TRACTOR MOOOOOOOVE. Helping a Dairy Farmer!!!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 30 вер 2024
- Still moooooving on without dad. One job at a time. This time it's a late afternoon move of farm tractor that won't move on its own. We use our Peterbilt 579 semi tractor and our Trail-Eze TE801 ramp trailer (super tilt) with a new planetary winch to load the tractor, haul it to the dealer, and then unload it, but we have a little trouble with the unload. Nothing a little experience and ingenuity can't solve, though. Again, I wish to thank everyone who has expressed their prayers and/or condolences for the death of my Dad. The outpouring of support from my viewers has been tremendous and has helped in this difficult time. May God bless each and every one of you. Also, thank you for your patience. I am still making videos, but I took a couple weeks off-call after my dad passed, so I wasn't doing very many jobs. This is another job trying to get to the new normal without Dad. I will continue to perform jobs and create videos, as long as God allows. Things will be different moving forward. I have to trust that God will guide me and this channel.
Again, a very special thank you to all my viewers, family, and friends who having taken the time to show their support. May God bless and protect you all!!

Glad to see you're finding teaching moments in all you're doing. Eli looks like he could be a good assistant swamper...
Yeah
Good to see you mentoring one of your son's friends. Your Father's knowledge is being passed on down through you to another. Beautiful thing to see. Teaching by "doing" not from only a book. God Bless you all as you continue life's journey even though your heart is still hurting.
Eli appears to be a quick study and has an awesome teacher. Also sounds like a very intelligent and common sense young man, he'll be great to have around when he can be there full time. Also wonderful to hear (and see) the relationship you have with Ethan. God continues to bless your family and business and your viewers get the privilege to witness some of it.
Eli seems to be the type to keep his mouth closed and ears open. He’ll probably be running the place in a few years.
The master and his apprentice cool, calm and collected as always. Professionalism and great teamwork as always. Eli looks capable and at home. Seasons greetings to you and your family and team.
Nice video Ron loading the Farm Tractor🚜 Looks like Eli is going to be a good man...👍
Despite that "Steer" joke, it was a Mooooving experience. 😂😂 Nice recovery Ron.
Ron would never steer us wrong. His every move is cowculated.
I'm glad you didn't let the joke "steer" your enjoyment in the wrong direction. 😂
:)
Utterly a great job and tutoring.
I didn’t see any Bull Shit on that farm
Loved your comment, "Turn right by the black cow." In England, we navigate by pubs: "Turn right at the Black Cow, go straight on by the Kings Arms and the place you want is a 100 yards past the Red Lion." Simple. Please accept my belated condolences for your dad's passing - very sad. Keep up the good work, I've been with you since a video which I think was called "Date Night". A date night which your wife spent in the passenger seat of your rollback!
Using landmarks and other visible objects to give directions is so much better than saying 2nd left and 4th right. Great comment OP 👍
Such a mooooving touch....thanking the ladies for milk....lol.
Great job! You two work well together! He listens and learns from the best! Be safe🤟🤟
"Moooo-ving" lol and you had quite the audience too lol I have to say that this video was just "udder"ly punny and to be honest, the"steer" joke was spot on LMBO great job for teaching a young man some tricks for chaining up and give us video viewers a bit of humor, thanks Mr. Pratt, I seriously enjoyed it, have a great weekend, God bless, be safe out there and watch out for motorcyclists, little kids critters and little old ladies going to Bingo
Winch work is what makes this channel different. You do a great job. Thank you.
Thank you very much! Thank you for watching and God bless.
Chain the front first when loading and unchain the back first when unloading. The kid reminds me of myself 😂. The first week working on power lines I had to hand roll about 100 yards of old copper line. I was so ready to work that I started rolling the wire at the first end I came to, then I carried a really heavy roll of wire back to the truck.
I did this a few times over the course of a month. One day my lineman looks at me and says, why don't you walk 100 yards to the other end of the wire and then start rolling it up, so when your done you're close to the truck? My mind was blown..😂
Thank you for pushing through to give us videos. Eli will be an asset.
Have a very Merry Christmas with family and friends. We love all of you.
Starting my Friday off with a Ron Pratt video.It’s going to be a good day..
