Yankum Ropes can be used for far more than just kinetic recoveries if you think outside the box a bit! Go check out all their different recovery gear at yankum.com?afmc=CHR And to see more of Ben's cool trucks, check out 406 Garage at th-cam.com/channels/52WySxkYIqWGm6iLknl9Dg.html
Nice application of the rope, great way to show the many uses of a yankum. Or kinetic energy rope… I over paid for the other brand…. And need a bigger one….
You're a real pro Casey! You knew exactly how to operate Ben's new wrecker to safely raise the excavator. Well done! Hope that wrecker is yours some day.
One reason to watch his channel. He has a clue. Pretty good dude and pretty giving. Check out Midwest towing out of Missouri. This dude does a lot of business southern Missouri.
@@straybullitt I know in Missouri, tow trucks there can run red/blue when called upon as they are considered emergency responders to remove wrecks quickly, and I think Washington St now allows for that too if not mistaken. I know this as I watch Ron Pratt of Midwest Trucks who does a lot of towing among other jobs as requested and he can run red/blue lights.
@@straybullitt Yep, exactly. That is why I mention Missouri and here as in MO, you can run red/blues, but here, I'm not 100% certain if you can, or it was talked about and can't recall exactly, but it will be different wherever you live.
Great as always. Love how you took over the wrecker and Ben must have gone for a walk (or sat in the shade) knowing it was in good hands, and all it cost you was lunch? Sweet deal
Casey, you are truly an artist, and this was the perfect canvas for people to see you in your element. You explain what you are doing and why in terms that hopefully everyone should be able to understand and appreciate! Huge respect watching you carry this out and make it look so simple and easy.
Great video, nice to see Alex. This episode should be called: Ben to the rescue. 😉😆 It's a shame its not your wrecker Casey. It's great to have good friends like Ben.
I think Ben only bought it for Casey. Will sell it to him as soon as Casey finds the money. Or, will always be ready to roll to help out. He's clearly a good friend.
Well Casey, you are an artist. Thanks for the explanations so we could follow pretty easily. One more thing. You spoke several times about being jealous. Well almost. "Jealousy" is the fear of being replaced. What you have is envy. You are envious of that tow truck.
Excellent truck, I can understand the rental company people say they know what they doing, only need a bit of oil in the cylinder even if it's not enough to cause lock up may be enough to bend something, all the best to yous and your loved ones
How you feel about Ben's new tow truck is how I feel about your new Jeep! Color and all!!!! Great video, I learn something new from each one. Really enjoy your truthfulness and style! Keep up what you do!!
Alex did a outstanding job filming today, as usual. Another informative and imaginative recovery. You are an awesome problem solver Casey. That is a natural talent you have honed over years of working with recoveries and equipment. Ben got the deal for real and yeah wish you could have jumped on that one. Between it and your Jeep you would have things covered pretty well. Looking forward to the next adventure. Peace.
Very nicely done, Casey! Very well planned and executed. I really like that wrecker. It is so nice of Ben to let you use it. 😁 That would look really good in your yard!
There are enough videos of wrecker drivers flipping vehicles onto their wheels only to have them roll down another hill and cause more damage. Nice controlled Recovery by a Professional.
For a 1988 truck it’s in remarkably great shape, I would say that was a great purchase, sorry Casey your time will come when it makes sense to buy another one but until then you should really enjoy your new to you TJ6 because that’s also a great purchase plus a lot of fun. Keep up the great work we all very much enjoy your channel.
Another recovery well done and well explained. You don’t need to have all the equipment when you have friends like Ben that have it. A couple videos back you needed a 5 ton wrecker. I think an Earthcruiser wrecker would be just right, Clifford is already the right color. Nice to see Alex again.
Awesome work Casey. It was nice to see an expert at work. That excavator touch down was a definite flex of your skills and knowledge. Thanks for sharing
What a "Friend "😜 teases you with the tow rig, then stands in the shade talking with the ladies and "supervises ". Great planning on the recovery. Take the easy ones when you can
