Too often we only hear the negative in life. Too much criticism. Too much hatred and discord. I try to give positive praise when it is warranted. It helps build confidence, which, in turn, makes a better employee. Thanks and God bless.
If a boss compliments you on a good job, then when you do something wrong it doesn't come off as being nit picky because you can take it as constructive criticism. The wrong stuff will make you learn to do it right.
*public service announcement....... No trees were harmed n the filming of this video, Ron is a pro woohoo... Do NOT try this at home folks, always call a pro. Love you guys :)
You are amazing, Ron. You took that car and put it back on its tires with nary a scratch beyond what it already had. Wow! I found myself wondering how in the heck the thieves had gotten that car down into that gully, upside down. I hope they were eventually caught.
A lot of roads are like that in this area. I have to be extremely cautious when driving on some of our county roads. Thanks for watching and God bless.
Noticed the tags - someone drove that quite a distance! Amazed how it fit through the trees there perfectly. No wonder nobody found it until now. At least the engine will be good - bet the cylinders were full to the brim with oil. Impressive how far of a reach you get and can still pick that car up! That rotator never ceases to amaze me! 😎 Thanks for posting, Ron! God bless.
Funny you should mention the reach and lift capacity. I'm currently edited a video where I used the Rotator and worked with a crane to set some heavy concrete culverts with the booms under overhead power lines. The culverts weighed around 39,000 lbs each. I was working off the back corner with the boom fully extended and at low elevation, which was pushing the tip (rollover) limits of my truck. I should have that video posted in the next couple of weeks. Thanks and God bless.
Ron - Wow, this was your best. It really showed what a skilled operator can do with a very cool piece of equipment. I have watched other rotator truck companies you win all counts.
Love seeing how you can "finesse" moving things around with that rotator! I know it can be nerve-wracking, but I could have a lot of fun doing that too! Excellent work, Mike and Ron. 👍👍👏😊
Great recovery as always, and I love the way you express your faith and religious values. God bless you always. Prayers for your safety and well being daily.
When you mentioned the “good little incline” watch how the terrain sneaks up and flattens out at the 3:51 mark, quite the incline indeed! Awesome video as usual.
Wow, you'd never see that just driving by (as far as I can tell)! I'd say it had been there for a week (or two), judging by the leaves on the underside. I think it's amazing how long Woven-Wire (and Barb-Wire) fence lasts. I can still get hung-up in it, when hunting on US Army Corps of Engineer's land, at Truman Lake (it's been what, nearly 60 years since the Corps bought all of that farmland?). Definition of "road", in Missouri: A space between 2 trees, wide enough to fit a vehicle (I firmly adhere to this definition, being a Jeep Owner) :) I always like how CAREFUL you are with a wrecked vehicle, even though it's more than likely a TOTAL LOSS. Professionalism and Perfectionism are the only 2 words I can use to describe you, Ron Pratt.
Another zero impact recovery. All safe and no bad language uttered. God speed. From an ex-recovery operator (30) years. Now medically redundant. I find your videos relaxing and bring happy memories back, with a tinge of sadness that I can no longer perform a passion. Which was a salaried profession and in my own time hobby. motorsport heavy recovery and rescue.
Personally I don't miss the call-outs in the dark with either sleet or heavy snow coming down. or fishing them out of the river with ice blocks floating by. The sunny Sunday afternoons snaking them out of the bush redirecting with snatch blocks was fun though.
Great video Ron!! I like the multiple views with the different cameras. It amazes me that that vehicle sat there for that amount of time. Apparently the people who drive that road don't look in the ditches. I find all kinds of stuff ditch looking while I drive. Keep up the great work and God Bless!!
Well that went smooooooth as silk. Of course we expect nothing less from our favourite fisherman, sorry, Wreck Whisperer. You always make it look so easy. I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving over there across the Pond. God bless you and yours Ron, from a grey, dismal and windy Scotland.
A precision piece of work Ron, fascinating to watch. No damage caused, not even to the dead tree - amazing. I would have been very easy to make a real mess during the recovery but, I would imagine, there would be no evidence of your visit. I was surprised there was no visible sign of the accident; skid marks, mud etc. or did you tidy them up?
Your s class act Ron, I'm a Boom operator myself , run a Hiab 500 with 46 ft reach , must say your a real good operator with very smooth skills . I can certainly tell you take pride in your work and job .
