Dumping Trash Tator Style!!! 

For those who may have missed it, here's the video link to the crash recovery video associated with video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-yv4uphB1CrA.html As always, thanks for watching and God bless.

Never a Dull Moment. Candidate for Mike Rowe's old show World's Dirtiest Jobs. The other "fun" part of your operation could be on World's Most Dangerous Jobs! I like the variety of the work you do. I see you all stay busy. That helps to pay the bills and the use of your Rotator "Toy"!

Hello Ron.... Having spent most my working life in broadcasting TV as a studio tech/engineer i have to admit that i find the kind of material presented here far more interesting and entertaining than the general kind of junk TV programs being made today! I think it's because it shows stuff that as joe public we just never ever get to see happening or know anything about until now. When my last TV at a my home broke down i never replaced it. Now i use YT to find and follow excellent "video productions" like yours Ron.... Thanks a million!

I love seeing the cooperation between the different organizations involved in a complicated project like this. Teamwork makes all the difference. Additionally, my thanks to everyone in the sanitation business.

Hey Ron, I am sure many people will agree with me, we don't care if the blocks are painted or not. We get the most enjoyment from seeing you do such great work! If you think they need painting, then go ahead! It will only add to the brilliant videos that you put out! Best wishes from the UK.

You've got incredible patience with people. You do a great job of being respectful and professional without ever being condescending to people that try to tell you how to do your job. You deserve all the success you've had.

guess we all got trashed over this incident wow good job to the towing company for great work!!

Ron platt is the man on a rotator! Me and my brother in law worked for Graebel van lines moving and storage. We had a Mack cab over and never needed a rotator, but if we did we would have hoped it was Ron Platt! I lost Gary Mclelland this year he drove over a million miles! He was my best friend!truckers pull your horn’s for my lost best friend please?

I love how tactfully you say "if you've got a broom, I can start pushing". I could hear the nerves in your voice. Getting a little too close for comfort with that loader, not gonna lie, I was thinking the same thing.

Now we know what happens when the trash truck becomes the trash. Take it to the dump. As always, I stayed up much too late watching your great videos. Thanks for all you do for your fans.

I am in awe nothing is too small or dirty a job that you won’t do to help while doing your job. Truly a sign of humbleness. 🙏

Ron I would like to say a special thank you for your videos. A few years after leaving the Army I became an EMT and a volunteer on a fire department so of course I drove the fire trucks and ambulances I was also trained in vehicle extrication, ocean surf and high angle rope rescue. I was also a tow truck driver at the time on a small truck. I hear you talking about how much you love doing that job and I have to agree with you 100% it gets in your blood. Due to a back injury I can no longer do that type of work and I do miss it. BUT because of your videos I can sit back and watch what you are doing and can reflect on it, kind of through your eyes it is almost like being there myself so they really do mean a lot to me. I also know what you mean when you say that some calls stick with you and you wish you could forget them but I found that because of those memories that, that is the reason I did those jobs because you know you are helping your fellow man, woman, child or animal in their time of need. You get a sense of pride knowing you have helped them in some way. I also remember someones comment on one videos that the police and others were laughing and joking at a scene and it seemed inappropriate. That person doesn't understand the stress that goes with that job and having to see what we have seen and that it is a way to cope with it or I think we would all be insane. Again sometimes it would be nice to be able to remove some of those memories. God bless you and yours and may he protect everyone involved on those calls.

Ron, that trash can looked like a maneater -- lots of pinch points and potentially loose hinged parts. Your careful rigging and cautious operating made it look safe. Strong work!

I’m sure it smelled like roses and dandelions during this job. Hats off too ya Ron and team great work!!!

I am in total amazement of the new tech available now in handling loads. I have used wire rope slings years ago and I love the flexibility and easy storage of the orange fabric slings. Great business and a good witness. People are always happy to see you pull up and very professional in all aspects.

I never get tired of watching this amazing Rotator and towing situations.

I like how you go right to the equipment and not rummage around looking for something. Great 👍!

Ron : you are amazing with your 'tator' , your years of working with it and other recovery vehicles I think is one of the things that keeps me very interested in your work. TY for videoing, Drive safe and keep 'er 'tween the lines.

