Pretty sure we’re the only people that use snowcats more in mud, dirt, and rocks more than actual snow😂
Using the boom as a grader was genius!!
Its now a go cat
Hunter you all need a Heavy Lift Helicopter. You all could use one, been a lot easier on this recovery.
Salt Flats Cat!!!
@@opossom1968 What helicopter can lift 40-50 tons? And how much is it? Genuine question.
Couldn’t have asked for anything better than part 2 to this recovery today. So pumped to see the Prinoth on another video!

I have never seen anything pull like that Snowcat, truly amazing!
Your recoveries impressive.
Also, based on this recovery and your recent recovery with 'Matt's Off Road Recovery', it's great that you and Utah prioritize clearing Utah's magnificent terrain of manmade debris.
They've got a bunch of expensive toys and do everything without thinking. I mean, it makes for the good content, but I would like it to be more professional.
@@PuerRidcully VERY expensive toys. I've done a few mild 'recoveries' myself over the years and have some opinions on it. But these people have been doing it at scale (both quantity and size) for many years, and in very diverse terrain. What we see on screen doesn't qualify either of us to consider them unprofessional. Clearly, they have enough structure and discipline to accomplish a lot of tough jobs.
They have no concept of any type of physics.
@@jefftobey1102 I'm a retired mechanical engineer. While understanding vector arithmetic as applied to force, momentum, impulse, work, power, etc. could be useful, what they know better than me (and most likely, you too) is how to get a job done in widely varying terrain, with the equipment that have, and how to maintain, repair and upgrade their equipment, even under adverse conditions. Implicit in accomplishing a lot of the jobs requires at least a visceral knowledge of physics. I've seen some of their jobs where my approach would differ. But without having done them, I can't say for a fact my approach would be better.
@@gregparrott It's as simple as not pulling on th sucked down object and at an angle to the boom... in flat terrain
The HET and the snowcat make a great team 🤘🏼
Definitely :D
The Snowcat is a frickin POWERHOUSE, daaamnn
The snowcat seems like a perfect solution for recovers in this location, granted there isn't any snow lol
Yup thats why the TRACK WENT
@@CORNDODGER Those tracks were way too loose. That is what I do.
@@schwags1969 Well I was a cat mech for Winter Park Ski Area for years went to Logan Utah every year for Training so that is what I did whats your point? The sand and dirt do not allow for the cooling effect as snow does on the BELTS yes they heat up and expand some ! But pretty sure them guys do not know that you cant GRIND the tracks in DIRT like that TURN on a dime like SNOW ! I will lay money on the Drive wheel teeth got soft from heat
@@CORNDODGER Well who knows the condition of those tracks, you will always blow an inside power belt first then the rest just follow, funny it is usually the RH track that goes south first. I get what you did, I still do it for 25 years...if you want to get into a pissing contest. I do not.
They needed one of those John Deere tracked units like the one they featured in a previous video...I thought for sure he'd buy one just for these recovery videos
You guys amaze me in every video, no matter the weather, even when every bit of kit you own is breaking, buried, or falling apart you still get the job done with a smile. I wish I had as much patience and dedication as you Dave! 😂
I would never have believed you actually could have done it. It was so heavy! When HeavyD has a challenge it only makes him and crew want it more! And your so thoughtful to straighten out the land before leaving. You guys are so awesome. Love watching your adventures. Never dull or boring!💕
Absolutely outstanding recovery everybody. Lots of horsepower and laughs. Keep up the good work.
That’s wrecker sounds epic!! I love these recovery videos, the wildest ones are always good to watch! No issues for you guys!
Anyone else enjoy the sound of that old 2 stroke Detroit screaming coming across there? Love the exhaust note of those old beasts
They do sound cool, to me not as cool as a V8 Cat, but still very cool.
8V92 you think?