Not once in my life would I thin i'd see a Rouge being tossed around in trees like a toy. Not saying this in a bad way, your truck is just a beast 😂 you did good at getting it out
That SUV been there a while. Hard to believe there wasn't any destruction of property at the time of accident that someone didn't notice back then. Vehicle didn't have near damage as would of thought either. Almost like someone put it there with tow truck like Tator. Great job by u & Mike. God Bless
The Deputy: "put it back, see if I can get it out!!" Ron: "if your drawers are cleaner than mine, after a job like this, you're hired!! AND DONT SCRATCH MY TRUCK!!"
You know your stuff, that is for sure. I was surprised that the car did not look in too bad shape once back on its own wheels, but the mold inside is not good.
Great interesting vid as always surprising how little damage was caused before you got there all side windows looked intact but the mold goes to show it did get water logged at some point. Upto that point I was thinking it wouldnt be hard to repair this one unlike most you get.
Anybody else expect something else, when you read the title?? Tator Fishing! Made me hungry, just seeing!! All we needed was some tartar sauce, hush puppies, and some sweet tea!!
Thanks Ron another great video. And explaining the situation on the lights. Hope you and your family had a great turkey day. And have a very merry Christmas to all frends and family.
@@karenk7310 My guess is a relatively new car before it was stolen and it's been in the ditch upside-down for at least a week or 2, so any rain storms that came through would be washing the bottom rather than the top of the car.
your videos are first class you rig is top notch i spent 40 years on mobile cranes doing all sorts of jobs and would love to spend a day with you on a job but its a little to far im in the uk
Another fine example of things going right, at least for your part. I had an interesting move this week. Drill rig going to an auction facility. 53' long, 9' wide, 10' forward projection. Tandem steering axles. 104,000 lbs. 18 speeds, and almost always had to use every one. What was supposed to be a one day move turned into three, and I was ill prepared for that. In short, it broke down 27 miles from the pickup location. They managed to pull start it and we got it back to their shop, but at one point I was starting to wonder what kind of rig would be needed to tow it. That 10' forward projection would have made it a challenge.
Bro, I drove a tractor trailer thru the N. GA, Mtns for 15 years. Up ad down thru the steep inclines / declines / switch backs. Treacherous roads .All weather conditions. I never had a problem. I just took it safely and with the LORD and His Angels watching over me. I never had a problem !! Thank You JESUS !! HooAh !!
Wow, nice job! Mike did the rigging perfectly, and you did the snakeout and flip perfectly Ron. Made it look easy, too. Thanks for the boom cam footage. Does the truck have it's own fishing license? Lol.
When I was driving a wrecker in the mid-1980s, I was unfamiliar with the term "widowmakers" too. Also, when I was doing this sort of thing, we didn't have the cool toys (remote control) on a rotating boom. I did have a coworker who was teaching his dog to operate the winch controls on a Holmes 440, though...
What did we do without the rotator! We had more scratches !!!!!!!! Great Job as always! God Bless and stay safe! Say hi to Mike for me! I've been hit by a widow maker! Knocked me out for a bit! 4" rotten Birch topping! Most of the time you don't hear em coming! Thanks guys! Who answers all your questions! Say thanks to your wife and family! They are the behind the scenes people who don't get all the thanks!
26:38 "We do not stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing." - Ben Franklin Nice catch! #Carfish Stay safe and God bless! :-)
Ron, I don't know if I've ever seen a guy enjoy his work as much as you.
Great job Mike. I love when you praise your employees. More employers need to do this.
Too often we only hear the negative in life. Too much criticism. Too much hatred and discord. I try to give positive praise when it is warranted. It helps build confidence, which, in turn, makes a better employee. Thanks and God bless.
Like threading a slick thread through a needle. I'm impressed.
Ron, you are such a professional at any job you do.love watching your videos.
I am always in awe at the power of that boom and the truck itself. Good work.
The Amazing RonPratt! No trees cut. No scratches on the car. All participants survived.
We absolutely just love the speeded up version at the end guys...! Nice work...!
Thank you for the language you use. Good and clean. I like the way you say God bless you at the end of the show🙏
My favorite part of this video was you praising Mike on a job well done. Too few bosses show appreciation for doing a job right. Kudos'!
So true. If all a boss does is offer criticisms they destroy moral quickly.
I have two bosses that tell me thank you and good job all the time it's a good feeling
If a boss compliments you on a good job, then when you do something wrong it doesn't come off as being nit picky because you can take it as constructive criticism. The wrong stuff will make you learn to do it right.

