Back in 1977, my brother in law had the idea to pull a 2-story adobe brick home down with an International Transtar II semi truck (it was either that or his 1976 Plymouth station wagon). We wrapped the cable around the entire house, about 4' above the foundation and it ripped right through. We thought the house would come tumbling down, but the only difference it made was to make the house about 2" shorter. We ended up running the cable through the windows and connected railroad ties at the other end. Now, why didn't we think to just connect his family station wagon to the other side? (pulling the truck through the house was a nice touch!) What we thought would take a few minutes took all day! This brought back some fun memories.
as a carpenter of 40 years this was the most exciting thing I've seen in years absolutely amazing the power of the trucks
If I was the owner of the house I would definitely call Heavy D a few hours later and say: "Hey, I am at the house right now, when are you guys going to start?"
That would be damn hilarious, I could only imagine what would be going through Dave’s mind. “Dave’s mind Oh fuck what did I just do.”😂😂😂😂😂
@Temmink6, that is cold, dude! But funny as hell! 😂😂😂👵🇺🇸
That would be hilarious 😂
long story short houses are weak af
@kirdot2011 It matters if you build one completely cheap then yes, if you invest more on the right things then you will have a solid one, the company who was hired to drill some hols in the 1st and 2. floor fore some pipes has hated us. Fore each hole they needed almost a new drill because the concrete was very good. It is the difference between building American or German/Switzer like
I did the same thing on a 2 story house a few years ago with my 1992 ford F- 350 with a 7. 3 . One end on the truck though the house outside though a window and back in the house and out the front door to a big oak tree. One shot and the whole house went down in the basement and though a match in and watched it burn. Thank You for all of your video;s enjoy watching them from the Philippines.
"Are you not entertained?" " ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED??"
Definitely earned a sub with this one. Respect!
My way, det cord rapped around the support walls.
Jay Williams let's live life and we're back!
Every guy with a truck has wanted to try this at some point in his life!
So true
Like in Lethal weapon!!! Classic.
Yeah when I got divorced
Old barn silos are more enjoyable.
True💯😂
I would of tried the cable around the whole house lol, this is badass true country boy living
ur name says it all lmao
Heavy’s giddy laugh when he’s super excited is the best
Taking the phrase "my truck can pull a house down" to a new literal level 😂😂😂😂
All those years of playing angry birds and destroying structures finally came in handy for something..
So true tho
Haha true
Lmao 😂🤣😆
Far be it from me to suggest to anyone how to do demolition....but....
One time I took down a wooden tractor and equipment barn and my primary tools were a chainsaw and a backhoe .. I did it this way so I could break it down into wall and roof sections I could put on hay wagons to transport to a burn pit....There were also several large timbers I wanted to salvage. Cleanup was minimal ...I don't think this method would work very well on a house with internal walls
Angry birds was a lie this is the real game
After 41 years in the military I have always wanted to drive a M88 tank through a house.
Do it brother go for it go to drive tanks if you can’t just buy one 😂😂
And I can't blame you
Stryker MEV straight through the front door. Leeroy Jenkins style!
I'm with you Brother! Drive thru the house 🏠! Remember in Twister and the Ram Truck driving straight through it?
a 88 isn't a tank it's a recovery vehicle for a tank.
I love how y'all demoed this house. I woulda salvaged some of the usable items. Windows, pillars, appliances, electric panel, etc. Great video!
I literally burst out laughing at the second pull of the Ford ranger. The view from the rear as it suddenly took off was priceless!
Me too!
I bet it still works
Ikr 😂
@Angie K I was busting up then too! Absolutely hilarious!
There is no way to tear down that house in a more epic way, you guys have this under control.Thanks for sharing your awesomeness.
I live in Utah and seeing your trucks around town is so cool! These videos don’t do justice of how big they are!
The Ranger going through the house was like something from a movie and i almost chocked when it hit the mail box.
