- Hello Ladies & Gentlemen and as always, thank you for watching. This is another full 4K video!!! Playing in the mud...what a way to start the new year!!! This video was taken on January 1, 2023 and was already the third job of the year for me. Busy night, but I enjoy the work. This one was really fun!! I love playing in the mud. I don't know what happened other than this Volkswagen Jetta was left abandoned in a muddy farm field. The only access I have is a farm access road or from the two lane highway. We all know I've had trouble getting stuck in the rollback when it gets off the pavement...LOL. Even though we have 100' of wire rope on this truck, it still isn't enough to reach the car. I have to drag out endless loop slings and my Yankum Rope just to reach the car. There are several funny moments in this video that I hope you appreciate. Our Peterbilt 337 with a Miller Industries, Century LCG-12 and upgraded winch can handle this....I believe....we shall see. I hope you all enjoy this video!!! Thanks for watching and God bless!!!

Seeing all the mud by the drivers side door handle makes me think that when the driver got out, they fell flat on their butt! Then the boots barely stuck and bare foot prints seems like a quick get away was needed to avoid a DUI.
a good afternoon from the Netherlands :)
My new year started with my main bathroom toilet sinking through to the basement. Good times🤣🤣🤣🤣
Happy New Year! My husband started 2023 off by rodding a sewer. Holiday calls are the life of anyone in service work. Thank you for the outstanding service you provide. Stay safe, and God bless.
I do like the way you add the extra comments ( written in blue) . It helps to know the little but, still important thoughts. I've driven long school busses . My last one was a 10 speed and I held 103 students. It's funny that the school busses now have all had to go to automatics because no one drives sticks anymore. I can't imagine them using all the buttons you folks have on your trucks! Your boys are doing great! You're a great teacher and God bless you all for helping all the people.
Mr Pratt, Your joke about plowing the field reminded me that is some locations there was a step between the use of horse drawn plows and those attached to tractors.
That step saw plows being drug across a field by a stationary engine. The engine in question would be winding a cable with the 'free' end being attached to the plow setup.
We had a similar thing over here in the UK with two traction engines hauling a double-ended plough across the field from side to side, advancing with each pass.
My grandfather steered the plough in such a setup when he was a young lad. He recalled that the engines communicated by a sequence of whistle blasts, with one engine winding the cable in while the other let it out.
If he felt the cables become tight, he would leap off the plough and get under it, as there was about to be a half-inch steel cable whipping across the field.
Good morning Ron and Happy Friday the 13th, stay safe out there.
I've heard of a V plow (usually used for snow), but this the first time I've seen a VW plow lol
Thanks for sharing another part of your day, Ron. God's blessings to you and the Midwest family!
I was, relaxing this am on my porch enjoying Elvis Presley Gospel songs, drinking coffee, watching the cold rain in Florida then on my phone I see "??? VW yada yada plow something ..." I'm was like WHAT!!! close close see the mud.... LMFAOO now I'm heading in to get another coffee and watch on TV. Have an awesome day!! You need another pair of muk boots to leave in your truck so you can grab them no matter what track your use.
Ron, Ethan and Talon, we had a wonderful time talking to you the other day and glad you could use the flags, thanks for what you do
Those stuck boots reminded me of when I had a animal escape to the dairy farm next to out compound...I literally fell face forward into nasty cow poop and mud the dairy owner grabbed my by my coveralls and pulled me up...glad all is goinf well for you Mr Ron thanks for continuing to make these awesome videos I enjoy watching you make a plan...stay warm and dry be safe 👍
Thanks for this video. It was nice to see.
I am glad that it was off the road side and working from the field road where it was a bit safer then on the shoulder... As always love seeing all the jobs you do from moving a tank to moving a fire truck.
Nice straight furrows..hook the planter to it. 👍👍👍👍👍
Happy New Year Ron. Here is a fun fact from "Matt's Off Road Recovery" on the Yankem Rope. If you ever have to recover something that is all the way down to the floorboard and has a suction built up, put tension on the rope and let it sit. As the rope tries to go back to normal it will often break the suction without you doing anything other than waiting. At least you got a nice pair of muck boots for the shop! LOL
.
