The good thing about being short is when you fall you don't have as far to go. God bless you Ron and your family .

@tylerhall8356 2 года назад

Always impressed with the lifts every year. I’m even more impressed this year because it’s a sunbelt rentals unit. As a mechanic for them it makes me happy seeing you lift our backhoe. God Bless you and your company.

@jamesalinio5277 2 года назад

Whole lot of mathematics and engineering involved in this setup, nice job Mr Pratt, God bless, be safe, watch out for motorcyclists, little kids, critters on the road and little old ladies going to Bingo, and love your family

I bet the outriggers come in really handy when changing the tires on the Rotator 😀

That was one of my first thoughts when seeing the wheels in the air too

The same method works for the backhoe too. But don't get under it like that.

@christepherbatts3446 2 года назад

The very rarely seen: Total & Complete....TATER ELEVATION!! TRULY AWESOME!!

@momanddad1193 2 года назад

Next year, we'll see the backhoe up in the air and the school bus suspended beneath. Can't wait for SEMO 2022!

@Th3Riddick 2 года назад

Would be interesting. I believe he does that kind of capacity, but unsure if he can use it for a tandem lift oor have enough clearance between the two at the appropriate boom angle. Would be fun to see!

@kennygray9013 2 года назад

Next year suspend Tator from his new wildwood! Matter of fact he can suspend Tator, the bus, and the backhoe with weight left.

@calebmills5365 2 года назад

Good Morning, Mr Ron. Thank you for the continuous, great content.

@dickgoodey2528 2 года назад

The sign of a wise, mature man; acknowledging that we all make mistakes sometimes, no matter how old and experienced we are. Pity our politicians don't seem to be able to grasp this concept. Well done Ron, we need more men like you. Tech question. Why do you not lubricate the threads of the D shackle pins? I notice there is always a thin powder coating of rust on the pins.

@dwightarnold6980 2 года назад

DICK Goodey! AGREE WITH 👍 YOUR STATEMENT AT THE BEGINNING OF YOUR REPLY! SO TRUE ABOUT THAT! COULD SAY MORE? But I WON'T! THANKS!

@JasonGuerard 2 года назад

Yeah, we keep spray bottles of diesel hanging on the cranes for that purpose. I've always wondered why Ron runs dry pins.....

@Rags722 2 года назад

As you were starting to get ready for the lift, and walking around the truck about 5 times, the thought went through my head...... Boy I bet Ron misses Ethan on days like this! LOL Loved 31:28 when the light came on!

@johndavid3385 2 года назад

Guys if anyone else don't live southeast mo and has seen the truck on a job in person I'm here to tell ya Ron and his team know exactly what they are doin. Iv seen the truck in person and it looks even better. Then I scrolled through RU-vid and seen Midwest truck and thought it was familiar then I started watching and now can't get enough. Stay safe Ron and company look forward to the next video or if not in person once again. Have a blessed and beautiful day.

@jonathanbair523 2 года назад

Thank you for posting the full set up like this. I really like seeing all the stuff you do for the rigging and stuff like that to get to the point to do the lift... Thank you SOOOOOOOO MUCH!

@philippenaluna2312 2 года назад

Greetings from the UK, Ron. Glad that you're back at the SEMA fair again. It's as well that John Deere didn't decide to 'dig in'!! Joking aside, another excellent PR opportunity to showcase the 'Tator's capabilities. I would imagine that the fair is an excellent means for building a rapport with the local community and 'drum up' new business. It's unfortunate that Ethan's now at college and can't help for the time being. I'd imagine that you're looking forward to the day he returns and joins the 'family firm' 'full time'. Doubtless he'll be a great asset. Don't make him less of a big miss though, but you must be proud of the lad for all that! Keep on trucking, keep safe and, more importantly, God bless!!

@mavv7088 2 года назад

As i was looking at the final display with all the lights on, I couldn't help but think the Backhoe needed some chitty chitty bang bang style fold out wings.