One word wow to bad my son could see the destruction of raw horse power
They should have set the parking brake.
These dudes literally have my dream life and they earned it all..shows u can really be awesome if u try
I would just have my girlfriend stand out in front of the house and yell at it.. that’s how she tears me down. I’m sure it will work on a house
You got a girlfriend like that too.
Hahaha
Clydesdale horses
Wife could huff, and puff, and throw a bed sheet over it and fart. That house would be done.
Sounds like some is bellyaching. Happy wife happy life.
22:16 i love how the fan is still spinning like " im doing my best guys!"
I like how people drive past and don’t stop and watch. I’m stopping and watching lol
I was sick for 2 years. the only person i had to see if i had something to eat are if i needed anything was someone who has nothing but he would do what ever he had to to make sure i ate. Before i was laid off due to covid I bought a 06 duramax form a guy because he needed the money to take care of his family. I gave the truck to the guy that has nothing but did for me anyway, with the full intention of getting it running for him but i got laid off and have no way off paying for it now. I would give my kidney to have you guys fix this truck for him. If I can ever sale my truck I would be on foot but at least he would have his truck. I wanted to buy a tshirt to try to win him the truck put I don't even have the money for that. this life sucks LOVE YOU GUY Keep doing what you are doing
I feel like this is whistlindiesel: home edition
Beat me to the comments. Whistlindiesel: home edition was my first thought lol
It does have that vibe
These guys are way better than WD
home edition?
oh nvm lol
Just watching this..disassembling a house and salvaging everything possible and reusing the lumber to build tiny homes constructed from demolished houses ppl love the idea bro..Recycling america one house at a time. Storage buildings nearly zero $ for the build.. the people who cant afford things really enjoys being able to. With services like that.
That looked like a lot of fun to be able to destroy a house and not get arrested for it. Great video as always. Keep up the great work you do
"If my wife asks, I'm watching the kids" that's going to be a tough convo when this video comes out bud LOL
Man, anybody else get nervous when they were in the half demolished house rigging up for the next pull?
Yea lol
🤔 Exactly, well at least they are insured
ruclips.net/video/6kdZmgZessoy/видео.html4
nope
Heavy d an boys I do love your videos when I finish work early hours in morning I come get chill out an have a cuppa watching you boys.u lot are doing a fantastic job keep up good work an keep safe
For the love of everything holy....."El Diablo" is literally my dream truck, even down to the color. What a beauty
"this ford ranger can handle anything you throw at it" even throwing through a fricken house. #f$%kinMINT!
Old slave lake would have gave her all the way!!!
It would have been better if it was pulled sideways
ruclips.net/video/6kdZmgZessog/видео.htmleg
Really enjoyed this having done demo work so much I really have a good understanding of what it takes to tear a house down. That was awesome
This was the first I ever heard of you guys. But it feels like I've been watching you for way longer than 2 years.
This channel is growing so fast. Hard work pays off!!
Piece of cake. Did the same thing to an old post and bream house using my Hemi Durango!
Breaking glass is always fun, using trucks to pull down a house is legit too.
Lol
Imagine driving by on the road and watching some guy with his truck play tug of war with a house😂
I would of donated house to local fire department. Let them burn it down. Then put it out. Then cleaned it up. Trucks are properly more fun. I love this, keep up the fun. Stay safe.
This has quickly become the best channel on RUclips.
Buddy of mine said years ago, his duramax could pull a building down. Well he wasn’t lying 😂.
I really think the “Brodoser” would have been at home here lol
To bad its in Idaho! Lol
@@powerstroker33 diesel brothers should of used the monster truck since it won the tug of war.
@@ethanfitton6336 lol would be cool but they don't own the monster truck
@@powerstroker33 i mean monster bus not monster truck. My bad spelling.
El bromanio
I was glad to have met you heavy-d at the bank aug 15 2022 today wish I could have talked to you a bit longer maybe a different time love your show .
