[@Andrewlang90]

Ritchie Bros Auction, home of “It’s not the other companies problem, it’s yours now.”

[@johnmitchell1614]

Really!

[@RamminRanch]

Hahahahahahahahhaha

[@nlillas3934]

If it was full length could be a lot less........ or not...

[@CGaul]

Great comments, I sell a good amount of equipment at RB. I agree with the comments that most of the equipment being sold is in terrible condition or just wore out. The only decent equipment at the auction is from a contractor selling out or going bankrupt, the rest is most likely junk. Oh and whoever at RB came up with the appointment system for loading out equipment after the auction should be terminated immediately.

[@953beach]

I am the owner of a dirt business that has recently experienced the hardship of small business. Sold my dozer , excavator , truck , lowboy etc , been in business for 20 years. This video made me excited about my next venture. Applying with RB.

[@dcoker1234]

I've driven past that place 100's of times. That place is HUGE.

[@brad99rocks]

Dude this is light. I’ve been there when it was slammed full fence to fence. Crazy place.

[@MegaDargar]

Was born in Orlando and I would always pass this place on the highway, was pretty cool seeing everything.

[@plazatowing]

Definitely enjoyed the longer video and all the information in 1 video. Keep it up

[@loveistheanswer8137]

Nothing runs better than one with a 5 gallon overhaul paint job.

[@md.alhajislam1362]

Thank so much for this video

[@youbuyweplant]

As always, thanks for sharing!

[@wbball15]

Great stuff Build Witt crew. I've enjoyed moving machinery out of the "Orlando" Auction

[@rileysmall4317]

Richie brothers are also the main auctioneers in australia.

[@CAT972]

Looks like a lot of Hardrives equipment out there. Thanx for the inside look. Great video

[@schneiderexc3557]

I was there yesterday, it’s mind blowing the amount of iron at the site.

[@Bobbtherobber]

Always wanted to see something like that 🥰👍🏼 thank you for sharing

[@chrismyers2490]

Such an underrated channel! 🙌

[@AaronWitt]

Thank you

[@aslater2727]

These dudes have private jets and mega yachts. Seen them grow from the early days big time.

[@brandon3504]

dave ritchie is no longer a part of the company, most corporate is new or been there less than 10 years. the original ritchie bros is completely gone and thats why i quit recently! Management and this company as a whole is going downhill.

[@tf7274]

Dave Ritchie came to my office many times...a hot 20 year old had my office before me...I had a large ERTL Deere Grader in my office window...I got offers on it from customers every sale.

[@r3b3lxxleader]

My father buys stuff from Ritchie bros all the time from their Dallas site and I’ve been to the site quite a bit in the past. Lots of stuff to see

[@Eazyset]

Send me an email need help moving your equipment.. I’m a broker & owner operator

[@agoodballet]

I’ve been to Ritchie Bro’s in Perris CA several times. The place is Awesome! Makes me wish I had a couple million bucks to buy some toys.

[@AaronWitt]

you and me both. One day...

[@dennisholst4322]

Did you know Shakey stake

[@Len_M.]

Their Edmonton Auction is pretty big too.

[@chrispl634]

that hat is sick

[@jzmcgriggs8652]

Awesome drone footage! Really really awesome!

[@mikeyoung5211]

Ritchey brothers are they nation wide

[@donahoo21]

“We’ll get out of your hair…..” 👀 😂

[@ronaldfulton1175]

Majority of it is destined for 3rd world countries because of expensive repairs needed, cranes close to or out of code. Major leaks deep inside that are expensive to repair. I hauled a CAT grader out of there to Texas. Small independent reseller bought it online...he was very sick when he saw it in real life. Argued with me that no way it was the piece he had seen online. He was more sick when the serial number was exact. It was completely worn out, battery box was made out of paper mache, fresh paint over grease/oil and new decals. Started it and worked the controls...oil was bubbling through hoses. Only redeeming features were the nearly new, albeit dry rotted tires that held air and all new glass. As they say, let the buyer beware.

[@Buickboy81]

Have always wanted to go to one of their auctions! Only lived like 1.5hrs away from them for the last 20+ years lol

[@AaronWitt]

go!! They're a great time

[@Bowiiihowdy]

Edmonton AB canada also has a large site, when shes packed she can beat the orlando one

[@bradjames6748]

Richie bros. Head office was in an unassuming small office building just outside the fence of Vancouver BC international airport, which belies the gigantic operation it is , now the corporate offices are in a brand new location in Burnaby BC.....I guess the staff does a lot of flying

[@jetpackadventures1202]

intersting- actually your ritchie rep made a big difference to keep things moving along - great job aaron again diversity

[@Lracer61]

Very interesting video, thanks!

