Ronn your parents must have Ben very smart😅for you to be so nice toevery body you work with .I am in north Georgia lived here all my life .i am 84 years old. And never seen a man as nice as you are .brother you are my moto😊😊.🎉
Nice easy job, although we all know you could've done this all by yourself, at night, in the rain, with traffic zipping by, and the generator having tumbled on fire down a steep embankment into a raging river with crocodiles snapping at your heels. ;-)
now don't get me wrong, it makes perfect sense to lift those steps with the tator, BUT I couldn't help but think it's like swatting a fly with a sledgehammer... LOL
I once used a 450 ton hydraulic crane to lift two straps I carried to the hook over my shoulder. The alternative was lifting them 120 feet with a rope, so why not?
Ron getting all "cavalier" with that one - he didn't even check to see if he was in the "safe area" or not, or how close he was to maximum capacity. LOL I think he's done lifts where the chains weighed more than those steps.
Hey Mr.Pratt. My name is James, I am 16. I live in Oregon, and I really, really enjoy watching you work. What you do is... beyond what I could do! What I'm trying to say is, good job and keep up the good work!
Glad you could impress the guys on this job. No overhead wiring, just a generator to pick up and send off for them. Great job, and hoping you have a wonderful week!! God bless you all!!!
Thank you, Ron, great video, and Woo-Hoo, with a shout out to one of the Tennessee Valley's big machine manufacturers, MILLER INDUSTRIES! Miller Industries are from my neck of the woods. I loved this.
Am always impressed with the carefulness and precision taken to make sure everything is done right with safety always in mind. As the man said "Very professional."
Nice little video. David is really great. The chemistry between you two is something to watch. He seems almost like an extension of yourself, almost always in the right place doing the right thing. I'm sure a lot of us would love to hear a little bit about his background. Wishing you and all of the Midwest Truck family a safe and happy Resurrection weekend. Ray
A very cool job to show the public more of what this awesome machine can do...as well as what an excellent operator can do with the best equipment out there. Will continue to keep you, your family and your crew in my prayers for safety in all things. God Bless Ron!
Looked like a fun job with a skilled crew... Always good to see everyone willing to lend a hand when needed, and stay away when needed too.... Hope you all keep safe as always.
Loved this! my dad was in 'the Corp' in Belgium and Germany in WWII. Love the symbol on all of their attire. Gret job and as always you make it look easy (not simple!), Very professional!
What a breath of fresh air, watching.someone that is a master of his craft. As a bonus, you got yourself one young man that just wants to learn, Watch the clip where you turn off the main road and head to the site and watch the eagerness in your helpers face.
I wonder if the brass got shown this vid as a "hey we need one of the trucks, here is why." LOL.... It is really impressive seeing that her lift everything from a fully loaded fire truck to a side of a storm system..... Just love seeing all the wonderful jobs you take us to..... Thank you Ron for sharing this with us, its a real treat. Even after watching this a second time year later, just as much of a joy to watch as the first time seeing it :)
I so enjoy how you work with people. I worked heavy equipment for years. I automatically look for safety concerns - "Are tires good"? - great question - I was concerned with the load capacity of the trailer - and when they drove off without securing the load. I guess once it's their responsibility (on the trailer - they own it!) Ron, stay safe during the virus epidemic and thanks for taking the time and effort to process these wonderful video's.
Great video Ron working with the men that builds and keeps everything going for the Army. I trained as a bulldozer operator in the Army, but then was put in a Supply and transportation company and drove a truck the rest of my time in the Army. Stay safe and God bless you and our military and medical professionals and law enforcement in this time we are going through.
I cant say this enuff. I love your content. its family friendly, it teaches as well and u are there for your community. your an all around stand up guy and I wish there were more TH-camrs out there like u. keep doin what u do much love and I pray you and your family stay safe and healthy with all that's goin on rite now
Love the thorough and very necessary safety briefing. It was obvious you were working with curious educated professionals. As is typical with a Federal project, there is at least a half dozen personnel assigned to a two person job. BTW, I believe that generator could be a Kato Engineering unit made here in Mankato, MN, and only powered by Cat. Pulling 300,000 pounds of resistance would require some hellacious wire rope to have a good safety margin!
