- Hello Ladies & Gentlemen and as always, thank you for watching!!! Today, Ron "brakes" the Rotator!!!! Well, sort of, I lift a "metal brake", at least I think that's what it is. A customer calls me to unload a large metal working machine that he is going to place inside his new shop. Come to find out he works with a friend I went to school with and he watches this channel!!! So, let's see what the old Peterbilt 389X, Miller Industries, Century 1150R rotator can do!!! I hope you enjoy this video!!!
We have a difficult and dangerous job and we take it very seriously, that doesn't mean we can't have fun and enjoy our work. We strive to be polite, professional, efficient, and safe...and still can have fun. I hope you all enjoy this video!!! Thanks for watching and God bless!!!

My common analogy, "there are many ways to reach 10". I could have approached this (any) job several different ways. The approach method is important, but more important is achieving the desired result, safely.
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!!!

Nice to see 2 craftsmen who both plan their work, and work their plan, but coordinate it all with each other.
Who else loves Ron Pratt?
All. Me Maninder Singh Bedi.
Everyone should love a man that supports God and Family..
Who doesn't?
His wife, I should think. She puts up with him being on call and going out in the dangerous weather. Working long hours then spending more time editing and posting these vids.
Everyone loves Ron❤❤❤❤
Ron there is just enough variety in your line of work that makes it interesting. You are constantly dealing with certain variables and having to calculate or figure out the best odds for a given situation. Never a Dull Moment!
What a fantastic customer! No goofy stupid stuff. A job, get it done and move on. Great job Ron, thank you.
That was a very simple pic job. Great to see 2 people working together to get the job done safely. God bless
Fri lunch, and my favourite Ron puts out a new video for us to watch n enjoy
I watch every video you make. I love you guys. Thank you for your service.
Watching Ron Pratt at 6 am on Friday, then go do the day,thumbs up great video
she appreciates you trying to keep her nice and clean while she works hard every day in all kinds of weather
Well you had me going there Ron lol I thought for sure something broke on the Rotator lmao. I'm glad you didn't though! That's the important thing!
I love Ron it is amazing what can left with his Big Girl just love watching him work in blows my mind on some of this stuff that he does with his Truck may God continue to bless Ron and his Employees
A nice, easy and safe lift. And, helping a fellow craftsman and neighbor. Be safe, stay safe, and God bless.
There are so many nice prople out there that out of the kindness of their hearts will give you the shirt off of your back, you my friend are most certainly fit that category. Love the videos and everything you guys do to make it safe for everyone out on the roads. God Bless all you guys and all that you all do.
Hey Ron, A few years ago, i went to walmart to buy groceries, and I was in the Checkout line and was getting ready to pay for the Items, and there was a man in front of me and out of the kindness of his heart he paid for my groceries. I just kept thanking him over and over again.
You do great work keep it up 28:09
People talk smack about “the people of Walmart but I see the same thing as you did.
Takes all kinds I guess.
oh a stress test
Hi Ron, your videos make my day better every single time. Keep up the good work
The road appears to have veey light traffic, one vehicle every few minutes or so. Ron goes to back in, and three cars show up.
That's happened to me on many occasions when ever I go into a business (store, restaurant, bank). When I go in, no soul around, except employees. When I leave, the place is hopping!
"Nobody around, but still..." It is best to commit safety practices to habit. Then, you don't have to remember to do them.
One of my two favorite channels, Everthing Autos being the other.
Hey Ron your the best thing to watch on UA-cam and God bless you and your family
Turned out to be easier than it looked like at first! Well done! Nice client!
Ron reminds me of my dad,do it right the first time and be kind as you do it best ever.Stay safe and blessed 🙏❤️
I love Ron Pratt I think he’s a cool guy. I think I’m gonna send him a thank you card for his UA-cam channel.
Ron and Tator and coworkers thank you for another great video. keep up the great job. i enjoy your videos.
I love to watch you and your family and your workers. I'm glad to watch the way you share your love of our Lord. Prayers for you and your business

Hey from North Carolina. Another easy job for tater. Enjoy your videos
As a flatbed truck driver, it’s nice to see that the owner secured his machinery down well to the trailer.

