Matt is doing things the way humans did them for thousands of years before power equipment was developed. More people need to learn the old ways and how to apply them in our new circumstances.
That customer was in a pickle, stuck loader, rental bill going ching ching, and in a flood zone. He's lucky you were willing to go that far to rescue him.
We have a saying here in Oklahoma when something is "unrecoverable", we call it being John Deere stuck. Nothing is unrecoverable with enough tractor and chain.
That is one powerful set up on your machine. Best recovery of a stuck piece of junk. Old saying lives on, never say never to the wrong person. Great job.......doc, Texas
Hey Matt !!! That goes to show that wasn't the right tool for the job they wanted as an excavator with a mulcher attachment & bucket to clear the ditch would have worked better !!! Great recovery as always with NO damage to the Rental Equipment just a good power washing is ALL that was needed !!! 👍👍👍👍👍
😮great video i helped a guy with a wrecker years ag n learned a lot from him but you jst proved that you can always learn something new i really like the way you anchor your vehicle with straps from frame to under the wheels. Great lesson n video ill remember that when i get my 20k pull winch on my truck. Thanks again
My friggen 2011 Jeep is probably totaled; Some special person pulled out of a parking lot straight into traffic in the rain 😒 Have ya got a nice Video about your JT ya got there? Also cool video as always Matt! Glad to see you saving people money Buying another skidsteer would have been a nightmare and unnecessary 🤣
@ianpeden327 Doesn’t matter what set of tracks it had. A skid steer will ball up with mud fast. I’ve recovered them many times and used them for recovery purposes dragging a F350 out of the woods with no keys and a locked steering column.
That's not stuck. I just pulled my buddy out same thing. Digging holes in a creek. His tracks were completely under. JD 4320 pulled it no problem. You drove 100 miles? No one has a tractor in that distance. ???
You are the best! For a second I thought you were gonna pull with 2/1 block from the rear winch, plus 2/1 from the front winch and tree, wondering if the chassis could take the stretching.
At least one good thing that was in your favor Matt after you got the skid steer part way out was that the skid steer did start and run so that helped out a lot
That was an amazing 3:1 that you built to get that machine out. Do you have any videos about setting up pulley systems for recovery? that looked like fun, I kinda wanna go get stuck now for the hell of it...
11:45 TSS will back up steep slopes much more easily due to uphill weight/traction with the bucket offering downhill support P.S. unless it’s slickery than snot whereby winching is the way, carry on 😂
Great recovery. Advice for the skid steer operator: with that heavy load on the bucket turn around and back it up the levee. I think it would have made that one on its own power.
We don’t have a rear winch bumper We modified the bumper for the fairlead And welded in a winch plate to the frame where the spare tire was And the the ramp pieces are called scotch blocks We made our own but they are an old tow truck anchoring system
I have to admit I have never seen anything like this before, with such (respectfully) such a relatively small,amount of gear. Very well done! My only question is to the owner of the bobcat, why is there virtually no thread left on the tracks? That is one mighty 4x4 plus winches, what make is the vehicle itself, or is it very much a customer designed truck?
We try to keep customers off camera as much as possible Because people are rude on line and like to be mean So just to keep the peace ✌️ We keep them off camera
The mechanics who have to service that bobcat are definitely NOT complaining about not pulling it out sideways. Most of our (mechanics) headaches are because of people's stupidity (pulling $hi! Out sideways instead of the RIGHT way).
Great job. New here. What are you using for tow ropes? Didn’t see anything but short straps connecting what looked like ropes. Are those the Bubba Ropes see advertised?
They arent built for the mud. Those tracks are hard rubber pads so they can run on a hard surface with out tearing it up. Need a trackhoe to reach in there. Even a small dozer would get buried in that swamp.
First time viewing your channel. I agree with most of the posts. But, what are those 2 things dragging behind, look like shovels on ropes. This appears to be used like blocks?
