- Hello Ladies & Gentlemen and as always, thank you for watching!!! Today, I believe the Tator has met its match!!! We are called to bring our Peterbilt 389X Miller Industries, Century 1150R rotator heavy towing and recovery unit to winch out a "monster" forklift that has been buried to its frame in soft gravel. Oscar and I both kind of laugh when we see what we are up against. I let Oscar run the Rotator while I handle maneuvering the forklift. OH WHAT FUN!!!! Watch as we continue to receive God's blessings. There is much more to come!!! I hope you enjoy this video!!!
We have a difficult and dangerous job and we take it very seriously, that doesn't mean we can't have fun and enjoy our work. We strive to be polite, professional, efficient, and safe...and still can have fun. I hope you all enjoy this video!!! Thanks for watching and God bless!!!

Love it when a co-worker (employee) jumps in and thinks ahead for the next step. Oscar is going to be top notch.
Oscar is definitely an asset to the company.
Exactly! And a major plus with that, is when Oscar is put on the spot with an expedited time table, while off the side of a highway, he will be able to make a quick decision and know what to do, and not take 10-minutes to figure it out. I think that Oscar will be leadership material someday once he learns the ropes, and gains more experience.
The only Oscar show worth watching these days
Well said.
I'm enjoying watching Oscar. The guy has a head on his shoulders and seems to anticipate what needs to be done. On the other hand, with a Yankem rope and a pickup, I think they could have done the job without a call to Midwest.
Doubtful the pickup truck method would've worked. The pickup truck doesn't have the weight required to move that thing. Trust me, I've had my share of forklifts stuck in FL sand.
@@stevenhoffmann9373 Frankly, thats not even the right kind of forklift for outdoor duties on varied terrain. I took one look at that forklift, and my mind went immediately to inside warehouse forklift. Tires are too narrow and have 0 traction for that. If you look at the majority of forklifts used on outdoor lots, they are usually big suckers, with big tires that grip, and usually weight like 35,000 pounds or more. This itty bitty thing can't be much over 5,000 pounds if that. Daddy always taught me, use the right tool for the right job. The workers have just learned this lesson.
@@stevenhoffmann9373. Based on size many believe it’s not that heavy, but with a counterweight it’s as heavy as two pickup trucks. If the truck was four wheel drive it might have a chance but the muddier it is the chance of success goes down quickly.
If correct definition of the job was provided and backed up with pictures, Ron might have dispatched the Ram 1500 and front mounted winch saving the customer hundreds of $$$?
As was stated at the beginning of the video, Ron was only told that a forklift was stuck, Not what size it was
See the HUGE smile on Oscar's face starting to drive tator. Lol
And 100% jealousy on the faces of the rest of us!
His smile made me smile. I wish we could have seen him driving a little. I miss seeing the ride out to the job. Great job Oscar.
Oscar is gonna be a rockstar employee for Midwest truck hes thinking one step ahead and has good logical planning
Ron, You could have pulled that one out with any of the trucks (including the traffic pickup). But then we wouldn’t have gotten to see the rotator in action..
Great quick job Oscar.
Stay safe, stay healthy, and god bless..🙏👍
Oscar for the win there! Tiny forklifts are still heavy little beasts, but I bet it never expected someone to call in a rotator to save it 🙂
Nice job Oscar...! Must have been cool to take the driver seat on Tator. You're a joy to watch & learning a lot from Ron... Enjoyed the uplifting story at the end too Ron... Great video...!👍👍
Nice to see Oscar again. Last I remember was that he was going to Rotator School. I bet he passed with flying colors. I do hope to see more of him at the controls of the 1150R.You have a good man working for you Ron. I'm sure he won't let you down.
I admire customer's decision-making process. They could try to yank it with a truck or do something else equally dangerous, but they decided to call for professional help. Good decision!
True. We could say something about how small this project is. Because these guys are PROS.
But... how many people have thought... I could do that.. and then spend MORE money fixing what they screwed up.
As a famous man once said.. "A man's got to know his limitations".
If the customer had an F350 and a properly sized Yankum rope, they more then likely could have pulled the forklift out. But as it stands, they had a much smaller truck with a chain. Chains should never be used to be yanked on like a yankum rope, chains are not designed for that purpose. They were in serious danger zone attempting that as Ron explained to them. Also, they made the mistake of using the wrong type of forklift outdoors, they also learned that lesson too.
Short and sweet. I didn't even have time to finish my hot cocoa! Another great video from my favorite You Tube creator.
Oscar, it looks like you are learning fast. Congrats on having your first time on the controls, and getting to drive Tator. Looking forward to seeing more of your contributions to the Midwest Truck team.
Stay safe and healthy.
Good morning! Quick and easy job for Midwest Truck but a show stopper for the customer. Good to see Oscar still learning and becoming more proficient with the rotator. God bless and stay safe!
😊Ron Pratt, Always willing to teach anyone. Excellent job Oscar,!!!!