Lifting the rollback with the backhoe on it, now we’re talking. But still, equally impressive.

Ron you show people the right way to do things and the safe way. God Bless you and your family and friends and be careful and safe.

Just an idea or crazy thought. For next years fair maybe have a wireless mic and sound system to do a live demonstration for an audience set at a specific time. Then do a second one on tar down.

How can people even believe this setup is realistic? There was no dangerously inconsiderate traffic, no pouring rain, no mud, and no overhead power lines. Hope you had a good time there. It was kinda nice to see you setup without having to deal with all the above-mentioned challenges.

@terrymcconnell16 2 года назад

Paint touch up looks great! The choice of the tractor for Demo Lift is excellent.😎

@lockedin60 2 года назад

I suspect anytime you are lifting that it may not be an overload concern but a matter of center of gravity or balance. Just like weights and balances on aircraft.

@hughstephenson2957 2 года назад

That's why it's got outriggers to stabilize the truck..

@markreetz1001 2 года назад

Cool rigging and very educational, Ron. Enjoyed it very much. People who don't make mistakes, generally don't do anything.

@shed66215 2 года назад

Recently saw some footage of a company using two Rotator trucks to lift an ex-railroad freight wagon but without having a remote unit set up. Given how much extra versatility it offers, especially when working solo, it seems to me the extra money spent on having it fitted would more than pay for itself after a short time.

@germanjesus 2 года назад

What a magnificent machine

@elizabethadams5699 2 года назад

That was great to watch. Saw that wad of keys you have. My late husband used to work for an equipment rental company and had a key to every machine they rented. I do believe yours is bigger. My husband used to hook them to his belt loop but had to wear a belt or they would pull his pants down. He called me and had me bring his belt to him the first time he hooked them on. Watching all you go thru all you have to do for the lift was very interesting. What a mess, hope the people at the fair appreciated it and thank goodness you didn’t get a call that needed the rotator! It seemed like it was a full days work to just get it rigged up and ready to lift

@tuxokc 2 года назад

When you need to shift both spreader bar tubes, you could pull the pin, lift the tubes and insert the pin above its bracket and tie the tubes together with the pin with the strap around the pins at each end and lift both tubes safely.

@lockedin60 2 года назад

Boy that is some cluster of keys you have there. Reminds me of my dad needing various keys associated with his firefighting days. He used a belt loop holder for his. I suspect you would loose your britches on all those! Ron the use of the concrete pads: Is it because you do not what the stabilizers/outriggers to dig into the asphalt?

@andymcneil8182 2 года назад

Yes the pads are to protect the concrete from the weight of the outriggers and to help further stabilize the truck. It's the same reason why you will see Firetrucks that have ariel devices use similar pads on their outriggers

@anthonystike6034 2 года назад

Also the pads distribute the weight when you don't have asphalt but gravel, dirt, etc.

Wish I were a younger man I would like giving the heavy towing a try for an occupation. I am very mechanical as well as safety minded which has to be a must when working with that kind of weight. Has any one ever told you that you would make a super teacher, someone who has patience as well as experience...I really like your work and constantly look for new videos on your channel.

@handymansteve 2 года назад

always makes chuckle when the "platform" is set.... makes changing tires easy, no external jack needed... just set outriggers, even if they're not extended.. change all 10 easily, the extra 2 don't even need the truck jacked up, just make sure the bags are lifted

@wolphin732 2 года назад

On the front, it seemed like the backhoe had a couple of large lifting eyebolts... not sure why you didn't want to use them and instead used the front axle. As you say, there is always more than one way to rig! It was nice of them to have a diagram of how to rig it for lift! It seems they were of the idea of lifting it for something! For a fair is not likely what they had in mind.

@rayives7758 2 года назад

The machine had a decal on the side showing the proper lifting points. Whenever possible, follow the manufacturer's instructions.