That was an awesome job Ron thank you for sharing your experience in the towing industry it’s always great seeing you guys safely working stay safe everyone at Midwest truck
Great video Ron something a little different.
I've been thinking about that special challenge you mentioned a few weeks ago. As I sit at my desk today, I recall something very special from November. I work in a public library and was having a rough day. That evening, a young girl and her dad came in and she handed me a cupcake. She explained that she had some left from her cupcake party and wanted me to have my own cupcake party. It took the entire day and turned it around. It was just a little thing, but it meant so much. Sometimes it's just the little gestures that are the most special. Please stay safe, and God bless.
I just fall in love with this guy. Love him
Outstanding coordination between two parties. The job done promptly and safely.
That was fun and cool thanks for your time today 👍👍😊
you forgot the 3 horn blast when backing in to his yard
Just wanted to say that was a beautiful sunny day there in SE MO.
Thank you so much for the video please post more videos a week God bless
Another job done safely... Nice to have the right equipment!!!! 🙏🙏🙏✌️👍☕
Ron is a damn good man and real operator
Beautiful day to be out in Southern Missouri.
That was pretty cool
Nice work Ron …
Need more videos like them
The customer seemed like a really great guy.
Good job with videos
I think he's great.
Nice size shear!!
Good day Ron. Thanks for sharing this video. I see you didn’t bring your shop cat for this job. That was a great video last week. The breadth of your services is quite impressive. Wishing you and your family a blessed week filled with gentle seasonally appropriate weather, safe opportunities and restful evenings. Peace brother
Well I’d hope Ron would “brake” the rotator every now and then. One does need to stop every now and then. 😂
As always a beautiful job well done. And since it wasn’t on the roadway. A more relaxing job, still on guard for any problems that may come up. But didn’t have to worry about folks not slowing down and/or getting over.
Hope last week for the you and the crew Ron went good as I could be with the arctic blast that came through.
Good morning from New Hampshire
' press brake ' ... once again Ron cracks another mighty dad joke .. lol
I will admit that I tend to enjoy your solo junkets (complete with soliloquies) a bit more than the team efforts, especially when the conversations in the latter are one=sided. I still want a Rotator for Christmas.
Those chains looked brand new. Not a bad thing.
👍
Goodyear job
Watched
Easy peazy lemon squeezy.
lol that was so heavy it didn’t even leave pad marks 😂😂😂
Good morning from Bethlehem Pa
Ron I believe that was a metal shear, but not a very good view of it .
The only reason I believe it's a sheer is the sign saying something about the only employees allowed to operate the sheer.
I nearly missed the pun. Thanks that is good. I suspected that machine was a metal bending machine called a brake but I was still expecting to see something break on the truck. Thanks Ron, that was punny.
From a business standpoint everything can be repaired as new and sometimes better. The only standpoint that see's differently are lawyers. They only see who can we sue and make the most money from. Lawyers don't sue for right or wrong, they only sue for standpoint of cash.
So I learnt something new today. You guys don't get many Pick & Carry cranes.
Here in Australia the most common brand is Franna, They're used all the time when moving equipment into workshops, since the most common one can lift 25t.
Like watching the vidoes
Good Afternoon There My Good Big Bro Ron Pratt Sir Of Midwest Towing
Ron you need to have your wheels polished, make it look new again.
Rotators become the handy cranes. Much quicker to set up for many jobs.
Not the Tator! I know why now you prefer a manual over auto. I got a little sideways the other week. Pushed by the trailer. I've an auto now and it was a little tricky to get out of the skid. It's a new truck, only 190k on it now and still learning. Sold my '02 Mack for scrap but don't think they want too as it's still sitting proud our the front of their yard. I'm in a Scania and I don't like it but stuck with it till at least 350k then I'll look at a Volvo. The Scania is very expensive to maintain. God Bless the Pratt family, take care and keep safe, and for those out there, remember slow down and move over, and give us some room.
Looks like a shear to me. Probably 1/4"×10'
Oh my.. I would love to have that brake, I used one much like it in college. They also had a big hydraulic shear that I loved, even though it was hard to get my size 15 into the safety cage to operate the pedal, I ended up taping up the safety to be able to get my foot in there. Is it just me or is there starting to be some sounds coming from the trans on Tator? Sounds like some whines and grinds I haven't heard before. It will never cease to amaze me how much weight that one little pin in the shackle can hold.
GET-R-DONE... RON
NO JOB TO SMALL OR TO BIG Mr Ron can Get R Done and can do it . Put on his thinking hat, look it over and decide the best SAFE way. For him and the customer. Great that it had a hook point. Made it faster and center balance point. Pat on the back for a job well done. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👽🙃
Back up king.
Hi Ron..... as ever .... Great content 👍😎👍..... did you mean "Break" or "Brake"..... it's seemingly a question of Tyre and Tire..... or Colour and Color.....
TTFN.....
Nick
The machine is a " press-brake" for bending metal.
Yaay
I been checking your UA-cam channel for a few years now I don't know how long maybe before COVID I think
0:33 "last famous words" :)
Have you ever thought about putting a couple backup cameras on the rotator to make it easier to see traffic coming up behind you when you're having to turn around
Love your play on words! I’m not a grammar cop, but it bugs me when someone uses the wrong spelling intending to use the other. Like there, their and they’re. It’s funny when done on purpose though LOL
As always you make every job look simple and easy.
Great job as always Ron & Tator!
I've been down with "walking pneumonia" for the last 2 weeks but, my cat and UA-cam channel subscriptions have kept me entertained lol!
I truly enjoy all Midwest Truck videos for the content you intend to show but, it seems like there's always something in the background of them that catches my attention for a few minutes. This time, it was that old Freightliner FLD tractor that brought the brake to its new home. I've owned several FLD series tractors over the years and currently have a Classic XL thats getting a motorhome conversion. The tractor in this video appears to be a "severe Duty" unit with only 2 headlights. I know that they were built this way but, they've never been a common sight. Most FLDs were highway tractors and had quad headlights. The few that I've seen on the road with the 2 light setup were all Consolidated Freightways tractors.
As always, be safe and God bless you, your crew and your equipment!
Ron, let us know how many miles on the rotator at the start of one of your videos. Please also remind us of what year she is. That rotator sure looks good for all the hard work she does.
Think we all do
Give her a bath. What dose that take in time To me looks like a lot of climbing around to get into every nook and cranny. Love Your Kindness to All
Great job! Tator sounds a bit different in this video! Extra noise under belly after PTO engagement.?
I don't know if you made one yet, but maybe you could make a video of the rotator getting a bath sometime. Why don't the front outriggers have a pin you pull out like the back one's do?
Sheet metal guillotine. Come in various sizes and either electrical or hydraulically operated.
Or even small ones a foot treadle.
We moved the shop up in Fresno, boss said for us to get the metal brake ready to move, ha-ha, we called him and told him to get his butt down and help, the thing was heavy!!