Love watching your guys content. Over the years I've worked construction, public works, Land clearing, few years in Montana rock picking for masons, and the last almost 20 in the Tree service industry and there's nothing more fun than having to MacGyver your way out of a jam. Watching this episode it seemed to me the biggest issue was the rear crane tires dragging causing all of the resistance. Think you need to have Hunter design you guys some burley steel sleds that you can sit the rear tires on that strap on and have a vertical wall on the sleds that's on the inside of tire. That would have reduced your resistance drastically having to pull that dead weight across the salt flats.
Although that looked like one hell of a tough recovery, it did look like the most satisfying recovery.
"One of the most complicated recoveries we've ever done."
Is it just me, or do all of Dave's videos start with this line? (Just teasing, love the vids.)
They keep one upping themselves lol thats why
Tim Taylor's home improvement recovery team: more power.
It appears every tool gets damaged here.
I've seen a lot of their videos, this has been the hardest one i'd say =))
Bro, the Detroit on full send is music to my ears. Good work!
Love watching all your recoveries and can't wait for your next one. You are the best, all of you!
I would really like a good walk around “show-and-tell” of the HET. It’s sounds ridiculously cool and I bet the driveline is insane. I know it just kinda got tossed into the videos. But please, give us a build bio!
The het sounds like it has a old 2 stroke Detroit
@@brandongrant8681 it is a 2 stroke Detroit
V8 92 series?
It's definitely a 92 series Detroit and not a 72 the 92 has a deeper like rumble to it
@@brandongrant8681 Wikipedia says 8V92
Yet just a reminder the Heavy D and crew do it again, this team is unbelievable odds against them they get it done. Just an awesome job. This is the team you call when things. Seem impossible the make it happen hats off fellabs.
Thank for recovery
Impressive recovery to say the least the lake bed is a bit cleaner and I hope the community is thankful as well. Nicely done
You truly have a great team. The people of
Utah, thank your team very much. Stay safe.
God bless you.
love the fact every time heavy d goes this might be one of our biggest recovery's ever hahah
Another fantastic recovery, it's good to see the team come together every time the situation takes a turn for the worst
they could have done it much faster if they had cut it up in pieces...would have saved so much trouble for them
You guys are awesome, not only are you incredibly smart when it comes to your recoveries. but prioritizing cleaning up the land shows your good people. I would love to work with y’all some day. Even just for a day though if I could do what you guys do every day I would in a heart beat. I hope some day I’ll be able to get some equipment or even a a good pickup and trailer to do some of what you guys do out here in Colorado. Have had a real rough time for the past few years and watching your videos and seeing what you guys do to help people makes the days just a bit easier to get through thank you for what you do and for sharing it with us. It would be incredibly awesome if you converted the back of the snow cat into a wrecker set up, the thing would be unmatched.
This has been one crazy recovery from the start, thanks for not giving up on getting this off the flats. You all are an amazing crew 😀👍❤️❤️❤️
Pretty cool guys. Our environment and all who care about it, thank you.✌️😎
Nice recovery, love watching recoveries, cleaning up the environment and making things safe. I would recommend investing in some oil rig matting. Just topple the crane onto the matting and then it’s easy to lift the front end of the matting. As you pull away the matting grades as you go. Check out how massive oil rigs get around in Canada in some of the worst conditions you will ever face. Maybe look into buying a Commander which is what we use to move incredibly heavy loads in impossible conditions. I really appreciate that you guys did what you could to level out some of the ruts. Well done.
All cool ideas, BUT WHEN cables or their fittings break the human tragedies that eventually occur aren't worth the "cool videos". The Canadian oil fields suggestion is good IF you have Major Oil Company $$$$$$$$ to "invest" in a job. And a "rented" heavy lift helicopter would only apply IF "a Whole Lot of TAXPAYERS" were footing the bill.
SO, cutting torches to make the job into easily managed "bits" for the heavy equipment you already have is the most reasonable ( tho much less photogenic & Exciting ) way to do it. Also much SAFER & would have the whole crew home in time for a regular suppertime & good bite's sleep for the next day's potentially hazardous tasks.