I also watch MORR! (Matt's Off Road Recovery) Love those guys and the other youtubers that are part of that family
It's not just a Yankem rope trick. If you pull tension on a regular line and hold it, bump the winch every so often, it will do the exact same thing. The technique is actually in an old military manual on how to recover vehicles from WWII. lol
@Mark Williams same here and also (Fab Rat's) as well
@@markwilliams3105 Dave Sparks is the real master of off road recovery. At least he doesn't bill AAA for unallowed towing.
Ron nice work
I say a good pair of muck boots in every truck is a must that way you never forget them have a safe and blessed day
wow, what a muddy mess for this recovery was great to see the farmer was not upset about the ruts you were making in the field, and the officer was great also joking around with you. you have some fantastic police officers and a fire department where you live I know you work with them a lot and how they all help you out. And always my Friday morning ritual of seeing your video
My guess would be someone coming home from a New Year's eve party who didn't want the police involved. Been there done that. My little brother hit a deer going home from my sister's wedding reception. I was following so we tossed the deer onto my luggage rack, tied it down and drove home. We then field dressed the deer in a 3 piece suit. Neither of us would have passed a sobriety test.
You and your guys should have a gear bag like a volunteer fire fighter. That way you can grab and go. Put your muck boots, hard hat, rain gear, and gloves in it plus what ever else you might need.
That's what we did at the company I used to moonlight at. Everyone had their own bag and you just tossed it in the passenger seat or in one of the lockers.
Man I need this new Volkswagen plow for my field... Love the title though. Ron I enjoy watching your videos. They are very educational for people who have always wondered what the towing and recovery industry is like. Keep up the amazing work.
Morning Mr Ron prayers and well wishes for all involved and prayers for your family and all the employees have a blessed weekend
If those boots were any more stuck, you would have had to call in the rotator to get them out! LOL!
Good morning from Southeast South Dakota.
Wow that was quick
That's a good start to the new year
♫ Mud, mud, glorious mud! Nothing quite like it for… ♫
MSHP uniforms look dang sharp.
Another nice job.
Sure did a pot of damage, pulling the rear inner guards out. But, I guess, that's modern vehicles for you.
Mr Ron looks like they walked out their boots in stride and never stopped. Thanks for sharing and stay safe
Likely they were intoxicated, hoped a cop didn't come by, called a friend for a pick up. Fortunately they didn't get hurt and the car can be fixed.
@@leonb2637 im curious why everyone always just assumes stuff like that theres like a 5% alcohol intoxication rate in accidents like these just because someone crashes in a field dont mean they were drunk alot of people swerve to avoid an accident an animal icy roads etc i think your just being rude with the ice and thaw cycle they been having the person probably just went off the road due to ice or wet road conditions(hydroplanning) especially if you look at direction of travel before crash the fact they hit the brakes and skidded and didnt try to drive out of the field before you make assumptions like that maybe pay attention to the accident and surrounding area
@@TylerDuysen A New Year's Eve "booze cruise" just seemed to fit the occasion.....LOL
*Slip Slidin' Away -----------*
*Great job, Ron.*
IF there's one thing Ron DOESN'T lack...it's a sense of humor while on the job! :)
Yes, it is good for any business to be busy in the beginning of the year. Though not pleasant to see any one finding themselves in an unsafe or difficult predicament. This includes our service people: first responders, linemen, tow & recovery people. Thank you Midwest Truck & Tow team for all you. Work smart, stay safe, and God bless.
P.S. . . . Next time, remember your muck boots.
Happy New Year. Good to see you didn't get stuck as well. 😃
I enjoy these videos so much more now, with the clarity from 4K recording, an excellent, professional choice.
Evening from Phuket Thailand
Good morning from Medford Oregon
Good job, Ron
Love the shot with it being pulled on th the bed with the boots on the trunk 😄😅
Love the banter between you and the police officers. Shows how good of a relationship you have built with local law enforcement
Ron
A tip
Before sowing seed for grass drill or use a core airator to poke holes in ground
Then apply the seed and starter fert
Then top dress with sand to fill the holes this helps prevent seed washing away sure extra work but as they sat
Proper prior preparation prevents pour performance.
