I watched Matt’s recovery of your side by side first, and saw your comment on there, so I came here to see how the side by side got in the canyon. Now I know.
This is one of the best ever videos relating to Matt's Off Road Recovery. We always wonder how in the hell did this happen and here we have the full story. It was nice to have this to go along with Matt's Recovery plus it was a very well done video on your part.
@@AmbitiousAmateurs no, you just didn't have the tooling to recover the SXS. you were thorough in your chocking and blocking and the backhoe did what was needed to bring the truck back onto the road.
Glad no one was hurt and you guys were able to get the truck and trailer recovered before things got worse. Definitely was cool to see the client perspective from a Matt recovery video.
Like so many others, I had seen the MORR video recovering the sxs. I guess enough of the other MORR fans came over that it got this into my algorithm. Y'all did a great job recovering the truck and trailer.
Always wonder how people get in those situations that Matt has to get them out of. So cool to see the whole story. I'll subscribe and watch your videos. Guve me something to do at work lol
That must've been a terrifying and helpless feeling for the person unloading the excavator, as the entire rig began sliding off the edge and they were along for the ride. This was one of those situations that was unforeseeable but a lesson learned would be to always chock the trailer tires when loading/unloading equipment. Possibly even add some stabilizer jacks to the rear of the trailer. Great video footage, and I'm very glad no one was hurt!!
Saw the recovery on Matt's channel! You guys did awesome getting the truck/trailer back on the road. Thanks to all that assisted. Now I wonder if you have given Matt the idea to build an off road backhoe? Super happy no one was hurt.
Glad all worked out! Plus bonus traffic from MOOR! In case it hasn't been said, if that SxS tumbled all that way down, it's a heck of an advertisement for the design and build quality of the cage on it!!!! Hardly looked even tweaked!
Comment for the algorithm, came from Matt's, subbed and ready to see what else you get upto! Hopefully some more successful and less expensive endeavours!
Hi there! Came here from the MORR-channel. You have really good videos!! Keep it coming man!! You are good at this!! Thanks for sharing!! Best regards from Norway in Europe!
Hear from Matt's video That was impressive. You need to do an explanation video on how the trailer lifted the back of the truck up You have trailer rear stabilizers were they not in use? Did you not use wheel chucks on the front tires of the truck or the trailer tires? Did you not set the emergency brake? Did you not put the truck in four-wheel drive if equipped? We need to know how not to do this in the future 😂 I'm glad no one got hurt! 👍
My brother rolled his excavator when his big truck took off loading the excavator the truck stopped when the excavator rolled off the trailer when he grabbed the ground to try to stop the truck and trailer. No injuries and alot of highlift jacking and pulling really hard with a chain and my little 4x4 toyota got it back upright! Your situation was way more sketchy! Good job saveing it
Came from MORR. Haven't watched any of your other videos yet, but I can say I really like your intro. Video and editing quality are pretty good too. Keep consistent and it looks like you'll have a pretty successful channel in no time. Thanks for sharing this part of the story!
On gravel and a hill that still not enough because once the rear is up you only have the fronts and it will still drage the truck. The lesson is to chock the trailer tires but also if the area is sketchy you need two throw some 6x6 or some jacks under the rear of the trailer so that when the vehicle unloads it prevents the rear of the trailer from diving and prevents lifting the truck hitch. Its a simple solution but its easy to rush and think that it will never happen to you until it does. :^) Now if you think fast enough you can run the unloading vehicle forward to set the trailer/truck back down but most people are in panic mode at that point and are in for the ride.
Nice editing! & Then to the Mess... So close to major failure! Very nice that ya brought the right tools, & operators, to solve the predicament! Crazy, & congrats!
Another viewer here from your comment on Matt's video. Great job on the self recovery. Just a quick thought for you. If you are unloading something off of a trailer that is going to pick up the rear tires of the tow vehicle, and the tow vehicle is 4 wheel drive, engage the 4 wheel drive in low range first. That will help hold the tow vehicle in place if the back tires come up. Like anything else, it does not always help, but it is a little extra insurance and may be enough to avoid a major problem. Just my 2 cents.
Ya I wouldn't wish that luck on anyone. Maybe get a video of them dropping it off to you and have another video to post. I'll subscribe in hopes you will get a good chance of making some cash from the algorithm.@@AmbitiousAmateurs
You did good! Matt could have made it look prettier, but couldn't have gotten a better result. You recovered everything you could and didn't do any extra damage. Well done!
