And this is my problem with class A RVs. Johnny pencil pusher can drive his Honda Civic to his desk job and back every day for 50 years. When Johnny pencil pusher retires, he can sell his house and buy a class A RV without any training or licensure and drive it on the public roadway.
We appreciate how knowledgeable you are in safety protocols and your gentle way of teaching others how to avoid this from happening when you said "We've had so much rain that you don't get off any solid surface" was indeed respectful and yet clear.
We have a Class-A motorhome and we've heard so many horror stories about inexperienced tow truck drivers showing up to tow a large motorhome and they end up damaging it. Ron, you're RV tow videos have taught us a lot about what to expect and how to work with the tow truck driver to make a good, safe, tow. Thank you!!
I"m very sorry about the loss of your father, you two were very close and he taught you well, you are a true professional God bless you and my prayers go up for you and your family.
Both of these units are beautiful rigs. Looking to buy a class A myself in the near future. Hopefully I'll never needs Ron's help but it's a pleasure to know he's out there for us.
We all make mistakes, a lot of rv owners would have tried to get it out with a 4x4 pickup and done more damage. This guy was smart enough to call someone with the prober equipment and knowledge to do it right. Better have that receiver hitch inspected for damage.
If ya don't have enough common sense to not pull this bus onto a wet lawn, what kind of confidence do you think the rest of us should have when you're churning up the road?
I seen an RV get stuck and he had his own chain to pull it out with, I assumed he had that happen before. He flagged down dump truck and asked him if he would try to pull him out. The driver said, only if you promise I won't be responsible for any damages. The RV guy said I promise any damages will be on me. The dump truck driver turned around hooked up the chain and the dump truck pulled the guy out smooth and easy. The dump truck was loaded a tri axle straight dump. The RV guy gave the truck driver a hundred dollars. The driver said, sir I didn't stop to take your money. The RV guy said young man you just saved me over $1000 , you earned it. They both went away happy.
LOVE your channel! Educational, respectful, and motivational. We just lost a known man of the towing industry in my local area to health complications from Minichs towing and recovery here in Oil City Pa. He will be missed greatly, I have great respect for all of you. I've helped chain down my own truck in -9 degree weather on a flatbed before, that's all it took for me to understand the work, stress, determination, and sacrifice that you guys have to deal with on a daily basis. Keep on keepin' on! Stay safe and God bless!
Man you did a great job getting the RV back on the pavement! Getting it out was never the issue. Doing it without damage was the concern. Your patience was the key. You did not take shortcuts and it was the road to success. Times have changed since I was a puck kid driving a 48 Chevy with a Holmes Wrecker on the back. Your rig is a quite a piece and you are a real Pro!
Thanks for sharing. Thanks also to Sonny for allowing the rest of us to benefit from his not-going-to-do-it-that-way-again experience. The price of that journey just went up.
I even managed to get an airfield tractor stuck into the mud up to the rear axle... It was a small tractor, but it had a considerable weight and when the contact pressure exceeds the force the wet grass can have...well you're stuck :) Needed another airfield tractor and a very large forklift to get it out. Everyone makes a mistake from time to time. Luckily,, you have friendly people as Ron to get you out of trouble. Keep up the good work !
I have always been interested in rigging and watched all your videos at least once. Rigging is a mix of physics and art and you, sir, are a master of both.
I’m watching this video two years later. Hubby and I recently had a similar situation at our TIGHT storage facility. We were buried half way up our tires.. Ants undermined the ground under our MH. Contacted the owner, he had access to a skid loader. With a tow strap he, hubby and I was able to finally back it out of our space. Yes.... I have quite a few more gray hairs from that.
Your expertise is really inspirational! Thanks for sharing and making such well done videos. I'm amazed by the truck with all it's components but more impressed by how well you have mastered it's use. Unbelievable. A constant source of informative enjoyment, thank you.
