As soon as I saw that Yankum I thought "Matt's Off Road Recovery" too. In fact, I came to this channel through his lol

I love the guy who owns this sand company. I recall a while back one of his trucks went off the roadway loaded, and he was insistent after you got him back on the road that he continue to deliver his load before getting the truck fixed. Now he's out here taking care of this one. Its easy to see why you say you'll show up anywhere anytime to help him out!

When you said you had to go turn around all I could think of was that old country song, "Give Me 40 Acres..."

Mark seems like such a nice guy, and every time we see him on the channel hes handling a disaster like a pro. If I could be so bold as to suggest maybe doing a sit down video with him sometime talking about safety and the challenges of running a fleet?

You are right Ron everyone's got their own opinion so they don't need to harassed you for your son's hat he is who he is though it is pretty sad that you have to put little information out like that so you don't get harassed this world is getting so ridiculous once again run thanks a lot for your good work God bless you all amen

I like the fact that the most important thing to him, is 'no injuries!!!'. Thx Ron

Ron i watched this video this morning there was nothing wrong with it. You Tube get a grip. Ron prat is one of the most respectful people on You Tube.

One thing that is nice about Ron is that he believes in safety first.

So I have recently came across Ron’s videos and find them awesome to watch. A very impressive family towing/recovery business. What I really appreciate is their safety culture, which is always on full display in all they do! Great job!

the triple honk when reversing is such a good idea that more truckers should do, it's been proven that people hear so many beepers and other things during any given day that they just don't notice things like back-up beepers and such.

Watched this video this morning, 12-10-23, happy to see not much property damage. Enjoy your channel !!!

I applaud you for the way you treat everyone, especially your employees...

The whole conversation between the 2 trucks made me laugh. Glad he made it out with just a little help. Love your channel. Educational and very interesting. Much love from the Netherlands.

A KZfaqr "Matt's Off Road Recovery" uses those Yankem Ropes almost exclusively to yank stuck 4x4s out of the desert/sand dunes of southern Utah. Seems to work well.

Thank you Ron, not only for doing what you do, but for sharing with us.

Good job Mr. Ron. Glad to hear nobody got hurt. There is a guy out in Hurricane, Utah, Matt’s off road recovery, (that’s his you tube channel’s name), that uses the Yankum ropes for his recovery. From my understanding, he loves them. Good job as always and thank you for your videos, love them.

I'm ex-British Army, we had kinetic tow ropes for the Chieftain tanks back in the late 70's, they worked great for pulling out an 80 ton tank that was up to it's bellyplate in mud! Back the recovery tank up as close as possible, hitch up two recovery lines, then take off at full throttle! Popped out like a cork out of a champagne bottle! That was the problem though, the towing vehicle had to get out of the way fast!! The way they work is that the towing vehicle applies energy to the rope, and the faster it moves, the more energy it applies. That energy is then transferred to the towed end of the rope and can equal almost double the original input energy due to the rope being stretched up to 30% and snapping back!

Ron, you are a credit to the human race. You show your philosophy of life in the way you conduct yourself. I don't practice your religion, but I defend YOUR right to do so. And, the same for your son to have his opinion whether or not I agree with it. God bless you.

Nice to see Ethan! Looks like your Yankum will pay for itself in no time. Cap? What cap? All I see is a father and son checking out the new stuff. God Bless you!

Ron Pratt and Matt's off-road recovery. My two favorite recovery channels.

Mr. Pratt. I'm not sure if you read the stuff that people write to you on this website. But I very much appreciate the work that you and your crew does. Your like the police and fire departments. Your on call 24/7 365 days a year. My hat goes off to you and your crew.

Sorry, another "Matt's Off Road Recovery" plug....but you two guys have very similar attributes. Both run successful small businesses in your areas, employ some decent people, and treat people with respect and good will. You are both hard working and will not quit until the job is done. Thank you very much for putting together these videos of your work. Well done.

Too bad that they didn’t listen to you at the beginning! They could have avoided more damage to the property. It didn’t take you long to easy him out! You are the man, Ron!

Nice to see Ethan coming out of his shell a little. Actually heard him talking a bit. Great video as always Mr. Pratt. Thanks for all the work you put into these for our enjoyment.

Glad to see everyone recommending Matt’s off-road recovery. My 2 favorite recovery channels

I had something similar back in the early 80s. Used it in my car to help pull someone out of a snow drift. Worked great - no jerking. Wasn’t terribly pleased with the hooks that were part of it, they warped pretty quickly. It lasted 20+ years, well worth the money!

Yankum rope... Sounds like someone might've been watching some of Matt's Off Road Recovery :D

Ron ya gotta admit as you did, was quick and simple. I’ve watched a lot of videos of recoveries using a Yankum. Several farm videos with major 4 wheel drive tractors buried to drive shaft and belly of tractor. Hook another one to it with the 2” and pull it out. Light and easy to handle. Thanks for video. Enjoyed

It is so satisfying to watch you float gears in that truck. I am just learning to float in an 1980s spud truck but am still new to it. A.K.A. I do a lot of grinding. 😂 Thanks for another great video.

