Don't know how I ended up on this page, but I am extremely excited I did. I have been watching yall for about a week now and am thoroughly impressed with the content!
It's only for a dramatic effect. You and I wouldn't be watching if we saw a wider driveway. I like watching because they are all comedians and all have childess like behavior.
You need to make a portable hydraulic system. And have a small motor. To hook up the Hydraulics. That would control the boom and bucket. Love the video.
That's a great idea. If they took the PLS (1075) with them they would have had it on board. The 1070 doesn't has it on board, but it wouldn't be that hard to implement it. (it has hydraulics for the winches)
I moved a mid sized excavator like that with tractor remotes and long hydraulic lines. I did get the boom positioned correctly and chained but couldn't move the drives for some reason.
@@darylcompton3433 We did the same thing with a hydraulic power pack usually used to test hydraulic elevators. Got it for cheap, from an elevator company and moved a cat 336 that decided to evict its guts in the middle of a forest. We had no means to move the thing out because there was no allowance to remove trees other than the existing road. We removed the lines going to the hydraulic motors, hooked the controls of the power pack and away we went. The power pack was on a trailer, hooked to the bucket which we locked in place with straps and wood to the frame. It was slow, took a while, but we got it out on its own tracks, no fuss, no muss. Now, US might not have these power packs in that area, doubt there's that many elevators in the middle of nowherescraper, but any kubota with a hydraulic pump and a divider block will do. Saves headaches, tons of wasted fuel, time, it's fun to show too, because it's not that easy to control, you're bypassing straight to the hydraulic motors, so it's not a content loss.
I'm the friend everyone calls. When I could use a hand, everyone is all of a sudden too busy so I end up doing whatever it is alone. Every single time. Never freaking fails.
When you guys were leaving the shop, and I was videoing, my daughter said that I was totally a fanboy. Glad I got to see all of you guys and the Own Boss guys. I actually bought a hat off of them later that day. That blade/winch combo is impressive
I’m not a technical or mechanical-type person and I have learned so much about the vehicles, machines and strategies for completing super-challenging projects. What I also see here is a master class on teamwork.
I’ll tell you what huge props to the cameraman lol the angles where he zooms up on the water bottles, the glugging noises, and the angles where they’re putting the bottle back in the back pocket is hilarious. I was laughing. 😂 Crickets at the end were hilarious 😂
I dont know anything about heavy machinery or ever been around them but i been watchin this channel for a few years now and i swear the editing keeps gettting better and better. the edits are funny af. plz keep the editor and give him a raise lol
Dave called him "an idiot savant" in one of the videos... Hans is always full of sassholery regarding Alan. It is reflected in how they film him and edit a lot of videos to make fun of him. Quite a toxic working environment for such a good guy as Alan.
Here in Oz we call them bow shackles because they bow out. A 'D' shackle is simply shaped like the letter 'D'. Always love watching the recoveries, cheers!
Hey Diesel, I walked a dead 235cat withoff a hill & onto a float with a small cat skidsteer by myself. I used two 50ft hyd hoses plumbed into the 235cat controls & used hyd pressure from the skidsteer to walk the 235. As long as the dead machine's hyd are ok works on any machine. I just followed behind keeping my eyes on the hoses
I built a trailer housing an old C15 pumps controls and hoses to pull old broken crap out of mines years ago. You don’t need anything from the machine except the rams and gearboxes to control any motion on a hydraulic machine.
@catman19 - I have done similar. For a large company, I set up an 80 hp diesel to 3 pumps on a trailer. Some machines have dual hydraulic systems, and another for any jacks or whatever on a separate system. Connect the trailer to the recovery machine, hook up the hydraulics, and go. The system worked so well, the contractor rented it out to other contractors. I wish I thought two steps ahead and built one to rent. It was my idea and design. This was back in the 1980s.
Shackles have removable pins and used during lifting or pulling where as D-Rings do not have removable pins and are usually fixed in place and used as a tie down point.
Tint on a skid loader door is nice for sunny days! Until you need to see the edge of a house @ dusk when grading up against it lol But also the dust control dude is hilarious 😂
Your video editor is incredible because from the beginning of you guys on RUclips until now there is always variations and artistic freedom coming with new episodes. I see all the different things being done yet always a professional yet still RUclips style result. Nice work guys
I hope Dav donates that Cat excavator to Allen as it'll be a massive upgrade against the one he owns and would help him get tons done . Allen could fix that in no time . .
Lol Dave would have to get it running first and even then Allen is a creature of habit he would still use that mini x that barely runs because he is Allen lol
Shackles...I believe the technical term for those is screw pin shackles.. when I worked in construction supply we sold them in all sizes from about 3/8 pin up to about 2 inch pin diameter. (Usually rigging for cranes and tilt-up structures.)
@@dazaspc I didn't call them d rings.. I wouldn't call them d-ring shackles because they don't even remotely look like a "D" ... Bow shackles is more of a old school nickname... A lot of people still use that name but most people call them screw pin shackles.
my favorite part of this channel is their logistical skills. doing this stuff can be a logistical nightmare and the ability to work through challenges quickly AND efficient. great work fellas
You guys always do the best jobs by far! I'm really impressed by your outstanding work ethic! I have had the privilege to have been involved in some of there jobs!
My big question is, why not just get a dozer with a winch? D3 or higher? That little case was being drug around like it was nothing. Not to take away from the Case..just seems like it was way out of it’s intended use.
Just found your channel today. Never been jealous of a youtuber until know. You got a ton of fun toys at your disposal. Try to jeep the OG stuff with the boaterhome if possible.
If you had a hydraulic skid, you could plumb in to the existing control valve(s) and at least have power boom and most likely power swing. Edited for another suggestion. You have a tool circuit on your skidsteers, and possibly your big truck, you can use that to either plumb into the entire system or to do just one cylinder at a time.
You guys are so entertaining 😂 Best friends? I talked to my best friend Debra last night for an hour. It was the first time I talked to her since I moved to Thailand December 31st 2023! I would love to enter to win some of your give away promotions, but I know you can’t send it to Thailand 😂 But just know I absolutely love you guys and sometimes just watch your episodes for hours! Because retired and owning my home in Thailand, why not watch the best entertainment available? Plus, I get to see my home town. I was born and raised in bountiful Utah and moved here after living in Hurricane Utah for over 25 years. Thank you for am you do for anyone! You guys are the best
My friend is Diesel Dave. Thanks friend. “Hey I like your shirt!” Saw you on the 15 on Friday. Honked at you but you looked beat. Probably had been out filming this video.
Nice recovery, the winch on the skid steer is absolute monster. Sad to hear that yet another beautiful piece of Utah will be wasted on yet another multi-million dollar development.