Nice job! I once got mine stuck in a grass field at Mid America raceway in Ohio where I was staying to watch a weekend motorcycle race. I was on level ground but it rained all weekend and the coach literally sunk into the soil due to its own weight. There’s a lot to be said about that rich, black soil. Good for farming, not so good for parking big RV’s. Not up to the axles but just couldn’t get traction. Any effort to get out just dug me in deeper and I stopped and called Good Sam roadside asst before I got in too deep. They had to tow me from the front. The entire front of the coach is a totally soft underbelly of fiberglass but they rigged a good snatch block to keep the towline low and got me out with no damage. Props and respect to these good tow operators. That happened about 5 years ago and I’m always mindful of driving on to any non-paved surface. This video was a good reminder. Nicely done.
I bet you Sonny pulled through a hundred times with no problems until this one time they had a bunch of rain. The way he backed out onto the road and quickly backed into the driveway shows he can handle that coach.
I operated a Jerr-Dan 50 Ton wrecker in ND for a few years and always wanted to run a rotator. So much versatility! Mud recoveries are never fun especially when the combination weights over 120k UGH!
It amazes me the new technology in wreckers, you almost need a degree in electronics to operate them but the artistry to winch without causing more damaged still remains the same. Good job.
Good recovery with no damage. When the guy said,,, ‘’’Well,, I nearly made it’’’’’. The rear wheels are driving, he didn’t make it by a long way. I guess it’s not the first time he’s driven over the grass with no issue, just didn’t realise how sodden the grass was. But I’m jealous of his motorhome.
Good Afternoon Ron, A nice and gentle pull getz r done! I gotta say that gentlemen wheeled that rig around pretty darn fast and accurate once he was outta the muck. A rig that straight and long is like trying to back a 2000 sq foot house with no windows down a one way alley!....it takes some practice...lol
First rule in recovery......never get the rescue vehicle off the hard pan, unless absolutely necessary. I've learned some hard lessons myself and have had to be rescued when I was suppose to be the rescuer....LOL. Thanks for watching and God bless.
Ron that was done very professionally coming from a veteran tow truck operator in Boston. I would have approached it the same way. Keep on Trucking brother.
Tator is getting some use on the RV's lately, Both you and Tallon know exactly how to handle them beautifully. Its been a crap start to the year this year, 2018 has been nothing but wet and cold so far.
Hi Ron, I've Fast becoming a huge fan of your video's. My nephew's is a fellow big rig tow driver ( Ohio ) and I love hearing his stories at family functions. What better then to watch them with you. I understand better now that I can see what it takes. Thanks for your effort and keep up the good work. Good bless and stay safe. Jeff
"I almost made it!" This customer is too funny.....his FRONT wheel was sunk about eight feet in, just look at the track ! And as soon as those rears(where all the weight is on a pusher) rolled off the pad there was so coming back, sunk and spinning!
My butt was clenched before you attached the winch cable, but that was a very gentle recovery. Pity RVs don't have more driven wheels, had to get wife to tow me off a grass pitch before with her minivan!
Wow I love this tow truck all the “gadgets” he has they are really something. He’s outfitted for anything. Love this show just started watching it today.
there is only one thing missing in this video. the wife standing there with her arms crossed and a sour look on her face saying; I TOLD HIM NOT TO PULL IN THERE.
My real name is Michael McCluskey. I've been subscribed to your channel for quite awhile,. You don't need to thank me for watching, I'm just happy to watch you do what you do.
Great job!!!! Only thing I seen that I wouldn't do is when you are discounting the toe rope I would have the drive get out, Don't trust anyone when you body is that close between 2 trucks.... Great job and you seem to be a very kind person!!!
Hey, Ron, you did a heck of a job pulling Sonny's RV Bus free; really amazing work you do. Guess, it pays to have the right equipment AND the experience to do that without causing any damage. Congrats, Sir! Y'all Be Safe!
At what point did he realize he was stuck, when the drawbar was on the cement, lol. I think owners of those under estimate the weight of them at times.