Just wanted to say that I liked your comment re: Ethan's hat, because I cringed when I first saw it.... Not because of the name on it or the party that it represents, but because of the comments that I can only imagine would be coming your (and more unfortunately your son's) way. I'm not a huge fan of Trump, and I'm an atheist, but the first day that I watched one of your videos, I loved how you were unapologetic about your own faith, but also entirely understanding and equally welcoming of those with different beliefs. Show up when called or needed, execute the mission in the best, smartest, most effective, and--most importantly--safest way possible, regardless of any characteristic that another may or may not have.... If your approach to your business and your family and life in general isn't the epitome of the American way, then I don't know what is, Ron!

Ron, good to see the video back up. I really hope the driver was not seriously injured.

Video worth the wait Ron. God bless you and yours. Don't change a thing.👍🙏🇺🇸

Wow it's awesome to see someone that dims their lights at night. I know it's a huge topic of debate but as someone that drives a lot it's much appreciated.

This was an awesome video and I am sending prayers and well wishes to the driver

I've seen those Yankum ropes being used for offroad recovery, first time I saw one of the big boys. Having done a few recoveries with a chain-and-jerk, those things look a lot less abusive on everyone involved...

Ron you know exactly what to do Bud that went easier than I thought. Be safe and hopefully everyone moves over when they see you working alongside the road a guy wasn't so lucky a couple weeks ago over by Decatur, Illinois I move over for everyone.

Glad to see another tow operator recognize the beauty of Yankum ropes! You must have been watching Matt's Offroad Recovery (which KZfaq suggested to me once I started watching your channel). Both of you are the best in the business. Very cool to see a heavy duty application for kinetic energy ropes.

Great job Mr Ron. Always great thing when nobody is hurt. Trucks and cars can be replaced. Just glad you didn't have to get around the power lines. You feeling better?

Ron, you are an incredible tow truck operator. I enjoy watching you As for Yankum, I am slowly building up the Yankum supplies for my pickup truck and my wife's Pickup truck For what we help with where we are (we are not professionals) this method is a bigger option for us. Thank you Ron

So what happened that the truck ended up where it was? Glad no one was seriously injured and hope the driver heals from whatever injury he sustained. Great job Ron, as always.

WOO HOO it's back.

Ron tell your son I like the hat I have one just like it.may God bless you your work and your family.

Least everyone is ok. Also listening to the tator and Ron grabbing gears is music to my ears nice video Ron

YANKUM is a KERS system, Kinetic Energy Recovery System, originally developed for the military. It is very good at putting energy into the item you want recovered. The only downside for the sort of work Ron does is that his recoveries are all about control, and when you put that amount of energy in sometimes the item 'yanked' just goes where it wants. Definitely has its uses, but probably less for Ron than for Matt.

Ron you are so good and I love to hear you truckers talking to each others saying to stop or go or back up thanks for sharing this video I love them you’re great

Thanks for the video! I hope you enjoy your weekend!

Thank god no one was hurt

I love the way your " roo " has pride of place on the dash.

Interesting to see another way (other than Mat's Off Road Recovery!) of using one of those ropes. Another useful tool for you, Ron!

Hope the driver will be ok, job was not to bad it seems, he got the truck out quickly enough with just some light pulling, great work as always.

Good Bles all truckers and drivers and police and fire Dep. i like the nice Century 1150R rotator towing & recovery unit. take care of you all in USA. best regards from SWEDEN

The Yankum ropes are most useful when your tow vehicle is smaller or on sand or ice. They use the momentum of the tow vehicle to get transferred to the stuck vehicle, often in excess of what the tow vehicle's power or traction could produce. With your Rotator and other large tow trucks it might not be useful, but in smaller tow units it could be a good tool to have!

This is the video that KZfaq flags for blood gore or violence I watched it three times now and I don't know what the hell KZfaq is talking about Ron keep doing what you doing I love your videos

Ron, have a look at Matt's Offroad Recovery channel if you want to see some good examples of using the yankum ropes. He is a big fan of them and they work very well for him.

It's so amazing to see you're footage and work skills, better than a show on recovery in BC in Canada! Hi from Québec!

Man you couldn’t slice a piece of cheese thinner than the way he missed those anchor wires for that pole. Well done driver and hats off to you Ron and The Midwest team!!!

My 9 year old special needs son Logan loves watching your videos. It's the only thing he will watch. He is nonverbal and when ever you complete lifting a truck he claps and gets so excited!! We love you here in GA

Good and quick. I was surprised to see David. He's so respectful and well mannered. Just like he said to Ron, you had no way of knowing. He wasn't upset for making an unnecessary trip. What happened to the sirens for running code?

