See an accident once were a chain snapped on a snatch recovery chain went through the windscreen hit the driver in his face literally took his jaw off his face was absolutely horrific injuries.

Actually I think, that from historical point of view it's a better thing. From entertaining's point of view - we'll not see some redneck science D: (and thank God that Mr.Beast didn't buy one).
Jeez when safety beard was on that trailer with the chain under tension I was wincing, but then thought you would not post a decapitation on UA-cam! He was right in the firing line if that chain snapped!
Joe, your commentary, and Adam's GPMG firing smile, was EPIC! Hats off to Captain Safety Beard, and of course to the nine tough guys who sent him birthday cards.
This video shows that though Joe & his mates muck about, they know what they're doing... most of the time. Thanks for all the video's this year, when one is uploaded, it's always a breath of fresh air. Cheers, have a good un.
That was a fairly big job getting the non-runner out of there without the proper equipment or experience. I bet that kid driving the runner will remember that moment for a long time too!
I bet Ted put his paws over his eyes seeing those boys getting the tanks out band on to the trailer 😂😢 well done to Sam for realising back at his home Adams the man for the job and a lovely commentary I bet you were P yourselves laughing seeing them c bc ring loaded. What a cheerie Christmas. As always we Brits know a thing or two about tanks your the boys for the job well done 👍 Malc uk 🇬🇧
Scary...but all done... Team Mr Hewes were to the rescue as always... Have a wonderful Christmas and New Year all the Mr Hewes Team and thank you for another year of great videos...
Think about it: 2 Brits helping a Texan move 2 British tanks with some Cats so they get them to a Vietnamese guy who owns an animal reserve. There's a joke in their somewhere.😂 I can't wait to see Jack turned aloose in America.
What could possibly go wrong? Well, Heath and safety are gonna need a whole 'nother clipboard Boy! Did we mention the overhead power lines? Good job superstar Adam was on the case. Another very entertaining video, Guys. I'm now addicted to the sound of those engines! Cheers, Pete
Forget Zombieland… since these were on TWD they should be restored but visually kept in the TWD paint scheme as S1 of TWD was the golden era for that show too
Absolutely the sketchiest, most dangerous shyte I've ever seen. Fookin hilarious too though 😂 Glad none of our American cousins were harmed in this production. Only a matter of time though by the looks of it 🤣 Cheers Mr.Hewes and team, thanks for the xmas laugh 👍
Mr.Hewes seeing two cats working together to move a cheiftan flexing the strength they have i ran a 943 a few times fun machines can move some dirt and the idle on them sounded really good
Wonderful video, with big machines being wielded expertly, the tanks, the new Chinese owners and an Hk 13 (or Hk 21?) being thrown in for good measure!
I remember those in TWD. I remember thinking, "oh those aren't M1's but Chieftains... hang on... they don't have escape hatches on the underside.... and the interior does NOT look like that" 😂😂
Nice bit of driving Adam. I think the cowboys trying to load those two tanks might have just as well used a knife and fork. Yet another good video Joe.
Awesomeness abounds in this one. So many avenues and layers for surrealism and humor. The terror of watching the loading chains and the meat puppet watching was butt clenching for sure. Well done, Happy Christmas to all and what an adventure lays ahead in the New Year, automatic weapons included. How can you ever return to the quiet and reserved English countryside ever after Texas? Cheers.
Well that was interesting. I wonder if Caption Safety Beard used his fine ZZ Top mush guard to sweep the public road clean after the tanks departed? That would have been a video for another day and to the tune of Duelling Banjo's !
2:02 Tell me you don’t understand or know how to tow a tank without telling me you don’t understand or know how to tow a tank… They have done a good job though… This tank loading was very painful to watch… good on them for getting it done though!

Russian roulette is probably their birthday parties' game...
Captain Safetybeard has more faith in chains than I do.
I want to see Captain Safetybeard’s OHSA accreditation.
I am glad the first proper unsafe thing on the channel was by some Americans and not the Cider powered lads
YEE HAW! THERE AIN'T NO WAY THEY GONNA BREAK!
THEY BE MADE A METAL....
@6.07 I'm assuming Captain Safety Beard's beard is fireproof?