I really didn't think you would be doing that but figured it would be cool to see.Thanks for the video. I hate taking the trash out.😁😁😁😁

Ron this gives a whole new meaning of “trash talkin”.. Another fine (but smelly) video. I always enjoy your videos. You professionalism and your emphasis on everyone’s safety is something you don’t see everyday. But definitely need to see more of.. Stay safe out there, and god bless..

I know that what you do takes a lot of thought and calculations, but it is amazing how effortless you make this look. I know that you probably do a lot of editing but you truly are a recovery master

One of those days when you get home and your wife asks "How was today dear ?" and you can genuinely answer "It was a load of rubbish to be honest" ;)

Ron Pratt You are a TRUE PROFESSIONAL!!

Outstandingly done Ron the care and attention you give to every job makes it a joy and pleasure watching you work. I’m from Great Britain and watched probably all your videos. Wish I was young again would love to the job you guys do. All very best Sean....

You posted exactly what I was thinking! I am very thankful it is not smell o vision!

I drive many trucks, one being a dumpster Roll-Off truck. I see plenty of these transfer stations. This one is very clean compared to most. I love the videos Ron. I drove over the road for ten years. I've driven lowboy heavy haul, roll offs, roll backs and dump trucks but there is just something that makes me sit here every week and watch a guy run an awesome rotator. Love it! Keep it up and stay safe friend.

Brings back lots of memories of my time in the waste removal industry. Dumping at the transfer stations was better than slogging through mud at the landfill. Some driver would forget to tighten the turnbuckle after leaving the tip, and the compacted waste would push the tailgate open. No way to close it, so the load had to be dumped in the street, and you get bawled out by the foreman. I remember my garage had the older version of that body with the switches on the packer. The blade would stall because the body was near capacity, so we had to use a stick to manually trip the switch to “send it up.” But let me hush. Great video, thank you for posting, and God bless.

Another safe recovery and to the yard. Great job Mr. Pratt.

RON JUST TO LET YOU KNOW THAT I HAVE GOTTEN HOOKED ON YOUR VIDEOS....THANKS FOR TAKING US ALONG ON YOUR WORKING ADVENTURES...you guys do a fantastic job....none to big or small...job get done....GOD BLESS YOU AND KEEP YOU SAFE....Thank you

Ron you had on here about the snatch block not being painted, they still did what you needed i learned from your video that you like to have every thing looking nice but they are your main workhorse for what you do in recovery so seeing scratch i see as how hard you work you and you hole company your a fantastic company i would call you first if i lived in your area

I was a mechanic at Waste Managment 20 years ago. I don't miss that smell at all.

Been to a transfer station before... it smells bad!!! My hats off to the employees who work there every day.

I can only imagine the stench in that place. I just can't get enough of your videos. I always get excited when I see a new one from you.

You, Sir, are a Master Craftsman Extraordinaire! Both at your Craft & at video taping some of the most intriguing RU-vid shows! *** Plus, you're a great gentleman & Amazing Boss/Father-in-Law! I'm a 70 yr old widow who loves watching your care for safety for all you work wirh/for/& around! None better! Thanks for sharing...wish I had $, I'd tip you Big Time!🙏😇😅😰😍🏆💯%

The more I watch your truck in the video's I am impressed every time. Thank you for sharing Ron.

Great video as always Ron. You were right about us not having smellavision, I think it would have been really smelly,no pun intended. Your truck still amazes me with it's power and ease of use. Thanks for sharing and God bless

great job Ron! that 1150R is awesome! but of course the super talented operator makes it even better!

wife asked me what I am watching, and I replied, Oh some trashy video! Lol! You never know what job the 'Tator' can get into! Good job Ron!

Amazing!!! That shot of the trash truck sitting in the bay doorway is awesome!!!

So just so we're clear, you climb around15ft.in the air like a mountain goat doing your rigging no problem. But let someone get too close to the tater and you pucker up? Love it!! Good work once again.

