    I'd love to see more on what happens to this old iron after the recoveries
  • I love and enjoy watching all your recovery videos. My 11 year old son also gets a laugh out of the times your team"clowns around". Keep up the great jobs and more importantly, keep remaining safe while doing so
  • I am a somewhat retired professional engineer who did construction materials testing and geotechnical engineering since 1972. I know, before you were born. I love watching the recovery videos of machines stuck and buried to the roofs! Your ingenuity in getting them out is amazing. Stay safe. Theresa Bailey
  • Just a good feeling seeing them all smiling and hugging at the end! You guys have a good group of friends and don't take that for granted because we don't stay forever!!! Keep up the amazing work!
  • I gotta say I love seeing these old machines being recovered and being given a chance to come back to life But I do gotta say PLEASE be careful when using chains as they can snap and really hurt someone There was a farmer who lived about 20 minutes from where I am who was pulling a tree out of his field with a tractor and a chain. About 1/2 way though the job the chain broke and whiplashed straight through his cab and decapitated him instantly His family didn’t find him till the late afternoon when they came to the field and saw the tractor running at idle with both the back and front windscreens destroyed please be very careful when using high tension especially with chains as i would hate to see anyone especially you get hurt or let alone killed Keep up the great content Stay safe

    Back in the 60s, my dad used to haul heavy equipment like this using a double gooseneck trailer. I was just a child at the time but I remember everything as being massive. He would deliver to the big hydroelectric and highway projects that were going on at the time.
  • i love the fact this team are a little bit unorganised ~ sometimes winging it, learning as they go, evolving it is both charming and calming youtube is wonderful for anthropologists 🥰

    Another great recovery Vlog Heavy D!!! Thank you!! Love watching these and look forward to every one that you post.
  • Heck yeah I grew up in Orderville still visit my parents over there all the time. I remember seeing that scraper there from the other side of the river. Glad you guys can do something with it.

    Merry Christmas to you and your family and friends. I love to watch your recovery videos. I used to work at heavy and big trucks store, so I kinda have a heart for heavy and big trucks. Truckers are some great people with a dangerous job may God bless them all. Just want to tell you, your doing a great job. God bless you all this Christmas season. Keep up the good work. You all have a good heart its great to see.
  • I enjoy watching the recovery videos! They are always interesting an fun to watch to pass time when I’m waiting to get unloaded!
  • @jdboyd1861
    I love the videos of these types of recoveries! Curious about the weight on the trailer particularly, with a tandem limit of 38,000 in Utah. Scraper was loaded with the front axle over the trailer tandems, and it has to be close to that on the front axle of the scraper if not over. That thing looks HEAVY!!!

    That was awesome to see I'd love to show you a video of an old military dump truck I had to recover up on a ski resort that went off an embankment about 200 yards straight down 2 heavy wreckers and 12 hours later we got it back up on the road keep up the great videos much love my brotha's
  • Dave: I was in the heavy duty towing business for several years and actually had the pleasure to operate the first Holmes 1801 west of the Mississippi. It was a beast. As division manager I was tasked with numerous recoveries. I wanted to pass along one technique which I used several times . I specialized in cement mixer recovery, as you know a loaded STUCK mixer can be quite difficult to recover. Here it is: if access is from either end, try to run your main winch line under the stuck vehicle if possible to the front of the vehicle , secure it around the frame if possible in front of steer axel. When you apply winching not only do you apply a pulling force, but a lifting one as well. That’s it…. it worked for me, but might not be applicable to all situations….. Great Job, I love watching your content…Thanks
  • @jessemarvin3217
    I absolutely love what you guys are doing. I'd personally love to work with you guys.....Keep up the good work. I'm looking forward to seeing the next video and more updates on the Susan Powell case.
  • @OriginalMomo
    When Dave says”I may have bitten more than I can chew” I click crazy fast…. Love your recoveries.
  • @Clarkie2936
    Love the recovery videos they are always good to watch
  • @Toesmack1
    I never actually saw how it was done, but we had a transport driver in Reno, NV that hauled in 2 different Cat scrapers that were D.O.A. Both were dead stick and he loaded these by himself using only the recovery winches on the trailer and tractor. Didn't take all that long either. Wish I had seen how that was done. My part was replacing the engines in both. They did have air in the tires though, thats gotta help!