Those two little track loaders look so cute pulling on the Chieftain. It's like watching two small dogs playing tug of war with a mastiff...
Adam seems to have the best role. He's Team Hewes' US consultant, as well as doing the tank fixin' and having the licences to drive everything large.
he is the BEST.
damn guess Westen wasn't able to close the deal on one
Well😌
That’s what I thought. I was expecting to see him.
Actually I think, that from historical point of view it's a better thing. From entertaining's point of view - we'll not see some redneck science D: (and thank God that Mr.Beast didn't buy one).
So was I expecting him
He doesn't have the resources of the CCP
Best brought the British weather with him.
I bet it felt just like home☺️
Well done Adam!! Makes me proud to be British!!! What a great ambassador you have been.👍🏻
Okay, that's not what i expected Sam from Texas to look like.
Wasnt it Pham?
His accent was a little thick, though, must be from southeast Texas.
@peghead South east NAM.
Takes all kinds in Texas! I know people from Ohio that live there!
This is what happens when Ted is not present to supervise.
Jeez when safety beard was on that trailer with the chain under tension I was wincing, but then thought you would not post a decapitation on UA-cam! He was right in the firing line if that chain snapped!
I think this video should be a reminder how not to do it.
My thoughts too
Theres LOTS of room in the cemetaries.
that's why he has a safety beard 😅
Was waiting for the " Oh dear weird beard has just been decapitated due to chain link failure" He likes to live dangerously!
Ah who wouldnt wanna own a Chieftain tank, they are awesome and I hope you have an awesome Christmas with your family and friends Mr Hewes!
Not wishing to cast any aspersions, but these guys make you look positively professional lads.
That unload was some smooth excavator work
I gotta learn more about these new owners. Interesting fellas
But curious 👀
Yes….i have multiple questions. The ability of migrants to buy fully auto weaponry for starters.
Possibly if the kids were American born and of age…maybe.
@ I love weapons but I agree. But also the tanks. Pretty sure anyone with good mechanical knowledge can reactive that main gun.
@@matthewwoods2102 you don’t have to be a citizen to get an ffl
70yrs old, and I don't swear much these days, but when I saw the clearance on that low loader, I weakened and followed up with a good laugh....
🤣 was close to the bone 🦴
@@johnblunt1834 I thought the same…they certainly put the low in low loader…..🇬🇧
I thought it was a sledge
Fires gun, the look after....priceless
Red Neck science at its very best. Watched the video when Western Champlin had one started.
The running one Adam got started months ago
I bet the Crouch guys are watching this and alternating between rolling their eyes and laughing.
Probably closing their eyes with that guy stood so close to them chains 😬
One more crazy stunt survived.
That is the southern mentality in full display. Can’t fear what you don’t know.
As a veteran of 7 regiment Tank Transporters on the Antars, I was hearing in my head all the Corporals and Sargents chewing them a new one 😅😅😅
Joe, your commentary, and Adam's GPMG firing smile, was EPIC! Hats off to Captain Safety Beard, and of course to the nine tough guys who sent him birthday cards.
I've never heard a Chieftain laughing until today. They played those guys like a fish. Great channel guys. Keep spannering.

