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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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 !! 😂
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!
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.
Thunderbirds theme slowly builds to a crescendo... then FODEN POWAH!!! 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼 with copious amounts of banter and can do attitude thrown in for good measure 👍🏻
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.
That was a job well done!!! I really enjoy watching what you're able to do with the Foden; it's a great vehicle to have. Cheers from across the pond in RI, USA!!!!!!!!!!!
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!
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!
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! 🇬🇧🇺🇸
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.
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.
Awesome seeing the Foden working out in the wild. Would have like to have seen more of the old gray tractor… Ford 2N ? Really enjoy the channel… great job!
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 🙂
That was a great day out, seeing how cold and windy it was made it twice as enjoyable to for me to watch, being nicely tucked up indoors with a cup of tea and chocolate biccy. That poor old bridge must have seen a few sights (and weights)
love the way Joe left Adam to drive the Fodie over the hump back bridge while he stepped out "to film" ;) hope the beer was good and trust Joe bought!!
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.
The air dryer cycling made the sheep 💩their pantaloons lol 😂 I’m from Canada, been noting the similarities, mud is mud don’t matter where you are & good folk helping others is universal. Kudos guys, or blokes, take a bow 🙇 ❤🙏🏻
Plenty of fab Foden ballet here and some real jeopardy. I was on the edge of my sofa. Seriously though this was a great vid and I really enjoyed it. Well done for getting it done and helping out.
You done a bloody good job getting that out at those angles, I know only too well how much effort is involved in doing such major missions. One little tip that I picked up is sometimes when you just need a tiny bit more grip than you can get a bag of cement dust over the tyres can be the difference between success and failure. It’s worth a try if you can find a bag in a shed or unattended on a site!
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.
When I first saw your title, I thought it read " A Recovering French Truck" lol ! My dyslexia got me again and cracked me up! I'm a "Cartier" so no insult intended to my fellow French ancestors. Haha! Great channel!
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!!
So that's what you all do for a living your recovery men and very professionally done big lorries total professionals you would have to be in that game to be able to afford your tank hobbies enjoyed all your videos keep them coming 👍👍👍
Great recovery, great vid. Only just started watching your content (tired of the US & Aussie stuff) and amazed at some of the monsters you have. Always loved Foden trucks and that takes the cake, what an awesome beauty! Good on yer and keep it going. Long live the British eccentric! 👍
Love your recovery episodes there always fun I a tow truck driver U.S. it's so bizarre you all drive on wrong side of road an your steering wheel on wrong side lol 😅 p.s. it makes it more fun when something break like cable I always carry spares it happens to us all
That Foden is epic! You got any plans to do the other one to match? Would love some more content on upgrades to this beast and what equipment you carry
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".
@@Neighbor_Carl, I think they have one of those too?
@@Neighbor_Carlfrom 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.
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 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.
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.

I do love that Foden - proper bit of kit. Lovely job.
Sooo we have found the one thing that makes Adam smile. Driving the Mighty Foden 😂😂
and spraying Joe with a fire extinguisher
You guys are great and have so much fun in your work. Your Foden wrecker is fantastic !
😂😂😂❤
the moment the recovery team teaches you what 'diff lock' is for at the end of it all
🤣🤣
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
Fodens were the most versatile piece of kit you could ever have in a REME unit. Happy days!
What a beast. The pull available at such an acute angle is impressive. Good recovery unit.
Who cared about the wind....Great job lads. Keep up the great work and keep the content coming ! 👍👍
Good recovery there guys though i did think you were going to tip that truck over at one point lol

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.
A bloody good watch 👍👍👍cheers.
Don’t see the problem, see the solution 👊
The mighty Foden to the rescue again! Top work lads. Very enjoyable video
Thunderbirds theme slowly builds to a crescendo... then FODEN POWAH!!! 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼

I think we need a dedicated video of the Foden just driving about to hear its wonderful noise😍
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.
That was a job well done!!! I really enjoy watching what you're able to do with the Foden; it's a great vehicle to have. Cheers from across the pond in RI, USA!!!!!!!!!!!
Never mind the wind! Nice recovery!
I am beginning to see where your love of the Foden is coming from now...
Also i am loving the Black and White.
Suddenly, the Warn Winch on my Defender seems inadequate! lol. Great video.
10:37 just sums it all up in that 1 still image. This is a great channel!
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! :)
Lovely vid as always, best way to end the day in the couch watching your daily upload
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!
i was enjoying it that much i have to say i did not notice any wind on the mic , well done and cheers Hewsey
Like watching Ron from midwest truck only more mud and less high vis 😂👍. Good recovery everyone
Lovely Bridge!
Great Foden Wrecker !
Another brilliant video, as you said something different and didn’t worry about the wind noise, the content was great. Thank you.
You guys are having way too much fun. Bring it on!
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!
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! 🇬🇧🇺🇸
That Foden is a beast. A fabulous beast
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.
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.
I enjoyed watching you struggle but happy to see the Foden in her element, great video lads
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 😂
Do love that Foden what a beautiful sounding and looking truck. I bet it would make me smile if I got to drive that every day
That Foden is a good looking unit too. Nice job. You have got to get some for spool on that winch drum though 😂😂😂
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.
Excellent video thanks Joe, Adam and Foden. A very useful team for success, but not a good idea in the rain without the wipers.
Awesome seeing the Foden working out in the wild. Would have like to have seen more of the old gray tractor… Ford 2N ? Really enjoy the channel… great job!
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
That was a great day out, seeing how cold and windy it was made it twice as enjoyable to for me to watch, being nicely tucked up indoors with a cup of tea and chocolate biccy. That poor old bridge must have seen a few sights (and weights)
Had a good chuckle over "that's not litter, it's farm sale rules"
love the way Joe left Adam to drive the Fodie over the hump back bridge while he stepped out "to film" ;) hope the beer was good and trust Joe bought!!
Well done. Looked like a Challenge as well as good fun. Fodens' are great mate.
Great understanding what can and can’t do with the six wheelers . Heads off.
Hats ……..yes I am Dutch
All the gear and all the ideas great job guys.
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.
Can I just say, that is a beautiful truck: 17:27 - the colour scheme is excellent.
I thought the roads is our Arkansas town we’re narrow, wow. Love seeing the old buildings, don’t get to see too much like that in the states
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.
The air dryer cycling made the sheep 💩their pantaloons lol 😂
I’m from Canada, been noting the similarities, mud is mud don’t matter where you are & good folk helping others is universal. Kudos guys, or blokes, take a bow 🙇 ❤🙏🏻
Only the foden capable of doing all that shifting in one go , very valuable asset ! !
Proper job , great to see the Foden in action , great stuff chapz
Plenty of fab Foden ballet here and some real jeopardy. I was on the edge of my sofa. Seriously though this was a great vid and I really enjoyed it. Well done for getting it done and helping out.
Just taping the tiniest bit of fake fur over the microphone holes will eliminate all the wind noise. Great stuff!
Can't help but admire your 'can do' approach. Thankyou.
You done a bloody good job getting that out at those angles, I know only too well how much effort is involved in doing such major missions.

Reminds me of the stuff my grandad did in the RE recovering vehicles.. before the REME was formed.. very interesting to watch..
Speed, power and comedy. Brilliant combination 👍😄😁🤣
Wind all part of the weather effect. Shows exactly what you were working in. Good job guys in such difficult conditions. 👍👍👍👍👍👍
What a marvelous piece of kit that Foden is.
What a great bit of kit, that Foden is certainly mighty.
That Foden really is a cracking bit of kit. It just looks like nothing will stop it.
I could watch that Foden do it's thing all day long. Great video.
Such a cool recovery machine! Thanks for sharing your adventures.
Watching your vids makes my week .interesting and entertaining at the same time ..love it
Foden pulling in the French like reeling in a trout on a flatline. Bloody brilliant Foden!!! Nice tractor too!!
Another perfect rescue job.. - very well done, full marks !! ❤
That foden is nothing short of a BEAST!!! ❤
Excellent recovery. That Foden is such a work horse which made it look easy, togther with a team of professionals plus Adam. Nice job!
A great episode great too hear you explaining how you are awesome.
Love your recovery episodes there always fun I a tow truck driver U.S. it's so bizarre you all drive on wrong side of road an your steering wheel on wrong side lol 😅 p.s. it makes it more fun when something break like cable I always carry spares it happens to us all
I didn't mind the wind noise. I enjoy watching your video's.
What a beautiful sound comes out of the motor , beautiful noise
Brilliant job for one of the most wonderful & kindest families I have ever come across. Cheers Joe, Adam & crew.
Loved the video in spite of the wind noise BUT!!!! I have to mention that I noticed your wiper blades could do with replacing. Your welcome 😎👍
Brilliant work. Fantastic use of the mighty Foden
That Foden is epic! You got any plans to do the other one to match? Would love some more content on upgrades to this beast and what equipment you carry
Sold the green one sadly
That foden sounds amazing 😍😍😍