I didn't realize your boom was on rails and could move side to side. 31:11 Awesome rig! Awesome job.
Great job Ron and Mike. It is amazing that you make difficult recoveries look so simple!
Sir Ron !!! Another good video as my Wife was impressed as to how Mike & You got it out of the trees without hurting it more !! KEEP IT SAFE !!!
That road looks like one way. I would not want to meet a big rig tow truck coming the other way on the turn. Great job Ron & Mike.
A lot of roads are like that in this area. I have to be extremely cautious when driving on some of our county roads. Thanks for watching and God bless.
Impressive how you rolled it over on the ground without anymore damage
I love how the rotator treats cars like there matchbox toys good recovery Ron keep up the good work and god bless u and ur family

Hi Ron Awesome recovery that rotator is something else and knowing how to rig it is half the battle. Great Job guys. Joe from Long island NY

Hey Ron, that's one fine fishin pole you got yourself! 😂
Good Job Ron & Mike. & No Power Poles!
Thanks for the extra boom and cab footage! Stay safe out there this winter.
That was beautiful Mike! Good rigging! You too Ron, as always on the controls. Thank you for sharing
Better entertainment then anything on TV on a Friday night.

Wales is just the same!
No trees damaged but it scared the heck out of the squirrels😳
A good operator, good equipment, good communication, lots of patience, and most of all, diligence for safety.
Great job Ron and Mike that's about a 4 to 5 thousand pound catch there, definitely the biggest one I've seen come out of the woods
Hey Rotator Ron! Respectable rogue removal rotator recovery!
Really

@@zalmaflash damn beat me to it ... rats ... haha
well executed alliteration :)
lol!!
Thank you Ron it’s good to see a Christian make decent video’s my GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY, FRIENDS ANE EMPLOYEE’S
I'm glad you take that mold seriously. I can tell pretty much instantly if a building has a mold issue as I tend to stop breathing well.

Good morning Ron great job of fishing the car through the trees. Have a great day and be safe out there
Ron: Watch out for widow makers. Mike: .............(blank stare) lol 😂
😂I literally said "what's that ron" then he explained it I feel like I'm there lol
This is very true. Mike has some of the best facial expressions.
That term, widow makers, was always on fallers minds in Humboldt County California
Great recovery in a very tricky conditions. If it’s not over head power lines it’s trees
I never get tired of watching this channel. Great video thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching and God bless.
Great job Ron & Mike. God bless you.
Absolutly love how u work the scenes great work stay safe
Just have to say this i love the music toward the end of the video God Bless this Man and his Family!

What a ride the car took and looked like it was minamal for the ride it had. Tator is worth every penny.
You know it's a 3/4 of a million dollar truck that recovered a $10,000 vehicle which should be totalled? Lol
My best to those hurt today and to the continuing safety of you and yours Ron.
Not once in my life would I thin i'd see a Rouge being tossed around in trees like a toy. Not saying this in a bad way, your truck is just a beast 😂 you did good at getting it out
Another job well done,you guys make it look easy!!
that was awesome! great work guys! always enjoy seeing tator in action!
You made that look easy. 👍 Stay safe Ron.
Love the way you express your faith.

Great job, I notice no over head power lines, just trees branches. Great video, I love watching your videos.
I'm amazed that had so little damage, what a good job of rigging & fishing with the Rotator!
I was also amazed at how little damage was done compared to the ride the vehicle took. Thanks for the compliment and God bless.
