While understanding vector arithmetic as applied to force, momentum, impulse, work, power, etc. could be useful, what they know better than me (and most likely, you too) is how to get a job done in widely varying terrain, with the equipment that have, and how to maintain, repair and upgrade their equipment, even under adverse conditions. Implicit in accomplishing a lot of the jobs requires at least a visceral knowledge of physics. I've seen some of their jobs where my approach would differ. But without having done them, I can't say for a fact my approach would be better.

Love watching your guys content. Over the years I've worked construction, public works, Land clearing, few years in Montana rock picking for masons, and the last almost 20 in the Tree service industry and there's nothing more fun than having to MacGyver your way out of a jam. Watching this episode it seemed to me the biggest issue was the rear crane tires dragging causing all of the resistance. Think you need to have Hunter design you guys some burley steel sleds that you can sit the rear tires on that strap on and have a vertical wall on the sleds that's on the inside of tire. That would have reduced your resistance drastically having to pull that dead weight across the salt flats.

Nice recovery, love watching recoveries, cleaning up the environment and making things safe. I would recommend investing in some oil rig matting. Just topple the crane onto the matting and then it’s easy to lift the front end of the matting. As you pull away the matting grades as you go. Check out how massive oil rigs get around in Canada in some of the worst conditions you will ever face. Maybe look into buying a Commander which is what we use to move incredibly heavy loads in impossible conditions. I really appreciate that you guys did what you could to level out some of the ruts. Well done.

[@richardboesen7423]

All cool ideas, BUT WHEN cables or their fittings break the human tragedies that eventually occur aren't worth the "cool videos". The Canadian oil fields suggestion is good IF you have Major Oil Company $$$$$$$$ to "invest" in a job. And a "rented" heavy lift helicopter would only apply IF "a Whole Lot of TAXPAYERS" were footing the bill. SO, cutting torches to make the job into easily managed "bits" for the heavy equipment you already have is the most reasonable ( tho much less photogenic & Exciting ) way to do it. Also much SAFER & would have the whole crew home in time for a regular suppertime & good bite's sleep for the next day's potentially hazardous tasks. Always remember " there are Bold pilots & there are Old pilots, but Very Few who are both Old & Bold " ( plus you wouldn't be Wasting Time & $$$$ repairing or replacing broken equipment ) Just a Very Old Aggie's 2cents Peace & Good Health to all

It is like watching Jeremy Clarkson shout "Poweeeer" and going nowhere. Sometime a sheet of metal acting as a slide can make a huge difference. You guys have managed to break several great and powerful machines to remove one heavy object and not one of you have thought about why snow bobs are actually a thing. When a surface is loose (snow, mud) and it is very likely the object will dig in and produce further drag the weight need to be spread as wide as possible to reduce the drag by equally spreading the load on the surface (wide tyres, snowcat tracks etc do the same thing). I assume another lesson learnt the hard way... Sure it was heavy on the money and men hours spent. It is always a lot of fun to watch these videos nevertheless.

[@FierceMotorworks]

I was thinking the same thing. A big flat steel plate could act as a skid and spread the load out so the crane wheels weren't digging trenches and adding to the drag. Doesn't have to be pretty, just enough to lift the front like waterskiing. Plus a flat plate can be stored easily because it's flat. Lay it flat and park the crane on top when it's on the trailer. Add some eyelets so it can be secured to the bottom of the object when you're pulling it out of the soft ground.

Just load that bad boy on a sled. Seems like the same principle as the snowcat on the wide tracks. By the way, I am loving the channel.

[@stuartd9741]

Ive had the same idea.. 10X 4 1/2 inch think steel skid plates. Curved up at the ends to stop them digging in the dirt... Them ruts were really deep no wonder they struggled Abit ....

[@RayHikes]

Pretty much sounds like a flat bottomed boat without the sides. Only trouble is getting the vehicle recovered on top of it, since you'd have to completely lift it. The sled would also need to be able to support the weight of whatever is on it, so you'd need a hefty sled for 50k pounds.

[@jennr7500]

Ha ha. I thought the same thing … where’s the sled for those non rotating wheels on that crane? … Jenn. 🤪

[@Nick-HBC]

Why not just torch it into smaller pieces instead of dragging and loading as one piece? More trips, but seems like that might have gone better? Doesn't make for as good of a video though!

[@kylecube15]

Don't get to listen to that sweet detroit in the hett then

[@garethmcgee1170]

Question and this may have been asked before, but would cutting the crane into more manageable sections would have made this easier? I realize not as cool for video, not looking to cause butt hurt just curious.

[@tonyposillo8803]

Nah idk what anyone says , I like how you guys did it. It shows the power of the machines , the wenches and the ropes. Awesome video , love from STL-ish lol.

[@ducksdirt5205]

Great work you guys all do to help keep these places beautiful and clean thank you

[@josephmackey9014]

Wow Dave is all I can say when it comes to the Yankem Rope. You came back you Saw and You Kicked this Recoveries Ass. Well done again for the " Can Do Crew " By the way don't these unexpected break downs ever get you Upset at all.

[@SpiTukas]

"Hands down, one of the most complicated recoveries we've ever done" - every epissode. Over and over again...

[@Randomperson0467]

Scam

[@slickmuck4312]

Ya it’s always the most complicated recovery ever on earth

[@karlbrowder931]

Why not get some steel, bend it like some big skis and put it under the crane? Drag it that way

[@getlostmike]

That snowcat is a beauty. Thanks, guys, for helping to clean up Utah!

[@zedsutterfield204]

Heavy D, I've pushed tracks to the limit then needed it to last a little longer in a pinch. When one side broke we used everything from rachets and chains and bolts to hold it together. It can work incredibly well!

[@damiendaes7940]

That snowcat is impressive. Don’t wanna know how much it is though I’d say a good amount over $500k

[@pip1855]

Am I the only 1, that would have dug down in front of the old crane and placed a 10'x8' steel plate. Drag the crane onto it then slide the thing all the way out of there? You would be dealing with about 5% of the friction and the weight spread over a large service area.

[@ogcowboy5743]

Basically a sled.

[@joeloyd56]

Thank for recovery

[@ramonamohammed6626]

Yo Dave you got to build giant skies out of carbon steel with a rope basket tied between the two steelrods with aluminum skid plates attached to the steel rods under the rope basket that would cradle the wheels or legs of what ever your pulling. So it stays on the top of the mud and doesn't dig down into the mud!Makeing what ever job a ton easier!Rock on brother!I get goose bumps watching the awesome stuff that you guys get up to!