Always remember " there are Bold pilots & there are Old pilots, but Very Few who are both Old & Bold " ( plus you wouldn't be Wasting Time & $$$$ repairing or replacing broken equipment )
Just a Very Old Aggie's 2cents
Peace & Good Health to all
I've watched both episodes.. incredible job well done... against all the odds and massive weight of the crane...hope fixing the equipment went smoothly...
Two suggestions: 1-acetylene torches to cut some of the extended weight off of that beast, 2-a CH-54 Skycrane helicopter. It would compliment your fleet nicely.
S-64 would be the better option. It's newer and there's more of them available since it's the civilian version.
@@Drummin003 I’m a skid kid from years gone by. Any idea what one can lift?
A Skycrane can't come close to lifting that, maybe some of the parts, it's limit is about 10 tons and this was 20+. Also good luck finding a skycrane forsale.
A helicopter capable of doing big lifts would be an amazing expansion
@@Drummin003 Considering there were only 31 built, that doesn’t bode well for availability. I didn’t realize they were so rare.
I can't seem to get enough of you and your team! Raffle off a chance for one of us fans to join you on an adventure!! Keep it up Heavy! Appreciate you!
Cant believe how strong that Snowcat is pulling that Oshkosh even when the Oshkoshvwheels are locked. Very nice recovery video
And it is done !! Never doubted that you would achieve this, even with all those extreme challenges ! Very impressive
It’s so cool to see you & your *beast* crew in action & watch your minds work on these big projects/recoveries. You’re all intelligent people with big hearts. A motivation for me & many others. I just appreciate grit & philanthropy when I see it. You’re all one unit.
As usual Dave, you and your team worked together as an well and with awesome effort to make sure that the Great Salt Lake is clean and kept "Beautiful" as it should be.
Thanks for the effort you put into doing a great job!!!
Great work you guys all do to help keep these places beautiful and clean thank you
This looks awesome! I love the big machines and doing recoveries with them to help out anyone whether it's a state or a straded driver this is good stuff keep it up! Wish I could do something like this! Love it
I'm glad y'all kept Allen around! Awesome video guys!
I just witnessed some amazing horsepower and traction.
This what i love about you guys and the videos you make!! Your not Afraid of a challenge and don’t give up!!! Awesome guys ❤️
you guys are awesome. Thank you for helping to keep the beautiful state clean.
Glad to see you were able to finally get back out there to finish recover the crane. Dang that Snowcat has got some power!! Thanks again for another great recovery Vlog. They always seem to be an adventure for you guys. They are definitely fun to watch.
That was amazing. I just can't watch enough of your recovery videos. Thank you and keep up the awesome work.
Thank you sir for your service
I love how you all keep calm! You are all so patient.
I used to drive a four track tucker sno-cat. That thing was a beast! 70’s vintage
Thanks for watching ♥️
Hit me up 👆👆 instantly
Beware of Bot
Awesome recovery surprised you guys didn't bring a cutting torch to chop some weight of it, make it less top heavy. Also may have made it easier to get it on the trailer.
That green wrecker is a total beast !!!! 💪🏼
We need more amazing people like u and ur team all over the world.. how much better would our world be.. amazing team, amazing job and what a great thing u do for people.. love u guys, love ur amazing content 👊 keep up the great work 👏 👊😊
Man I can’t express enough how much happiness you guys bring me!!! Thanks
Wow, an amazing recovery that took out everything you all had. Team work is what makes things happen to get it out. Great job Heavy D🤙😎
Thanks for watching♥️
Hit me up👆🎁🎁
We would like to Appreciate you..
I look forward to tomorrow to see you guys man it's so tough sometimes I'm just glad you guys go out and help people get unstuck I'm glad you help people that's what life's about man
You guys need to make a flat sled that you can get these dead machines onto to help them slide better on sand/mud/snow. No hills allowed but it would have helped tremendously on this recovery.