[@farmhandluke5182]

Thanks for the video and great drone shots! That’s one massive collection of iron! 🏗 Great to see how they streamline the process of inventory clean ,paint, and placement for the sale! Some really nice equipment there on the lot for sure! But I like how out of all the machines you spotted and zeroed in on the ugly duckling 🐥 one of a kind loader forklift!😄 I would have been drawn right to it myself! Appreciated the field trip keep up the great work!👍👋

[@cgjp3812]

On my way there from Ontario right now

[@thepaintprofessor]

The camera angles didn't do the elevation change in this yard justice. It feels even more massive from the interstate.

[@thomasarchambault9463]

I’m a disabled combat veteran rated at 100% permanent and total. I love watching these auction videos and hate knowing that I’ll probably never get to own them. I was lucky enough to get a deal on some land in Wyoming. My reality is, I need a good used D4 bulldozer to maintain the road and a good sized excavator like a 320 to do the things I dream of doing. If I were ever granted a wish from the make believe, Make A Wish Foundation, it would be to have a friendship/adoption deal with the owner of one of these big auction companies. Great video. 👍🇺🇸

[@Hockey-ny7tp]

I bet I still couldn't afford a decent bob cat even from here

[@1953travis]

How many acres are they on, years ago I hauled every once and a while out of Ritchie Bros near Olympia Wa in size Olympia was tiny in comparison, great video....

[@dorispowers9060]

It blow me away how a person or company buys this equipment and before it is completely worn out sell the equipment.

[@digginforalivin2930]

I “really” liked this video

[@tf7274]

I love my RBA stock...pays for a coffee every couple of months...

[@1farmer608]

I would kill for any of that equipment.

[@willross4125]

One year sale equals company fam transport 12months employment.interesting outstraightset.

[@brianluck84]

It's Ritchie bros Catalina wine mixer.

[@williamtynan6484]

Easy on those panning shots, hold the shot longer

[@aslater2727]

Been to Richie bros. Many a time. It's unreal the money flung around their

[@Roger_Rabbit_Adventures]

*there :-)

[@mattheww1530]

Used to work for RB I was yard guy it a cool job to stay the least but definitely see bunch of junk come through 😅

[@patrickwhelan5703]

Where does the bulk of the heavy equipment come from? I have always been interested in how it got there. Did a company finish the job and perhaps used it a lot and then the next job wouldn't require, say a Backhoe and then the company decides to sell..Do leasing companies sell older stuff here? Is the seller usually larger companies, leasing companies??

[@DTSupstateNY]

Really wow really really wow yeah yeah yeah sure really.: great interview

[@AaronWitt]

I’m a professional

[@hewpewdenbigh]

How on earth do they keep track of keys !

[@r3b3lxxleader]

From what I remember of the one in Dallas at least, most of the machines have the keys left in them.

[@shawndinterman2219]

After purchasing, how long do you have to find a trucker and get it off their lot?

[@Roger_Rabbit_Adventures]

thought it was like 30 days, but not really sure. Could be dependent on each individual site too

[@az2fladude]

They start pestering you to get it out of there after 2 weeks

[@DanielFerreira-gw7sj]

What lens are you shooting with while walking around with him?

[@mitchellbliss3828]

damn these guys probably sell several hundred million dollars of equipment in that week thats awesome. Their just auctioneers though and they have a huge lot they dont own any of that equipment

[@terrellscaife2411]

I’m jealous of your job

[@gordonrobertson137]

They get way too much money for this stuff. At least you're hanging in I mean

[@environmentlandscapeexcavation]

Do you guys know what model camera is he using to take the pictures??

[@AaronWitt]

Sony A7RIV

[@environmentlandscapeexcavation]

@@AaronWitt thanks man!!! 👍🏽

[@markbrandon7756]

RICHIE BROS is a great fun place to get a case of IRON FEVER and If You Scratch / Wipe Your Nose...... IT CAN COST YOU SOME MONEY on a LOT # ..... GREAT FUN at a Canadian Company..

[@santosbalbuena6323]

Literally just left the company yesterday in the sales department great company to work for. No competitor can reach the customers with the magnitude that RBA has. Have to sell for a top dollar? Contact RBA and be honest.

[@richardgurka5385]

We'll get out of your hair. funny

[@rp1645]

If you sit in the chairs as Equipment is rolling by. Unless you want to OWN it never move your hands.

[@WhiteoutIII]

You been to Richie in Chicago?

[@georgehoff8909]

Definitely better stuff on KZbin boys and girls.

[@bigdaddyrcp]

wheres the golf cart?

[@johannessamuelsson6578]

Are they auctioning a dragline? Cool. I wonder who would buy a dragline at auction 🤔. It's better to auction draglines than blowing them up or letting them stand in the wild.

[@Hereweareiguess]

Wtf this Mass Effect soundalike intro music?

[@schmidt028]

[@AaronWitt]