I was just at a transfer station yesterday dumping trash in Muscatine, Iowa for the first time. I had never been to one of those places. What a coincidence that I would click on a video with similar circumstances. I grew up in Florida and we didn't have transfer stations back then. You just backed up to the landfill or dump site and just unloaded or just burned our trash.

I just can't get enough of that rotator truck. That rig can do anything!

40:54 Man, i'm absolutely with you. I worked several years in front of such gear like this loader and heavier stuff (cranes, excavators, drilling machines and so on).. I always really quick learned the capabilities of the driver and so could accurately jugde any needed safety margin for maneuvering. Whenever there was a third party truck or machine involved, if the driver has an issue, we had an issue to..... As long as we were clear to any equipment around us, everybody had to just shut up... Except, we're not all clear, then we have a liability. ;)

i use to climb on in or under anything and not think twice about it. but with my balance trouble watching you move around on top of that thing makes me queasy. damn i hate getting old.

One of my favorite videos. I love watching this one every once-in-awhile.

Ron Pratt you are good! 👍

Ron, you are an artist with the rotator. It is great to see a master at work. Thanks for sharing.

My experience with garbage trucks, from a slight distance thankfully. I was working in a trailer repair shop with a spring shop attached. There was another guy who was hired the same day as me and they asked which one of us wanted to work in the spring shop. The other guy figured working on springs would be less to learn so he asked me to let him have it. I knew something he didn't, and that was the fact that they had the contract to work on city garbage trucks. The very first truck he worked on was a garbage truck and he torched the bolts off and started driving them out with a drift. On his second strike a big ball of maggots fell down the back of his head and down the back of his neck inside his coveralls. He came screaming out of the pit and ran into the locker room peeling his clothes off as he ran to the shower. He got dressed and quit a bit later.

I really liked the older gentleman with the beard, he was very nice and helpful!

Ron, it’s a working truck, no one expects it to look brand new. Thanks for another interesting video. God Bless, Joanne

I appreciate your channel and it's plain to see that you are a believer. I have been watching your videos and just subscribed to your channel. It's nice to watch videos WITHOUT the profanity. And by the way, I too am a believer!

Some operators of the big machines are really amazing at how good they are. They blow my mind some times

just love your skills and how safe you run crews. iam sure in your life so far you have saved many peoe by just being c a reful and alert. kudos to youand your crews.

Ron, there's a small old saying over here from years gone by that says "where there's muck, there's brass", which translates as "where there's trash, there's money, you've just proved it to be a true saying P.S. The way those 644 tyres were sliding about on that floor, I would have puckered up as well Ron

this is the first time in my life i am so interested about a trash can so much ! God bless you Ron , you did another great video !!!!

That's a great crew at the transfer station. They're helpful and are funny as all get out.

The thing that surprised me, after all that in the wreck and hauling, the rake is still in the rack on the left side of the dump hatch and still appears intact.

What an interesting profession. Every time out, something new.

What an awesome job. I bet this is the first time a rotator is used to empty out a trash bin... Well done Ron!

Ron cleaned up this mess with little waste............DOH.. ... Love your channel Ron..!!

Mr. Pratt having watched several of your videos...the good Lord has blessed you with some amazing skills...I'm waiting to see a video of you threading a needle with that machine ( LoL ) great job and God Bless

ME GUSTO MUCHO EL VIDEO DE GRUA LEVANTANDO UNA CAJA DE CAMION DE BASURA

Ron I’ve watched a few of your videos before I subscribed... You sir are a good team leader/boss! A boss that is willing to jump right in along side his men to get the job done! Respect... Cheers from Canada God Bless you & your crew!

The way you work that rotator is awesome. Keep the videos coming. Joe from L.I. N.Y.

If I have teachers like you I can learn a whole lot more and all these videos I have been watching I'm not a whole lot more but the heavy towing and I really enjoy these videos I just wanted when you coming out with new ones you came out and I want more from you not from anyone made the videos and I just enjoy them and living them and learning a whole lot more and you tell Mike I said hello your wife hello then I got to enjoy watching the videos

Thanks for another great video. I certainly admire your intricate handling of such a huge and complicated piece of equipment moving such a heavy load. I was curious as to if you could had possibly used your yellow line out and down from your second stage to help open the clam shell gate ? Keep safe and God Bless !

