Three generations getting able to spend time together with a mutual interest is great. Enjoy the trip.

[@calendarbumb4037]

I love that Henry is learning while just hanging out with Dad and Gpa. He will not be fooled by the all-over paint job…

[@calendarbumb4037]

@@joeyhunter842 Perfect analogy… wouldn’t surprise me if Pete shared that with Henry too.

[@dougcorrigan9200]

Pete, it’s a skid steer concrete mixer. Designed for small pours like piers etc.

[@andy72xbox]

I knew once I saw it, but only because of Andrew Camrata having one.

[@wilhelmforsberg5267]

LOL - "Oh man, I wanna bring this home", Pete said about the fire truck. A kid at heart...

[@joebuchanan3808]

You are a lucky man Pete. Spending a day with your dad and son is priceless. 3 generations spending a day together doing something they all understand and like. A lucky man indeed.......THANK YOU FOR SHARING!

[@stevenshover9262]

Love seeing Henry in your videos.. you may not have bought anything, but you made memories with your family..

[@hyperdude54]

Can we appreciate the turnover rate of Pete getting this video out. This is a professional level. 👏

[@lambsquartersfarm]

Gotta love a good auction as a Farmer

[@jupitercyclops6521]

Good crowd at that one.

[@jupitercyclops6521]

I haven't been to an auction in about a decade. Picked up a small comercial walk behind mower for $35!!! It was rough , tires flat, they said it ran with starter fluid , but didn't start it. Gamble but it paid off. Cleaned carb , aired up tires & it still runs today! Win some & lose some! Watching this got my blood going.

[@michaelfreehling1914]

Pete you bought no equipment spent no money, put a smile on Hillary's face 🤗

[@rocket5557]

Reminds me when I was a much younger man. I would go to the livestock auctions often with no intention of seriously buying anything. But I would evaluate about everything with extremely watchful eye, then I would complain about how prices were too high, the quality of the stock, and others paying too much for something I never intended to buy! Very typical auction behavior. The best part was watching the girls and getting a bite to eat!

[@jupitercyclops6521]

& getting that occassional diamond in the rough!

[@markprior6009]

What a fantastic family bonding day, 3 generations all together sharing the same interests. Great episode Pete, Pete and Henry 💙💙💙

[@rolandpinette9946]

Wasting time, or making memories? Henry will know the answer, years from now.

[@jazko]

4:03 is a concrete mixer. Seems like fits a skidsteer

[@abunchofhicks]

Henry is growing up fast. I have many fond memories of going to farm auctions with my dad.

[@sarahwebb1568]

Haha I knew you had to be pulling our chains on a new tractor! It's the wrong color!!!

[@judyfisher3171]

Pete I roared when you said “waste of time tools” for the golf clubs. Good video.

[@Liz-M]

You nearly had me going there Pete when you said Henry may use it 😂👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@peterouellette3874]

Thanks for taking me along

[@martynbuzzing3327]

Had me fooled at first😂 but I think I knew you wouldn't entertain something that new..lol

[@MichaelAllanTorrey]

Hi Mr Larson, Pete and Henry. Thanks for bringing all of us to the auction. Especially liked your objective assessments of the items for sale, the sellers and the buyers. Have great week guys.

[@bobsandone3108]

That hopper with the auger going both ways was a concrete hopper used to pump concrete. A 4" or 6" hose connects to the bottom out of which comes the concrete.

[@JustaFewAcresFarm]

Makes perfect sense. Thank you.

[@pakviroti3616]

Mixer. There was no pump. Close the gate, add concrete and water. Mix, then dump.

[@greybear3090]

Pete I look forward to your videos. Never disappoint

[@dyslexicsheeple931]

So glad you were kidding about buying the new tractor. I love that you use and lovingly maintain your older ones. They have history behind them. Your father taught you and your teaching Henry about motor upkeep.

[@kingpin9733]

Hey Pete. I'm Dean. I just wanted to tell you, You favor your dad. Your son Henry favors his mom. I enjoy your videos. You have a nice family. Be safe.

[@TheTbenvick]

My dad always said he only ever went to auction for a bad cup of coffee, but sometimes came home with something that he didn't really need 😊

[@tanneradams20]

Your dad was right. It’s a concrete mixer.

[@HSHess]

That one piece of equipment was a concrete mixer for a skid steer. You could either use ready mix and transport it to the tight location, or use the teeth on top to bust open bags of cement and mix it up in the bin

[@b.neallee7042]

That is just fause advertising. 10 bucks worth of spray paint, saying full restoration, very clean, frame of paint job, clean as a whistle. That is just a bold face lie. The internet people can't feel that paint. You are right as rain. They should be ashame of themselves. Your work makes me want a tractor. Henry is like you, food man. Start on that truck for his first truck. You and he will never forget it. Your show is powerful. Bought my brother Hamilton 1939 art-deco solid gold 17 Jewel with ofcart. 36 mm buffer then my rolexes. Your dad is a gentleman. Neal Apollo beach FL.

