Last Minute Christmas Shopping at the Ritchie Bros Auction! ( Don't tell my wife) 

Here’s the link to part two! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-z495rRKsdlw.html

Best line yet, cracked me up. Maybe a good slogan for some merch. "Sure don't need it, But if the price is right." -DieselCreek

My wife actually called the local auction company and told them I had mental disturbances and no money! Now that’s low! I had to have my friend bid for me!

6V-71. Looks like a real time capsule there. Will definitely need some fixing. I think someone threw some random engine parts in the cab of that Ford crane truck to keep the bidding down. Wasn’t me this time.

15:22 that front winch is for a whole meriad of things, recovering yourself when you get stuck, recovering sth else thats stuck, positioning suspended pieces, also you can lift up on flipped vehicles with your boom then gently turn it upright and lower it down with the boom as opposed to yank it upright have it slam the suspension and possibly destroy something but also fixing yourself to a structure or big tree when you use the crane like a winch to recover something heavy like a truck that went all the way down a hillside

I'm figuring Matt bought himself an office trailer to turn it into an indoor workshop out at the farm.

The winch on the front of that Grove crane serves a few different purposes - 1. Loading/unloading, Due to the ridiculous weight differential, paired with solid axles/no suspension and hydraulic breaks that struggle under tap and go operation, winch crawling the machine onto your transport is the only way to go...You learn that after driving it up the first time, hitting the break pedal, hearing the million dollar whine of death and watching your crane boom become your uninvited passenger in the cab of your rig after the hydraulic brakes actuated 2 seconds late and underpowered due to low rpm hydraulic pressure. 2. Static tethering - if you are in a position where you are on a vertical or lateral offset to your load, you can rig your winches (dual front and rear, never singular) in conjunction with your outriggers to oppose each other under tension to achieve proper anchoring. This is incredibly meticulous and not advisable. Plenty of RU-vid videos showing it going wrong. As far as load control, you never want to have two solid state articulating lines controlling one load, it may seem like a great way to prevent twisting or swaying, but this causes the load to be under constant preload tension In one direction and can cause the straps/chains to point load in one very small area leading to snapping/stretching.

Favorite quote, Every year there seems to be less earth moving equipment here" Yeah, you keep buying it all. Looking forward to what your new shopping trip includes

Yes to the crapper , go all in on it. Nothing like pooping on the potty rather than next to a tree.

Thanks for using our new song Joyride! It is the first song off of our upcoming album "Play That Rock n Roll" coming January 14th 2022!

We had a case w11b for about 18 years. We had a 10’ pusher for plowing snow snow at commercial sites. Loaded material with it during the summer. That thing never had a major mechanical issue. Unbelievably dependable machine for us.

My guesses are: You bid on one or two lots of concrete cubes, put a bid in on the Terex, low balled a bid on the small loader, and maybe also one of the office or shop trailers. Looking forward to part two, Matt.

The wire spool on the crane will shut down the engine if an operator runs the block into the upper sheave, the vacuum pump tank is to clean synthetic drilling mud from drill rig floor and other areas, its made from 50% mineral oil ,so you need to be sure its clean ,you don't need the DEP visiting you!

I reckon you end up with another light tower thingy (cos they are really useful), a couple of mobile cement buckets (cos they were a bargain), that crane truck cos no one bid on it, and a porta cabin of some description - possibly the toilet block (because it would be handy up at your storage yard site).

Speaking of the 1980 Autocar love to see you work on that and ofcourse the 57 blue beauty, and see Christine up and grading roads the future is going to be awesome

11:23 It’s for dewatering usually you put a media like carbon or whatever you’re using(in the big black tank) to filter the water you’re moving! There’s a valve at the bottom with a screen and the water usually runs from that to bag filters and then to a drainage.

Bought a 5 ton box truck from Ritchie Bros. and got a paid receipt. Instead of releasing the truck to me, they took my property and relisted it on their website. Said they didn't get enough money the first time around. Called the police and reported my truck as stolen. Ritchie kind of changed their attitude after they got a call from the police.

YOU CAN'T FIX STUPID BUT YOU CAN SUBSCRIBE TO IT! I thank you I'm here all week 😁

Can't wait for the second part. Thanks Matt for taking us along , I appreciated so much , can't wait to see what you get

Love it. Best to get 'good' stuff at 'junk' prices. Enjoy the channel, keep the videos coming!

I love those little ride behind baby buckets

As my friend would say" Two elephants for a quarter is a good deal, if you need two elephants and you have a quarter"!

The Terex was the standout classic machine...........you gotta buy that gem.

Best start to my day

Man O man... I sure spend a lot of time in the seat of a Terex 82-20. Moved a lot of dirt and pit run material for crushing plant. Nice machine to work with, great blade visibility, and comfortable steering clutch position.