In the words of The Mythbusters:
"When in doubt; C4"
I was just thinking that and not 2 seconds after it came into my head I saw this
Disconnect the sill plate anchors from the foundation, then the whole house would come off in one piece!! That would be a sight to behold
They probably didn't have anchor plates
@@darrenspores2322 top course would break free ,,,,,,lego
I always look forward to watching these guys living the dream!
those guys were sooooooo excited like little kids. what a blast to have free reign to demolish at will and have the safety smarts and pulling power to get it done
22:18 i like how the ceiling fan is spinning lol
When your ex wife says she’s keeping the house😂😂 just get you an eldiablo
I would tear it down by starving The Muscle and telling him there’s a burrito hidden in the house👍
Underrated comment
Diesel Dave: from building trucks, to throwing them through houses....epic!
I would just let my wife and kids loose inside, house would be reduced to rubble within hours. haha
That’s how you lose a wife and kids
@@exofluent maybe that's the goal
Ford fucking ranger
This video is OSHAs worst nightmare 😂
I would have loved to see the 5ton try the whole house at once.
Me too, but it got stopped trying part of it, no way it was getting it all in one shot. The 2nd or third pull you hear it spinning tires trying to take I think the chimney.
Been in hospital and this video was awesome to watch great job.
One of my top 5 favorite channels hope to get to work with you guys one day
14:15 is when the pulling actually starts
Nah 16:20 is
Cheater! Thanks!
Thanks... He never shuts up
If I could tear down a house any possible way, I would drive straight through it
Love ure videos literally watch it every chance I get hope ure shows can go on forever
I'd like to see 4 trucks all pulling in different directions at the same time when you pulled it down. Truck that pulls off the biggest piece wins.
Considering the equipment you have I would've wrapped a cable around each wall and hooked both ends to the truck so it's not in a choker style. Each wall gets a truck and take the whole house down with all trucks pulling at the same time
Would love to see you guys come to the southern side of the state and get a giant truck stuck in the Sand Hallow Sand Dunes then call Matt's Off-road Recovery to see if he can get you out with his own Yankum rope. Two Utah youtubers, showing off the power of Yankum ropes. Matt's Off-road is where I first heard about Yankum.
y'all are crazy lol I'm 77 yrs old and love what you do.
I’m dying laughing at the mailbox and how quickly everyone ran to it when it got nailed! Of all the stuff to worry about...
tearing a house down with a thousand pounds of tannerite would be dope.
136lbs will turn an old barn into tooth picks.
A 1000 lbs would set off the earthquake sensors!
Just look up cement truck full of tannerite!
Ahhhh I was about to comment the same thing.
Try it on your house
Tannerite :
Demolition ranch has entered the chat 😆
@@kylespraysammili9108 it would make a great clickbait title though am i right...
Heavy D: How would you want to see the house taken out? Every truck you had on site hooked up all at once!
Great vid boys!! Tip:: when you use a shackle (you guys call d ring) as a choker put the pin on the loop end of the cable so the cable passing by doesn't unspin itself. Shit can go flying like the d ring on the hemtt lol
This is absolutely the best entertainment there is. I also started out by tugging and I enjoyed that too 🤣. You guys are awesome!
I like how heavy D still walks inside the house after half had been demolished, and no hard hat in sight lol
In fairness, he said stupid shit happens when he puts that cowboy hat on.
@@DoughboyPathyUSA lol yes that’s right
When he said we using a “Ford fucking ranger” had me dead 😂😂
Dave, this could have been the perfect snatch block video! As always I love this video and it was so fun to watch👍🇺🇸
This is badass I use to work in the plant across the street an I would see this house all the time
Now that has gotta be the most fun way to take down a house...Man Diablo looks nice
I’d do it all by hand held tools
Big excavator with a grapple bucket. We rented one in Illinois with zero experience and a minor adjustment to our contractors insurance. 7 hours and 6 dumpsters later there was just a big hole.