This is coming from a certified horticulturist 😉
Good job Ron well done muddy but funny boots and foot prints Siloam Springs Arkansas
Happy New Year, Ron and your family/team this looks like another very muddy mess!!!! Much love to you, Ron and your family/team God bless you and your family /team stay safe in whatever you do on a daily basis!!!!! Your family member, friend, Bob Compton, from Maryland
Super job thanks for sharing. Blessings. 🙏👠👠
Not sure if Ron will see this and it is a month and a half later, but get you some straw blanket, over seed the area, cover with straw blanket and re seed. That should help with washing away the seed.
Happy new year Ron to you and your family Keep up the good work be safe out there
This time of year and the rains and it becomes the Muck Season. You and Matt's Off Road Recovery. At least you are not dealing with your old nemesis (overhead electrical lines) and potential life threatening road traffic.
Lots of people seem to be caught up in the muck boots thing, but I'd have to say that from my experience doing a lot of work in really muddy fields and job sites I'd rather have good, solid, lace-up boots than any type of slip-on boot that your feet slide around inside. I've used both a lot and except in deep manure I'll go with the regular boot over the muck boot for this type of work.
Ron, I am addicted to these videos! Could be worse things for sure! While the videos are great, you are doing something more important than towing and recovery. That is, you are following the example of Christ with your impartial compassion toward your fellow man. It comes through in every video you produce. Only thing you could do different is release one a day.🙂 (kidding) Have a Blessed Day! Murfreesboro TN
Stay safe out there.. Happy New Year to you and your family 🙏i have heard barefoot in the park but bare foot in the mud😊
Nice work. I enjoy your videos. Wish for more
Happy New Year to your, Ron, the family and Team Mid-West. Shame the wellies were 'back at base', but it was what it was! As has been alluded to, looks like the driver got away with nothing worse than a few bumps and scrapes and very mucky feet!! God bless from North Tyneside, UK.
And minus the boots, which is going to be difficult for the owner to report the car as stolen.
A very Happy New Ron to you and your and family.
A great muddy start to 2023!1 Whilst everyone else was “recovering” from New Years Eve, you were out there, playing mud pies.
I was really amused and surprised how the boots stayed stuck to the boot lid during the recovery. MO mud must have special properties. Also, It must have taken you a few hours to clean the rollback after, as well.
Stay safe. Best Wishes Roy W .UK
It's because Ron is so smooth. There is a video of him pulling a car with a can of pop on the roof... and it hadn't moved at all.
Monday the 16th my last day as a full time mechanic. Feb 1st I start with road side assistance and recovery😄
Hey Ron, Now a days you stop using Other Go-Pros on the big truck like you used to use for different angles. Now just hard hat one is there. I am fan of yours buddy. Really enjoy and learn technicalities watching you. God Bless.
Hi Ron,, and family Happy New Year..and I very much like the music..
Happy New Year, I was talking-to to the video "get the yankum rope" as soon as you took the rim sling out .
year is starting off good no Pratt fall out there in the mud
I just had to rescue a little rollback 2 days ago with my 1ton wrecker. This is the "new" company in town that got sent to recover a pickup that decided to go off roading into a ravine.. he managed to get himself stuck good while trying to recover said pickup so they called me to recover both of em.. a fun time was had by none.. especially when the owner of the "new" company found out the "competition" had to save the day..(I'm really not competition I do strictly off road recoveries and my equipment is geared toward that.)
Great work and footage 🎥🎥🎥✔️✔️✔️ but wow 🥺 that's really a recovery 😂 just some of the that wet chocolate 🍫 pudding weather ☁️☁️☁️🌡️🌡️🌡️
You could have used the Rotator for this. Extend the stick way out then swing it to cast the wire just like fly fishing. Then you wouldn't have to walk in the mud. That would have been a hoot to watch.😁😁😁😁
Still have to set up the rigging and the Gator would have to stay on the busy road. $$$ wasted every time more truck than required for the job gets dispatched?
Dang your trucks have great headroom!
yall could get a little 2 axle trailer for the rotator for jobs like this, may be easier to just pick it and plop it then tie it down. might have been able to do it from the paved road
Ron Wishing you, your family and all your crew a safe and healthy New.Year.
Ron and the infamous notched block of wood.
Love it.
Happy New Year Pratt Family and Midwest Truck crew! I really enjoy the rollback videos because I am fairly new to the towing industry and I am assigned to a rollback as well. These videos have taught me quite a bit on different techniques and methods, especially on recoveries. Keep up the good work!!