I think them new yankum ropes are gonna make your business alot quicker and more professional. I'd love to see one on a rollback recovery. Quick and easy.

Glad you were able to reupload this...that rope did a great job...looked real smooth. Glad no one was hurt badly, will be praying for him and of course for you and your family and crew. God Bless Ron

Lovely job Ron I am so pleased that it wasn't much worse which it could have been and I hope the driver recovers quickly . That yankum rope seemed to help immensely spped up the process , I wonder wether it wouldn't be an idea to have a short piece of chain to put around axles as I don't know wether the d ring will put a strain on the end shackled around the axle. God bless and safe roads

Remember too vote. Great video!

I was waiting for this video when I seen the post that you couldn’t release it

Another great video from the most wholesome youtuber

Ron, I love your videos. I hope you, your family, your parents and your crew are all healthy and doing well. God Bless you all. My live to all. Stay well.

I wish we could see more of the response driving, even if you’re not talking to us, for obvious reasons. Excellent video as always Ron, keep up the good work 👍

Check out Matt's off road recovery and see what he does with the Yankum Ropes

Ever since you got the Q siren you’ve never have done code 3 response videos anymore :( if you could, could you bring some of those videos back? :) please and thank you sir! Stay safe out there!

Ron there's a KZfaq channel called Matt's off road recovery he uses those his videos should give you a idea on how useful they may be

Good evening sir! Great work as always!! ❤

It's awesome he got stopped before hitting the house.

Another great job Prayers for the driver God bless

Once again, great video Ron. Every time I hear “Yankum rope” I can’t help but think about Casey Ledell lol

I have seen the Yankum ropes demonstrated on Matt's Off Road.Recovery, he tows in the desert, pulling people out of sand dunes, the rope tranfers kinetic energy, I think that how they work, I am sold, going to get a couple of these ropes for our towing needs. The ropes have different weight classifications.

love watching u work very professional and kind to fellow workers

A yankum rope!? Have you been watching Matt's Off Road Recovery?

Ouch, that was a pretty bad one. I hope the driver recovers well soon. And damn, the truck missed that cable on the pole just by a few inches! Just good that the trailer was not loaded with something or this recovery whould have been a LOT more complicated than it already was.

Ron thank you for Northeast Missouri. Blessed to be able to watch something like this rather than TV with my disability. God bless

Hello Ron, another good video of you doing what you do best, helping citizens in trouble. Well done, thanks for sharing and remember to stay safe 😷.

Good to see it re-uploaded ❤️

Great job Ron. Nice smooth pull with the big rope. Yankum ropes are awesome. If you wanna see some real time use, Matt at Winder Towing uses the 3/4 ropes (if I remember correctly) with his jeep (The Yellow Banana) all the time on his KZfaq channel "Matt's Off Road Recovery". I love watching his videos all the time too.

Hopefully the driver only suffered minor injuries and will make a full recovery another great video Ron god bless you and your family

Dang Ron, I know the road is blocked but it's not worth a heart attack! Slow down a little!

Ron I just want to say I love your videos I look forward to the new ones 👍👍 Hello From Windsor Connecticut Stay Safe

Ron, I discovered your video's through a search of KZfaq. I really like your safety practices. I also appreciate the sequence of steps you go through on every job. At this point I look at crash and recovery sites differently. The new Yankum Ropes in this video will be a great value to you and others. I also liked the motorcycle slider. Blessings to you and family my friend. Be safe.

Thanks again, Ron. God bless Ethan!

Another great video on tow truck operator ingenuity! Thanks Ron.

Glad the video is back!!!! So I can watch it again Thank you Ron...

I remember the yankum rope from the "dragging a deere" video! with your 337 pete rollback anchored to the tree that you uploaded last month... very useful addition to the toolkit. So glad it didnt get any worse than it was. My thoughts are with the driver. Hope he recovers soon. Many thanks for the upload Ron. Stay safe out there.

I wish Marx driver a speedy recovery hope he's doing all right prayers and thoughts and well-wishes out to God bless you all

Wow, what a nice truck you have. I've watched the TV shows with these, but their vehicles are older and they show outside only.

Already watched but keep the great videos coming

You do good job Ron Pratt

Take you for what you do God bless y'all on the road

Im glad the video is back!

Hear the first note of the intro song, hit like. I know it is going to be good. Always good watching true professionals at work. The horn "talking" was cool. That rope sure did the job.

Another great job. Blessings. 🙏👠👠

Ron I watch a lot of farming youtube channels and there are at least a half dozen of them use the Yankum ropes from pulling out stuck combines, tractors, grain cargts, etc., and these guys swear by them. I think as you get used to them, you'll want to equip all your heavies with a couple of their ropes, They do the job and do it well.

I remember Mark and a similar truck in an accident a while back in a video. Mark seems like a nice character.

Finally it’s no longer a private video, great recovery, as always. God bless.
