Trip to local junk auction has me a little concerned about the economy and @C_CEQUIPMENT saved me 

Thx for bring us along with you at the auction ! 🍺😎

at 34:37 It's crazy how all of us welders, farmers, heavy equipment operators, and youtube entertainers run in the same circle. This might be the 3rd @DirtPerfect video I've watched, but to mention Larson's @larsonfarms and many @letsdig18 shoutouts... just great! 👌Cheer's from "No Mans Land" Oklahoma!

best crack you`ve said for a long time buddie , " wow someone parked this on the wrong side of town" .. I liked it 👏👏👏👏

Thank you for taking us along and Revealing the final prices on the machines really helped. Thank you. Another great video DP.🎉😊❤

I guess that it depends on one's perspective. Last year, there may not have been equipment for sale because no one could get any new equipment, so they had to hold on to what they had. Now that people are able to secure new equipment, they are unloading the equipment that they were forced to hold on to. There is so much gloom and doom talked about in the media but I certainly don't see it from where I am standing. 🤷‍♂

Mike is like a kid in a candy store ,Auction yards are cool,Clint is here to from C&C equipment also checking on equipment ,I'm surprised Matt from Diesel Creek isn't here .

Definitely see a slow turn around here in economy but that always happens this time of year so hopefully it bounces back. One could also argue the used equipment came back because people finally obtained their new equipment after 2-3 years due to the supply chain issues so a lot can finally sell their older stuff.

That was interesting, from the auction I was bidding in yesterday, some of the "junk" there in Louisville would have brought about double the price, from people who aren't sure what they're bidding on. (Jeepers, some people go crazy at auctions, and pay MORE for worn-out stuff than they could go across the road and buy brand new!) Thanks for mentioning the airplane going over, I thought the machine's hydraulic pump was about to seize up!

Auctions are always interesting, you see some crazy stuff go for more than new. I know projects that involve Federal money have to be Tier 4 compliant and it can be down sizing or older contractors retiring. A tape measure always makes you a contractor until they are hit with the reality of insurance, then you see the equipment returned in a short time.....😁Attending an auction in the middle of snow storm doesn't work either, I won't do that again. And then you have other buyers like Clint who know the current market pretty well......

33:29 In NJ you can get a special trailer plate and permanently have the abilty to go up to10ft wide as long as the load doesn't exceed the physical dimensions of the trailer. It costs $200 something to register and the MVC want an accord insurance certificate on file. It is a code 23 special trailer. All the stipulations of an oversize load still count, you just have a permanent permit with a one time fee.

That was fun. Thanks for letting us tag along. Us amateurs dream of finding a deal at an auction. Of course, no more than I know, I’d probably be the guy getting burnt lol. I’m hoping to find a fixer up backhoe just to play with on my hills down here in Georgia.

Thanks for bringing us along for the auction. Too bad you did not get the buckets you wanted.

Love the auction videos and what you see at the auction. The exhaust on that D4 was impressive how someone is able to do that. Thanks DP.

Good to see the Auction prices come down a bit compared to the last couple years!

love these auction videos,, good to see whats out there, and what it brings, and the chance of you taking something home too !

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍. Thank you for taking us to the auction.

@18:53 when I was in law school during the summer vacation I worked at CAT Building K in Montgomery IL bending hydraulic tubes for those excavator and Wheel Loaders. Great job for 3 months of work. The Ingersoll Rand tube bender was a CNC type bender.

Good job Mike you didn’t overpay for anything. There’s always Richie Brothers. And you know there needs to be more old iron or junk for Matt to show up.

Great video. Thanks for taking us along. A big thank you for telling us what they sold for.

Unbelievable price for used equipment. Thank you and have a good day.

Thanks for the tour sir - enjoyed the experience and education.

Thanks for the ride along and pointing out the price that they sold for, much appreciated.

Love the auction trips! Never ceases to amaze me just what you can find there, from salvaged OFF of the junkyard to needing to be ON the junkyard lol.. to a few hidden gems :) Thanks Mike as always

I think one thing that should scare everyone the most is the number of concrete trucks for sale. To me that means that construction is on the decline and the concrete companies are dumping their inventory of equipment so they don't have to carry that overhead through the down time. Very worrisome.

The bucket in question I believe is off a gradall. Thanks for taking us along to the sale

Thanks for taking us along to the "junk" auction there looked like some deals there if a guy wanted to fix his equipment before using it each time!

That ether is just for killing wasps, promise! Similar scenario on a farm auction here. They had so much stuff coming in they had to shut down registration early.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts, ideas and videos. Always interesting to tag along with you at an auction. Will be interesting to see if any of the equipment being forced into retirement in California makes its way east. Saw a recent video of guy looking at trucks in line at the scrap yard supposedly and remarking on all the new engine parts. Supposedly they are forcing any over the road trucks older than 2010 into retirement due to out of date emissions. Wishing you and your family the best.