I have a 60 KW Katolight generator with an automatic transfer switch on an environmental lab building. Mine has a 350 ci V-8 GM natural gas powered engine. I'm in Western North Carolina. Katolight started off making power takeoff generators for the farming industry.
Being the best in your field of work, you never have to worry about bad reviews on social media. ☺ Nice to see some people doing a safety briefing before starting the job. Should be normal for every high risk job like this.
Hey Ron. I'm a retired Civil Engineer. Did you know the term Civil Engineer come from the group of civilian engineers that worked for the Corp of Engineers. I guess that makes you sort of a Civil Engineer. Welcome aboard.
Listen to Ron bragging about what his winch can do. This thing is precise. can pop a top off a beer can. And drink it. Good job Ron. Safety meetings haha what a formality.
Ah Yes Generators... Now you are working in my wheel house!!! I more or less just do repairs and maintenance, but have moved 1-300 in my life time!!! Spreader bars are the way to move these with way better success! Nice work Ron, you and the Tator have become one!!!
You are always so nice to your customers. We get stuck a lot because we are working on muddy construction sites. Our heavy duty wrecker guy always acts like he is mad about it every time we call him.
Rarely do I leave comments, but. I recently watched two videos of a different towing company (pepe towing service) I was wholly unimpressed. The blatant disregard for the safety of his team left me waiting for something bad to happen. His assistant behind a suspended load on a forty-five degree slope or his people walking back and forth right beside a 40+k suspended cement truck. Totally cringe worthy. My Point, you ask? Thank God For You Ron! You always put safety first and not just your own people, everybody. Safety of personnel, safety of equipment, care of your customers property. Your videos are great to watch and most times educational as well. Keep doing what you do and in the fullness of time, Saint Peter will welcome you home. Salute. ppcli 4 life.
i watched that too, with traffic cops (CHP) wandering around close to a cable hauling a car up a cliff .His use of a drone to survey that job was interesting though.
I have watched a couple of other tow company videos and Ron has me totally spoiled with safety and customer service. The other videos had the primary operator laughing at his assistant, degrading the customer, and generally operating unprofessionally. Ron Pratt is the ideal towing and/or recovery pro that I want if I ever find myself in need of such services. I don't travel SE MO much, so I will probably have to hope for his clone!
Great job as always Ron! When you said that it was at a decommissioned lock and dam, I knew exactly where you were. I have been watching the Olmstead IL lock and dam project for years and knew this was at lock #53. I'm a google maps geek and knew right where to look. Again, great job!
Nice job, out side the usual call. Worked with the Corps of Engineers on the east coast in NC on the inner coastal waterway number of years back. Some great guys there. Be safe and have a good day.
Good morning, Ron. The information you were given was much heavier than what the actual weight ended up being, which, from rigging standpoint, is a very good plus. Of course, better safe than sorry is a mandate in my book. Also, David is learning from the best teacher, who is willing to help show what has been learned from experience.
If I lived in Ron's area I would for sure try to get a job with him. I love his professional, get it done attitude all with safety in mine. He takes the extra time to do it right and he also has the patience of a Saint. I would love to work with him.
Ron, I do believe you impressed those gentlemen. lol David is going to be a fine addition to your team I do believe and the Army Corps of Engineers will be calling you once again because they love working with professionals like yourself.
Ya, having good people to work with makes it a whole lot more enjoyable! Nice Job! -- Like it each time you say, Thanks, and God Bless! You don't hear that much anymore!!! stay safe my friend and brother!
Morning workout, LOL. Well Ron, rest assured: that rotator will never grow fat or lazy, the way you're working her. But then again she does looks like she's getting a lot of care and attention in return. A very nice video as always, keep up the good work and blessings to you.
Great how you could put that down so precisely that the man was able to drop the bolt into the hole to link it to the trailer! As huge as that machine is, you can be as delicate with it as a surgeon with his scalpel
Hey, at least the job never gets old, some new everytime. Keep yourself and your guys safe. Thanks for the free entertainment in our boring time of lock down. 👍
Love that you kept the safety briefing in there the callouts for small moves may seem overkill but someone has probally gone to the hospital for hitting their arm on a hanging clevis or hook while not being alert
There is a saying common to jobs where there is danger “all if these rules were written in blood.” The blood of the person who discovered that something was a bad idea.