The guys at the end had more brains moving the tanks than the other did trying to get them on the trucks.
When you said Texas I was hoping it was Matt Carrickers Desperado resort or demolition ranch they were going to.
I bet Ted put his paws over his eyes seeing those boys getting the tanks out band on to the trailer 😂😢 well done to Sam for realising back at his home Adams the man for the job and a lovely commentary I bet you were P yourselves laughing seeing them c bc ring loaded. What a cheerie Christmas. As always we Brits know a thing or two about tanks your the boys for the job well done 👍 Malc uk 🇬🇧
Captain safety beard and Ho Lee Phuk in the same video😮😂
Hahahahahahahahahaha
And don’t forget his brother, Kum Phrom Sum Yung Guy. 😂
@mikehunt3222 you've mistook him for his half brother cream of sum young guy
Once I saw the buyers I knew the comments section would not disappoint.
Your Chieftan vids have more uptime than the Army of the Rhine had in 20 years :). Best Regards and Best Wishes!
Seeing this makes that Ukranian farmer appropriating a Russian tank on the edge of a warzone by towing it with his tractor all that more impressive.
russian tanks are much lighter (56t vs 41t depending on the model)
@@brendanrobertson5966 What's 15 tons between friends :)
or, faked
Now Russians are appropriating American Abrams and German Leopards tanks and IFVs by truck loads.
@@f1aziz God giveth and God taketh away I guess
The owners are in heaven great vid guys and thank you for your efforts
Like to see them running and restoring programs good luck 👍👍👍👍
Brilliant brilliance in a brilliant way - seasonal best to you all.
I love that one chap's "Safety Slip-ons" on his feet.
Oh you lucky guys, your hosts are going to treat you like kings, enjoy every second, film it all, please.
I have so many questions.....but well done chaps.
Texas is going to love Jack and I’ve heard his mum’s OF is very popular over there.
I think the tanks were in Georgia.
@@iansmartel5473and they're now in Texas, have you not watched the video in full?? 🤭🤦😆
Not a GPMG, but appears to be a Heckler and Koch HK21.
I mean it sort of is a “General Purpose Machine Gun” but not THE “General Purpose Machine Gun”
These tank guns being activated?
It is Texas so probably.
@@Skidderoperatorprobably illegally!
@@P-J-W-777 These guys probably go by Vietnam rules.
I'm 5 minutes in and fearing for life!
Same
The matchbox toys! 🤣
Thanks for all the great content this year and all the best to the gang for Christmas and 2025
Must be the coolest video in ages, and the machine gun! ❤
Scary...but all done... Team Mr Hewes were to the rescue as always... Have a wonderful Christmas and New Year all the Mr Hewes Team and thank you for another year of great videos...
Tell me you've never seen a chain snap without telling me you've never seen a chain snap. 'kin hell.
Well that didn't end as expected. 😂🤣
I'm just sitting here shaking my head, as long as nobody got hurt.
Super job , look forward to the refurb work in the jolly USA , merry Xmas to the hewes international team ,
Think about it: 2 Brits helping a Texan move 2 British tanks with some Cats so they get them to a Vietnamese guy who owns an animal reserve. There's a joke in their somewhere.😂
I can't wait to see Jack turned aloose in America.
Your setting us up for a grrrrreat start to 2025. Great video
I think captain safetybeard has a little less will to live than most of us
Fewer teeth too.
Yeah, you only get hit with a whipping chain once ! 🤔
My god that’s overkill for transporting that! See them being moved in the uk on half that amount of axles! Haha
Somebody was overtrucked and overcharged.
load zoned bridges.
The most Texan Texan man I have ever seen. I am talking about Adam of course.
What could possibly go wrong? Well, Heath and safety are gonna need a whole 'nother clipboard Boy!
Did we mention the overhead power lines? Good job superstar Adam was on the case.