I’ve always wanted to go to a machine auction. Thanks take care.

The best way to bid at those auctions is to wait till it's just one person bidding then bid otherwise you fan the flames and the prices shoot up because others want to get in on the bidding.

Thanks for letting us tag along bro, auctions up your way are always interesting. Safe travels from a very wet NZ

Man, what was the deal, with all those cement trucks..? Just happened to be the year to buy a whole new fleet of them.., pretty crazy. Thank you sir.

I always enjoy an auction! Thanks for taking us with you, be well and be safe!

next time Diesel Creek goes to an auction, you need to go.. LOL. he is always coming back with SOMETHING!! Just wasn't your time to get anything. best to save your money for things you NEED than just things you would like to have..Thank you for taking us along.

You starting a second channel Mike? Calling it "Chasing Junk". It's amazing to see what kind of equipment is for sale at these auctions

Thanks for the ride along dp 🤘🤘🤘🤘

Still trying to figure out how you kept all of those sale prices in your head. Love your work btw. Follow you and Chris for a while now.

That’s experience. Smart to not over pay. Good job. It’s not easy to try and grab something

i agree, were still bidding alot of work right now but im thinking that this year will be ok but next year we better hold on.

Pete you look like a proud papa showing off his new born, all we need is a cigar. Congrats on a wonderful job.

Mike & Clint at the auction all was needed was Logger Wade & Brandon from Dirt , Grain & Steel . That would be a bunch of laughing going on between that bunch .😁😂. Good video Mike . Mack

Love the actions thanks for sharing 👋👍🇨🇦

You don't need another dump truck, you need to finish Lt Dan first. Keep up the video's

The plywood added on the outside of the dump bed is there to keep the temperature up on loads of blacktop

Seems like most auctions happen when the weather is crappie 😂I’ve been to several and it’s either raining or way too hot to stand in the sun lol thanks for sharing

Always enjoy the auction videos. 👍

33:33 deisel creek needs a low-boy for his autocar. Kind of wish he was where your at man, so he could check out those trailers to buy one of them for his truck to haul his large equipment. Matt is looking for one Low-boy trailer, that's all he needs.

we repair a lot of machinery in our shop, it's getting to where we have units sitting around waiting parts for over a year in some cases. Mike gives a master class just making off the cuff observations, NICE.................got some real boat anchors in the lot today

Looking at most things there, there is a reason why the previous owner got rid of it. Sometimes there is a diamond in the rough but mostly not from what you showed us.

Thank you for taking the time and making these auction videos because I enjoy watching them and enjoy how you report back afterwards on the pricing. You really hit me in the soft spot when you made it to the old lowboy trailer and mentioned how that’s what you started with and said the phrase “gotta start somewhere” I’m in the same boat in life trying to start out with the little bit that I got hoping to make something out of it and better myself someday without going into debt instantly. God bless you Mike.

Mike, That is a self loader as you said. That scoop on the front does indeed load that and it does a pretty good job. I am building one of those self propelled dumpers. I am building a prototype and then we are going to start producing them as well as self propelled dump wheelbarrows.

Totally awesome ....Maybe I can meet you guys at an auction sometime when I get ready for my truck trailer and excavator , ship it all in one lump back to Hawaii

Good one Mike. Thank you for sharing.

Very interesting, shame about the buckets, but that's how it goes sometimes. Hopefully you'll find a couple soon which will be in better condition and you'll get on par a better price. When you see some of the stuff at an auction, I'm surprised what people will pay. Off course not buying anything will lead you into Mrs DP's trap of buying her that Winnebago! 🤗😂🤣

I love these auction videos. Checkin out what is out there. Sorry none of your buys worked out. Great video. Thank you DP. 👍

Always nice leaving with your pockets still full.

That's the only crappy part about living in the north. The salt kills the underbody of cars and trucks. I'm in they hold up way better. Auction have a tape measure u can bid on? Lol

I just traded in my JD-650 LGP 2020. I absolutely HATED IT due to the Lack of visibility. I now have a 2021 Komotsu D-39 LGP and I love it. More visibility on the blade and more power as well.

Always a fun day at the auction! Great video! Thanks, Mike! Lee

one thing for sure, high or low priced, that's what each machine was worth that particular day. Scott

Great information Tony 👍 Thanks for sharing 👏

Nice Sunday afternoon/ evening episode in the Dirt Perfect world. To bad you didn't get the items you were intersted in. I wonder if Clint picked anything up.