Originally subscribed for you pulling out wrecks, but like videos like this one also.
Speaking of dad jokes. It looked like you had just enough dairy area to load that tractor. And you just had to wave at the ladies on your way out..
Stay safe, stay healthy, and god bless..
Ive always wondered how you can dea with those tires blowing, and how you can change them. Do you see any real advantages/disadvantages with the trail-eze compared to the lowboy/rear load style of equipment trailet?
Hey Ron! Good easy tow…too bad you can’t have ALL of them this easy! Watching your videos makes me miss my flatbed/step deck days sometimes, but, after trucking 38 years [and retiring in 2015] I really don’t miss it at all! Stay safe and God bless! MERRY CHRISTMAS! ~Jim~
Neat trick old school . All of the recovery videos I have watched I haven't seen that done . Eli looks like he could go bear hunting with a switch . lol Hope he keeps learning from you .
Nice video my friend ❤❤❤❤
A very creative idea ❤❤❤❤
I look forward to seeing your designs. Congratulations on your journey forward🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀
Fun watching you and your team work Ron! I hope I never need your services....but if I do, good to know you're ready when needed!!
Love all of your videos Ron. Was so sad to hear of the passing of your father. He taught you well and now it's your turn to lead the way. Keep up the great work and best of seasons wishes coming at you from Thailand.
So good to see your videos again, I’m cwatching from Olathe, Ks.
Lucky 13th viewer🤗
Looks like your helper is a quick study.
Awesome job Ron. I hope you and your family have a wonderful Christmas 🎄. I know this year will be hard for you. God bless you and keep you safe and well. Most of our colleges and universities have put a hold on exams and have gone to remote learning due to the virus. It's getting bad again up here in Canada 🇨🇦. I pray that Ethan makes it home safe for the holidays. Have a great day 😀
Prayers with you and your family during Jesus birthday as it will be hard with the loss. God Bless
Actually, Ron, I do enjoy watching something different. There are enough disaster vids out there,,, so it’s nice to see a MO sunset a dairy farm and some US cows, which amazingly enough, look very similar to English ones!,! Eli looks very competent and makes a good team member.. And that Trail Eze is one handy trailer. You are a great teacher.
You are finally doing " Normal Stuff". I know you get all different kind of calls but to be able to help a local customer is good. The worst part of the setting sun in the fall is that even with decent sunglasses the blazing sun can make doing any task road related a difficult thing.
I did not realize until this year that there are many different companies that made tractors. I bet Worldwide there maybe thousands of companies that make tractors and many other type of farm equipment.
You didn't know that Case/IH made farm equipment?? It's a merger several years ago between Case farm equipment & International Harvester. They both started independently well over 70 years ago. There's several machinery manufacturers, some are defunct, but some of their equipment is still in use.
With this particular tractor, one look at the hood gives it away😄
It says MXM, but that's just a name Case/IH put on a series of tractors.
Did you see the New Holland tractor when they were still at the dairy, it was easily recognizable. Years ago Ford merged with New Holland, that's why some still say Ford on them, rather than New Holland. Alot of mergers & acquisitions from very old companies.
You'd be surprised how few there are with many subsidiaries. Just like the auto industry.
More than you can imagine. New Holland actually doesn’t make their own tractors per se. They just slap their logos on them, different years of the same model can vary. Another useless fact is that there is one country that makes it nearly impossible to own any tractor other than the one made in their country, I think it’s Mahindra (the worlds best selling tractor)
You couldn't have gotten closer to that bucket if you tried.
Great video Ron! Those trailers do come in handy for many applications. Have a question for you: why haven’t you installed a headache rack/cab guard on the truck yet?
In may be his choice not to. In many jurisdictions a full sleeper cab is considered to be sufficient as a guard. If it is not mandated, it is an extra 3,000 lb. tare weight. Most styles will only stop light loads from perforating the driver and I've never seen one that will stop a greased 5 ton section of drill pipe once that gets moving at any speed over about 15 mph. I never drove sleeper so I always had a headache rack. That rack stopped a few 4x4s from ruining my day way back when.
Ron cant install a headache rack, as his hydraulic tank is right there on the cat walk behind the sleeper. The hydraulic radiator is also installed on the back of the sleeper.
