WRECKED CATTLE WAGON TOW 12 6 2016

[@EezeeListen]

In awe of your skills and problem solving. The way you hitched that trailer and straighten it up and all of the appropriate equipment and tools you have - a credit to you and surely a few companies could take note of your expertise. All the best.

[@josedejesus6185]

Yes, Ron, I agree with the previos comments of the other people that watch your channel, but, I want to add that you are very concern about safety and the well being of others! You are one of a kind my friend! Keep it up and God bless!

[@tomuchfunwithgas846]

Best words to describe Ron Pratt 'Unfailingly polite'. Thank you for all you do. Denny

[@MrLordwrecker]

Thus is my favorite towing channel because: a. You have the right equipment for the job. b. You know what your doing c. You don't give the industry another black eye like some folks.

[@RonPratt]

James Vaughan. Thank you very much. I have worked hard for many years to improve the image of our industry and make it more professional. Thank you for noticing and thank you for watching. God Bless

[@Kickinpony66]

I get kind of dizzy, from the POV camera view. You move your head a lot! Maybe try a chest/harness mounted camera?

[@Kickinpony66]

Oh, and everything James said! :)

[@firstwest2474]

Just hope he never sneezes

[@Kickinpony66]

Right!?!?

[@kurtismckemmie4850]

You are the man Ron! I thought that trailer wasn't going to fit on your flat bed. Great job!👍

[@larrytaylor2443]

you're my favorite to watch. you always calm don't get excited. you're always in my prayers that you stay safe. God bless you

[@RonPratt]

Thank you very much. It is greatly appreciated, especially the prayers. God bless.

[@Databyter]

Very impressive. That one had me scratching my head but you knew just how to do it, and did it quick.

[@cherylturner5868]

[@levibrown30a90]

can you turn your CB on or what's the reason why you have it off and are you the owner of the company can you check out my channel

[@blue.collar.man.]

I used to like watching "RepoNUT" but he hasn't uploaded any videos recently... and "K Whopper" I'm sure he only uses his CB if he's like in bad traffic jam trying to get to wreck on the interstate.

[@mattwagner7489]

I watched RepoNut too, to bad he's done with repos. Ron is the best out there.

[@Slubbernard]

Great video as usual.

[@susanowens6393]

Great job getting that cattle trailer on your flatbed.

[@usnusmcret]

How can someone make a negative comment to this very interesting tow?

[@ContinuEntertainment]

You know you have a good camera when you can here the bass in every step he takes lol

[@gta5lspdfr821]

HE's using a GoPro

[@kevinrippe7609]

Love your videos

[@charlesdove441]

perfection at its best c dove

[@RonPratt]

Thank you for the complement, but I am far from perfect. God bless.

[@charlesdove441]

your work eyhics i mean

[@dorothyford6616]

Glad that trailer wasn't loaded with livestock! Your video could've stretched to 2 to 3 hrs!! As always stay safe out there, God bless

[@elliottgussow9555]

However, it was obviously loaded with a few inches of "essence of livestock". What a job to have to handle that trailer!

[@gayle4804]

Maybe an old video but that happens a lot even here in Arizona

[@RonPratt]

Thank you for watching and God Bless!

[@dwightarnold6980]

I though at the beginning that there were cattle on board GOOD job RON. NO Cows hurt in this video

[@Quadflash]

Sweet! Rock-solid and safe.

[@RonPratt]

David Sonnen . Thank you as always sir.

[@YYCRCFabricationz]

A bit belated to comment I suppose but I use to take photos of the wrecks etc., that I hauled as well...because this was definately one for the records huh? Great job Sir!

[@donmaasch559]

I liked your video and the fact your a Christian and proud of it .Nice crosses on the rollback

[@RonPratt]

Thank you. There is a cross on the Rotator as well. If you look closely on the driver's side on the stainless steel just below the cab towards the rear. Thanks for watching and God bless.

[@BrucexfromxCanada]

ReHi: As you often mentipon, "very little details" until you arrive. This was often my situation in industry, too. Industrial electronic service is often closely related with Instrumentation and control. This is another job on the road, and you never really know until onsite what you will encounter, the same for both of us. Additionally I did many dangerous jobs - they were the best for me because I had the de facto know-how and stability of mind in dangerous situations to get the job done. So, I m still alive! But all that's part and parcel of being a "road warrior!"

[@rmc5278]

Looked so stubborn to put on roll back how did you get it back off? . Great channel by the way , i would love to do this work , and good to watch someone competent & profesional ...

[@RonPratt]

Thank you. We didn't have too much trouble getting it back off. Sometimes the loading is more complicated that the unload. God bless and thank you for watching.