As big as those things are he was off the pavement for a while and didn't know because they are rear wheel drive so for the duration those rear wheels were on the pavement those front wheels could be anywhere and it wouldn't matter
Ron, I only have one question for you young man. In all the time I have been following you I have never heard one f-bomb, s-word, d-word....nothing! With no "vocabulary, how on earth do you talk? Many men, and sadly women, too, can't get three words out without adding at least an "f" or "s" to what they are saying. You, young man, are a very refreshing change on RUclips! That is one beautiful coach and must have cost him pretty close to what your rig did for you.
+Richard Cline My apologies for the long delay in responding to you. The channel has grown to the point that I can't respond to every comment as I once did. Thank you very much for the kind words. I haven't always been the person I am today. I've learned some hard lessons, but they have made me a better person, at least I believe they have. My wife and I were also Blessed with children and I decided a long time ago that I wanted to set a good example for them. I'm not perfect. Bad words still slip occasionally, but I try very hard to good parent and role model for my children. Thanks for watching and God bless.
I imagine Sonny knows that he just had a temporary mind fart. Sometimes you take risks and it bites you in the ass. Theres no way Sonny does that on the regular with that big beautiful bus.
My grandfather's RV was in a similar situation. We went to move it back to our house from the place we're staying at and as soon as we went to go it just sunk... The Jack's helped we were able to get planks under the tires, and I pulled it with my Jeep while he went forward and we got it. Unfortunately this poor sucker isn't getting anything under his.
Love your video and that tow truck is really nice with its control panels on both sides.The RV was also a beauty poor thing didn't know what to do without you lol.
I have a pusher - same size. First night I owned it, I questioned the RV park if the site they had me in was good for the big rig. My old rig was much smaller and lighter. They assured me. Well, I buried the drivers side tag and main axle in sand. They don't have any kind of posi even if you get some traction under the stuck wheel and dump the tag. Nice tow here - as was the guy that winches me out. You have to hook low and flat - this was a masterful job. Mine was not nearly as bad but takes a guy that knows what he is doing!
Could you have hooked to the trailer hitch? My motorhome has a 20 K tow capacity but a GVRW of 54 K. My rule is if the ground is the least bit soft when you walk, then keep off. I've seen several motorhomes buried to the axles.
I dont think the hitch pin could support all of the weight of the RV that ron would have to lift, better to struggle to strap it up and know its secure than having it be 3 feet or more in the air then come slamming down, for the customer to get angry and expect them to fix it.
Would never have entertained using the Ball Hitch ..The Fixing Pin is the Weak Point , Pulling Weight of the RV against bedded Tyres in the Mud creates alot more Resistance , not worth the Risk
Yea that Hitch would never support near enough, that 20k you talk about is only more around 2000lb of pull before you could and likely snap that pin. If you are ever at a auto parts store look at hitch's like that you will see they have a weight rating then a torque ratings which the 2nd one is what you have to keep an eye on. tip for anyone: NEVER drive anything remotely heavy on a lawn just after winter ends or even month after, its gonna be very soft and ^ that is what will happen with your toy like that.
A few winters ago my boss asked me to drive a 60' manlift into his beautiful grassy side yard so i could work on the side of his house. I said thats a bad idea because it will sink! He screamed at me that its been a cold winter and the ground is frozen and to drive it in or go home so i did and smush it sunk right in leaving two huge ruts! All that came out of his mouth the rest of the day was EF EEF EEEF LOL!
I would have chosen the 'go home' option,keep my equipment safe, and let someone else mess up his yard. I hope he is not charging you for the repairs to his lawn as you did warn.
Try it in a 4x4 telehandler; turns out it could actually manage to throw red clay rooster tails over the cab. After that, they trusted me when I said "I can do it, but you won't like it."
Have a new respect for tow truck drivers. Didn’t realize how much technology goes in with all this. Hats off to you and the great work you do.