Yeah. That's actually important. My dad knew someone who had their head decapitated after the were working to free a bulldozer that got stuck. The winch hook snapped off the dozer and flew through the rear window.
Thank you Ron for another awesome video. It is good to see and your swamper move a tractor. May God bless everyone. 😀🇨🇦
Thank you for watching and God bless.
Funny how you said "Truck #17" and I knew the truck/trailer combination right away.
I enjoyed the "steer" joke.
Thanks, Eli for using your gift of helps. Keep honouring God with the gifts He gave, and you'll go far in life.
God bless you, Ron as you make Dad Pratt proud, one job at a time, and every personal moment at a time.
Great video as always..... especially lately, I look forward to Friday morning especially because of your videos. Temporarily off work on medical leave for unknown amount of time. Gotta have major reconstruction surgery on my trachea and esophagus, but gotta get all the insurance nonsense sorted out before can have the surgery. At least, once a week, you give me something to look forward to....thank you and God bless you and all with you !!!!!!
hello Ron hope all is well
Eli looks like a great hands on lad who i think would be a great asset to the company if he chooses that path.
Ron may you have a blessed Christmas weekend I know it's going to be tough on you and your family my prayers for you and your family and your team during this weekend
Merry Christmas to you and your family ,Big thank you for keeping us entertained ,Take care best wishes ,Pete ,Wales uk .
I could watch your videos till the cows come home. Don't know "wether" that just a UK saying, but I'm sure you get the drift. Also having lost friends recently, I can appreciate your situation. Your faith will help you through this. All the best from theUK
Excellent job as always Ron! Have a Blessed Day
When you were comparing the difference in maneuverability @26:42, the length of the trailers is not as important as the wheelbase. Your trailer wheels are several feet from the back of the trailer. The grain trailer wheels are close to the back of the trailer. The wheelbases are probably fairly close.
I've been watching your videos for a long time, not saying anything, just watching and learning. I've enjoyed each and every one. My heart broke for your family when I learned of your father's passing. I can relate, as I just lost my father in early December. As hurtful as it is, whenever you need him, just reach deep inside yourself. You will always find him there. You and the family have been having my prayers for everything.
i think ive been watching Ron for over five years now , can someone tell me thats true i can remember one of Rons first job with the new rotator, thanks Ron never miss your videos
Only thing I can see is that you joined UA-cam 13 years ago. No way for me to check when u joined this channel.
Your job is not like most others. Each day is completely different from the day before. 👍
if only you'd used the ' tator .. then you could have gone tractor tipping .. as always you made this look easy
28:31 surprised I haven’t seen this trick before. Pretty slick, Ron!
You need some speed binders for truck 17 I know I wish had some for my flatbed trailer
Always nice to see young lads working in their spare time from college 👍
I love the way you explain everything to Eli as you go along without paronising you are a real mentor
A very good video showing that the Trail-eze trailer is a very versatile piece of equipment. The reverse winch line trick is quite handy to know, like a 'Holmes Tree', for doing what needs to be done against the grain... Now, what's the issue with the winch?
Great to see ya this morning got a new assistant he looks like a good one great vid I love the farm life get up every morning look up and say thank you for all you've giving me. God Bless be safe and from our home to yours Merry Christmas
Eli looks like he could be a great addition to the team. Merry Christmas to you and the rest of the Pratt family.
He’s a keeper! He keeps his mouth shut and ears open. He’ll probably be running the place in a few years
Funnily enough, we were driving into Brisbane, Australia's, CBD just a couple nights ago and they were setting up to load a council bus onto a trailer very similar to this one. Very exciting! If weren't running "close to time", I'd have probably stopped and watch them loading it on. About 30 minutes later, we were sat at the pub, having dinner, and the bus on the trailer drove past.
And now this video comes out.
Waves from the west side of brisbakers lol
Last scene looked like 2 tractors waiting on Mater to come tractor tipping
Ron that new winch on that trailer turns that truck and trailer combo a heck of a wrecker
He learns quickly by the looks of it. Great asset that type of helpfulness is.
What did the dairy farmer say to his tractor? Why won't you "moooove?"