Well THAT was a tough job lol. Tator didn't even break a sweat on that on. She was like "WHAT THATS IT? Give me a HARD JOB why don't ya" lol 😂
Oscar, Oscar, Oscar! That was a great job! Nicely done
Oscar is a great asset to the company, plus your sons can learn a lot from him too.
Good Morning There My Good Big Bro Ron Pratt Sir & Yes I Am Still Praying For You & All Of You're Whole Family & Staff & Everyone Else
Thumbs up really enjoyed this,an easy one is a good thing
Enjoyed seeing Oscar learning. Great addition to the team. Love that he wears a normal yellow hard hat.
nice easy job
Great.. now I have Baby Forklift stuck in my head, to the tune of Baby Shark.
Way to go Oscar. Love it.
Have a good weekend
Hi Ron = love seeing Oscar finding his comfort zone. A very high potential co-worker.
But more importantly is you and others doing the campaign of kindness and respect for other people. I watch a wide variety of vlogs of people like yourself that I admire as quality people. It is so sad to witness the erosion of the common respect and kindness being replaced with anger and rudeness and the mutual message by all of you trying to turn the tide. Thank you for your effort and I hope all together the "good ones" can prevail and restore what was always so common before in our society. Even one of the major cruise lines issued an edict this week to either respect the crew or be put off the ship. Hopefully in a 2 person raft without a paddle someplace in the Bermuda triangl!!!!
Oscar looked happy driving that rig. I think you have a good man there.
A pleasure to watch Oscar at work, he spends time assessing the job, gets straight into the rigging and happy to take control of the recovery. Well done mate. 🇺🇸🇬🇧👍
What a happy guy Oscar is. Great team work and wow, Ron even let Oscar drive to Tator. He looks absolutely delighted.
Living in the UK, RV trailers that size are unknown. What I always really enjoy about your vids, Ron,is the sheer variety of jobs. And also of course the guided tours of the Scot City area. Roy W UK
Nice one Ron
Oscar always looks professional and performs like a professional, as well.
Oscar seems to be a great addition to the team! You let him work the controls and drive the big truck so you must think so, too!
Springtime softness
Good job Mr Oscar and Mr Ron God bless you all ✝️ stay safe out there
Good morning from New Hampshire
rons reaction on this one when they first pull up is awesome lol
Oscar is awful good help,I bet he can do anything you ask him todo.great video.
jobs a good one ron 👍
Good to see Oscar again. He is still an asset to the team. Learning more every day. STAY SAFE OUT THERE.
Hahaha ! I was a mechanic on forklifts for 50 years , we had machines worse than that never called for wrecker or rotator to get out , just jacked it up placed down wood and drove it out !
as ron always says. many ways to get to 10
Hi Oscar! Ron, you have a great employee here. He doesn't hesitate and is always ready to hustle and get the job done. He acts like he has done this for many years. Great guy.
All you need from an employee is the right attitude, and Oscar has that in spades. He's a keeper, well done both.
Good Morning
Oscar in the house!!❤❤
Too short for little 😅 job. You gave the forklift a lift. But for Mr Pratt any job big or small the tator gets the job done. 😊. All the clouds at the beginning were cool to see too
Thank you so much for the video please post more videos a week and god bless
Good to see Oscar front and center on a recovery. It was a little disappointing that it was a small lift!!
Ron beside your perfect job and interesting videos I love your personality and how you trust your equipment
Oscar a good man he’s a keeper
I ENJOYED WATCHING THE VIDEO RON 😊
They're using a warehouse forklift on gravel, who would have thought it might have sunk into the gravel?
I was looking for this comment.... so I didn't have to make it, lol.
Oscar was honestly impressive on that job. Love to see you when people just know what to do and get it done rather than wait around to be told what to do. I definitely did get a chuckle the size of the forklift. One of my old jobs actually had pretty much that same model of forklift just an older generation and I can’t tell you the number of times I got that thing stuck in the stupidest ways like to get in and out of the shop there was about a 1 inch lip on the concrete which just so happened to be enough if you were not perfectly square, you would get one tired float in the air and get stuck due to an unlocked diff on the front granted that was normally easy enough to get out that you just grab someone else to give you a little bit of a push or if you did happen to do it when you were by yourself, we had a rope tied to the end of a block of wood that you could just drop in front of the tire and then once you’re loaded up and ready, give a little tug on the rope in it and shove the block of wood down
helping people grow is the heart of doing good for all
Happy St Patrick's day from Ireland keep up the great work .. Tim
Oscar will be a good crew member for your company .
Good morning from Southeast South Dakota
I like the wrap around the fork idea.
Oscar seems to like that job, and looks like he gets the gist.
Oscar being told "Hey, you drive this back" was likely uhhhhh.... or or oooooh ya! and from the grin at 13:02... likely the second!
Sometimes it's nice to get simple jobs ! Makes for a good way to either start the day or go into the evening or finish out a day ! 👍👍
Wow, wondering why you didn't drop the spades, Tater was really struggling with that pull.🙄🙄
Has it gotten to the point " men " can't even do the simplest things without calling someone to do it for them ? I'd be ashamed to say I needed a Wrecker to get that forklift out.
