As an equipment operator and equipment owner with a construction company with a few rescues under his belt, in Texas. There are few things I would have done differently in this situation. But I don't think this would have been legal in California. The fact you guys did this without cracking the hydraulic pressure on the cylinders and getting this thing up right is super impressive. Respect where it's due. You guys did a great job.

On the face of it to us laymen this looked an easy peasy job. And when I started watching I thought this isn’t worthy of a KZread video given your usual standards. But wow ! How wrong was I !! What a recovery. Not as simple as it looked. Great work and great team work. Best wishes from the UK 🇬🇧

The only way that bucket will curl in is if someone moves the control lever as if they are operating and curling the bucket, unless you break open the hydraulic lines.

Just asking, doesn't the big SAFETY level on the left side of the seat be in the DOWN position. I thought that was the main control for any function, so the operator is seated. Again does that lever also have to be DOWN to release Hydraulic pressure. Or is that just a safety solenoid control for just starting.

@banffdigger

@@rp1645 That lever is just to lockout the pilot controls, older machines it was connected directly to a valve that blocked the pressure from the pilot pump thus not allowing the pilot valves to actuate the main valve bank. Lots of machines will start regardless of the lockout lever position, some newer machines do have the lockout lever tied into the starting circuit.

What a workout!!!! Alex and Josh, the way you work together is an excellent example of how to get the job done......you guys are simply amazing👏👏👏👏

3:00 - Damn, some people are just so careless/reckless/clueless! There literally is a giant rig with it's hazard lights on, parked on a hairpin curve on a steep grade, and a dude with a high-viz vest blocking the open lane... And here comes Speed Racer at full throttle like he's the Mayor of Beverly Hills. Stay safe, Josh and team!

Another incredible recovery, you guys are so spot on with the rigging at impossible angles. Very impressive company. 👍👍

Fantastic job, Josh and Alex. You guys got a plan for everything!!

Great job. You kept working at it with what you brought and you accomplished the task at hand. High marks!

The angle of the dangle was just right. 👍 😀😀😀

Josh and Alex, you two are a fantastic team, and Josh you must have straight A's in trigonometry. Your ability to figure angles and hook ups and where this huge thing was going, just wow. Great video, loved the camaraderie too.

It is great to see you two guys working. Bouncing ideas off each other, no egos, just professionals getting the job done.

That was recovery ballet! Your skill and experience was on display for everyone to enjoy. Amazing job!

That engine can be hydrolocked, so you have to pull the injectors to be on the save side. That smoke showed that oil went into the combustionchambers, hopefully it went good.

What's crazy about them? I guess it's a bit steep, but nowhere near crazy steep. I guess you could say that the width of the road is crazy. Crazy wide for a residential road (unless that's a through road to another larger residential area)

Well that was different. Really made Alex and you think about how to do it. Great job guys. I actually don't care about all that rich people things. I could pass by all those famous people and never know who they are or care. My normal day to day is enough for me. Thanks for sharing. Much love. Stay safe and healthy

I really like watching you, Pratt, & Plaza. It seems you all gat in to different situations that have to be figured out.

Amazing! You guys really understand the scale of the risks involved, know what you're doing, take your time, and use your equipment masterfully. And Flipper makes the excavator look like a toy. Thanks for going to the extra effort to record and share this. Cheers!

Alex, Josh and Big Flipper are up to the task! Great video.

Good job bro's, I like watching recovery videos and watch you guy's overcome all of the challenges of the particular recovery, no two recoveries are the same. You use all of the knowledge and skills you have collected from previous jobs. Very nice towing rig you have to, modifying the rear axle to raise up is really cool and fantastic idea. Thanks again.

Nice job! Every time I watch your truck in action I’m astonished by how strong it is. And it’s like the Swiss Army knife of tow trucks.

i know you charge a lot of money for what you do but you worth every penny of it good luck be safe

Super job on the recovery. I was worried that when you got it up righted it would roll down the hill. But as usual you guys handled it.

The boss asked me "Why are you dragging that chain?" I said " Because it's easier than pushing it!"

Wow that was an insane crazy upside-down recovery guys… And on that freaking hillside just added to the fun…! Only on Pepe’s KZread channel…!!! Good thing you had those wide Baileys straps…!Then 32:14 & up with the drone to get those awesome & fabulous sky shots… Awesome recovery Alex and Josh…!Josh, I googled Davies Dr. then added your shop address and it’s about 21 miles depending on which you go. I like doing that too… LOL

Well done. Again, I'm totally impressed. Very fun to watch. Thanks.

Top team cope with ease despite the problems they faced, well done guys great to watch.

Josh and Alex - always getting the interesting calls. At least it was easier than that flipped over crane.

Just having the ignition on wasn't enough to open the valves, he also needed to bring the safety arm down to engage the hydraulics. I don't think the "operator" understood that he didn't actually have to start the machine, just liven the circuit.

Damn what a job!!! You guys are the best . Really enjoyed this video,bet you were exhausted. Bless the beast of a wrecker.

Mr Josh That one had me sitting on the edge. Awesome video. Stay safe

Y'all have been getting some challenging calls here lately great work

Great team work yet again! You both sure had a workout on this job! well done :)

The Dream Team, Josh and Alex, on the job again. A very awkward job, well executed.

I operate a top-heavy backhoe, and my secret on steep slopes is to never go fast. Stay at idle and pay attention to keeping the machine from getting close to what you already know is the tipping point of your machine. That is a very steep slope though. Good job of getting the machine back on track again.

Owner: "Hey. Please don't scratch it!" Too bad the tracks couldn't have been squared up with the cab.

What I appreciate more than anything else in this video is the total lack of screaming and shouting. Professional riggers take the time to THINK before they speak, and it is refreshing to see a video showing that. Thank you, Pepe.

Steep Angle on gravel to be hauling up slings, chains, shackles etc and then recovering it down to a distance where you could lift it! Great job guys, well done 👍💕🇮🇪

Shit man the real estate reports and pretty funny 😂 but watching yall plan to rig it ! Pretty impressive

Great video, AGAIN. Thanks.