That CAT 259 is a great little machine. I owned a CAT 247 which is a similar machine and they are the Cadillac of the compact track loaders. Heat, air conditioning, closed cab with filtered air, windshield wiper, etc. They're super nice to operate.
i think you guys need to build a small APU with a 2cyl ~25-30HP engine and a hydraulic pump for running hydraulic equipment in this kind of scenario, might not be enough to run the drive motors but might be enough to free hydraulics and maybe fold excavator arms, just an idea, awesome recovery and looks like y'all definitely had your hands full with this one

Captain caveman I agree there there are much easier ways to do this I don't know Dave he may not take constructive criticism too well 🤔
I have watched these guys fight this type of situation before and could never figure why they never had a hydraulic unit???

23:55 that skid steer and winch set up is incredible I’m surprised how much pulling power it has, and right on with the sunscreen!
NO One Died during the making of this Video!!! - Amazing.
Just a loose thought but everytime I watch HeavyDSparks and his team go on a recovery it's like "Autobots, roll-out!" Gorgeous machines!
His got some nice gear
🤣🤣
😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
The HET is the right color to be a Constructicon. LOL
Im seriously impressed with your rescue skid steer. I’ve been waiting for videos using that beast. It was worth the wait.
Here in Oz we call them bow shackles because they bow out. A 'D' shackle is simply shaped like the letter 'D'.

I just followed behind keeping my eyes on the hoses
I was wondering if that was possible.
I thought of an aux hydraulic power unit plumbed in. But if you have high flow aux ports on skid steer that would be the ticket.
I built a trailer housing an old C15 pumps controls and hoses to pull old broken crap out of mines years ago. You don’t need anything from the machine except the rams and gearboxes to control any motion on a hydraulic machine.

They are called Bow Shackles. D Shackles have straight sides. A D Ring doesnt have a threaded pin in it, it is a solid ring.
Here in Quebec, Canada, where its mainly french-speaking, we don't even have a name for these so people call them D-Clamps or D-Rings

You know it's a good day when Heavy D posts
You have a great group of people.
All of them work together.
Enjoyed the video
Alan is so wholesome. I love him lol
The winch on that little dozer was impressive!
D rings are in a pipe welded to a anker point on a trailer for example. What you are holding is a 50 ton screw clevis.
A shackle
Shackles are what slaves and chain gangs had used on them.
Take the word of the guy that spells anchor phonetically, he knows what he’s talking about…….probably.
@stevefortune4315 it's also the correct name for what you call a clevis
They have Google. I don’t know why they couldn’t Google that instead of some calling at the wrong thing lol
Big Dave, wow, you out did yourself with this video.......Grrrrrreat job, and Video................Thanks..............JB.