And this is my problem with class A RVs. Johnny pencil pusher can drive his Honda Civic to his desk job and back every day for 50 years. When Johnny pencil pusher retires, he can sell his house and buy a class A RV without any training or licensure and drive it on the public roadway.
A very truthful statement !!!! Many rv owners never drove
anything bigger then momma's wheelbarrow in the backyard 🙃🛴
Even scarier when they're pulling trailers as well
We appreciate how knowledgeable you are in safety protocols and your gentle way of teaching others how to avoid this from happening when you said "We've had so much rain that you don't get off any solid surface" was indeed respectful and yet clear.

Both of these units are beautiful rigs. Looking to buy a class A myself in the near future. Hopefully I'll never needs Ron's help but it's a pleasure to know he's out there for us.
The world needs more professional like Ron. Just a classic guy.
Nothing like a man who knows his job and can do it well. 100% professional.
Wow, the RV is bigger than the house and garage combined ! Very nice of you to stay and help him get turned around .
We all make mistakes, a lot of rv owners would have tried to get it out with a 4x4 pickup and done more damage. This guy was smart enough to call someone with the prober equipment and knowledge to do it right. Better have that receiver hitch inspected for damage.
Gregg Collins he probably did that cause he didn’t have a 4x4 at his disposal
If ya don't have enough common sense to not pull this bus onto a wet lawn, what kind of confidence do you think the rest of us should have when you're churning up the road?
Absolutely, the right tool for the right job. Do that and it makes life a whole lot easier.
I seen an RV get stuck and he had his own chain to pull it out with, I assumed he had that happen before. He flagged down dump truck and asked him if he would try to pull him out.

That a big bus RV
That's the one thing I've come to really enjoy about your videos Ron, you're always showing us something different, thank you
Thanks for sharing. Thanks also to Sonny for allowing the rest of us to benefit from his not-going-to-do-it-that-way-again experience. The price of that journey just went up.
Boy that's one SHARP rig you have there Ron!! ALL the bells and whistles! Sure is impressive! Thank you Sir!!
You truly provide a great service and very very professional and if my coach is ever stuck I know who to call.... Thanks for the video
I really like the way you're talking to the people.
I even managed to get an airfield tractor stuck into the mud up to the rear axle...

tow truck man ... i like your style and your easy attitude....well done
I bet you Sonny pulled through a hundred times with no problems until this one time they had a bunch of rain. The way he backed out onto the road and quickly backed into the driveway shows he can handle that coach.
I've learned more watching your videos than I did it my last toe truck job. if I ever get a chance to do it again you're the guy I would imitate.
That is a beautiful coach. Very professional towing service....
I operated a Jerr-Dan 50 Ton wrecker in ND for a few years and always wanted to run a rotator. So much versatility! Mud recoveries are never fun especially when the combination weights over 120k UGH!
RESPECT !! TWO thumbs up !!! Be safe out there !! Love what you are doing !! Can't wait to see your next vid as always !!
It amazes me the new technology in wreckers, you almost need a degree in electronics to operate them but the artistry to winch without causing more damaged still remains the same. Good job.
Thank you very much and God bless.
perfect rescue Ron..i was born and raised in missouri and i know how wet the ground gets ..nice clean painless recovery..kudos on a pro job well done
MO born and raised as well, glad to see local folks haha
I dare say that in the summer that ground is more like concrete than mud.
Awesome!! Have never seen A big rig recovery vehicle in action!!? Can only imagine what it's capable of doing!! Thx
Good recovery with no damage.
When the guy said,,, ‘’’Well,, I nearly made it’’’’’. The rear wheels are driving, he didn’t make it by a long way.
I guess it’s not the first time he’s driven over the grass with no issue, just didn’t realise how sodden the grass was.
But I’m jealous of his motorhome.
Ron you are so awesome with what you are doing my friend
Amazing truck/tow rig. Loved the mechanical capabilities and skills displayed.
Impressive tow truck ... and great job by operator.