I have watched a bunch of videos where any times I have seen simular things happen when loading or unloading heavy equipment on trailers. Once the weight of the equipment is behind the trailer axles the rear of the truck lifts up. In this situation it happened on a of camber spot on a dirt road and the weight of the trailer and load pushed the truck off the edge. I think that equipment trailers should have built in jacks on he rear so they can be put down to support the trailer so the trailer can't tip up when loading and unloading equipment. I tried loading a motorcycle on a trailer without it being hooked to a vehicle. I now put jack stands under the rear of my trailers, so this doesn't happen. Trailer tounge jacks added to the rear on each side would work well for this.
Yeah. I saw that on European trucks with long bed for transporting heavy equipment...at the end of the bed, where you put ramps down they have 2 hydraulic legs to support the end when loading. Would work great here to.
The use of the backhoe to move the trailer while still connected to the truck was Spot-On!. I do not know if you normally use support stands or blocks of timber/wood under the rear of the trailer when loading &/or off loading equipment but it would be recommended. I used to haul equipment for many years ago and we always used supports. It eliminates the trailer "teetering'" when weight shifts at the rear, resulting in the lift at the towing vehicle. My 02 cents.
That is a legitimately good lesson to remember about a heavy piece of machinery coming off the back of a trailer and lifting it enough to make the rear brakes ineffective if you’re on a steep or precarious position. Either putting jack-stands or some other heavy duty stand under the back of the trailer would probably work, or just ensuring the truck is properly secured.
Wow, great video and explanation. I can taste the adrenaline. Scary moment when you're backing off the backhoe and the trailer moves underneath you. Good recovery. Thanks for sharing. Sometimes you can't make this stuff up, real life just shows up and adds some spice.
Well now I know the rest of the story as I watched Matt Offroad Recovery first ! Talk about pucker power watching that video ! I'm very glad that no one was hurt maybe had to change clothes but not hurt !
I'm convinced that TH-camrs go out to Utah just to get stuck so they can use Matts Off Road Recovery in their Titles to get their channels off the ground. 😬🤷🏽♂😉 It's actually a really good marketing scheme. lol
You recovered the truck and trailer without making things worse and that's a win. Really interesting to see find out the side by side got down in the canyon before the experts got it out. Your subs button got a click.
TH-cam put this in my feed, and enjoying Matt's channel, I had to watch this, and your off the cuff recovery was very impressive. I think it's safe to say that a lot of things could have very easily gone very wrong, very quickly, Thank God nothing went wrong!!!!! Don't be too surprised if Matt offers you a job. BTW this video earned you another subscriber.
I too saw the recovery on Matt's channel was wondering how it got down the canyon glad everybody was okay new to your channel will be keeping an eye on it again good to know how it actually all happened
Honestly, no idea. If you look closely in the video, there is one big rock that gets wedged under the tire hanging off the cliff. I’m pretty sure that’s all that was saving it at the time.
Theres a saying we often use, 'improvise, adapt and overcome.' and that is exactly what you did here...and did well. So to claim your 'ambitious amatuers' status, I reckon was passed with flying colours. I watched Matt's version of the recovery originally, where another crash happened, when their drone took a nose dive down the trail... but the initial 'how did it get here? question has now been answered. Well done for the insight and for your own adapted recovery'
I always yank the break away cable for the trailer, locks the trailer breaks down. And Jacks under the rear of the trailer to keep the front lifting. Just for future reference.
A word of advice Cary a jackstand or two and place it under the end of the trailer to prevent what happened, the stand doesn’t need to touch the trailer but when it tips it only goes a inch or two. The alternative could have been the whole thing gone over thank god no one got hurt. 🙏🏻
You folks are green for sure. I have these chunks of wood i use. I know it is a pain to chock the wheels. Hard to believe a chunk of firewood could not only cook but save your bacon too.
I hope Matt is going to pin you command und the SxS recovery video so more people come here to watch the story before Matt's story ;-). To me it looks like this mistake was a very expensive one - do you have some numbers for us?
I hope so too! Thank you. The side-by-side was the only casualty which we were able to purchase used at a pretty good price so a few thousand dollars was off the table unfortunately.
Saw a person do the same thing at my place. His truck slid down my driveway about a 100 feet with a tractor hanging off the back of his trailer. I keep wheel chocks in my truck now. You just don't realize how easily it is to lift the back wheels off the ground.
@caseyladelle just mentioned in a video that this is why you always put tow vehicle in four low when loading or unloading, glad you were able to keep it from tumbling. Great job on the video.
Run a tow strap thru the left rear rim of the truck and pull it back on the road. You said you had a loader there of some sort, run a chain to it as a anchor point from the left recovery hook. Nice and slow
And that kids is why you ALWAYS use A wheelchalk on trailer so it cant roll also put your truck in 4x4 so if the back comes up it cant take off unfortunately this kind of thing happens a lot. Another great way to prevent this is but jacks on the back corners of the trailer so it cant Push down and lift the front of the trailer.And back of the truck off the ground