One of the things I like about your channel (apart from everything) is you ask to give it a thumbs up after you have watched it, unlike most others that ask you to give it a thumbs up at the beginning, why would anyone do that, it might not be thumbs up worthy.

We were laughing at the "cant fix stupid" on the dozer blade when we stopped out to check out what was there lol

That last short scene (at about 35:00), where they are loading a big piece of flat steel onto a flatbed. Note the two 2x4s placed underneath. Have you priced wood, lately? Really, you are buying the 2x4s, and the steel is just a gimmie to hold them down. ;) Ha!

the winch up front called a tugger was normally used for pilling the bundle out of a heat exchanger in refineries or chemical plants. done that for a good many years.

Now I want to know what you scored. Bring out part two asap please. Loved looking at all the equipment with you. 👍

In England they get a bit of land and fill with shipping containers , fence it off and hire out storage .

Where do spare parts always come from? "Bud" takes something apart, puts it together again, and has "extra parts left over". Of course, if he's like my grandfather the thing still works, but just has a new quirk you get to discover and adjust for. Usually it didn't make anything (even) more unsafe to use.

To answer the question about the winch... the boom is for fishing and the winch helps land the big one that got away, but of course it never was used. 🐳😁

We call them coffin blocks at my work. Drivers that come back with extra concrete from a job pour it into forms so it doesn’t go to waste. They’re about 1 yard each, between 3-4k pounds and I think they sell em for like 20 bucks each. I load tons of them each week

(Posted by Rick Pickell) The only competition that Ritchie Bros. Auction equipment has in the department of being wallered and worn out. Is a street Walker on fourth street in Sioux City, IA. But they are at such a neck and neck in that. You are basically buying someone else's headache.

Awesome! a new Diesel Creek video when I'm at my desk done with all my morning work and still need to finish my coffee! Heck yeah!!

Since I had to quit work at 51, denied disability and was just too tired and too much pain to fight I did NOT get a lawyer. BIG MISTAKE. Ended up spending my life’s savings of 29.5 years of long, hard, stressful work and savings it’s all gone. Just this past July got on SS Retirement so no longer needing intermittent help from our two really good grown and mature children. So I too sit in the cheaper seats and like you are now I used to be able to do all forms of work in equipments but relative novice to diesel engines which just need timing, compression, fuel and air to run at least on the older pre-electronics units.

I'm going with the Cat dozer that says "you can't fix stupid" on the blade.

reminds me of a UK TV show many years ago .The punch line for a tailor was “ Never mind the quality,feel the width”😅

As the owner of a small time ISP, Ritchie Bros is a lifesaver when it comes to buying gear. Can't afford it new, renting is expensive, but quality used equipment? Gets the job done just fine. Assuming the guys who owned it before you weren't dickheads and beat the snot out of it.

I like this type of video about stuff at auction. You're picking up steel plate so my guess is the dozer.

"The price of trucks is just astronomical right now." Tell me about it. When you're looking at the 2500 and up range, It's often cheaper to pick up a used one and fix it up than it is to buy a new one. Buyer beware though, when you're picking up a used truck, with the exception of liquidation sales, it's almost always somebody else's problem (pickups, especially), and you'll be spending some time either under the hood, or ripping apart the transmission to replace the clutch packs because people don't know what the gears are for.

Matt, Bluebird buses are built in Fort Valley, Georgia. I work at the national parts warehouse in Delaware, Ohio. Al B, in Ohio.

I really enjoy going to the Richey Brothers Auction yard with you & seeing all of the items up for auction ! I think you also got the small bus ! Thanks Matt !

Willing the Case has a 4BT. Thats why it rocked.

We had some of those 4-pack racks of Miller welders at my tech school, crazy to see them sitting outside uncovered.

Love your acumen as to what is workable.

That dozer with the note"can't fix" had your name all over it. I was sure you were going to take it home.

Ahh that Terex...I used to call that colour "Devastator green" as a kid.

Damn! Now the suspense will be killing me! 😂. My guess is you bought the dozer and at the end of the video you are picking up the steel to patch the blade

I like that little Dingo and the Crane truck👍😊

Hi Matt, I'm guessing you got the Terex dozer judging by the purchase of what looks to me like 1/4" steel plate to repair the blade? Loving the channel 👍

that teeny track loader is adorable.

Good morning Matt and thumbs UP to you !!

8:02 AC says exactly the same about these gear shifts

Matt just goes to the Auctions to play with the toys.

Marty T just made a video about picking up one of these Terexes for restoration!

"She's had a few hot suppers" NEEDS to be on some shirts! LOL.

My really liked auctions,he bought a lot of different trailers,campers etc.

I’m sure your wife would love that cute little loader 😀

Most of the time I sit in a 12k lbs excavators in really cramped spaces and I must say I like the sticks when you move around in tight spots.