Good Afternoon Ron,
A nice and gentle pull getz r done! I gotta say that gentlemen wheeled that rig around pretty darn fast and accurate once he was outta the muck. A rig that straight and long is like trying to back a 2000 sq foot house with no windows down a one way alley!....it takes some practice...lol
Crazy Craig's RC's and 3d p
Almost all newer motorhomes have color backup cameras that are a great help.
The LONGER it is, The easier to back up.,....I have driven a 100Ft Tower/Platform Fire truck, Piece of cake.
...... And that's why you keep the big trucks out of the grass, I had to learn the hard way, lol. Good job!
First rule in recovery......never get the rescue vehicle off the hard pan, unless absolutely necessary. I've learned some hard lessons myself and have had to be rescued when I was suppose to be the rescuer....LOL. Thanks for watching and God bless.
My favorite part of each episode, and reason I subscribed: “GOD bless!”
Thank you
WORK WITH TOW TRUCK HERE IN BRAZIL AND I LEARN A LOT WITH YOU. CONGRATULATIONS FOR YOUR WORK.
LOL at the RV owner saying that he “almost made it.” 😂😂😂
Ron, I've subscribed! You're the most courteous Tow truck operator I've ever seen. God bless you! This is Chris, from India.
I just found your channel and I am in a complete bing mode. Keep up the good work!
Ron that was done very professionally coming from a veteran tow truck operator in Boston. I would have approached it the same way. Keep on Trucking brother.
Tator is getting some use on the RV's lately, Both you and Tallon know exactly how to handle them beautifully.
Its been a crap start to the year this year, 2018 has been nothing but wet and cold so far.
Thanks for being so respectful to all your clients. Blessings. 🙏👠👠
He got that well and truly planted Ron, maybe he was trying to grow a second RV.lol xx
Hi Ron, I've Fast becoming a huge fan of your video's. My nephew's is a fellow big rig tow driver ( Ohio ) and I love hearing his stories at family functions. What better then to watch them with you. I understand better now that I can see what it takes. Thanks for your effort and keep up the good work. Good bless and stay safe. Jeff
Sonny now has a good outline of what he needs to get paved.
That reminds me of the walkways at Ohio State University that were paved based on the paths the students took.
A good cemented pad to store the rug on. It's beautiful. Wouldn't want to see it sink in again.
I think that it was not his driveway he only needed to turnaround
Not even close, buddy.
That makes me a little nervous, it’s a big rig to be trying to turn around. Wonder why he just didn’t pull in a little and back out to turn around.
Ron made it over 100k! Enjoy your play button! Been around since maybe 30k and I greatly enjoy your content!
Great Job. I like the way you put all your equipment back in the right spot.
Wow! I didn't think you'd be able to reach under the bus to connect anything! Job well done!
"I almost made it!" This customer is too funny.....his FRONT wheel was sunk about eight feet in, just look at the track ! And as soon as those rears(where all the weight is on a pusher) rolled off the pad there was so coming back, sunk and spinning!
My butt was clenched before you attached the winch cable, but that was a very gentle recovery.
Pity RVs don't have more driven wheels, had to get wife to tow me off a grass pitch before with her minivan!
It's never a good thing when your tow truck guy says "Whoo boy!".
Ya
Can’t believe how much technology is on this recovery truck amazing bit of kit
Congrats Ron on 100k Ben here since 40k been awesome to watch your channel grow
Cool stuff
I could watch these videos all day. Great job.
ps your truck is like man candy...I love it so much!
I don't think that means what you think it means.
Wow I love this tow truck all the “gadgets” he has they are really something. He’s outfitted for anything. Love this show just started watching it today.
there is only one thing missing in this video. the wife standing there with her arms crossed and a sour look on her face saying; I TOLD HIM NOT TO PULL IN THERE.
John Meadows we don't need that, we can all picture it john. We have all seen that somewhere before.
PERFECT !!!