I worked next to a transfer station that was the maintenance site for a major dumpster company 90 plus our drivers would puke after getting out of thier trucks ah memories

Ron,. Excellent job at emptying the dumpster. Half a day washing your truck with a hot water pressure washer.

Looking forward to more of those great videos. God bless you and your family.

Ron, that dolly gear rolled over video was Brilliant! thank you

I live right around 4 miles were them wreckers are built and went to school with Me.Miller. they are some nice wreckers can do alot of work with them. Good job Ron nice little project.

another small but smelly job for the rotator well done ron , keep them coming

Hey Ron - What a dirty job. All that hard work, and it all went into the trash! I bet it smelled terrible. Where was Talon? Hope he did not get lost in the heap. Great work Ron - Thanks for the complete start to end video.

When dump trucks would fall over at the dump with the the bed up I would have to get in that smelly mess so I could collapse the bed so I could up right it. What a smelly job.

Wow that lot's of trash. The weather is better today than yesterday.

I hope you get your trash picked up for free for a year. That would be a blessing.

You have a great touch, Ron!

Ron thank you for sharing with us GOD bless everyone

Right now me and my entire family are dealing with covid loss of smell and taste. That loss of sense might have worked nicely in your favor for this smelly job. Lololol. Great work on such a tedious job.

Never thought I'd see the day a towtruck dumped trash.

I worked 4-5 hours 2-3 days a week part time for about 6 months at a transfer station once sorting through recyclables. Smell'o'vision would have had a fatal error if they had it back then! :D Pet corpses are the worst to find in recyclables, they just moved the whole offending portion of the rubbish on the conveyor to the trash compactor they had at the rear and didn't even care about recycling any of the good stuff that got carried along with it. This was from incorrectly positioned bins that got tipped into the recycling part of the trash truck, the operator had a clamper arm so didn't care about rearranging it! back then they were running a split bin system. They abandoned that pretty quickly in favor of a yellow or green lid dual bin system.

Had a brother-in-law that worked his way through college at a sewer plant. They liked him. He was born without the ability to smell anything!

ron your skills with the rotator are amazing.with everything you do u should offer a towing and recovery class.

Your Tator is a multi-fuction machine and beast :)

Thank you Ron, great job done, 👍 you and your Family 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 have a Save 🙏 and a Happy Thanksgiving 🦃

No Smellovision please! I discovered you 3 days ago and am fascinated by your problem solving, interaction with people and the wonderful equipment you get to work with! Thank you!

"What a Trashy................................................." Great job as always, Ron. As always, thanks for sharing with us. We look forward to your vid's.

A stinky job for sure but looks like you all made the best of it and had some fun.

You had to lift that hulk many times to get to the end of the job. It must have been some kind of record? I get to see a lot of things I'd never see in your videos, and the proper way to get the jobs done. I hope you keep doing this for a long time to come. Thanks.

And in this episode Ron achieves his garbage truck endorsement!

You have all the fun; no rain, no traffic, no rush but do have a little smell and annoying backup horns. Compared to other picks, this had to be one of the easiest and a job well done.

You should get one of those bug deflectors for your hood, just to write Tow Mater Deluxe on it. : )

Ron can't ya hook the truck up to Siri or Alexa so you can just say ... boom out ... lights on ... order pizza we're gonna be here awhile ... 🤷🏻‍♂️

40:25 The actual difference between self employed & "worker" , self employed does what is needed for the job, "worker" does as little as is needed.

What a surprise !!, unload video too. Thanks Ron; God Bless !!.

Pro tip as someone who deals with rigging. toss the shackles on the slings so you don't have to carry them all up there with you and risk them falling as well.

Awesome video and I love it and I love the way u do ur work. I really enjoy watching ur videos and keep up the awesome work u do and please stay safe. I love trucks

I worked as a thrower on the back of a trash truck for about a year. I still can remember that smell!!!

This can't be a Ron Pratt video. There is no bad weather, no overhead power lines, no dangerous traffic...

Ron, Thank you for knowing how to hand or toss scissors correctly-- with the point in your hand.
