RECOVERING A FRENCH TRUCK
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 23 ม.ค. 2024
- A fellow follower of the channel contacted me for some advice with his French BERLIET cargo truck that was stuck deep in wet mud on a farm.
Me and the gang went over with the Foden to Investigate.
After a successful recovery, it was time for a steak down the local pub. - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ
Will give you a call if my stepsister is stuck in the washing machine again
She sounds like a dirty thing
Is she one of those faa…….”husky” ones?
not again lol
😅
Wind noise what wind.. ? Oh that sound, normal for us Prairie Canadians.
Forget about wind noise, it’s content that matters and I’d much prefer to watch 10 of yours with noise than slickly produced garbage. City people will never understand just how wet and muddy the countryside is
Well said.
Honestly didn’t even notice it. You’re absolutely right. Lived in the mountains my whole life. Always hear it
So true. Wind noteable but didn't detract. This was a great video. Even the Golf enjoyed it!
What's the countryside? Is there one in London?
Зачем мяукаете.?😊
What a magnificent endorsement of the Foden. It did everything asked of it and won the day.
Proud to be ingerlish
No kidding. Has me conviced to find the US version and get it "just in case".
@@AdamBrownKC, I think they have one of those too?
@@AdamBrownKCfrom my experience the only thing that comes close to a foden is the scammell explorer wrecker .
Fodens are solid
Adam looks like the kind of guy that you can have an entire conversation with him without him having spoken a single word, his facial expressions more than suffice for speaking. Thanks for another great upload.
He could be the son of that guy in Hot Fuzz with all the guns.
The MIGHTY FODEN💪💪💪 does it again! Worth its weight in gold. Great video as always.
I calculate 23.5 tonnes to be worth approximately £1.2 Billion, so I think you're a bit over.
Mr Hewes and a Workshop wednesday in one morning. Great start to the day.
I’m off there when this finishes 😂😂
me too
look up " Lottie the tank whisperer "
And Lottie in Oz 👍 great Wednesday
me too , ooRoo
the moment the recovery team teaches you what 'diff lock' is for at the end of it all
🤣🤣
Serious for a moment, it's nice to see Joe have respect for lines under tension...even if seemingly everyone else around him does not. They're probably one of the few things we see him work with that can sorta just instantly end you if they fail, and there is no time to react once they do, it's just physics at that point. Of all the things to show that little extra bit of caution and genuine safety care for I'd probably pick that too.
Their respect for safety standards in general is dismal, but there are a couple - like working around cables under tension - that scare the shite out of me. They cowboy far too many things and it's going to come back to haunt them one day, especially given they are frequently working with delapidated piles of crap. I've seen someone cut in half by a cable snapping and it ain't fvcking pretty.
@@iatsd Oh shut up Victor Meldrew, Go finish your times crossword, Right after you've finished washing your recycling for the bin..
@@zerocool278quite a few bellends like you 6ft under!
How can you tell me about safety when you allowed someone to get killed in this way? Shouldn’t you be in prison?
I grew up on a farm. Everything is trying to kill you.
@@MrHewes Even Ted, i've seen those eyes, he just hasn't chosen his moment to strike yet.
Sooo we have found the one thing that makes Adam smile. Driving the Mighty Foden 😂😂
and spraying Joe with a fire extinguisher
I do also want to say I appreciate that it appears you managed not rip a single cover on those bales despite the close quarters.
Really good illustration of why you need a recovery vehicle and what it can do.
People who complain about wind in a video like this never go outside or only watch million dollar productions with a boom mic. Keep up the good videos quality is on point.
I do love that Foden - proper bit of kit. Lovely job.
Maybe air down the tires in the French Truck for traction? Having said that the Foden looks absolutely incredible for that type of work …. Invaluable piece of kit
If you’d just waved a baguette and a slice of Brie in front of the Frenchie, it would have just followed you home.
The registration plate states that it is an OAS truck. Must be an Algerian truck??
That's just the UK reg, surely
That or they could’ve had a few Germans run at ‘ole Frenchie and I’m sure it would’ve retreated right back into the garage. 😂
THE MIGHTY FODEN DOES THE BUSINESS AGAIN AND SAVES A NOT SO MIGHTY BERLIET ❤🎉🎉
You guys are great and have so much fun in your work. Your Foden wrecker is fantastic !