Sir Ron !! GREAT video !!! Only thing that will change in these times will be NO MORE shaking Hands & closer than 6 ft apart !!! Bad times ahead , but WE will make it thru this to go onto NEWER ADVENTURES !!! ""KEEP IT SAFE ""!!!!!
Those synthetic loop straps are really great. We used to hold down the nose of a Boeing 747 with just one of them while we loaded freight through the rear main deck cargo door. They were a hell of a lot easier to install than the huge tail stand that came with the airplane.
It is, but the pedestal is a fuel tank, so there is weight at the bottom as well, which helps offset the high center of gravity. Thanks for watching and God bless.
Another good video Ron to start the weekend off with another easy job for the Tator good to see David looks like he becoming a good crew member. Ron hope you and your family and the Midwest crew are staying safe and have a good and safe weekend
I had to laugh when you lifted the steps into the truck. Four guys could have tossed that thing in there in 30 seconds. I think they were just having fun by that point. Boys and their toys! Thanks for providing a needed distraction during these trying times Ron.
Thanks Ron always enjoy when we can have a fun visit. You would think them boys would be a bit more prepared like four bolts , maybe on next check list. Thanks for taking us with.
Truly appreciate your notes to us that you filmed prior to the COVOD-19 debacle. That might remind some of those "10-percenters" who don't seem to think these precautions apply to them. Well done, Ron et al.
There sure were a lot of guys" helping" out on this one. I think most of them were more curious than helping though. I know I would love to watch the action unfold. This is the first time I have ever seen the Ohio river, even from a distance. I had to laugh when you said you liked lots of pictures. Great job as always.
Man I love the truck and you sure got the guys all mesmerized with it too. They wanted you to stick around lifting the steps just for fun, because it is so fun!
Great to see the rotator again good to see David still with you as all ways you and your family and team stay safe and well in these horrid times some thing to look forward to in lockdown UK
Why hire a crane Call Ron &"The Tator" Very interesting Ron More like Please I think the guys on site very impressed and enjoyed watching you work as much as we do David looks to be settling in ok
Enjoyed this video being a Caterpillar (Solar Turbines) retiree we always had safety meetings ahead of jobs. I was actually the employee who kept the documentation and there sure was a lot of it.
The side shot while extending the boom, when the cables pulled the hooks up and rolled the slightly, I thought, "Dang, it looks like a big ole praying mantis!"
Ron sure has put the truck to good use...... I would love to hear the reaction of some of the floor line staff seeing some of the vids like Ron helping the FD load a broken down fire truck at a fire call (after the fire is out) or lifting some of the rail-road's rail layer/checker units...
Ron Pratt did I like this you better know I did I heard you say that you do work in side of a building wow that's great I would love to see that it is all so interesting. Thanks for the nice video be blessed with loving care and grace.
As I look around that reservation it looks like a neat place to live. Perhaps that's why they're moving the generator set out of there so they can auction it off.
Good Morning My Good Friend Ron Pratt Sir & God Bless You & All Of You're Whole Family Today & Have A Great & Blessed Day Today From You're Good Friend Timbo White
Ron, another great video and angrier great job, love watching the jobs you get into, stay safe you your employees and tour families, looking forward to more videos in the future,,,,,

Nice easy job, although we all know you could've done this all by yourself, at night, in the rain, with traffic zipping by, and the generator having tumbled on fire down a steep embankment into a raging river with crocodiles snapping at your heels. ;-)
Very Funny! All though not completely correct. I do not know about the Crocodiles part.
That seems like a fun time :)
LOL
+overhead powerlines.
Love it.....thank you. I don't think I would have enjoyed the job quite as much under those conditions though..... Thanks for watching and God bless.
now don't get me wrong, it makes perfect sense to lift those steps with the tator, BUT I couldn't help but think it's like swatting a fly with a sledgehammer... LOL
Strap on a seatbelt modify the electric motor and you eother have a very fun ride or a quick way to the emergency room
A better analogy would be an elephant lifting a twig with it's trunk to put it in it's mouth! :D
I once used a 450 ton hydraulic crane to lift two straps I carried to the hook over my shoulder. The alternative was lifting them 120 feet with a rope, so why not?