Not sure how construction is out your way, but new housing has just about came to a full stop here in Idaho. Next two months are looking pretty slow for truss delivery. The giant custom homes are kinda keeping us getting some hours, got a bunch of 68' to take to a house for their indoor gymnasium. Probably going to be three or four loads for that house alone.

Really enjoyed the trip to the junk auction.

Enjoyed the trip/auction 👍

Love these excursions into the candy store!

Get the d7 with the winch. And keep the winch. Work with the 850 and pull out equipment in muck

So much DP content this morning, it's going to be a good day!

Looks like some good and some junk there interesting of the amount of equipment there

Those 10' lowboys are common in Alabama and Mississippi. Get a annual permit for it and much easier to pull wider equipment.

Mike, I really enjoy watching you going to the auctions and yes that sweeper is from. An airport but we all know you'll get those buckets when the time Is right you're like a kid in a candy store at these places

Mike, I think you should have bought one of those crappy dumpsters, then buy a Air Carbon Arc Gouger, and weld together your own buckets with the help of T.M.B.T.S. I guess there is enough material to make 10 buckets! 😁😁😁😁

That old Cat is an E series, right? I ran one years ago and even have some videos of it somewhere. I will have to dig them out one day. I was running the high-horse E one day and the owner had already left and I got done for the day and went to shut her down and “Chug...Chug...Chug...” was still barely running. Kept banging the Go lever down but it just wouldn’t die. This was before wireless phones so I was on my own. My truck was a good walk away so I started looking for tools (among the empty beer cans... the owner would drink one light beer for lunch. He wasn’t a drunk) and saw a little crowbar. Now this was the first time I had ever seen a crowbar on a dozer so I figured that was the key. Went down the track to the injector pump and sure enough, the linkage was worn enough that it would pop over center and lock up so the crowbar was to pry it back into place and once I did that I could go home. Turned out that this machine had been owned by a neighbor of mine from a quarter mile up the road. Small world indeed.

Great video DP I enjoy the videos 🇺🇸

Mike great video! Thanks for sharing! Kevin

Fun video thanks Mike I enjoyed the auction

I have been seeing a lot of ads to sell your equipment, get top dollar for your equipment they say. If I had equipment that I didn’t use or rarely use now is the time to send it to auction. This doesn’t mean anything about the economy. It’s not a reliable indicator.

Only halfway through video and I see the buckets. Time to get MBTS to rework or build a custom bucket or two for your machines 🤔 😉 😁😁

Probably the only thing to take home apart from some engine issues was the 35C, mated to the 210 it would have worked very well.

Cheers Mike like a good auction and auction video ! Done one in my channel too last year!

Man I remember going to that auction when I was a kid. Good place to get some xtra buckets👍👍

Junk yard asap, some others to your back forty for spare parts. I think buyers are shipping them to the islands and central and south America.

I'd be in trouble at a place like that. Just watching the video I'm thinking 'With a little TLC that one could be nice. And oh, that one looks pretty decent, probably wouldn't take too much to get it back up and running. And someone needs to save that old girl, it might have to be me.' And then I'd be in debt up to my eyeballs and have a lot that looked like the auction lot. 😁

Great video Mike keeping them coming.

Operators and businesses closing up shop with that number of equipment - not good. No dollars spent means more for those 'surprises' in Florida. C&C Equipment will be there :)

Lol that cat exhaust looks like andrews!!when he got his D7 and was clearing trees and bent his over 😂😂😂

Love it....thanks dp

I really enjoyed this day at the auction and either companies have massively invested in new equipment or a bunch of folks are downsizing-the quantity of concrete trucks surprised me. A fella getting into the business should spend some time with you before buying equipment as you have obviously have quite a bit of knowledge and first hand experience. 👏🏻👏🏻✌🏻

ANOTHER FANTASTIC AUCTION

where is the enabler Chris when he is needed. that mini bus was saying take me to MBTS, SOT and Hoover. those dumpsters really make one question the auction's requirements for what qualifies to get in the gate. Ive seen dumpsters in better shape at the scrap yard

That one haulin trailer looks like it was setup for railroad equipment the rails on the neck and up the center

Check flatbed traffic on interstates. Another real indicator of our "state of construction".

Ya, I like these auctions. I don’t know you might have could got a deal on that Winged Horse. LoL

Love your videos dirt perfect awesome con tent

Hello D.P. I enjoy auctions but I can't go to any because I get caught up in the bidding frenzy and buy something I shouldn't have. Interesting day. Catch you on the next one.

Man I LOVE the auction videos you and Diesel Creek do

Thanks for the ride

Mike trust me if you want to get a 650 you might as well go for the 700, you would be much happier!!

OH!!Ya ... Coffees on ..lets go looking!! :-)!

Man I was itching to hear that ole Cat run..we had one just like it at the operating engineers training facility.