I love it when couch recovery experts tell a real recovery expert how to do their job. Stick to recovering beers out of the fridge🤣🤣🤣 Speaking of beers I’ll be right back🍻😂😂
I operate a skidsteer daily. No reason at all it can't go up a little hill. I driven mine up & down way steeper hills than that. Sometimes I have to go up backwards if it's super steep.
For start why isn't from the start in the Bob cat engine tuning HYD working ,, would make the recovery so much easier,,I've only been driving them for close to 40yrs
Driving for close to 40yrs, but listening and watching you must be new? Just asking because on video we showed it would not stay running So we pulled it out of the water and checked everything thing out and had to get it to run
This makes me wanna do an off road recovery deal down here in Florida . I pull an f150 or a Silverado out like every other week we're we all go. I have 02 tundra all by buddies make fun of till I drive around them and pull them out . I'm inspired 🎉
Good job. Looks to be someone not real experienced with equipment. Lots of times it's cheaper to hire someone with time in the seat in the long run. I've seen it lots of times. Rubber track skid steers are almost useless in mud. Been stuck myself several times but having a couple excavators and it's not a big deal to get them out.
Another reason to have farm friends, 10 mins with a front wheel ast and that would of been out. Pulled a 620 quad barred worse that, tracs were half barred, with 2 8rs just a couple years ago. Different areas have different ideas of stuck.
The best way to get Matt to come help you..... Tell him its "unrecoverable"!! 🤣😂😅
🤣 yep
Matt is doing things the way humans did them for thousands of years before power equipment was developed. More people need to learn the old ways and how to apply them in our new circumstances.
"Unrecoverable" doesn't seem to be in Matt's vocabulary.
Right...😂😂😂
Its easy when he's not really stuck. I've been in far worse with a skid steer and never been stuck. 8k hrs, 30 years.
@@Faolan161 Experience makes a huge difference.
I enjoy watching recovery done in an orderly and methodical manner. Great work!
That "little jeep" that does big work WITH force multipliers 😊
Even without them he still does some amazing pulls using just power and traction of the jeep
For sure. A track skid steer is a big mass for a small pickup to move. Impressive.
Dear Matt, like most in your line of work. You know your machines, what they are capable of, and you know HOW, thats professionalism at its finest.
That customer was in a pickle, stuck loader, rental bill going ching ching, and in a flood zone. He's lucky you were willing to go that far to rescue him.
yes....Matt was a life saver in this dudes case!
Matt said he owned the loader
@@EgoGhostX Ok..I also own my 2024 Bobcat T62 but also know it's over $1,200 per week to rent a machine of similar size!
@@bjorker40 i know i just saw that matt said he owned it but he did save him alot money
@@EgoGhostX I think it was the brush hog that was rented.
There just isn't anything you can't do. Awesome job again. God bless.
Matt and hs team puttin in that work! Great job you guys!
We have a saying here in Oklahoma when something is "unrecoverable", we call it being John Deere stuck. Nothing is unrecoverable with enough tractor and chain.
Thing was just sitting in a mud puddle. Unrecoverable is lol.
One of your best recoveries. Great job
That is one powerful set up on your machine. Best recovery of a stuck piece of junk. Old saying lives on, never say never to the wrong person. Great job.......doc, Texas
Absolutely amazing what you and the jeep can accomplish, well done!
Great job! Great patience! Great Jeep!
My step dad was relentless, he could get anything unstuck. But Matt is on a whole other level 😂😂
Those Mickey Thompsons with the lockers love to eat! Lol
Good job as usual!
Great job; definitely my my favorite off road recovery channel.
Glad to hear that
Hey Matt !!! That goes to show that wasn't the right tool for the job they wanted as an excavator with a mulcher attachment & bucket to clear the ditch would have worked better !!! Great recovery as always with NO damage to the Rental Equipment just a good power washing is ALL that was needed !!! 👍👍👍👍👍
Skid loader was his
The mower was a rental
That Bobcat would get stuck on a banana peel 😂😂😂
They dig very well with tracks, but it takes an operator to not get stuck in such little amounts of mud.