Did you watch "Just a Little Quickie" where he did an impromptu intro of David?
Funny how serious it was in the beginning which I know it needs to be to laughing and joking in the end.
That was worth 5 ticks.
A very cool job to show the public more of what this awesome machine can do...as well as what an excellent operator can do with the best equipment out there. Will continue to keep you, your family and your crew in my prayers for safety in all things. God Bless Ron!
Very nice that you had an opportunity to serve those who serve us.
Love these Army guys nerding out over the rig
Looked like a fun job with a skilled crew... Always good to see everyone willing to lend a hand when needed, and stay away when needed too.... Hope you all keep safe as always.

Love that you included the safety meeting.
Thank you Ron for sharing this, and pray for the Army Corps for wisdom and protection during this time
What an incredible piece of equipment. This is the perfect video to show off the capabilities of the rotator.
You are always so nice to your customers. We get stuck a lot because we are working on muddy construction sites. Our heavy duty wrecker guy always acts like he is mad about it every time we call him.
Great lift working with the Army Corps of Engineers. You & Dave now had your Safety Briefing for the year.
You have the perfect touch and every job you do shows a conscientiousness that people appreciate.
As always, professionally, thoroughly and safely done. The rapport is always great. Stay safe and well. Blessings to all from Ohio.
Ron, Thank You for the video. It's great to have something new to watch these days.
Stay safe and well my friend.
God Bless you and your team.
Always glad to meet a traveling man searching for more light. Here in Massachusetts we don’t use our grandmothers number.
What's this - no mud, no ditches, no overhead powerlines, no trucks whizzing past 3" away? Easy one!

I always try and google map locations and I still can't find this one.
It was neat to see the trust develop. Stiff at first then relaxed as time went on.
17:18 That sweet sound we all know and love.
I like that your company can do more than towing and recovery. The "odd jobs" make a nice mix.
Nice job, out side the usual call. Worked with the Corps of Engineers on the east coast in NC on the inner coastal waterway number of years back. Some great guys there. Be safe and have a good day.

Rotator Ron needs to start his rotator school out there cause he's the best rotator man in the industry in my opinion of it here
@@jamesburke5709 Hate to break it to you James but your opinion is shared by a lot of us here. Myself included!
I'm guessing that there's a fuel tank in the base and the given weight was with a full fuel load.
@@David-mo4st One would be a fool not to take a shot at learning from Ron's crew... Knowing they even cross train with the fire departments...

One can (or used to) make rank fairly quickly in the US Army.
US Army Artillery B Btry 4th BN 4th FA Ft. Sill, OK '84-'86
Besides the amount of stuff he get's packed in that thing, you're right! :) It all proves to be useful at it's time though.
As always, thanks to you Ron for making the video and show to us !
Great how you could put that down so precisely that the man was able to drop the bolt into the hole to link it to the trailer! As huge as that machine is, you can be as delicate with it as a surgeon with his scalpel
another good video looks like great place to park rv relax and fish
Hey, at least the job never gets old, some new everytime. Keep yourself and your guys safe. Thanks for the free entertainment in our boring time of lock down. 👍
The "school of resistance" is one of my favorites. (Stuck single axle dump truck by house).
that's one where the dump truck was so badly stuck it dragged the tator down the road.
God Bless.. Just starting to watch this video. Starting out the evening.
Love that you kept the safety briefing in there the callouts for small moves may seem overkill but someone has probally gone to the hospital for hitting their arm on a hanging clevis or hook while not being alert
There is a saying common to jobs where there is danger “all if these rules were written in blood.” The blood of the person who discovered that something was a bad idea.
Very true in all ways, taking 1 extra second can mean the difference between living and dying or injury
This is where having a couple taper punches or cable fidds (tool for splicing wire rope) comes in real handy. May you and yours stay safe & health.
I like how all those guys were cool with being filmed.