Who cared about the wind....Great job lads. Keep up the great work and keep the content coming ! 👍👍
Had a good chuckle over "that's not litter, it's farm sale rules"
What a beast. The pull available at such an acute angle is impressive. Good recovery unit.
The cab on the French truck looks like it’s built out of Lego!
A bloody good watch 👍👍👍cheers.
Don’t see the problem, see the solution 👊
Just taping the tiniest bit of fake fur over the microphone holes will eliminate all the wind noise. Great stuff!
Fodens were the most versatile piece of kit you could ever have in a REME unit. Happy days!
Enjoyed the recovery, much like a nasty dental extraction without all of the blood. The trucks tires were a little unsuited shall we say for the conditions. 😊. Was a better sleigh than roller. Good job and always more fun without Health and Safety in the way. Thank you, cheers.
Good recovery there guys though i did think you were going to tip that truck over at one point lol
That French truck has got as much 6x6 drive as that poor golf !! 😂
I love the Foden adventures. 'The Great Sheep Farm Rescue'. I don't think you have ever mentioned what kind of farming your dad does.
You are both spiritual wrecker mechs!!! No better feeling than riding in the cab of a Foden when your crappy FOX has broken down again for 5th time in the middle of SPTA!
Richard Hammond aging gracefully 😄
Nice recovery on the frenchy the VW didn’t come off to well did it😳……..I can see why Richard the 3rd didn’t like the area much 😂
That Foden is a monster
Why is every stuck vehicle instantly magically attracted to every solid or delicate object in its vicinity?
It's like gravity, can't avoid it.
The love Joe has for that old Foden is palpable!
I have listened to all the politicians talking about war and the possibility of war, and I thought 'nah, won't happen'. Then I saw this. Getting that Berliet out and ready is a worrying sign....
It is French, so it’ll surrender quickly.
@@user-zu6qn9ux9n Boring.
WHAT A MACHINE, the Foden is so cool and the reco videos are entertaining to watch.
Never mind the wind! Nice recovery!
Thunderbirds theme slowly builds to a crescendo... then FODEN POWAH!!! 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
with copious amounts of banter and can do attitude thrown in for good measure 👍🏻
What an awesome piece of kit that Foden is !!! The "Ron Jeremy " of the recovery truck world !!
Yes, I loved the way it’s jib became erect.
Better looking though.
Felt like I was along for the drive, I love a road trip. Found myself reaching over for a sip of that sugar free redbull from Adam.
Coming up shortly: a "will it start" episode on one slightly dented black VW Golf.
😂
*cabrio.
A british wrecker driven by a lad wearing a german tanker coverall recovers a stuck french truck... brilliant! 😃👍🏼
The mighty Foden to the rescue again! Top work lads. Very enjoyable video
I am beginning to see where your love of the Foden is coming from now...
Also i am loving the Black and White.
I swear to Jebus, Brew in hand, sit down, A Mr Hewes Vid. I swear that my Giant Sports Direct mug is a summoning tool for Mr Hewes content XD
Don't drop it lad, got enough flooding round here at the moment.
Suddenly, the Warn Winch on my Defender seems inadequate! lol. Great video.
Great work fellas good old Foden
The importance of hardstanding.
It's always a good video, seeing the Foden master Adam at work, getting s**t done - you can tell he really loves the remote! :)
The mighty Foden, such a cool truck
I didn’t think it would recover at that acute angle, so kudos to the mighty Foden.
Spookily, I was on an ex-🐸 army truck of that make today, while being transported around as a beater on a partridge shoot in the glorious Cotswolds.
I’m in love with Fodens.
Exciting boys ! Good job ! 😊😊
Lovely Bridge!
Great Foden Wrecker !
Only the foden capable of doing all that shifting in one go , very valuable asset ! !
Reminds me of the stuff my grandad did in the RE recovering vehicles.. before the REME was formed.. very interesting to watch..
Not many vehicles would have rescued that French truck. Well done guys 👍
Like watching Ron from midwest truck only more mud and less high vis 😂👍. Good recovery everyone
I agree fully with you guys regarding the great do-all Foden👍👍! Regarding the Berliet generally speaking those vehicles was always considered in high regards not only in France but anywhere they went in service!
Best piece of kit you own
A great episode great too hear you explaining how you are awesome.
Speed, power and comedy. Brilliant combination 👍😄😁🤣
That French wagons a beast. Multi fuel. Winch front and back.