Hey Ron & Eli !! Great job !! Eli appears to be into getting the job done !! Another addition to your crew !! Have a good holiday season & ""KEEP IT SAFE ""
I have a little tip when you tighten those binders down when the get tight flip he handle over backwards so it on the deck of the trailer and it won get loose
the chain flip at 28:38 was too perfect :D
Also, never good to see a tractor head to the dealership. that means $$$$$ repairs :(
WISH YOU AND FAMILY HAVE A SAFE CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR.
It was very MOOOving.. man i would hook up with that farmer. Everybody wants angus cattle.. no for my money i would take a Jersey any day.
Smaller bone, Sweeter meat. yummy.. They are typically smaller animals. but that's ok.. That farmer is milking pure butter.. very high butter fat content in the milk. As a kid we milked jersey, very calm animals they were real pets at times. We milked 20 head by hand 2 times a day. then when we were done we would get in the international and go pick up can milk from the farmers for AMPI.. both of those we 7day a week jobs. started at 4:30 am ended at 7pm every night. Fun times. milking and throwing 80 lb cans I couldnt do it now but that is why you retire after 75. and in our spare time we firmed 80 acres. Good times.
They also have less problems during calving versus the normal factory cow.
It's so nice to see you teaching another generation. He's young but can already spot something that could be a problem (the bucket). He appears to be learning fast.
Another successful day of haulage in the books
Wouldn't be Friday without a rotator Ron video. Stay safe and God bless.
#wherestalon
Thanks Ol Buddy fer taking us along - Cheers !!***.
I work for a Case IH dealer. Those MXM/MXU series tractors are still a very, VERY sore subject...15 years after they went out of production.
Just in this video we can see that Eli has good instincts as to what needs to be done and steps in to do it with very little prompting. He is a quick learner with a great teacher. Could be a keeper.
Definitely! He keeps his mouth shut and ears open
Thank you for the video Ron! God's fullest Blessings to your family this Christmas! ✨👨👩👦 - Kim
Of course Trail-Eze is cooperating with you. They see their products on UA-cam here.
Great video as always Ron, Wishing you and yours a very merry Christmas, and a great New Year..
Ron, Eli is proving to be an excellent employee. He understands and knows what to do after the instructions.
Got a good hand there with Eli. Great knowledge around equipment already and eager to learn, jumps into work not back away. Kudo's Ron for being a great teacher. Lost my wife 6 weeks ago, I know your heartbreak. Merry Christmas
Ron I must agree so much with the last two Posts And as for Eli what a great lad he is , So quiet and a great assistant at this time of your present life following the Passing.of your Father. Please stay safe &keep em posted And may I wish you , The Middwest team &All your family A good christmas and ahappier new year . &thats From the" Isle of Wight"(South England. )
Love watching you work Ron, but please try and stress to always walk around the front not the back of the loads/pulls.... Just trying to look out for you and the crew. Keep safe and marry Christmas to you all :)
I just checked if you uploaded then I got the notif when I went off bc you hadn't yet
Eli looks to be a keeper. A quick study and listens well to his teacher.
Blessings for the coming Christmas break. Praying you are not kept too busy with the cold coming in up your way.
A very moooving expirence for sure. Good to see the new generation looking at a trade. Merry Christmas and a healthy happy new year to you and your family
Love those Travelling Axle trailers(I always refer them as Landoll's). Such an awesome piece of equipment. Eli seems like a good fit.
Eli looks as if this could be the profession for him,
Hello Ron, I am so glad you have a helper. Eli looks like a very strong and willing to help young man. You are a great teacher. Eli can learn alot from you. Happy holidays to you and your family. Sending lead of love from your friend in New Hampshire. Love to you all. ❤ 💚❤💚❤💚❤⛄⛄⛄⛄⛄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄
2nd
Thanks for all you do in training the younger ones like Eli and Ethan. I look forward to when you say God Bless You on your video's. And I say that back to you my friend, "God Bless You!" Numbers 6:24-26 The Lord bless you, e is 25 The Lord make His face shine upon you [with favor],
And be gracious to you [surrounding you with lovingkindness]; and He is and He will. 26 The Lord lift up His countenance (face) upon you [with divine approval], And give you peace [a tranquil heart and life].’ And He is and He will. This is for you and your family and all of your employees and customers too. God bless you my friend Ron.
