I loved watching this operator. All I can think is EXPERIENCE ! It was cool to see him lift the grapple and pull all in one motion. And what a nice trailer with ALL THE OPTIONS !! Thanks Hank n Wiley for sharing this.
Thanks for another great video. It was interesting and enjoyable. Wow and more wow. Got to say interesting. What a mess this place was. Super driver you have. He got the job done. Have a nice lunch guys. Thanks to Wiley and hank and the driver for good work. Thanks The Iowa Farm Boy
So what did get sketchy quick? It looked all smooth to me, thanks to the great truck driver, he did it mostly by himself! With the exception of Wiley whi was impressive. I wished you guys explained why he removed that cover?
Hey Hank: My Pa. German accent comes out once in a while, when I talk with the right people up here. But those two Good Ole Boys with you and Wiley, W O W.
Great video!! I love old industrial machinery especially massey ferguson. I have a mf400 crawler and mf40 and 50 diggers. My only concern as a farmer was how skinny the cows were. Not much in the way of grazing!!!
That is so great that you guys are recovering and hopefully bringing these beasts back to life. I am doing my part but a bit smaller scale though. I have found some really great stuff and restored it to pristine running condition. I have an Oliver 550 that I found in an old commercial swimming pol where the stands and building burned down.
@@Hfoutdoorsyt That is why I mentioned it. Where do these machines that you find go? And how do you find them is probably a better question. Your family is awesome my brother. It is so cool how you get everyone involved....to an extent...lol
From the first glimpse of these machines (abandoned relics), sitting for years and rusting away, and waiting for someone to come and rescue and restore them to their original glory, I am in awe. They were once pretty and new and clean and powerful and moved millions of board feet of lumber from swamps and forests. They were the giants of their time. I don't know (I wish I did) the person who has the money and the resources to bring these machines back to life to stand proud and their engines roar again, but my hat is off to them. Thank you for making this video. I really enjoyed it.
Ron Prat is out of Springfield Missouri and he is a big towing company and the name is Midwest truck. I am subscribed to his channel and I watch him all the time.

I don't know what caused the fire in the first skidder but I have seen several instances where a hot exhaust has ignited dry grass underneath the vehicle.
You tell me what Love’s you’re close to, I can tell you what restaurant they have 😂. I bought 22,000 gallons of fuel from them in 2022, and I get at least my first 300 gallons each week from our yard. Plus occasionally I get fuel at other truckstops. Love your videos.
Excellent video Hank :) , Wiley :) also crew up hear in Ontario Canada when rain also sunshine we call it (Sun Dogs) may sprinkles bring big showers for next following days to many days we need it or be drought! Thats famous Canada Farmers Theme!
Another awesome video Hank! I've GOT TO KNOW - what's the music that starts about 4 minutes into the video just before Wylie says "Sometimes all you can go is just WOW." It's absolutely EPIC. Almost as epic as you, Wylie, and that driver. :)
Yes, I watch Ron Pratt as well, good safe recovery of all types of vehicles, usually on main roads too...but I always watch yours too for entertainment...
Love that pedal steel Guitar music piece with the Banjo and Hard guitar... cool piece of music Hank. Nice! Cows wandering around... collective intellegence of wood knots lol Gotta love them though [particularly the T-bone parts] lol
Wow, I hope days like this one are lucrative - that’s a tough way to make a living. I guess the good spare parts are worth more than the acquisition and transportation costs.
Experienced guys working together. Don't need some kids standing around looking at their phones. no need to say "Grab that log, bring the chain" and so on. 4 guys who are good working together, laughing all the time, getting it done.
I like junk just as much as the next guy. But man the cow pasture drives me crazy! lol I’d have to at least have it organized with things in rows. Good thing about being spread out is the cows have kept them from by getting over grown with weeds
I might've already mentioned this but about 20 years ago I watched a guy get hit with a cable from a car hauler. He was pulling a '72 Chevy truck with no axles under it, just sitting on the springs on planks, from my fathers trailer onto the car hauler. He was running the winch control on the side of the car hauler body and the cable snapped and he hollered, grabbed his face and bent down screaming. I thought half his face was ripped off. He stayed bent down for a long time while we were asking if he was ok. All he would say is my nose. Dad asked is it still on your face or something like that and I don't think he answered but felt to see. It seemed like 5 minutes went by since he got hit and he finally stands up now holding his nose, he takes his hands down reluctantly and all he had was a little blood spot right on the end of his nose. One of the wires from the cable stuck him right in the end of the nose. I don't know how deep it went but it must've hurt really bad. When the cable broke the hook flew, it didn't slide because the center of the trailer was not decked, probably 15 or 20 feet under the truck and hit the pintle hitch tongue on the front of the trailer with a lot of force. It was moving! I thought of this as you guys were standing, what looked like, close to the cable but off to the side of it. When cables break they don't go straight back to the winch or the load, they whip. That big winch cable would take your legs off if it broke. I hope this story helps someone. God bless you all!
They have a nice landal I rebuilt one you must keep the calcium off landau tralors I've learned running welding bisnes I've worked on a few that looked great tell I got under them and did lots of replacing beam and boxes too keep them going any one who owns nice landal wash it few times a year and keep up on rust prevention
How about a Will it Start video on that CaseIH (maybe a Magnum but I didn't catch the number) tractor in the background where you loaded the second skidder?

