Hello Ladies & Gentlemen and as always, thank you for watching!!! I hope my viewers are enjoying the new 4K videos!!! Today, I take our flagship Peterbilt 389-X, Miller Industries, Century 1150R heavy rotator towing and recovery unit #11, Ethan takes dad's Western Star with a Vulcan V70 Heavy towing and recovery unit and Gavon brings our traffic control truck along with extra lengths of wire rope (cable), tools, and other things we may need for today's long, tiring job. We have to take this one is stages. As I've heard it said, "I know I'm going to have to eat this elephant...one bite at a time". The ultimate goal is to get this burnt John Deere Combine out of the field and loaded onto an RGN trailer for transport. This video is part 1, getting the combine out of the field. How many more videos? I don't know yet. This was a 16 hour day with over 4 hours of video footage to edit. Next week will be towing the combine down the highway to a solid surfaced open area for loading. I might get the loading into next week's video, but I just don't know yet. Our biggest hurdle on this job was getting the combine out of the field before the rain moved in. The ground was already too soft to get our big trucks in. So, how do we get it out of the field? Watch and find out!!! I hope you all enjoy this video!!! Thanks for watching and God bless!!!

Tell that to my cousin. Back when he worked for my dad, he had a trailer sitting on top of the fifth-wheel pin unsecured. He had a chance for it to fall off and hit someone. Thank God it didn’t or my dad would’ve been upset with my cousin.

A dead combine is a handful and as a farmer, fire is your worst nightmare. I have 3 Fire Extinguisher's placed on the machine I operate and carry a leaf blower to keep the chaff and dust off the machine.

Ron I gotta say I've seen alot of guys do recoveries around Central Illinois and you're definitely the master at it always making it easier, the guys should be standing outta the way of the chains and cable incase something were to give. I had a buddy get it with a chain through the cab of a John Deere tractor. Stay Safe.🙏🇺🇸👍

If there was a Tow Truck University (and me attending), I'd want Prof Ron Pratt teaching me. Wowsers, another incredible job and always good to watch Ethan's progress. Looking forward to Ethan's own RU-vid channel! (Or, I suspect, that Ron's channel being renamed MWT with Ethan and others making more of separate appearances.)

@HappilyHomicidalHooligan Год назад

On the front drive wheels on the shaft going to the bull gear housing. There is a bolt on a slip collar you take out. That could be easier than taking the hose lose most times. Seemed every year had at least 1 combine stuck are a cotton picker. It's good to see you teaching the younger men how to hook and pull from different parts. Keep up the good work and the videos

@Farm_fab Год назад

Ron, you might want to add onboard air to your Dodge pickup, this would be useful for air tools, as well as inflating tires, such as in this situation. There are a number of types available, but I would recommend a belt driven pump, such as used on tire service trucks.

@larrykriete7035 Год назад

In this situation the tire was burned, it can't hold air.

@legohead6 Год назад

The rotator has all the onboard air one could need. I imagine there was a reason they didn't try to air up the tire, or they did try off camera and found why it was flat.

@Farm_fab Год назад

@@legohead6 Ron doesn't need a heavy vehicle to provide air. The Dodge would be a better option as it can go more places the rotator can't, and with less surface area damage.

@Farm_fab Год назад

@@larrykriete7035not true. At 4:15, the video shows that the tire has gone flat. Having air in it would have made handling it easier. There's no burn marks on the tire, and the burn marks on the frame doesn't quite reach the tire.

@billm5433 Год назад

John Dear 9770 STS with single front wheels in good working condition was worth $75k-125k. That is a hit for the farmer. Probably had insurance but you can’t put a price on loss of use. The combine had set in the field for a few weeks, probably waiting for insurance adjuster to make a determination. Farmer had already worked the ground around the fire. Extremely soft ground, easy to get stuck. Good job.

If you can’t take the time to answer his questions in the field, would you please make a note of the questions and do a teaching session at a later time so you can teach him the why and he can learn? You can even ask him how he would handle it as a pop quiz after the training session. ❤❤❤

@jakeschisler7525 Год назад

Monday afternoon as we were traveling on I-44 going east between Phillipsburg and Lebanon in Missouri we noticed many lights flashing. As we got closer over in the west bound lane close to the shoulder many responders there. The large wrecker had a hold of the semi tractor and the people were looking at the box trailer, the whole front end was ripped open and torn apart from the trailer. The material looked like thick foam boards or something similar. Didn't look like anything caught fire, which was a good thing. Not sure if his fifth wheel came undone or what. I couldn't see the name on the side of the semi. As we came back there were more people there, trying to figure out what their next step would be. They would probably have to unload most of it. The break in the trailer went just past the dolly's. It looked as though someone used a can opener to open the box trailer. I never heard anything on the news about it. A few weeks before that, just before Philipsburg another truck had run off the road and went through a state highway sign tearing it apart. Nothing on the news about it either.

@lockedin60 Год назад

Pulling that combine out of the field is about as exciting job I had during a college summer job. Watching paint dry on these really large highway signs for our NC roads. All that is done now by prisoners. Back in the 70s those signs were made by companies. I worked for Modern Metal Products. I don't think the company exist anymore. It probably a division of something else now.

@rayives7758 Год назад

Seems like with all the farmland around you get a lot of soft surface issues. Have you considered getting some of the steel duckboard panels the Army Engineers use to make temporary runways? I know they're not cheap (nothing good is) but they would certainly uncomplicate some of the off-road recovery jobs.

If Ron saw the phone usage as a problem, he would have said something. He evidently didn't see any issue in this particular situation. If they were on a more active roadway, such as the interstate, then I'm sure they are smart enough to not look at their phones, and if not, Ron definitely would have said something.

@SReever Год назад

Now, that' a cliffhanger!

@jaratt85 Год назад

You really need a big military tow truck that's designed for offroad use. It'd really come in handy in situations like this. Either that or what the city of Fort Worth has which is a John Deere skid steer (brand doesn't matter) that has a big blade with spikes on the bottom to act as an anchor and then it has a big winch and pulley that's on a ram above it. I saw it when they used it to pull cars out of the river on Depths of History's channel. Then again, just a big wide wheel logging skidder would probably work, with those 8 giant 3-4 feet wide tires that are made for floatation. To me job #1 is get it out of the field and at least onto the access road before it starts raining.. Doing that before the driver gets there is a good use of time when worrying about the weather so it doesn't end up sunk deep in mud. Loading it on the trailer is a non-issue until you can get it out of the field.. First step in that I would've taken a set of chains and binders on each side and ran them out to that axle or onto the unit itself and then back to the main frame and used the binders to shorten it up and left that thing up to get it out of the ground, disconnecting the lines from the rams if it didn't want to budge. Those square cutouts in the top of the machine might've worked too but I don't know if I'd trust them after they've been that hot, they might've been annealed and lost all their strength... the axle is thick enough that it should still hold even after getting hot. I believe that if you would've unhooked the rear steer once you were trying to turn it around, it would've allowed it to come around much quicker with less side tension on the whole thing.

@ToyotaStarletP7 11 месяцев назад

"I need some blocks" Nothing happens "I need some blocks" Nothing happens "I need some blocks" Nothing happens "I need some blocks" Someone gets a block, carries it the whole distance while the combine is towed, finally is not able to put it under the front in the right orientation... I admire your patience.