They had a pile of those Dillon tankers at the Atlanta auction a few weeks ago. A lot of them went for less than 300 bucks. I do wish their timed auction was more like ebay and once it ran out of time, then that's it. Adding time to an item gets really nerve racking.

I have an 85D and it’s one my favorite excavators

Someone or a group with deep pockets is going to have a field day with this auction. I'm looking forward in seeing the Diesel Creek Tour Bus.

Whowa yes they have alot of pieces there, we have noticed the auctions growing larger out here too Thanks Matt. Central California Watching

I’d be sleeping in the dog house if I went to that auction and broke

Bought my '95 Dodge diesel new. 22 mpg with 3.54 and a 5 spd. 2 U-joints, water pump and a snake belt tensioner are all I have replaced in 26 years of mountain driving. No and I mean"0" rust.

Im hoping terex dozer its got a 2 stroke detriot that thing would sound awesome moving some material and maybe the cummins school bus which could make a good mobile tool truck or service truck

Gotta Love a good Auction!

Ran a 8220 years ago. What a hoss. Easy machine to operate. Good project for your shop.

The Terex looks really sweet! I hope that shows up on your farm soon :)

Next up - the 1965 CAT D8H that Serguei Dratchev took on a tour.

Hey matt some of us like the longer video's you do i hope you get what ever you want thanks for great video's

you Know glad im not the only one who shops at the dead row thats usually where i start

Just remember Matt , it’s easier to ask for forgiveness than it is to ask for permission !! And we won’t tell the wife !!LOL Hope you and the family have a Merry Christmas !!

The shot of those Miller welding sources got me going... I'd love a couple of those.

After delivering a load to the Ritchie Brother's in Atlanta I've been meaning to set up an account. Just this morning I won the bid on a truck at Copart. I'm a nervous wreck hoping it was worth it. Posted a video of the online bidding. I only know two guys in Pennsylvania, and the other one would never buy a Ford...

that guy doing the auction announcing on the website should be the singer in a band or something i find him mesmerising he's like a song

G'day Matt,,, Best wishes to you & your lady for a safe n Happy Christmas..... Siincere thanks for entertaining myself & the faithfull throughout the year .. The vids have been just fabulous , really looking foward to 2022. Errrr ,,,,, what you really need is a broken dowm crane truck, something different.... Respect from Down Under

So a good thing to do when checking oil in old machine’s, is hold a lighter or match on the dip stick at the end right on the oil , heat it up, and if there is water in it , it will sizzle like bacon 🥓 frying, ok that will tell you a lot , kool thanks BigAl California

Some meditate or do yoga int the morning to start the day. Not me. I watch Diesel Creek!

Some cracking trucks there the black Ram is a beauty

Oh man, would have loved that Dingo. Just the right size for the jobs I want to get done. Of course, because it's small heavy equipment, it's always more expensive than large and older. That parts inoperable crane truck had a filter dated this year...

I had a "Can't Fix Stupid" sign on my utility trailer. It was destroyed when an uninsured motorist totaled the trailer, my truck, and almost me.

You share my "love" for Ram trucks, i have one, never again!!

Watching the last of the northeast auction. The dozer went for $4K so the question is would you spend that much for the old dozer?

Mint mint mint mint mint mint mint mint ritchie bros auctioneers have a bunch of very good stuff from them

Recently, I kidded Matt about running an orphanage for diesel-powered equipment. Now, I'm not so sure it's a joke.

I'm guessing you bought the Terex dozer,thats what the flat steel plate is for!! The bathroom trailer setup would be a nice addition to your workshop in the woods,some of them have haz-mat showers,easily converted to a regular hot water shower,a small generator for in the back of the work truck,maybe a rack of welders( if their priced cheap enough),to use or for parts.😎😎😎

There is always hope, once I even bought something that wasn't in the dead row.

You amaze me, Can hardly wait until the 2nd video to see what you purchased if anything. Hope you and your wife have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Best moment "la bataria es no bueno" 😂 youre the best Matt

Hi Matt, Case 1150 had two lines on the rod, just by the blade for the tilt hydraulic ram!

Well if you're ever in Owasso Oklahoma come to lowes and Matt keep saving the old rusty iron

love these vids matt. keep em up!

132 foot crane will lift Matt up then get stuck in the sky!He'll call for FD rescue.That Cummins engine looks interesting from overhead!

The crane truck & the office trailer. That office trailer I would turn into a house.

I kinda like the Terex dozer part of that is I like green the other is I love the 2 stroke noises

The purpose of the power source at the end of the boom on the grove crane is for attachments such as pile driving, drilling etc.

I have really enjoyed the teaser segments at the end of your videos showing upcoming content. Great videos lately, keep it up!