Well done! That was really excellent to watch. I was hoping this would be one of them tear jerker episodes where your buddy just gives you that wrecker. I did hear him say it would be the last heavy rescue HE is going to do with it…
I always wanted to buy a wrecker to do some recovering and saving vehicles in ditches.... but never did. Interesting way to do this but it worked like a charm..... Great vid Casey!
Hey Alex, Hey Ben, Good to see you. Alex, I was in the SeaBees, NMCB62, Equipment Operator. What did they call Equipment Operators in the Marines? I didn't remember them having construction battalions in the Corps but it was a LOOOONG time ago when I served. 1974-80. Semper Fi Brother.
Congrats on the new wrecker Ben! Always great to see Alex back on the channel. How is the Marine Corps? Worked out great Casey, still got the TJ9 and can use the "new" wrecker. that was a beautifully orchestrated maneuver of a sidelined excavator back on its tracks. Well done!
That was an interesting video! You sure know how to get the best of both worlds with Ben buying that wrecker! But while you are so busy pulling heavy things, I can't help but wonder: when will you get your hernia taken care of, Casey?
Likely he, like me is awaiting for approval from insurance. I have the referral in, but they are awaiting from insurance then I'll hear from the surgeon's office to get my hernia scheduled in.
I used to run pure hydraulic actuated mini diggers, you could self right them on the starter motor and the levers. Not so easy on these electronic command diggers, which is a shame. Anyway, that wrecker has your name written all over it, gorgeous.
That sure is a pretty truck. Can trucks be pretty?? Anyway, great job Casey. When you explained your vision for this job, I could see exactly what you were saying. Then when it came to fruition....amazing!!
Casey I definitely believe you threw the box away a long time ago and that is a great thing in my opinion. This video is a prime example of thinking outside of the box and being creative that was flawless in everyway the easiest one I have seen when it comes to putting a vehicle or equipment back on there wheels. You are definitely good at being creative which makes you good at what you do
Great when a plan comes together! Great job Casey. Too bad bout the 4x4 Wrecker, but I think that down the line you might be able to buy it from Ben. Let’s wait and see, lol🤙😎
Great roll over teaching moment Video. I've seen a few roll overs go from side, Upright and then over again and sometimes, back down the hill. Great looking Med Duty Tow truck, twin line booms, such fun.
Awesome content Casey that old Ford looks so good someone took very good care of it them old 7.3 are good engines not very fast but dependable. God bless and as always be safe 👍
Because it's not my excavator and that's not what they hired me to do. They hired me to stand it up so that their mechanic can go through it. There is nothing unsafe about the boom being up when it's sitting on a remote private property with no one around.
Sweet rig. I still regret selling my (bought new) 2003 F250SD 4x4, 7.3, 6-speed manual. Great truck, sold it to buy a Raptor. The Raptor was sold when Premium went over $4 a gallon. Now driving a new Ranger. Those older 7.3 trucks have character, great find for your friend.
The truck scenario sounds like my one trailer, I store it at my nephews shop (more room) then I need to borrow it from him as he uses it way more than I do! Nice and easy recovery on that little Ex!
Using the angles for leverage, kinetic rope for cushion, jeep on soft dirt where it can be moved without damage, keeping the boom supported. If you're not careful people will start to think you actually are good at this.
Interesting, informative & great engineering insight displayed. Your buddies new vehicle performed to the hilt & your jeep with a back up rope, to gently lower so it didn't bang, shows you had paid dues and knew what you were doing. The kinetic rope is nice (I have some), a Yankum & another brand, along with straps & other gear displayed. Just as back up, when in the backcountry. I'll have to come to Bend OR and see first hand, the "smooth operator" & his art of recovery, which he knows so well.
That was a heck of a cool save! And boy this truck is awesome. So old, clean as a wistle and with the big IDI. You have to be yealous but Ben will save it for you.
Yankum Ropes can be used for far more than just kinetic recoveries if you think outside the box a bit! Go check out all their different recovery gear at yankum.com?afmc=CHR