Good job on Oscars part. Good to see new faces added to the videos.
OSCAR’S first time on camera and you called him ETHEN lol 😂 great vlog as always sir 🫡
Well better to have to much pulling power to use if needed then to little power..... Nothing like a bit of over kill for a unknown job :)
Gotta love the safe jobs. No traffic. No Arc Nemesis.
Keep up the great work
I think Oscar did a great job
Quick and simple👏👏👏👏👏👏👏💕🙏🇬🇧
Not gonna say nothing. Been there done that.
Awesome
oscar will be a great worker for you !
That's cute. You could practically pick that up by hand. Never know what the job entails.
Made quick work of it! Good job Oscar. My only complaint. It didn't last long enough! LOL Love the Pratt family and that includes all the employees. God bless
I worked at a plant , warehouse / seed coating company we had a plant forklift and a warehouse / outside forklift ... the plant fork lift wasn't designed for anything but concrete floors, on a hot summers day even the hot asphalt wasn't gonna stand up to the weight of that thing. And the tires were smooth hard rubber , even so it ended up outside on the hardpacked gravel sometimes. When the big lift was busy loading trucks. Well I remember one time it went off the hardpacked and sunk, all four tires in the wet soil, we being intelligent men didn't need to call a big tow company, we had a bigger fork lift, and a chain we hooked up as short as possible stayed tight with the chain and simply pulled slowly it popped up as the Clark fork pulled it also lifted and no problem.
Yes that little forklift with those tires needs to stay on the hard packed.
The smile on Oscar,s face in the drivers seat of the Tater sead it all.
everyone likes an easy job once in a while
It was a simple job that was done quick fast and in a hurry lol. God bless you guys.
Good job. Oscar. have fun driving.
Yay, Oscar!!
1:52 That's a perfectly normal sized forklift. Large even. It was cold out. That was all.
That is priceless comment. My hats off to you
Hello Ron I worked for a RV company that was the forklift we had as well 👍👍👍👍😊
Oscar sets a good example for young people. A little hard work and dirt is a lot better than having you face stuck in front of a computer all day. Nice to see good work ethics.
Hey Ron, just wanted to say hello thank you for the Friday videos. There are something I really look forward to seeing as well as your great associates including Oscar you are very blessed to have such a fantastic team. Keep up the good work be safe, and God bless you all!
This is like getting a call it's a HUGE rock then getting there to find its a Pebble 😅
At least you didn't have to carry that little one, nice job as always
Easy money got to love those calls
Great job guys
A quick easy pull out of that forklift!
Reminds of the time I got a small forklift like that stuck a few years ago.
Had a stack of empty pallets I was bringing around back which was gravel and had a good idea it would get stuck but I was told to do it anyway even after voicing my concern.
It had smooth tires intended for concrete and pavement surfaces which the front of the building had.
I was trying to keep it on packed gravel the best I could and it was going well which surprised me it hadn't sunk.
That was until I let the weight of the pallets off the forks that it started sinking.
Soon as it started sinking I instantly went nope and loaded the pallets back on which I knew at that moment is what was helping prevent it from sinking after unloading them.
I got stuck backing up to turn around and go back to the pavement.
Soon as it got stuck, and knew it wasn't going to move, I didn't even try going back and forth with it as I knew the wheels digging would make it worse.
Got my little pickup and a tow chain and a gentle tug was all it took to get it free because I hadn't buried the drives.
I had also been watching Ron's videos at the time so had a better idea of what to do and what not to do.
I had operated a larger forklift before this happened and that one would have been better suited for the task as the tires on it were suited for dirt, gravel and pavement.
Keep that man around, Oscar is going to be a great operator one day. I loved that he made suggestions on rigging. Not to big a job, I hope you gave the customer a nice RUclips discount
it costs money to run that big truck, especially when the company didnt exactly tell the truth about the size of the forklift
A job is a job. Take the money and say "thank you"
I think I've bought parts at that RV place. Good job Oscar.
Nice pull out, but an RV dealer that handles 40 something foot long RV's should have been able to pull that out in their sleep. Thanks for the video!
happy Easter
Seems you ended up bringing a tank to a rubber band fight!
Thanks Ron. ...
When a solid surface small forklift is stuck it might as well be a big one
That is the hardest job you have done lol
👍🏼
Were I worked at we had ten hilo's that were bigger than that one. Then we had a dually drive tire one also had one that use tractor tires. That was our off off road fork lift
Haha, when I read the description during the intro i thought it was going to be one of those container lifting forklifts, wrong were I
I hope your truck can handle all that weight! 🤣
A job is a job.
I'm not an expert on fork lifts, but I have operated a few and know that they're not meant to be driven on anything but firm pavement. Even your rotator, for all its power, would get stuck if you drove it on too soft or unstable of a surface.