One word “MUD”need we say more?
This guy knows he’s stuff😊
Tracks look shot
You're getting kinda good at this Matt.
"Unrecoverable"...Matt "I do not understand that word!" 😂
Facts
Or maybe "It's unrecoverable" Matt: "Hold my wireless winch controller and watch this!" 😅
😮great video i helped a guy with a wrecker years ag n learned a lot from him but you jst proved that you can always learn something new i really like the way you anchor your vehicle with straps from frame to under the wheels. Great lesson n video ill remember that when i get my 20k pull winch on my truck. Thanks again
Love to watch a pro work!!
clean safe and no drama, as always, nice work.
Great tutorial on how it should be done Matt ❤ that wireless winch and capabilities of the jeep are priceless.
Drove tow truck in the late 70's, early 80's...one on the best jobs I ever had, loved it!
Man, those things are way less off road capable than I thought they were.
Matt, you are the king of off road recovery!!!
Matt I love watching you come in an get vehicle and machines out when folks say they unrecoverable.
Great job , very smart improvisation of use your tools and your whit , loved watching the process.
It's always impressive to see Matt work with what he has because he knows how to get the job done
I love the green under carriage lights.
Excellent recovery!
Nice and easy. I love the way you work!
It looked like a good day to play in the mud. Well done.
Мэтт как всегда молодец, надёжно, грамотно, технично!
I like that windshield guard. Especially like the built in light pods. My roof mounted lights get caught all the time....Great recovery!
Had no idea how heavy a skid steer was. Had to go look it up after watching this. Great video, love this stuff. I missed my calling.
My friggen 2011 Jeep is probably totaled;
Some special person pulled out of a parking lot straight into traffic in the rain 😒
Have ya got a nice Video about your JT ya got there?
Also cool video as always Matt!
Glad to see you saving people money
Buying another skidsteer would have been a nightmare and unnecessary 🤣
„That windshield visor thing is stupid. Why would you put that on?“ 😂😂 Love that …
I like the lighting scheme on the Jeep .Kool
He Always Does Great Work. !
Brilliant, just brilliant😎
Awesome job. Well done!
What did that Bobcat have on it's tracks "Racing Slicks". That was just another professional job done by a no nonsense operater. Great job Matt.
Welcome to clay
It’s sticky and clogs everything
@ianpeden327 Doesn’t matter what set of tracks it had. A skid steer will ball up with mud fast. I’ve recovered them many times and used them for recovery purposes dragging a F350 out of the woods with no keys and a locked steering column.
Wow amazing recovery, great job.
Nicely done!
That's not stuck. I just pulled my buddy out same thing. Digging holes in a creek. His tracks were completely under. JD 4320 pulled it no problem. You drove 100 miles? No one has a tractor in that distance. ???
We have done a lot of these stuck way worse than this.
So yes we agree it wasn’t stuck that bad
You are the best! For a second I thought you were gonna pull with 2/1 block from the rear winch, plus 2/1 from the front winch and tree, wondering if the chassis could take the stretching.
This is an awesome (extended version) of a JEEP commercial.
At least one good thing that was in your favor Matt after you got the skid steer part way out was that the skid steer did start and run so that helped out a lot
Yes!
We were very grateful we did get it running
So we can help it out
Instead of dragging it out
With those tracks in that terrain, I can understand how and why he got that Bobcat stuck in the first place. Good job on the recovery!
That was an amazing 3:1 that you built to get that machine out. Do you have any videos about setting up pulley systems for recovery? that looked like fun, I kinda wanna go get stuck now for the hell of it...
You’re the man 👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸
Usually I don’t like those Jeep trucks especially with the stock bed but with what you’ve done to this one I think it looks sick.
11:45 TSS will back up steep slopes much more easily due to uphill weight/traction with the bucket offering downhill support
P.S. unless it’s slickery than snot whereby winching is the way, carry on 😂
Great recovery. Advice for the skid steer operator: with that heavy load on the bucket turn around and back it up the levee. I think it would have made that one on its own power.