The suspension on them is a sodding nightmare to replace.
But a F. Great waggon to drive.
Hey. Bet you’re glad you didn’t take Jack. Those sheep would have been in danger.
i was enjoying it that much i have to say i did not notice any wind on the mic , well done and cheers Hewsey
Great understanding what can and can’t do with the six wheelers . Heads off.
Hats ……..yes I am Dutch
You guys are having way too much fun. Bring it on!
Awesome video guys, so nice of you to help that guy for free. 👍 That Foden is sooo sick! I didn’t realize it was a rotator too. Thanks for sharing! 🇬🇧🇺🇸
I was amazed at the extreme angle the Foden was able to drag that Frenchie from. A little trimming on the crown of the winch shive, a piece of an old fence under the foot of the outrigger, and the Foden sucked that 6x6 back on to firm soil with little effort. Wow!!
That is an interesting heavy recovery unit pretty damn cool. Greetings from California.
Lovely vid as always, best way to end the day in the couch watching your daily upload
You got it out👍🏼 If you want to slew a vehicle in soft ground and you have drive on the axle that you want to slew (and preferably lockers), winch at an angle like you were and drive forward with the stricken vehicle rather than reverse. Everything slews much easier, requires less force so less likely to pull tyres off. Entertaining video. Berliet made some awesome trucks.
The British pulling the French out of the shi! again. Love it.
Ahh, The Black Clam. Fine establishment.
🤣🤣
A French army truck with the registration OAS? A strange one. Great video. British pulling the French out.
Deflating the tires is very helpful
I think we need a dedicated video of the Foden just driving about to hear its wonderful noise😍
Looks like the Foden is a beast but without skilled and enthusiastic operators it’s just another vehicle. Enjoy watching the crew have productive fun. Thanks.
That Foden is a beast. A fabulous beast
Well done, youre not far from me, im in Hinckley!💪💪🍺🍺👍
Excellent video thanks Joe, Adam and Foden. A very useful team for success, but not a good idea in the rain without the wipers.
Interesting looking winch on the back of that French truck hope your friend gets it up and fully running.
makes me wonder why they didn't use it to haul themselves out from a ground anchor.
OK, a few questions (tongue in cheek):
- Do all farms in England have an an extraordinary amount of junk lying around?
- Does the Berliet not have locking diffs?
- Why not let air out of the tires?
- Is a cup of tea an essential component of any British endeavor?
I think this was just a jolly good excuse to play with all the toys! Magnificent fun was had by all 🙂
Les Berliet TBU ont un blocage de différentiel verrouillable de série
Well done Mr H, God how I love big toys.
Big Fred was our awesome ERF recovery vehicle at Cossington commercial vehicles many moons ago. Had a huge winch wheel underneath if my addled memory serves correctly I saw him do some great feats in the sales yard which was just a muddy field. It was a blast watching this video.
Another brilliant video, as you said something different and didn’t worry about the wind noise, the content was great. Thank you.
Your content is very wonderful❤
Great video, the French wagon looks quite good
I didn't think that would come out at that angle ,Well done chaps...
The screaming woman at 6:30 was the key to success. Couldn’t have done it without her help.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Many, many years before I discovered your channel, I watched a 40' artic being pulled out of a boggy field sideways by a Foden. It was John Beers of Comber in Northern Ireland. They are incredible machines!
Adam has the best "bed hair" by far...... another belter gents
😂😂I think the field has seen better days 😂😂
Any video with the Foden gets top ratings with me. I love it. Nuf said.
Your Foden is now happy with its new batteries. I'm also using the ZXL tyres on my 1967 Mercedes LA911 Truck, mine are somewhat smaller at 11.00R20.
My Truck was driving too slow, so I dropped out the G32 and replaced it with a ZF S6-36+GV36. Faster on flat but so much better in the hills, not that I have many hills where I'm presently living in Sweden.
Love your channel and great humour.
Well done. Looked like a Challenge as well as good fun. Fodens' are great mate.
This is clearly proof and confirmation that Foden is the best recovery truck.
God damn the FODEN engine has an amazingly beautiful exhaust note 😍😍
That foden sounds amazing 😍😍😍
Proper job , great to see the Foden in action , great stuff chapz
All the gear and all the ideas great job guys.
Nice job in an awkward situation, well done lads!