Casey! You are awesome 😎
Nice application of the rope, great way to show the many uses of a yankum. Or kinetic energy rope…
I over paid for the other brand…. And need a bigger one….
Give us a call! We’d be happy to help!
Common Casey. Give me a view. Check out the diesel cj7. I’ve been working on.
Would love to buy a heavy rope. Need to finish my Jeep first.
You never know. Might need to get a rope for work
Ben’s got the life, he supplies the truck then gets to stand there and watch, then off to lunch! Pretty good!
🤣🤣🤣
I was thinking the same thing.
I was running the 2nd camera 📷
@@406garage3 oh sure sure, blame it on the 2nd camera. LOL 😂 😉
@@406garage3 oh sure you were! Oh well I don’t blame you it’s fun to watch Casey scurry around! 😂
You're a real pro Casey! You knew exactly how to operate Ben's new wrecker to safely raise the excavator. Well done! Hope that wrecker is yours some day.
One reason to watch his channel. He has a clue. Pretty good dude and pretty giving. Check out Midwest towing out of Missouri. This dude does a lot of business southern Missouri.
Buy it? Just keep borrowing it and have Ben maintain it ... but maybe some day it will belong to Casey.
That's a really good looking truck Casey. You need that.
I agree with you on all points!

I ran the 2nd camera to film for him 😁

It's a shame its not your wrecker Casey. It's great to have good friends like Ben.
Yes Casey that truck is awesome and you need it in your life. I think you need to keep pressuring Ben and eventually he'll give in and sell it to you!
You will get a wrecker of your own Casey, the timing just was not right on this one. Thumbs UP man! 👍
I think Ben only bought it for Casey. Will sell it to him as soon as Casey finds the money. Or, will always be ready to roll to help out. He's clearly a good friend.
He ended up buying it lol
@@bob-who-must-not-be-named8522 He could sell it if the price is right like the most that he owns...
And getting a semi truck conversion
Gonna have to get a magnetic Cascade Heavy Rescue decal for it when you "borrow" it a LOT!
You bought the TJ for Riley's comfort. That is never a bad business decision! Any update on surgery?
Still ignoring the surgery. No pain, and not stopping me from doing anything I want to do so I'm holding off for now
@@CaseyLaDelle where your red Jeep Grand Cherokee xj?

Well Casey, you are an artist. Thanks for the explanations so we could follow pretty easily.

Yes, Clifford as a wrecker would be perfect!
Awesome work Casey. It was nice to see an expert at work. That excavator touch down was a definite flex of your skills and knowledge. Thanks for sharing
Well ya missed a fine wrecker!!!!! Nice recovery!
What a "Friend "😜 teases you with the tow rig, then stands in the shade talking with the ladies and "supervises ". Great planning on the recovery. Take the easy ones when you can
Alex, as a Retired Navy Chief, Thank you for serving and HOORAH DEVIL DOG!!
Casey, Ben is a good friend to have.
Great work.
I think you need to be a judge in the off road wrecker Olympics.
That has been discussed
Lol, I may be wrong but I think you're jealous, the truck is cool and your colours. Sorry but your commentary was hilarious. Great video.
Thank you Ben for buying us a super nice wrecker!!!
Well done!
That was really excellent to watch.
I was hoping this would be one of them tear jerker episodes where your buddy just gives you that wrecker.
I did hear him say it would be the last heavy rescue HE is going to do with it…
Yeah, that tow truck is a beauty! I'm glad one of you got it in your "family." Good recovery.
One word for this recovery----SMOOOOOOOTH!!!
The wrecker is in Casey's favorite color BUT he doesn't want to own it! He will want to borrow it instead! Good job with Ben's wrecker!
Great video Casey. Ben’s tow truck, which is yours now is working out great. 🤙😎
What a smooth landing. And not by accident!
I always wanted to buy a wrecker to do some recovering and saving vehicles in ditches.... but never did. Interesting way to do this but it worked like a charm..... Great vid Casey!
Amazing! You set that thing down gently as possible. Good job Casey!
Nice truck. Excellent recovery.
Hey Alex, Hey Ben, Good to see you. Alex, I was in the SeaBees, NMCB62, Equipment Operator. What did they call Equipment Operators in the Marines? I didn't remember them having construction battalions in the Corps but it was a LOOOONG time ago when I served. 1974-80. Semper Fi Brother.