Thanks for showing us the back story.
Thanks for watching it!

It was nice to have this to go along with Matt's Recovery plus it was a very well done video on your part.
That is high praise! Thank you.
Here from the MORR video as well.
Nicely done video, good luck with your channel!
Thank you! I’m glad he came for the side-by-side because we’re clearly not that good at recovery.
@@AmbitiousAmateurs no, you just didn't have the tooling to recover the SXS. you were thorough in your chocking and blocking and the backhoe did what was needed to bring the truck back onto the road.
Here from MORR. Wanted to see the crash. Video didn't disappoint. Well done! Glad everyone is okay!
Thank you for watching!
Ambitious Amateurs off Road Recovery! I like it!❤
Thanks! It’d be a fun hobby for sure!
Backhoe operator was on point!
Glad we had him up there!
Glad no one was hurt and you guys were able to get the truck and trailer recovered before things got worse. Definitely was cool to see the client perspective from a Matt recovery video.
Yeah most of the time you don’t get the full perspective. Thanks for watching!
One rock saved that truck😅. I’m impressed you got the truck and trailer out of there safely
It was stressful but we’re glad everything worked out.
Im glad noone was injured during this event!
Me too! My dad was actually in the drivers seat when the back end went off the cliff. Super scary but best case scenario for a bad situation.
@@AmbitiousAmateurs yeah! Equipment is replaceable. Loved ones are not
Great farmer recovery! Nothing got broke (more) and nobody hurt and truck and trailer ended up on the road. Nice!
You got that right! Thanks for watching!
Came from watching MORR, glad you managed to get the truck and trailer recovered. Good job nobody was in the side by side.
Thanks!
Glad no one got injured. The side by side is replaceable or rebuildable. Great job.
Thank you!
Good job recovering with the equipment available. I also like your intro animation.
Thank you very much! It only took me about three days of drawing individual little pictures🤣
Good job self recovering the truck and trailer. 👍
Thanks 👍
Great job with the filming and editting! Simple and to the point.
Thank you! I appreciate that!
Like so many others, I had seen the MORR video recovering the sxs. I guess enough of the other MORR fans came over that it got this into my algorithm. Y'all did a great job recovering the truck and trailer.
Thanks for watching!
Wow. That could have been REAL bad! Glad it worked out OK for y'all
Thanks! Best case of a bad scenario.
Certainly the law of unintended consequences came into play here. Glad you are all safe. That side by side can be replaced.
Could have been a lot worse! Thank you!
I think you did a fine job! You had a well thought out plan and executed it as well as it could be done without specialized equipment.
Thank you! We took as many precautions as we could possibly think of.
Glad no one was in the side-by-side when it went for a wild ride!
We’re glad about that too!
Cage is good would just be paralyzed 😂😂 from the compression on your spine
@@skylermummert24 yeah that would’ve just been an extremely jostled fall!
@@AmbitiousAmateurs yeah glad everyone is okay
WOW that is crazy, thanks for sharing. here from MORR.
Thanks for coming
Always wonder how people get in those situations that Matt has to get them out of. So cool to see the whole story. I'll subscribe and watch your videos. Guve me something to do at work lol
Thank you!
Seeing how precarious and all that could have been lost, some one was looking out for you. Great video and recovery!
Thanks 👍