Sir Ron !! GREAT video !!! Only thing that will change in these times will be NO MORE shaking Hands & closer than 6 ft apart !!! Bad times ahead , but WE will make it thru this to go onto NEWER ADVENTURES !!! ""KEEP IT SAFE ""!!!!!
Those synthetic loop straps are really great. We used to hold down the nose of a Boeing 747 with just one of them while we loaded freight through the rear main deck cargo door. They were a hell of a lot easier to install than the huge tail stand that came with the airplane.
That genset is top heavy. The rig driver better be REAL careful! You did the usual top notch job.
It is, but the pedestal is a fuel tank, so there is weight at the bottom as well, which helps offset the high center of gravity. Thanks for watching and God bless.
They said it had fuel. But how much? A third full would be a good balance.
Another good video Ron to start the weekend off with another easy job for the Tator good to see David looks like he becoming a good crew member. Ron hope you and your family and the Midwest crew are staying safe and have a good and safe weekend
I just love the army core’s safety meetings. At least you didn’t have to do stretches.
Great video, getting up and eating breakfast. Pictures are worth a thousand words.
Hours of planning, lots of helpers, and Ron's heavy equipment. NOW, who forgot the bolts?
I had to laugh when you lifted the steps into the truck. Four guys could have tossed that thing in there in 30 seconds. I think they were just having fun by that point. Boys and their toys! Thanks for providing a needed distraction during these trying times Ron.
Great video and explanation of the entire process. Enjoyed very much.
Be Safe
i dont tow, truck, or anything, but these are so oddly satisfying to watch.
Thanks Ron always enjoy when we can have a fun visit. You would think them boys would be a bit more prepared like four bolts , maybe on next check list.
Thanks for taking us with.
Ron, that was the kind of lift planning and operation that keeps folks out of trouble. Impressive.
Truly appreciate your notes to us that you filmed prior to the COVOD-19 debacle. That might remind some of those "10-percenters" who don't seem to think these precautions apply to them. Well done, Ron et al.
High five there rotator Ron another professional job done there now have a great day now too
I hope that you and the family have a great Easter weekend out there now too
There sure were a lot of guys" helping" out on this one. I think most of them were more curious than helping though. I know I would love to watch the action unfold. This is the first time I have ever seen the Ohio river, even from a distance. I had to laugh when you said you liked lots of pictures. Great job as always.
Man I love the truck and you sure got the guys all mesmerized with it too. They wanted you to stick around lifting the steps just for fun, because it is so fun!
nice job , i like the video with no hurry but nice and slow thanks for sharing, greeting from The Netherlands and happy Eastern
David seems to be a good worker and smart. A keeper
Good Day Mr Ron the day starts with a Safety briefing procedure prior to lift. Good practice safety Always. Thank you n God bless you. Team
Great to see the rotator again good to see David still with you as all ways you and your family and team stay safe and well in these horrid times some thing to look forward to in lockdown UK
Why hire a crane Call Ron &"The Tator" Very interesting Ron More like Please I think the guys on site very impressed and enjoyed watching you work as much as we do David looks to be settling in ok
cheaper then a crain
It depends on the application. For example, one would not want to use a tow truck for weeks on a construction site.
It's been a long while since I've seen a water tower like that. Have a blessed and safe week.
Enjoyed this video being a Caterpillar (Solar Turbines) retiree we always had safety meetings ahead of jobs. I was actually the employee who kept the documentation and there sure was a lot of it.
Nice easy job for a change Ron, saying that you and your team make any of your Jobs look easy great to watch stay safe my friend
The side shot while extending the boom, when the cables pulled the hooks up and rolled the slightly, I thought, "Dang, it looks like a big ole praying mantis!"
It’s nice to see the trucks we build here in Ooltewah Tennessee at Miller Industries putting in work. Im happy to see you like your rig. 👍
Ron sure has put the truck to good use...... I would love to hear the reaction of some of the floor line staff seeing some of the vids like Ron helping the FD load a broken down fire truck at a fire call (after the fire is out) or lifting some of the rail-road's rail layer/checker units...
I hate to say it but reminds me of at work. We never knew what we needed to move around.
Fri lunch and yet another video clip from our favourite presenter