That comment caused a chuckle to come out of me. Been there, done that! LOL
John Meadows
P
John Meadows the wife is always right no matter what
My real name is Michael McCluskey. I've been subscribed to your channel for quite awhile,. You don't need to thank me for watching, I'm just happy to watch you do what you do.
Todo un profesional con experiencia felicidades por compartir sus videos saludos desde toluca city
Nice logo... so we can say thank God for people who can't drive... you have nice rigs
Nice not to hear screaming and swearing. Nice job.
Great job!!!! Only thing I seen that I wouldn't do is when you are discounting the toe rope I would have the drive get out, Don't trust anyone when you body is that close between 2 trucks.... Great job and you seem to be a very kind person!!!
That one of the most expensive RV sonny is doing good!!
he got it stuck in a muddy area, he isnt dong good, this vedio only. never put a rv in the mud
When a professional makes a hard job look easy. Well Done!
"Almost made it!!" Something better left unsaid.
Ron your one of the nicest guys out there a great role model in my honest opinion.👍
i cant believe i watched the whole thing. that was cool. thanks
Hey, Ron, you did a heck of a job pulling Sonny's RV Bus free; really amazing work you do. Guess, it pays to have the right equipment AND the experience to do that without causing any damage. Congrats, Sir!
Y'all Be Safe!
"As long as we dont start plowing" lol Farmer John in the back '40 lol. Good job boys :)

Ron u make it look easy like the professional u are
At what point did he realize he was stuck, when the drawbar was on the cement, lol. I think owners of those under estimate the weight of them at times.
I work on these Class A’s for a living and I can tell you the owners of these are the most clueless individuals you’ll ever come across
As big as those things are he was off the pavement for a while and didn't know because they are rear wheel drive so for the duration those rear wheels were on the pavement those front wheels could be anywhere and it wouldn't matter
I like heavy equipment. The operator is a very good skill. Very good engine sound. Thank you from Japan.
Ron, I only have one question for you young man. In all the time I have been following you I have never heard one f-bomb, s-word, d-word....nothing! With no "vocabulary, how on earth do you talk? Many men, and sadly women, too, can't get three words out without adding at least an "f" or "s" to what they are saying. You, young man, are a very refreshing change on RUclips! That is one beautiful coach and must have cost him pretty close to what your rig did for you.
Richard Cline So true.
+Richard Cline My apologies for the long delay in responding to you. The channel has grown to the point that I can't respond to every comment as I once did. Thank you very much for the kind words. I haven't always been the person I am today. I've learned some hard lessons, but they have made me a better person, at least I believe they have.

Well shit, anyone with half a clue would know not to drive that damn big ass house on wheels onto wet grass🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤷🏼♂️
Disturbed.S10 with the slides partially out at that.
I imagine Sonny knows that he just had a temporary mind fart. Sometimes you take risks and it bites you in the ass. Theres no way Sonny does that on the regular with that big beautiful bus.
My grandfather's RV was in a similar situation. We went to move it back to our house from the place we're staying at and as soon as we went to go it just sunk... The Jack's helped we were able to get planks under the tires, and I pulled it with my Jeep while he went forward and we got it. Unfortunately this poor sucker isn't getting anything under his.
Oh man! Tore up the front lawn, got the RV stuck to the wheel hubs - he's in the doghouse for a looooong time!
Deb Brown need a John Deere 1025r like mine will fix that lawn right up
The wife has a new spot to plant her flowers now!!
Bet he won’t make that mistake again because I bet that tow truck call wasn’t cheap either
Well, with his MILLION Dollar PREVOST....Probably has a Tractor, in garage...L.O.L.
@@bfast54 That's not a Prevost, but not a cheap RV either haha.
What a nice truck. Wireless controls are such a godsend.
Man! That's a nice Rv
You got an awesome job sir. I got 10 years as a cdl class A driver. Doing something like this would be awesome and rewarding. Id like the challenge.
"I almost made it." Famous last words . . .