Possibly even add some stabilizer jacks to the rear of the trailer. Great video footage, and I'm very glad no one was hurt!!
Absolutely! Thanks for watching.
unforseeable? I don't think so, it's common knowledge in excavation/hauling field that you chock your trailers when loading and unloading ALWAYS!
seems like it did have stabilizer jacks 5:30
Always put the tow rig in 4wd when loading/unloading on uneven ground. So glad this didn’t go any worse for you guys.
I just watched Matt's offroad recovery video of your side by side. Talk about a stressful recovery.
Totally!
Saw the recovery on Matt's channel! You guys did awesome getting the truck/trailer back on the road. Thanks to all that assisted. Now I wonder if you have given Matt the idea to build an off road backhoe? Super happy no one was hurt.
Awesome! Thank you!
That is crazy. Glad your guardian Angel kept truck on the road!
Glad all worked out! Plus bonus traffic from MOOR!

Scary situation. Fantastic job getting that back on the road. Glad everyone is okay!
Thank you!
Coming from MORR looking for MORE on this story.
Crazy on how things get to be. So awsome no one was hurt.
God Bless.

Thank you for watching! Stay tuned for some more cool things coming up.
Wow, was not expecting such great footage. Super sketchy situation. 😅
Thanks for watching!
Hear from Matt's video That was impressive.
You need to do an explanation video on how the trailer lifted the back of the truck up You have trailer rear stabilizers were they not in use?
Did you not use wheel chucks on the front tires of the truck or the trailer tires?
Did you not set the emergency brake?
Did you not put the truck in four-wheel drive if equipped?
We need to know how not to do this in the future 😂
I'm glad no one got hurt! 👍
Good idea!
Wow that was sketchy, glad no one was hurt , we always put the truck in 4x4 when unloading for that exact reason!I’ve seen it happen even on pavement!
Yeah we’re definitely going to do that if there is a next time.
My brother rolled his excavator when his big truck took off loading the excavator the truck stopped when the excavator rolled off the trailer when he grabbed the ground to try to stop the truck and trailer. No injuries and alot of highlift jacking and pulling really hard with a chain and my little 4x4 toyota got it back upright! Your situation was way more sketchy! Good job saveing it

I just wondered over here from Matt's channel. Great job on your videos, they are well done and hope you do well with your channel.
Thank you so much!
Truck looks like it 4x4 so when loading and unloading put truck in 4x4 so the front sits still if the back raises up.
The use of the backhoe to move the trailer while still connected to the truck was Spot-On!. I do not know if you normally use support stands or blocks of timber/wood under the rear of the trailer when loading &/or off loading equipment but it would be recommended. I used to haul equipment for many years ago and we always used supports. It eliminates the trailer "teetering'" when weight shifts at the rear, resulting in the lift at the towing vehicle.

I’ll give you a quarter for that! Thanks for watching!

@@AmbitiousAmateurs was the recovery and so on covered by an insurance?

Here from morr!

Always engage 4x4 when unloading your trailer.
nice recovery
Thank you!
well done, great video
Thanks!
And that kids is why you ALWAYS use A wheelchalk on trailer so it cant roll also put your truck in 4x4 so if the back comes up it cant take off unfortunately this kind of thing happens a lot. Another great way to prevent this is but jacks on the back corners of the trailer so it cant Push down and lift the front of the trailer.And back of the truck off the ground
Well done.
Thanks!
1:31 I am just wondering, why were they trying to unload the mini excavator in the middle of that mountain road in the first place?
I imagine there was one other casualty that was not mentioned, a pair of shorts that probably won't every be the same if not already thrown out. :)
Hah yeah we should probably start a go fund me for a new pair!😅
Wow that's sketchy, Italian Job-esque. Glad everyone was okay, and it's cool seeing the behind the scenes for how it happened.