If you want an air horn that is the exact opposite of Wimpy, get a Mountain Air Horn...
I don't think you'll be able to mount it to the top of the cab, you'll most likely need to mount it to the Frame Rails behind the Steer Axle since they START at 6 FEET long...
You may also need a separate Air Tank to operate it without draining the Brake Tanks too low...
BUT when you blow them, EVERYONE within a couple of MILES will hear you...
PS: You might need Police Approval to use it within your County...those buggers are LOUD AS HADES!!!
😄😁😆😅😂🤣
Ron, I hope you and your family all the best during these difficult times. Ely was sent to you by your dad no doubt. Praise the Lord for the comfort he brings to you each day. God bless you and your family.
Hearing Eli call you Ron brought back an old memory: my Dad worked a second job driving a catering truck. I heard the owner's son call my dad "John" and was both surprised and confused. Later, it made sense, but here we are, history repeating itself again.
Everytime I see the snatchblock come out I wait for the Video Collab between Ron and SmarterEveryDay. :D
He seems like a smart kid. Love to see young people that want to work and learn.
Not many left at his age. Eli is a keeper!
I would guess that Trail-Eze is easy to work with because they want to be helpful, figuring that will keep Midwest Truck doing business with them and help them to get other business in the trucking, and towing and recovery industries. I like that no matter who you are working with you are always teaching, sharing how you prefer to do things. Most people must learn a lot from you. Please never change in that regard please Ron. LOL, I like that you thanked the cows for the milk. I like it a lot. Glad to hear your humor coming back after the death of your father. Nice job of unloading even with some extra work things went very smooth loading and unloading. My New Years wish for Midwest Truck is for 95% or more of all jobs to go that smooth and safe Ron. Seasons Greatings to your Familly and every one at Midwest Truck.
hello Ron, iwas wondering if you have any videos when you and family first started Midwest trucking?
Beautiful farm, This video feels like home to me. So many years of farm activities, and broken machines, and everyone just coming together to get stuff done.
Been a while and catching up on the adventures of tator. Sorry to hear about your dad. But glad to see you still teaching and passing your love for towing down. Eli sounds and looks like a responsible and properly brought up young gentleman, something you don't see know a days outside of small towns. Keep up the good work of mentoring the youth that come into your life. God bless.
Eli pretty smart I like him
You make a great team, as you pass on your knowledge to your young assistant. I like how you explain how and why things are done in a particular way, and bring out the safety points.
Great job Men! Grew up in a farming community and worked for a grain and cattle farmer . A lot of long hours and sleepless nights. Rainy days was repair days snowy days were plow days . Learned a lot growing up in the country.
Yeah, but just like teachers Farmers get weekends, holidays and summers off. Fortunately the cows 🐄 know when to stop producing milk / manure for Christmas and such.
Working in tight corners.Good job Ron & stay safe
What made that tractor to big for a roll back? Would it have been to top heavy or too difficult to get he CG right for a safe transport? I've seen full size trucks on them before like a F-350.
When's the last time you saw her mcbiff imma 32nd a Kentucky Colonel I'm a Kentucky Colonel myself I hope one day we can meet each other have a Merry Christmas my brother
Ron another fantastic 5 ⭐ video God bless y'all and Merry Christmas to you and your family and the whole crew from South Carolina viewer
cool. Eli is a productive guy. Moo-ving on.
I would just have let Eli roll the tractor off the trailer without any winching, and let gravity handle the unloading instead of using the backward winch manouver. Such a heavy machine would not roll far anyway and you would have saved a lot of time and rigging. Have a nice Christmas holiday.
RON Hello, old morning ,,08;51, nice to meet this young man, friend of EATHAN, MAN that trailer is sweet, was trying to see what brand the tractor was,nice job, yes too wide for the ROLL BACK, if I had not said it, MERRY CHRISTMAS,,& a healthy, happy safe NEW YEAR, to you and FAMILY , & employees, God Bless you all friend, CHERIO. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Couldn’t you have blocked the rear wheels & slid the trailer up instead of using the reverse winch line? Awesome Video as always Brother!