[@drumdocrc6373]

Hi there, i must say that i really like your cars, they are soooooo nice i have a question for you too i've been watching alot of your videos here on KZbin and i have a question about your way to unload from the flatbed, i used to drive a recovery truck here in sweden and if i hade a wreck on the bed i used to take the winch and use a block at the end of the bed to drag the wreck down from the bed instead of shaking it of that i've seen you do on 2 or more of your videos, have you tried to do so?? i meen it saves the truck from getting damaged to :-) looking forward to more of your videos Best regards Klas in Borås, Sweden

[@maxmoats2517]

Ron, you should get a rotating rollback!

[@RonPratt]

That would be cool. No dealers anywhere close to us so it would be difficult to get service if needed. Great concept. Thanks for watching and God bless.

[@maxmoats2517]

Ron Pratt ah I got you

[@beargrams9276]

Hi Ron: Again a great video. Got a question; how many times has PD requested the wrong equipment? Or have you ever got on scene and decided that you needed other equipment? Do you have someone who could bring you the rotator if your on scene and needed it?

[@RonPratt]

Normally PD has a good idea of what will be needed. There are times, however, when we arrive on scene only to find we need different or more equipment. Especially on large incidents I will arrive on scene, assess the situation, and call in for the equipment that I believe we will need to complete the job. And, yes, there are other people that could bring the rotator out if I needed it. Thanks for watching and God bless.

[@MrJdcorp]

good job Ron

[@RonPratt]

Thank you and God bless

[@chasesblog]

Having worked on a feedlot in the past I know the feeling of busted tires. Had one pop on a trailer on us we were able to replace as we had a spare and a way to lift the tire off the ground and had one time I had a leak on a truck tire I caught right after I unloaded and headed back to the feedlot as we were about 10 miles from it while the other guys unloaded the other trailers but this trailers a lot worse than anything I ever dealt eith

[@RonPratt]

This trailer actually got "side-swiped" by another vehicle and knocked both axles out of place. Thanks for watching and God bless.

[@tomuchfunwithgas846]

Longer truck??

[@kens.3729]

That was quite the Predicament for that Farmer.

[@RonPratt]

Thank you for watching and God bless.

[@georgeevirs7338]

God bless

[@johnchitwood3328]

I would have called for a big truck and trailer to load that trailer on and Tied down

[@davidwinslager6266]

Ron, what did the rancher hit with his trailer?

[@RonPratt]

Another vehicle travelling the opposite direction "side-swiped" the rancher, from what I recall. Thanks for watching and God bless.

[@clydebalcom8252]

Funny thing. When I saw "cattle wagon" I thought "Bull Rack" or a full size cattle trailer for a semi truck.

[@ionracer24]

Man, up close and personal poo cam...I almost barfed!

[@RonPratt]

LOL sorry! God bless.

[@gorillaau]

It's a crappy job but someone had to do it. I'll refrain giving Ron a patt on the back under the circumstances.

[@judil3294]

Too funny, having grown up in farm land I didn't even notice. 😄

[@robfox1530]

Can hear you

[@geno55912]

I wonder if that trailer could be repaired or was it "totalled?" Looks like the driver pulling that cattle trailer hit a low culvert or something.

[@tomhasnoharley1263]

what engine do you have in your Ford? Cummins or power stroke?

[@urielhernandezT150]

His f650 has a cummins isb 6.7

[@whtelephant1]

Wouldn’t it have been easier to use the rotator to lift it and take a tire off one side and put it on the other?

[@terrainesteenkamp3850]

i can imagine your work mates faces if you had to take a wagon full of cattle back to your yard hahahahah

[@RonPratt]

We have had to do that....recently. Deceased cattle that is. Not a good situation. Thanks for watching and God bless.

[@llloyd4]

Apologies for the late message. A combination of bordem, need to kill time, and a lack of new content on the channels I sub to I dug and old video out of the archive of my favorite channel. Any who, you ever had to recover a trailer with livestock still on board or do you let the client transfer the 'load' to another trailer first? That's assuming you had a job involving a livestock still on board. :D

[@RonPratt]

Actually, we have recovered vehicles with livestock in them on multiple occasions. Generally, they have been semi trailers loaded with cattle that have overturned or crashed. I don't show those videos, because some people might be "squeamish" about some of the scenes that we have to deal with. Thanks for watching and God bless.

[@llloyd4]

@@RonPratt Cool! And, yeah, I understand that, in that case most probably at least one of the livestock has gotten injured and that sort of scene is equivalent to a horror movie for some people. Well, something like that. >.< Anyway, thank you for the videos. And may God bless you and your household.

[@jenniferpratt4822]

Do you sell hard hats with the full brim

[@RonPratt]

Yes we have hard hats and base ball caps for sale.

[@johnnewman732]

Wow!!