Yeah I can't believe they didn't make any sort of sled and just dredged with it the whole way back.
@@jopainting1668 exactly, plus you wouldn’t have to back fill the mile long trench it dug.
That old Detroit Diesel in the HET really putting the work in this time!
Love it!!
I may never visit this area of the lake, but I appreciate your cleaning up some of the mess others have left behind. great job, this was no doubt a tough recovery. the crew looked like they had a good time doing it too. bummer about chewing up the track, hopefully its a relatively easy fix.
Круто
You are all hell of one team, so much love watching your videos from kenya East Africa
Your determination is incredible! Great job.
Ancient History: While in Desert Storm, I had a "yankum" type rope attached to my tracked vehicle to pull vehicles out during convoy moves. Best one I remember was yanking a HEMMT Wrecker towing a HEMMT with Trailer loaded with more then 40 Tons of Ammo
Love the recovery videos! Keep up the incredible work.
I love watching all your videos. I have always loved trucks and you just take that love to a whole new level. Thank you for all the love you put into your videos. Gerri
yes it sure did .thank you for sharing the adventure 😀.
As they say another one bites the dust you put another notch on your head post great job guys God bless you and have a great week

Wow what a heck of a recovery that snowcat is one bad machine something to for sure have in your arsenal of vehicles for recovery great video guys
Best use of snow cat i have ever seen. Awesome idea
Ha I just found your videos and have been watching them , you all are awesome .
And the snowcat got me and my wife crying .
It would be a life time experience to go on a recovery with you guys!!
Definitely sounds like it would be fun to experience a recovery with those guys
Love the abandoned equipment recoveries. Do more of these.
Scam
Love your channel / the personality s / the content/ the filming / best of all your heart ♥️ bigger that you don’t change - always watching and waiting on your next great Deed!
You guys did ONE HELL OF A JOB........Kudos's to all. Wish I can afford you all a cold one.
Watching from here in the UK where, if there's one flake of snow, the whole country grinds to a halt, (Schools close. Buses stop running, etc) it is so good to see these blokes 'fighting the odds.' Proof, if 'proof' was needed, that you don't know what you can do, 'til you try.
I love these videos, and always look forward to seeing them.
please, keep them coming.
love the footage and the cool music - love this operation as it nearly did not succeed - and the only thing that is holding is the rope - wow love it
You guys are amazing. Love your vids and your commitment to get it done.
Dam the sound of that wrecker... I am in love haha
Thanks for the feedback,
Reach me through the What'sap line for more info and guidance..
I’d be willing to bet there’s no other recovery team on the west coast that could have pulled off this job. You guys are absolutely amazing!
Have you heard of Highway Thru Hell? There's and episode where they recovered two totally buried excavators and they needed to use custom made links and 2 D-9 dozers. They're cabs we're all most under. Unreal recovery
Dave is a decent operator and they've got equipment. That's about it. They've shown repeatedly they know nothing about rigging, cranes/lift. Entertaining? Yes
@@zachX6452 it’s the equipment they’ve got that sets them apart from other recovery teams. For example, Matt’s Off-road Recovery does a lot of interesting jobs, but none involve extremely heavy equipment. And while someone could have used a cutting torch and chopped this old rig up, that wouldn’t work for other recoveries.
About the only accurate thing in this video was when heavy called it a circus🤣 the man doesn't know what he's doing, he just has enough money to try whatever comes to mind which includes being a pilot one day and a heavy duty tow truck operator the next. I cant speak on being a pilot but as someone in the heady duty recovery business these videos are hard to watch...
tipper truck with a hiab crane and a oxy cutter torch easy
Awesome job! Only thought is maybe consider making a set of "Ski's" out of wide flange I-Beam for the crane. Thinking they'd slide across the sand better than the 4 wheels that were just plowing most of the time.
