That’s a rough 8 miles but if I was in your shoes I would have done the same thing ! Those tests of patience is why you have a thriving business you are willing to go the extra mile and your customers see and appreciate it! Keep up the great work and awesome videos!

Hi Rick, I stumbled across your utube channel today. I definitely have enjoyed watching you work. I’m surprised that you are so good at what you do. We live in a world full of idiots and it’s very refreshing to see someone who is great at what he does. You have a wonderful and supportive wife. Lucky man !😊 Keep up the good work ! Love you channel and thank you for sharing your work with us.

Appreciate the kind words, glad you enjoy the channel!

Even if I am from Sweden and support national Volvo and Scania, I would suggest you complete your fleet with a MAN Off Road - Tow Truck with GROUND CLEARANCE! (May be custom built, but anyways)! MAN KAT 1M1013 8*8 HIGH-Mobility Off-Road Truck.

Drove tow trucks as a younger fella Ford F350 long before the tilt trays we even had a dual axle converted pick up back in the day chains not like now ,I did mainly salvage work never got into the push and shove of accident retrieval ,salvage back in the day was chains and blocks and a modicum of skill incorporate some luck , really enjoyed those years ,grey beard here .@2:29 driving on the right side of the road isn't it bad enough that the steering wheel is on the wrong side ...yep downunder here steering wheel is on the wrong sider of the truck never mind driving on the right hand side of the road ,we drive on the left hand side of the road here and the steering wheel is on then right hand side, way back when I was in the states tried driving just got away with it thought I would mention that ,but I digress I do that .

[@nakinajay]

Ran a Holland Mobile Flash Butt Welder for 5 years and they are heavy units. They have a boom inside which extends out the back with a 180 tonne rail puller and welder head hung from a cable. Theres a John Deere 6 + litre generator also behind the cab. 480 volts which is stepped down to 240 then again down to 120. It completes the weld in a matter of minutes. The rail pullers can pull 180 tonnes and can pull rail , joint bars and other welds apart. They are a very cool piece of railroad technology.

[@megamannn8527]

Rick that had to be a top 3 recoveries in all the years you've been in the wrecker business, next thing you'll be putting on wrcker is drop down train wheels so you can get on the railroad tracks if anyone can do it you can. Lol!!! Great job to you and your guys from Murphys towing.

Now that was a bad ass recovery Wrecker Rick, I'm surprised you even took that rotator down that we will call it a trail not a road. Took longer getting there than to do the job. Great crew. See ya on the next one.

Thanks for watching Michael!

[@bertrutledge4546]

Most owners wouldn't have taken the rotator down that path. Wrecker Rick shows he is the MAN. Bet that was expensive for the railroad. Good job by all.

[@MURPHYSDIESEL]

Thank you!

[@georgegeorgepht]

I had to put this video on the big tv to get the big picture. I’m sure the truck builder who made your rotator would love to watch this and see how the truck did off road in this situation. Thanks for sharing. Great video.

[@JustaNaughtyBoy666]

The thing is, that Matt and Heavy D used off-road vehicles to go off-road with. This beast was simply an on-road tow truck that they took down a gravel track, or as us town folk call "off-road"

[@QUIX4U]

26:25 Let me tell you a little bit about why FARMERS (in the USA you call them "ranchers") have cattle stops for. It's so that when driving along they don't have to get out & open EVERY gate, to just move through - stop again & get out to close it - at every fence. Let me also explain why they have a (looks like the fence) TARANAKI GATE, at the side of every (concrete & rail) cattle stop It's because when moving / droving cattle along the road, the cattle will always REFUSE to get their hooves stuck in the (that's what it's there for) CATTLE STOP. Hence why the farmer / rancher, has the TARANAKI GATE (End-of-fence) - held so simply with ONE attachment, such that it's reasonably easy for them to DROP THE FENCE - to the side of the cattle-stop, so that the cattle can BYPASS the cattle gate. It's also there, for big low slung trucks such as low-boy heavy haulers with bulldozers on (or for massive tow trucks such as yours, with it's LOW CLEARANCE) - to also BYPASS the cattle stops. Go back and have a learning look at every one of those ugly - impossible to cross cattle stops, (either in the video or go back in the ute and physically DROP a fence gate) - and SEE the simple FENCE/GATE at the side, done like that so any city idiots (I mean people who don't know) - can't get past the cattle stop - without knowing they could have driven past in a few seconds, by using the wire gate "like a gate" to the side Here in New Zealand - they are called TARANAKI gates, as almost all TARANAKI farmers use "drop fence gates" instead of real ones. Others around the world have their own unique name for these simple (looks like & is part of the fence) DROPGATES en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hampshire_gate

[@MrsWreckerRick]

Wrecker Rick actually use to Cowboy and knows all about them. The ones we could go around, we did. But most were definitely not passable in the rotator anymore than going over the cattle guards.

[@Quacks0]

17:10 Well, you know, the big yellow tow truck that Matt's Off-Road Recovery built would have really shone on this trail --- your gigantic four-axle rig may be bigger overall, but Matt's truck has the huge tires and high ground-clearance to easily crawl over those obstacles that you got hung up on. :D P.S. You forgot to mention FabRats --- they're building an off-road "rollback" flatbed wrecker. :P :D

[@dennispalmer6007]

Matt’s wrecker would of handled the road with ease. It however is built to retrieve passenger vehicles that go places they shouldn’t be. It would not pickup a rail car.

[@ke6bnl]

CRAZY😮

[@thebegrsshow]

In case you ever have to do something like that again, if you drop your H Beam down, you can access the pad pins, drive them out, and just toss the pads into the side box till you get to where you're going. It will gain you almost 3 inches of clearance. I discovered that option after I "self clearanced" a notch in about 10 oversized new speed bumps to get to a stuck Pumper Truck.