What are back up onto that is hooked to rear bumper?
I also love having the rear winch bumper in my gladiator.
We don’t have a rear winch bumper
We modified the bumper for the fairlead
And welded in a winch plate to the frame where the spare tire was
And the the ramp pieces are called scotch blocks
We made our own but they are an old tow truck anchoring system
Very excellent work!
Recoverable.
Hi friend ; great knowledge 👍👍.

Great job. New here. What are you using for tow ropes? Didn’t see anything but short straps connecting what looked like ropes. Are those the Bubba Ropes see advertised?
Warn Industries synthetic rope
And their rope extension
Nice work. Thanks for sharing.
Love those scotch blocks. I need to do something like that for my rollback
Great job from down under
that has to be the most gutless skid steer i have ever seen.
They arent built for the mud. Those tracks are hard rubber pads so they can run on a hard surface with out tearing it up. Need a trackhoe to reach in there. Even a small dozer would get buried in that swamp.
I think you’re gonna need a bigger boat.
Finally you Put someone in that skid steer and let it help you pull it out Dude!
You make it look so easy.
He knows how to rig them blocks to make it look easy for sure
Профиссионал своего дела👍
Amazing to me how flexible yet strong that winch rope is.
First time viewing your channel. I agree with most of the posts. But, what are those 2 things dragging behind, look like shovels on ropes. This appears to be used like blocks?
Scotch blocks
We use them to anchor the jeep down
Internet “professionals “ never in short supply 😂😂😂
Ain't that the truth...
I love it when couch recovery experts tell a real recovery expert how to do their job.
Stick to recovering beers out of the fridge🤣🤣🤣
Speaking of beers I’ll be right back🍻😂😂
Leaving any machine half submerged for a week is a bad idea. A small dozer would have pulled it with ease.
Crazy that it got stuck a nice lil distance away from the trees... make any chance of recovery as challenging as possible
This guy knows his stuff about leverage/ winching obviously.
If you haven’t watched his channel before, don’t say he can’t do it 😎 winching time about a minute
A good operator can unstick a skid steer with a bucket and cable alone.
“Pavement tracks”……get’cha every time
incredible ✊️
It amazes me that the keyboard warriors try to tell the king of recovery how to do the job. great video
I operate a skidsteer daily. No reason at all it can't go up a little hill. I driven mine up & down way steeper hills than that. Sometimes I have to go up backwards if it's super steep.
You earned your money on that one
For start why isn't from the start in the Bob cat engine tuning HYD working ,, would make the recovery so much easier,,I've only been driving them for close to 40yrs

We did a crap ton of work in Florida
People always stuck
Good job. Looks to be someone not real experienced with equipment. Lots of times it's cheaper to hire someone with time in the seat in the long run. I've seen it lots of times. Rubber track skid steers are almost useless in mud. Been stuck myself several times but having a couple excavators and it's not a big deal to get them out.
Have your or will you do a video on your Jeep setup?
Another reason to have farm friends, 10 mins with a front wheel ast and that would of been out. Pulled a 620 quad barred worse that, tracs were half barred, with 2 8rs just a couple years ago. Different areas have different ideas of stuck.
Can Do ! 👍👍👍
On the bobcat the front bucket will help a lot more if you were going in reverse
Winch and snatch blocks and direction of pull 👍
Made it look easy. Are those your original set of those mickeys? How are they holding up?
Yes the original
They are holding up great
Hope he gives you access to that deer stand looks like good spot
I’m sure he would, he was a very nice guy. And this is just hunting property he lives 2 hours away
What you have here is not enough track area for the weight. Pretty sure the owners manual has something about ground pressures and such.
NIce work!
What are those things called that you are dragging behind the jeep and then you back over them?
They are called scotch blocks
Thank you!
@@matt.mckinzie do you ever use them on the front wheels while using the winch on the front?
Cool truck you got there