It's amazing to me how a show being really good in its first season can let it get away with 9 further terrible seasons.
We used to run 963c loaders where I worked, that one is gutless
Sounds like she has blocked fuel filter
Beard tangled in the throttle control. 😆
Good job with the video and narration, Adam.
Joes the one to credit he edited it altogether fantastically
True red-neck engineering, but it worked. Good luck, and thanks for the videos.
lovely sunday lunch and joe releases a video, all is well with the world
"Time to do some sketchy shit, hope I get away with it " 😧
Merry Christmas Joe and coconspirators. Good haul. Best to the new owner.
Wow those tanks ripped up the road just driving on it. Someone is gonna have to pay for road repair!
The sheriff was there nice guy even helped with loading. Mr safety beard sorted the dirt road after. Good bunch of guys.
There is a reason that recovery tanks are so big!
Adam, if you don't know. Which I bet you might.
Each tandem axle is rated for 34,000 lbs.
Happy Christmas. Thank you for a year of great videos.
Absolutely the sketchiest, most dangerous shyte I've ever seen. Fookin hilarious too though 😂 Glad none of our American cousins were harmed in this production. Only a matter of time though by the looks of it 🤣 Cheers Mr.Hewes and team, thanks for the xmas laugh 👍
Proper little adventure for Adam👌 sounds like you guys might be busy for a while😆👍
A great festive video, thanks! Hope you all have a good one!
all the very best back to you,and a happy new year.....
Sam seems like an All-American guy! Tanks, guns, a giraffe, a zebra and a big smile!
The vietnamese who fled the NVA typically did Americanise pretty hard as I understand it
They clearly needed a Foden.
How did the end out there in the middle of Georgia?!?!?!
These guys own every pho restaurant between Houston, El Paso, Dallas and Abileen.
My understanding is they were in Georgia as they were in the filming of The Walking Dead
It’s not dead, only sleeping.
Great video guys. I actually saw a video some guy made who was going to buy them. They drove one around. I guess they never bought them in the end.
This is top quality content.
The adventures of Adam, brilliant. Have a Merry Christmas Team AW Hewes.

No track grousers.
Thx for the upload wishing everyone at the Hewes gang and their family's a very Merry Christmas and prosperous new year to come
14:49 Translation " see wot happens when Ted ain't supervising "
Outstanding !! I think you should name Adam from now on as, "Adam the Outstanding" (bit like William the Conqueror)... you know what I mean..
Wonderful video, with big machines being wielded expertly, the tanks, the new Chinese owners and an Hk 13 (or Hk 21?) being thrown in for good measure!
I remember those in TWD. I remember thinking, "oh those aren't M1's but Chieftains... hang on... they don't have escape hatches on the underside.... and the interior does NOT look like that" 😂😂
Goes to show how easy the mighty foden makes moving these things look.
Captain Safetybeard is definitely old skool Oilfield...met quite a few of those types in my time
He is Landman
@@MrHewes Wish I could post pics in a reply Joe...I used to move rigs with KW 953's...not for the faint hearted
@@MrHewesRock pit grunt.
Love the pink crocs. 😂
Man is a fasion icon
Steel toed Crocs!
The look on Adams face when he loosed off with the GPMG was priceless,
Gotta love Texas. Tanks and machine guns in your backyard.
I would have loved to have one of them up here in NC. Thanks for the video.
Nice bit of driving Adam.
I think the cowboys trying to load those two tanks might have just as well used a knife and fork.
Yet another good video Joe.
Nice video. Moving those two tanks was a little scar to watch, but the job got done and no one died. 😂
Cheers and Merry Christmas Mates! TE 🎄
"Look, I need a couple of Chieftans, for ... home-defence purposes..." "We gotchya bro..."
Texas.
Fix the guns. Its TEXAS.
Those safety beards are obviously world beaters! Note to Santa, next Chieftain I buy has to come with it’s own transporter.
dam hoped Westen was going to have them
the dozers being tossed around is 100% a "just stand back and make sure the camera is rolling"
Chieftain, Zebra and Giraffe….there are 3 things not to expect in a Mr Hewes video! 😂
Awesomeness abounds in this one. So many avenues and layers for surrealism and humor. The terror of watching the loading chains and the meat puppet watching was butt clenching for sure.

They brought 2 chocolate teapots to a tank fight😂😂 track loaders were never going to do that job 😅
A merry Christmas to you all too.
Only 2 bulldozzers? Health and Safely gone mad.
Well that was interesting. I wonder if Caption Safety Beard used his fine ZZ Top mush guard to sweep the public road clean after the tanks departed? That would have been a video for another day and to the tune of Duelling Banjo's !
Adam is a God damned good operator.
That load up was so frustrating to watch but quick funny hearing the captains safety beard descriptive
2:02 Tell me you don’t understand or know how to tow a tank without telling me you don’t understand or know how to tow a tank…
They have done a good job though…
This tank loading was very painful to watch… good on them for getting it done though!