Preceded by, "Trust me, we'll make it"
I’ve even said those very same words
That comment is 2 years old and still stands strong
@ ⁰⁰⁰⁰⁰⁰
Hold my beer. Watch this.
Love your video and that tow truck is really nice with its control panels on both sides.The RV was also a beauty poor thing didn't know what to do without you lol.
Practice backing that puppy up in a big empty parking lot, to avoid situations like that.
They turn and such like a bus/coach does, minus the "kneeing" feature
Great video nicely done recovery for Sonny. Thanks for letting us watch you get pulled out of the mud.
Beautifully done Ron!
Hey buddy. How's your weekend going? About to watch your video's soon.
Hey Partner your all over the place aren't you? My weekend was great man how bout yours buddy?
Good Job Ron, and professional. I like the camera not just for us but for liability situations
Thank you and God bless.
I was expecting Ron to find some good old boys trying to drag that RV with a pickup Truck, and of course hooking it by the RV towing hitch.
How about a farm tractor? Looks like the right place for one
I have a pusher - same size. First night I owned it, I questioned the RV park if the site they had me in was good for the big rig. My old rig was much smaller and lighter. They assured me. Well, I buried the drivers side tag and main axle in sand. They don't have any kind of posi even if you get some traction under the stuck wheel and dump the tag. Nice tow here - as was the guy that winches me out. You have to hook low and flat - this was a masterful job. Mine was not nearly as bad but takes a guy that knows what he is doing!
Could you have hooked to the trailer hitch? My motorhome has a 20 K tow capacity but a GVRW of 54 K. My rule is if the ground is the least bit soft when you walk, then keep off. I've seen several motorhomes buried to the axles.
I dont think the hitch pin could support all of the weight of the RV that ron would have to lift, better to struggle to strap it up and know its secure than having it be 3 feet or more in the air then come slamming down, for the customer to get angry and expect them to fix it.
or have the hitch come flying out destroying something.
Hitch is likely rated for 8k max the coach weighs 30-45k lbs
Would never have entertained using the Ball Hitch ..The Fixing Pin is the Weak Point , Pulling Weight of the RV against bedded Tyres in the Mud creates alot more Resistance , not worth the Risk
Yea that Hitch would never support near enough, that 20k you talk about is only more around 2000lb of pull before you could and likely snap that pin. If you are ever at a auto parts store look at hitch's like that you will see they have a weight rating then a torque ratings which the 2nd one is what you have to keep an eye on.
tip for anyone: NEVER drive anything remotely heavy on a lawn just after winter ends or even month after, its gonna be very soft and ^ that is what will happen with your toy like that.
I think I'm in love with that beautiful big old truck! What a wonderful piece of equipment
That truck is not old i can tell by remote controls i am towtruck operator 35 years and he did terific job!
ILOVE THIS ITSLIKE OPERATING OPTIMUS PRIME🔥.
New subscriber from the UK. Nice recovery and no damage to the RV.
A few winters ago my boss asked me to drive a 60' manlift into his beautiful grassy side yard so i could work on the side of his house. I said thats a bad idea because it will sink! He screamed at me that its been a cold winter and the ground is frozen and to drive it in or go home so i did and smush it sunk right in leaving two huge ruts! All that came out of his mouth the rest of the day was EF EEF EEEF LOL!
I would have chosen the 'go home' option,keep my equipment safe, and let someone else mess up his yard. I hope he is not charging you for the repairs to his lawn as you did warn.
Try it in a 4x4 telehandler; turns out it could actually manage to throw red clay rooster tails over the cab. After that, they trusted me when I said "I can do it, but you won't like it."
Thankfully it was his decision, his equipment and his yard!
Joe Bramblett sometimes people have to learn the hard way lol
Jamie, what it cost him to get it pulled out?
It sure didn't take Ron long to figure it all out. I'm still scratching my head. WELL DONE.
Don’t feel bad Sonny, I had to call AAA to get me out of my back yard after a summer storm hit from out of nowhere.
It is always fun to watch a true professional work. John