[@maineman11]

You need to figure out a way that you aren't dragging landing gear.

[@aceinhd3720]

red and blue lights ? im not familiar with your state or county laws but isnt that illegal ?

[@RonPratt]

In Missouri towing and recovery vehicles are classified as emergency vehicles and can run red/blue lights and sirens when requested to do so by an authorized agency such as police or fire. Here is the link to a video I made explaining this in more detail, if you are interested in watching.. Thanks and God bless. kzbin.info/www/bejne/l2KTpJxoqduLZ5I

[@Ken6151]

Some loads could be tail heavy, perhaps this one. Makes for difficult driving.

[@Brosko559]

Looks like the steering wheel is off, you need alignment on that truck..

[@twistedpastry173]

Same thing happens in my F550 rollback. The caster gets screwed up so quickly that its not even worth doing. The suspension ford puts into them is not for hauling thats for sure.

[@gorillaau]

I assume that no livestock was harmed in the prelude of this video.

[@RonPratt]

Correct. LOl God bless.

[@donaldswink6259]

That cattle trailer needs a good cleaning.

[@captainmorgan1107]

You really make these recoveries look too easyRon! Just curious why the police officer didn't pull his car onto the road protecting both you and your truck when you were partially blocking that lane?

[@RonPratt]

Thank you. As for the officer, I can't tell you. I know my truck has red/blue lights on the front so while I was in the wrong lane during loading, there was a clear line of site for oncoming traffic. The other lane was a different story. The officer has helped me in many other situations. God bless

[@dedwin8930]

At least the cows went back to the barn...

[@nimrodquimbus912]

Where's the beef ?

[@devindowning7460]

that cow trailer is too big for that flatbed truck

[@benmac7315]

Devin Downing was thinking it looked rather large on there. Time for a bigger truck maybe.

[@ThetrollKing-pl6ux]

I now you bin working for 30 is that right

[@ThetrollKing-pl6ux]

Years

[@RonPratt]

Yes, I have been working the same job for 30+ years. It is a family business and I enjoy what I do.

[@TheSwampdoggydog]

Wow that sucker only just fit. Don't you have a bigger roll back as you say over there

[@RonPratt]

Brett Swampy. This is the largest truck mounted rollback/flatbed that we have. We have flatbed trailers also. I'd like to have a larger truck mounted one, but not sure when or if we will get one. This is common size over here with a 21 foot long bed and 102 inches wide.

[@RonPratt]

Brett Swampy . What do you call what we call a rollback?

[@TheSwampdoggydog]

Ron Pratt Hi Ron they are called "tilt and slide" or sometimes, full tilt and slide vehicles a bit of a mouthful

[@robfox1530]

Can't hear you good

[@chasepurifoy2891]

why do u need a tow truck for a blow out

[@RonPratt]

It wasn't a blow out. It was a Side-swipe that pushed the axles out of position. The vehicle that hit it had already left the scene when I arrived.

[@chasepurifoy2891]

ohh my bad y do u have sirens on a tow trucks

[@pomeranuscar]

BOM TRABALHO.......

[@RonPratt]

Thank you and God bless.

[@19502393]

Sir your lights are not bright enough to be seen during the day time. I worked on the sides of interstates for 42 years in my career so I know what you are going through with the people not slowing down no moving over. We used to get a fake radar gun and park another truck 1500 ft away, point it in their direction and believe me, they would slow down. Then we build a trailer with a huge strobe light and a light bar and took it with uson almost every job. We had gas-powered gen. to run the thing, You should try making one works great!!!!

[@levibrown30a90]

you can have sirens on a tow truck and blue and red lights

[@RonPratt]

In Missouri we are considered emergency vehicles in the same class as ambulances and fire trucks so, yes, we are allowed to run them.

[@rogersclark2850]

and in Wyoming.... its nuts when i went otr in the rig to see that!!! Not in Colorado!!! wish that would change!!!! i was towing for 14 years before i switched... great job!!!!!

[@defunkymonky]

ha ha,, i think you know TB, he trained you?

[@busterboy7505]

👍🇺🇸🇬🇧🪝.

[@TheCalgarydoug]

Ron paid attention in geometry class it seems.

[@RonPratt]

Geometry, Algebra, Physics...they are all used in my daily adventures. Thanks for watching and God bless.

[@kevinsemidey8114]

Hey Ron

[@Zeamus634]

I would have sent a low-loader for that personally 🤔

[@michaeljmontenegro578]

oh I was hope to see some cows on the run lol

[@gorillaau]

Trouble is if some stock are on the loose after a rollover, there is usually some injured or dead.

[@ThetrollKing-pl6ux]

You must be really tired

[@RonPratt]

Sometimes I get very tired.

[@nomadicnana5497]

i like the other truck better haha