Thanks Alex for your service. Nice dance there Casey
Classy recovery with experience, thanks for the show
That was an interesting video!
You sure know how to get the best of both worlds with Ben buying that wrecker!
But while you are so busy pulling heavy things, I can't help but wonder: when will you get your hernia taken care of, Casey?
Likely he, like me is awaiting for approval from insurance. I have the referral in, but they are awaiting from insurance then I'll hear from the surgeon's office to get my hernia scheduled in.
Perfect! But I was still holding my breath for ya!
Nice job on the soft landing. I’m proud of you!
Amazing recovery. It’s pure logical physics at work. Those yankem ropes are magic!!
Well done. Just before you got out the Yankum to support the boom I was thinking the same. Your scope of experience is impressive.
Semper Fi Alex. I was a USMC Combat Engineer back in the 70s. I went in with the intent to be a heavy equipment operator, but I ended up as a 1371
Thanks for showing the details of the setup and the why’s behind. Great recovery
I used to run pure hydraulic actuated mini diggers, you could self right them on the starter motor and the levers. Not so easy on these electronic command diggers, which is a shame.
Anyway, that wrecker has your name written all over it, gorgeous.
Having flash back to your red wrecker, great video
That sure is a pretty truck. Can trucks be pretty?? Anyway, great job Casey. When you explained your vision for this job, I could see exactly what you were saying. Then when it came to fruition....amazing!!

Great when a plan comes together! Great job Casey. Too bad bout the 4x4 Wrecker, but I think that down the line you might be able to buy it from Ben. Let’s wait and see, lol🤙😎
Your a great teacher Casey I bet Ben Alex will be learning a lot and taking jobs for you when you can't be their
Like a glove! nicely done
I have had several I.D.I.'s my Dad had one that had 1/2 a million miles. I have an 89' 2wd with 88,000 miles. You will love it!
Brilliant way to counter balance the excavator from flopping over to fast! Well done!
CASEY YOU HAVE A GREAT FRIEND. STAY SAFE. GOD BLESS.
Great recovery truck that was awesome love the new truck that been bought that's Ben bought and you got to use
That is a fantastic wrecker. I'm jealous too Casey. Dandahermit
Hope you can buy that truck after the Willis sells
Yes it’s a great looking truck. As your channel grows and you have steady work, you too will the tow truck you desire as always a great video.
Great job on the recovery of the excavator Casey!!!!!
Gracefully executed, Casey‼️
That sure is a pretty wrecker ‼️🤩💯 Yankum‼️
I heard about this when i grabbed my equipment from these guys... Bet Warren and his team were stoked you made such a clean recovery!!
Hopefully, I haven't talked to them yet lol
Looks so easy with the right know how and tools. Well done! Thanks for sharing 👍🏼
Well done! Nice and smooth when you use a control vehicle! Similar to what i did in the wreckmaster course.
Great roll over teaching moment Video. I've seen a few roll overs go from side, Upright and then over again and sometimes, back down the hill. Great looking Med Duty Tow truck, twin line booms, such fun.
Awesome content Casey that old Ford looks so good someone took very good care of it them old 7.3 are good engines not very fast but dependable. God bless and as always be safe 👍
Good job on flipping that back over, nice and gentle
Thanks for the video, always enjoy watching!
That was an awesome technique with the lowering tension on the jeep. Well done !
I watch lots of channels to learn your a great teacher
Good job Casey
I m so glad you got Alex back
Great job. Zero damage. Total win.
Ben gets all the credit on this one. He gets a "new" RED wrecker right when you need it! Yea Ben!
Thank you
We’ll done recovery, lots of knowledge shared on how to do the job CORRECTLY 👍👍.
Thanks 🙏 for sharing.
Interesting, Thank You. A fine example of teamwork and the right equipment
Awesome Casey and Ben and awesome job
Good recovery. Not sure why not lower the boom? The pressure in the hydro line is keeping it up but unsafe to leave it up in air.
Because it's not my excavator and that's not what they hired me to do. They hired me to stand it up so that their mechanic can go through it. There is nothing unsafe about the boom being up when it's sitting on a remote private property with no one around.

What a nice wrecker. What a man could do with that. I'm jealous too!!
Once again, proving that it's good to have friends.
The truck scenario sounds like my one trailer, I store it at my nephews shop (more room) then I need to borrow it from him as he uses it way more than I do!
Nice and easy recovery on that little Ex!
Amazing skills! It’s nice to someone respecting others property/equipment.
Gotta love these joint ventures, lol! Thanx !
Definitely a video that shows how good you are at this! Nice job!! 🏆

A real professional, absolutely excellent
Ben made a VERY wise purchase !
You better buy that wrecker Casey. That was a perfect job standing
that up
here hoping Casey can get a nice 4x4 wrecker like Ben's sometime in the near future

OMG that's a super wrecker.!!
That wrecker even sounds GOOD!
That may be the most gentle uprighting of a tipped vehicle iv seen so far. A little impressive.