Awesome , Thanks Ron 😊
I enjoy watching your channel. I like seeing all the trucks. My 2 favorite are
1. Heavy-Duty 2015 Peterbilt 389 day cab 50 ton rotator tow truck tri-axle single steer
2. Heavy-Duty 2006 Western Star 4900 night cab 35 ton wrecker tow truck tandem-axle
You GOT to get the free-spool function on that winch fixed! A couple of big bolt holes on that V-block might allow you to insert a big bolt through and into a stake pocket or two and keep the V-block from sliding across the deck. Or, allow a loop passed through the hole and looped over the end of the block, with a hook on the loop to grab onto the edge of the deck and keep the block from sliding Hahaha - halfway through the video I saw the caption about fixing the winch free-spool! Well, at least you didn't have to worry about damaging the bumper.
Another idea , a " sheepshead " it's a unit that attaches to the end of the bed with rollers on each side , run the cable through it and makes side pulls much easier .
@@thomasfletcher760 Ron built his own. You can see it when he's getting the yankum rope out of the side box.
thanks for your service
When I was a teenager. I went on rums with my dad like this. A lot of the time it took longer to clean the truck and gear than it did to do job.
Ron get a length f chain and a ring, then attach the ring to that board you are using to keep your bed from being destroyed (with the cable) that the chain can go through and lock it into those chain locks. The board won't move farther than how loose that chain is. That chain is a secondary protection for your board to keep it from moving while you are pulling.
That's a extra charge for getting the boots out too ! lol
Happy New Year! God bless you and your family. We love watching your videos. My husband has me hooked on your videos. Awesome job!!
Happy New Year Ron
Welcome to 2023 and the joys of people's insane driving conundrums .
Great job
Hi Ron. Like many I would like to say thank you for the videos. They are both educational and entertaining. God Blass you, your crew, and your family This new Year. You and your crew try to stay safe.
Is that a Rabbit in the field or is that farmer growing a new crop and this is seed planter that can plow and plant. But no worry Ron can GET-DA-JOB DONE. 🚗🚜 MAN & HIS MACHINE GET-R-DONE 🥸🚜
As always Ron good job and happy and blessed new year to you and yours
I love your titles lol
What a real muddy mess ! Ron, Happy New Year to you , family, and team plus friends! I see the conditions there are bad as it's cold and wet here.. Take care , work safe ( as always) and GOD BLESS !$
Happy new year that was a muddy mess for you now you have to wash you tow ropes God bless
I take it the chap in the blue uniform is a “State Trooper”, he was very smart and well turned out.
All our traffic Police in the UK wear the same type of uniform.
Looks like you had a fair bit of pressure washing to do from that job Ron. 🙂🇺🇸 🇬🇧
Nice boots you got Ron
Happy New Year thank you so much for the video please post more videos a week and God bless
Great job getting that VW Passat out. You just wanted to play in the mud. WE all know you. :D
God bless you and yours stay safe out there ✝️
Ah, yes…. Rim sling on an alloy Volkswagen wheel in a muddy field! Can’t beat that! Happy New Year!
Another good teaching video Ron outstanding tow
Ron i getting into Matt's Off-Road Recovery territory now. You should drill a couple holes in the V block so you can put a couple pins through into the holes in the bed so the block stays put while you are pulling. You can possibly bet that car might be a rental since whoever drove it walked off and left it.
Gosto muito dos teus vídeos! Parabéns!
Happy New Year to all of you!
Volksplagen, eh? I was so excited to not see a Pratt fall. druge in the sludge, sorta thing.
Alex says to use the yankum rope. At least I think he would use it.
happy new year sir. may God pour out his blessings on you and family
Good job. As slick as mud.
You got feniex lights on your truck?
They looks good!
You could put a small bit of wood on the bottom of the wood with the V-cut you have so it'll stay put on the side of the bed. If done right probably would still work fine on top of the bed as well. Great job as always!
I was thinking an L bracket or 1x to hold the edge.
Happy Muddy New Year! 🤣
Happy New Year to you sn your family an your crew ! Stay Safe this year ! Cant believe they walked off an left the vehicle !
Drunken idiots tend to do that.
