzie6009]

Thanks Ron for the nice words for your friends, cancer is something that is very bad. May god go with you and your family

[@mike53051]

You're a good man Ron...RIP Darrell

[@brucemccain6339]

Sorry to hear about your friend. I know how you feel. I just lost a friend of 52 years, yesterday, of parkinson.

[@sziltner]

For those of us that believe, we know your friend is safe in God's arms. No more pain, no more sadness. RIP Ron's friend. A good friend of mine died when the farm field creek bank crumbled under his tractor tires and he tipped into the creek with the tractor on top of him. I was on the VFD, but we were too late getting there and had no way to get the tractor off of him. So, this video was a sad reminder of his tractor accident in 1960. Tnx for the videos and God Bless.

[@baileyhowison9501]

I’m sorry for your loss