Thanks!
I really appreciate that!
Amazing to see older generations working together to save that old machine. I saw over 600 years experience working together.
Been married to an old gent 40+ years, just like these old coots! Love it. Glad they respected the driver tho😉
I was a member of the usaf red horse unit in Vegas and was very proud to be a team member I really enjoy your videos and a good laugh is very healing
i keep telling you OLD GUYS RULE great video look like a bunch of old guys having a good time God bless
😁👍

Howboutcha! Have a good day
Epic recovery guys...heroic performance by Wiley...Great video...best one yet..thanks for sharing.
Thanks for another great video.
It was interesting and enjoyable.
Wow and more wow. Got to say interesting. What a mess this place was.
Super driver you have. He got the job done.
Have a nice lunch guys. Thanks to Wiley and hank and the driver for good work.
Thanks
The Iowa Farm Boy
Great content Hank, love seeing abandoned equipment recovered.
Thank you!
Hi guys love to watch you guys best videos on UA-cam
Thanks much
Your videos are always fun to watch for the whole family. I've never heard any curse words or negativity.. Keep up to good work.
The rain are tears and the sunshines joy. So....tears of joy that you got that monster off the truck.
So what did get sketchy quick? It looked all smooth to me, thanks to the great truck driver, he did it mostly by himself! With the exception of Wiley whi was impressive. I wished you guys explained why he removed that cover?
That driver deserved a nice TIP having 2 deal with all that foolishness….what patience and EXPERIENCE he has
Sunshine and rain is Partly Rainy!
Interesting video, thanks 👍.
Mr. Hal and Mr. Wilbert at Sumter Wrecker would love these recoveries.
Looks like a rest home for old equipment, love that old trucks and equipment
Scrap value could help with cost of cleaning up and selling the place? Or not I guess.
Ron is amazing I follow him everything by the numbers and all go home safe and mater is the finest of rotators
For sure
Hey Hank: My Pa. German accent comes out once in a while, when I talk with the right people up here. But those two Good Ole Boys with you and Wiley, W O W.
Enjoyed this video Hank and Wiley. That was a hard one. Amazing what can be accomplished with the right equipment.
Great video! The driver/operator has done this a time or 6. Experience pays.
Great video!!
I love old industrial machinery especially massey ferguson. I have a mf400 crawler and mf40 and 50 diggers.

Awesome morning brothers !!!!

That’s awesome. Have you seen our Oliver playlist?

I gave you a thumbs up Hank for: "Where are we eating?" I respect your priorities.

Good morning Hank and Wylie. Looks like you got the heavy iron on this one 🤣
As Ron would say there's more then one way to get to ten I would agree Ron definitely knows what he is doing just like this driver

Hey let's eat Wiley! Love you Hank. God bless
Ol Wiley got greasy that time !! He took a bath !! Awful nice of him to wipe all that off for the new owner !
We called it liquid sunshine. Ya'll sure had to go through a lot on the 1st skidder.
For sure
as long as it gets the job done and nobody is hurt,,, ron pratt is in scott city missouri.
that music at the start was terrible. would rather have none. but that driver is a great driver.
I like junk just as much as the next guy. But man the cow pasture drives me crazy! lol I’d have to at least have it organized with things in rows. Good thing about being spread out is the cows have kept them from by getting over grown with weeds
Dude....I'd almost swear you were in my backyard! Enjoyed the vid Hank! Josh
Lol
You and wally got your work out on that move 👍

God bless you all!
Hellow Hank an Wiley happy new year buddy's
Good teamwork; difficult variables.
Those guys from Wolf Lake know how to get things done.
I watch Ron Pratt on his recoveries I also watch Hamiltonville Farm you two guys work together and jokes around keep up the vidios
Thank you
Ron Pratt is Midwest Towing and Recovery, Scott City, Missouri.
Talk about equipment graveyards Florida's got to be loaded thanks Hank and Wiley for a good video
They have a nice landal I rebuilt one you must keep the calcium off landau tralors I've learned running welding bisnes I've worked on a few that looked great tell I got under them and did lots of replacing beam and boxes too keep them going any one who owns nice landal wash it few times a year and keep up on rust prevention
When it rain and sunshine it's goin to rain at the same time the next day.
That was a great rescue except for poor wiley he got almost as dirty as I get when I check the oil in my truck lol !!!!
old tyres can also be dangerous because it is close to impossible to get the water out and makes a perfect place for mosquitos.
God bless my Friends ✋
That truck driver was awesome
Looks like an Arkansas Job, I stopped Trucking in the South in 1976. I got tired of doing ten times what they wanted to pay to have anything done.
We call raining while the sun is shining, Florida. Or wet sunshine in Jacksonville FL
Lol.. DUVAALLLL
Old school. Old men. Just like I’am. Good one. Thanks from. Sc
I wonder if you folks ever heard the fact that old railroad workers absolutely cannot get Alzhiemers?? IT IS ABSOLUTELY TRUE! They just lose track!
😂😂
Excellent Semi driver and a great vid
Ron Pratt has a amazing channel
Great to see some heavy haulage
watching old farts like me do this work. NEVER underestimate experience. love you fellas
How about a Will it Start video on that CaseIH (maybe a Magnum but I didn't catch the number) tractor in the background where you loaded the second skidder?
ole wiley is hell with that chainsaw lol! he's the man!
That's quite the boneyard but at least the cattle keep the grass down