... ✍️
The company I work for does heavy haul and they welded up skies for when we have to push the trailers under a load, 13 axel and 96 wheeler (up to 225k lbs+ just trailer) they work great. I'm surprised he didn't cut up the crane more.
You Boys sure are Heavy Metal.....just never give in and always win ! Hats off to you again !!
Adding this one to my all time favorites list,,,,watching,you’re vlogs just makes me feel good.
Sure love seeing guys who are not afraid of "using "their equipment to its fullest potential. (And beyond sometimes) impressive to see what those Yankum ropes can do. You could never do that with a chain. Jake doesn't have to worry about the T800 being tested. Keep it up! P.S. what size rope are you using there?
Great video! As always!
I’m watching this thinking about solutions...
What if you got ahold some of those steel road-construction plates they use to cover trenches for traffic to drive over, put a few on the flatbed before loading your rigs, then hook to them as skids under the vehicle being recovered to minimize friction?
Maybe next time!
Thanks for sharing!
Awesome recovery Sparks ur the man 💪
Always an adventure! Hunter and Al are having way too much fun🙄😀 need to formualte some sort of slides for dragging stuff onto the trailers even maybe other areas... like a big version of those furniture sliders they have.. get ahold of those companies and see if they can make it happen.
Awsome recovery, i feel like if you had made some large type of skis for the tires on the crane, it wouldnt have been that difficult!. Nonetheless great job and thanks for the videos!
Exactly... the plane fuselage even could have acted to ski the crane.... but if it was cut into smaller segments it would also help. Smarter not harder.
He covered that in the first video or one right after it
@@williamuskoski1385 i did catch the first one but its been a while so i dont remember everything about it.
Thanks for helping to clean up out beautiful GSL.
that snowcats is absolutely SICK!!!
I figured you would have had the lake sled designed by now for this one…. Awesome heavy metal stuff
I was just going to ask the same Question - Some kind of Skids - lift one side put under then do the same to the other side. Pull the Sled/ Skids?
That sounds like a great idea! Like pickup the crane and set it on like steel or thick aluminum sleds then pull it on that type terrain
I’m wondering why you guys didn’t bring a steel plate to skid the front of the old crane? Seems like it would have made the pull much easier on your equipment. Keep up the good work guys!
A sled would be a great addition to the recovery process. A couple of long wide skies might even work for all these frozen wheels recoveries. Could hang them on each side of the HET.
It would not make a good video if a f150 pulled it out on a sled . Because that’s all it would have taken. Probably could have used an eco boost lol
I think he mentioned in another video that flat stuff like that just suctions on to the salt flats
@@JS-zb1vv Until you hit a soft spot and sunk to the axels. If an 8x8 can get stuck an F150 stands little chance unless equipped with agricultural tires or tracks.
@@fukkitful that 8x8 is way to heavy!! My point this was all for show !! But a small truck would have done it . If it would have been on a sled easily!! Fun to watch.
Wow I am amazed Truly Amazed that you accomplish that sure just goes to show that Dave and his crew are on the top and can move Anything way to go keep up the good work you’re all my heroes awesome!!!!
watch both video,s from start to finish from Northern ontario Canada . Amazing Job Guys :
"One of the most difficult recovery's I've ever done " says that on every one
Need to design a track system for the wrecker that fits over the tires, keep up the great content guy's!
Half track Oshkosh wrecker now that's an idea!
Right on again, boys. You all are awesome.
You guys are awesome, respect
“This is the most difficult recovery we’ve ever done” - Says before every single recovery video
Scam
Why not get some steel, bend it like some big skis and put it under the crane? Drag it that way
The state of Utah and Mother Earth owe you guys a big Thank You! Great job guys.
Awesome video guys love how much work that equipment can handle that's crazy
Dang, now I recognise why I keep returning to these HeavyDSparks videos. I wanna come with you blokes. The next best thing is to watch ...and learn and NOT get in the way.