Driving a damn tank through a house sounds nice lol
Just subscribed to y'all, I love this watching all you boys with your BIG TOYS tearing down the house👍🤗 y'all are some awesome dudes luv y'all stay safe playing......
Gives a new meaning to crack house..
Clever 😂
If only demo had his 5 ton out there with the steel cage
Coulda drove right through it
" I want a divors and you´re not getting the house " came to mind watching this =D
You guys are the coolest! Love watching the videos
Old house he says, that place was nicer even with the foundation issues than my current house
I was thinking the same thing!
Same
Same
Yeah it’s a pretty nice house compared to some houses that people live
Same
Caught me off guard at the end with the ," we making a homemade wrecking ball out a fucking ford ranger " I lost it laughing haha I usually don't laugh to hard haha
ruclips.net/video/6kdZmgZessot/видео.htmle
I like ford but I hate the ford ranger
Should have connected truck to the crane and swung it at the house. That would have been a “wrecking truck”
I thought the same thing as he drove the forklift.
🤣
A FORD WRECKING RANGER!!!!
No safety gear, vehicles driving by, utilities still connected, gotta love it!
“If my wife ask, I’m watching the kids”
Got my word
Same
This reminds me of lethal weapon when Riggs tears the stilt house down with the dually
🤣 I wonder how much longer that truck was after that scene. It was pretty violent!
@@jackd2083 ya they really yanked on the truck in the movie. But I believe it was a Chevy 3500 dually. Those were solid trucks in the late 80s
I would love to drive a Caterpillar D-8 through a house, building, or structure. The kind that does fire brakes with an all inclosed cab so nothing could enter the cab of the dozer. Might have to replace the glass with bulletproof glass just to make sure, but that would be amazing!
That house had some great material's to it. I would have donated the good stuff to habitat for humanity. And then tore down the rest. But it was yours to do as you please and y'all had a great time and it is awesome content.
Much love from the Ozarks 💕
The Ranger cab was surprisingly intact for driving through a house.
Ass load of tannerite
When Riggs pulled the house off the foundation in Lethal Weapon 2, I have wanted to do that ever since...it is what started my need for a big diesel dually!!!
Great movie scene !
I would have loved to see the Oshkosh just drive right through over the house
5he pro bbn lem with that it would have ended up in the BASEMENT
I love just watching the destruction caused simply by a ute, a few cords and cables. No need for explosives. Need a house pulled down? Just call Heavy D and Desiel Dave, they will get the job done.
You guys don’t realize how much pressure is on the frame, suspension, wheeled and rims of these trucks, and it to pull away at a house. That’s just insane for that.
I met with Diesel Dave at Monster Jam AZ, I had a broken arm and sighed my sling to. He probably will remember me. lol
This is even better because I’m drunk lol
Respect+. Hell Yeah
And you made this comment while you were drunk? You must hold your alcohol fine and must not get too stupid or brain fogged when drunk.
You guys are the Best, Like the variety of different things you do!! Pretty Cool and u keep it family-friendly also...Keep it up -from Nothern California
I’ve always wanted to put a boing 747 in front of a house and just let the thrust from the engine blow the house to shreds
or fly it into a high rise building?
@@p__jay ok Mr taliban!
I would drive my 5 ton straight through the house like a tank!
I know this was awhile ago, but I love watching everything you do. Great, wish I was there.
Same🤩
Pet hates a show of force. I loved it. I’m still smiling 😊
OMG I haven't stopped laughing throughout this video. You guys are just hilarious. I've been binge watching lol and loving every minute. I'm sold on HeavyDSparks, seriously good fun.
Me too Janice from Oz !
Me too
We been waiting love this channel
This is literally a dream come true! Destroy a house with a truck BADASS!!
I've done it there is more hype then anything about do it that way.
Destroy a house and a truck
Love the Take Down the House Video, looked like so much fun. +10!
