The new microphone sounded good. I personally don't like the 360 view... maybe I'm doing something wrong, I don't know! Anyway that was an interesting job because of the aircraft machinery that you don't normally see. Well anyways it was interesting to me! Have a good day!😀😀😀😀😀😀😀
The audio could be a tad louder. Dave Sparks posted on Monday how he spent $35,000 for about $450,000 worth of things. One of them was a lift truck just like you moved. It hadn't been used in 10 years. He got it up and running after checking the fluids and hydro lines. Stay safe.
Love that 1150R. Shade of Ron Pratt. LOL I didn't read the description till I made my comments. I saw the controller and recognized it. I live 2 hours from Miller Industries. It's a site to see driving to Chattanooga.
I wished you had at least showed how you hooked up to the rear, considering you had a platform on the back of the s gas truck. Also be safe, use the seat belt.
loading a telehandler can be tricky. you sit all the way out on the edge. i put mine on my rollback often and i am still very careful. nice quick and safe job guys.
Simply because it's quicker and easier to tow it as a unit, To seperate it he would have to do every single step to the the unit the same exact way, plus he would then have to seperate on hook the trailer to another unit and run air to that as well. So it very well can easily be acheived but unless it has to happen for one reason or another it's just quicker to tow it as a whole unit and seperate it later if need be.
As an owner of one of these just let me say thank you for towing us! We try to do good maintenance and are generally low miles but once in a while things go wrong and ruin our trip. It's ggod to have a hero come save the day!
You are just the second towing and recovery channel I have found that uses the "rolling" recovery unit. Just you and Ron Pratt. I also noticed the "@417towing" at the beginning of the video. Just how close to Springfield MO are you?
Nice job. Just subscribed ! Definitely recommend carrying extra batteries and a charger, that’s what I do. Don’t know what camera you’re using but my GoPro like to go through batteries fast.
Nice pick out.Seen to many skid steer winch outs. Some of those were done using another skid steer because the roads were to narrow or to muddy. Are you going to get your Tater wrapped with nice colors? BTW when you were using the right side controls i was wondering why you weren't using the remote. One second later you went for it. LOL Stay safe out there.
Thanks for the comment! We have our graphics on the truck now. Feel free to check out some of our other videos and you'll see the new graphics! I'm doing a walk-around of the tater this week also, stay tuned!
Nice job.Voice over and time lapse worked great. Poor Freightshaker gonna need some TLC. Just wondering about what's under the hood and the transmission. I believe Ron Pratt has the Cummins ISX 15 and an Eaton Fuller 18sp manual. Stay safe out there.
@@Towing417 Sweet. I have been following Ron for almost 2 years.He is a master on that machine. I also follow Plaza Towing in southern Cal. He hasn't posted lately and i am assuming he is doing work at Coachella and they don't want him doing videos on site. The other one I follow is Pepe's. They have 3 rotators but none are the 1150r. Josh sometimes lets his ego take over. Also according to Trent from Plaza the 1150R would be considered overweight for use in California.
Wow I thought Hal Watts from Sumter Wrecker had balls driving in the swamps of South Carolina. I wonder if Ron Pratt would have taken his 1150R down that road. I was thinking when you had the lines hooked on why you didn't have one up to and boom there you go. You had a top line. Would have been nice to see you haul that tanker out of there. Just wondering. In a case like this do you have to have a Hazmat on your CDL for a job like this? Good job and stay safe. Love what the 1150R can do.
Tow operators do not need any endorsement as long as it is a primary or emergency tow. "§383.93 - Endorsements Guidance Q&A Question 8: Do tow truck operators who hold a CDL require endorsements to tow “endorsable” vehicles? • If the driver’s towing operations are restricted to emergency “first moves” from the site of a breakdown or crash to the nearest appropriate repair facility, then no CDL endorsement of any kind is required." This is from the FMCSA website. Thanks for watching!
Thanks for your quick reply. I live in NC and often have to drive to Chattanooga TN, and I pass by Miller Industries factory 🏭. To see 👀 all those rigs is amazing and very impressive.