[@ellisc.foleyjr9778]

Nice to see three generations enjoying the time together. trust me its a rare time and option. and you are blessed to have had it together. thanks for sharing Pete. that was fun! ECF

[@KC2DZB]

Auctioneers are such optimists! Thanks for taking us along Pete

[@vickiemeisinger9632]

I watched this video before, but I have to tell you, Pete, that I enjoyed it even more the second time!! You are so lucky to have your dad wish you still at this point in your life., Not to mention having your son enjoy the auctions with the two of you. I used to attend the farm auctions with my father and he didn’t matter if he was just a little Livestock auction or if it was a big farm oxen like this one, the time we spent together was priceless. Lotta people can’t get past the dirt on everything but I watched your videos enough to know that you’re going to take that front loader home and make it look really nice and work efficiently as well. I look forward to seeing that process. I want to thank you for taking the time to video, and I know you’re disappointed about not capturing them bidding for your front loader, but nonetheless, I enjoyed you walking around and talking about the value of different things, and what they sold for, as well as what parts were missing. The thing you don’t show that I love at an auction is the food… I always found auctions to have some of the best pies and sloppy Joe’s. Maybe next time we can get a shot of some of that good old-fashioned auction food plus the ladies are always so nice that the food booth. But maybe you guys don’t eat during the day at the auction. Me, I have my pie picked out within the hour and paid for even though I’m not gonna eat it for four or five hours. Working for an auctioneer was truly one of my favorite jobs❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️ the gentleman that owned the business was a kind, Christian man, and he and his wife became dear friends for life. Sadly, though, when my mother got cancer, I had to move to Iowa, and their business was in Kansas. He gave everyone there. Excuse they were wanting to quit the business, and I always felt bad about that. Because I know the gentleman that owned it really loved auctioning. But life goes on dislike some of this equipment here people buy it, and they create a new life for it, repairing it and repainting it like New!!!😊👍🏼 Thanks again Pete and Family for taking me along on your day trip to the auction. I’ll go anytime you go. By the way, does Hillary like auctions?

[@dellhell8842]

1:30 That's a lovely Ford 5000 with loader beside the Johnny Popper you're sitting on.

[@jimmyfarley3386]

I enjoy your channel and appreciate your jack of all trades and can do attitude. Don't change and please continue to do it all. Y'all are appreciated 😊

[@steveruby2120]

I had to laugh at the "waste of time tools" comment. I agree, I always called it pasture pool.

[@mobayguy]

The Suspense, the Drama, the Anticipation and Thrill ! It's a farm auction and it's fun😊 and I agree Pete... The hot dogs are the best part. Thanks for taking us along. Cool stuff 👍🏻

[@vickiemeisinger9632]

Are used to live in a small town north east of Wichita Kansas and I had the pleasure of working for an auctioneer; but prior to that, I remember standing all day at a Fabulous sale where things were going VERY HIGH…My grandmother had recently passed away and she was a Methodist and as a little girl I had sang songs with her in the garden while we pull the weeds and cut flowers and made bouquets together was such a special time and there was this leather messaged him know that was quite small, hand sewn (about 3 1/2“ x 5“ at the most) with faded gilded edges and lettering on the top and the thing I love the most was the obvious worn down curve on the Frack in the center call mom that represented years of wear and tear and love where a thumb print had been Pressed and Worn Down into the Leather!!..It gives a whole book a new character I expected the tiny little book to Sell for around $100 but I wanted it, in honor of my Grandmother. Finally, Claudine of the day they started putting things in boxes together and I’m like no I want that by itself and since I was friends with the auctioneer and his wife I sent a note up to the auctioneer to pose a little book out. That is a big mistake because il draws attention to the crowd & the item… luckily I was able to get the lovely leather book, “for only $45. Much to my surprise llama it was not songs but rather the Bible scriptures, But that was OK because later in life I realize that many of the song that we were seeing for me from the scripture. Grandma was such a great influence on me♥️😇

Just being together was a win. Nice day out and a sausage roll to boot, can’t go wrong. 🎅🏻

[@ronaldclemons5520]

Spending time with your dad, and son was well worth the day. Blessings🙂

[@keltonwright7]

That hopper with the auger is for loading seed drills with bags. Your dad is correct the spikes are to rip the bag, then there would a small auger under the hole that would go up and drop into the drill. Probably for used to mix in graphite or a soybean additive while is loading. Beats carrying all those bags up on top of the drill and cutting them.

[@1ltlbrnc]

I'm sure somebody already answered it, but that skid steer attachment with the auger to the middle was a cement mixer. Normally they have a hose. Come off the bottom so you can aim the mixed cement.

[@dalet6250]

Thanks for taking us along. Auctions are fun.

[@78jding]

I’d love to see a series about restoring the fire truck. That would be fun!! These auction videos are nostalgic, really remind me of going to farm auctions with my dad.

[@22video11]

Pete, that black bucket with the auger in the bottom looks like a cement mixer for a skid steer.

[@colettenewell4634]

That fire truck would have been a great project but where would you store it. It would have been interesting to see it fixed up but i doubt it could get done in a season like the tractors. Looks like you guys had a fun day at the auction. I wonder if Hillary was surprised you didn’t come home with anything

[@garlandhenry6792]

Gotta remember Pete PAINT SELLS 😁😁

[@frankrizzo3915]

Thanks for taking us along.

The word you're looking for is "soul" Pete. That New Holland has none whatsoever. I would rather have my 1942 Ford 2N than that one! Good to see you making quality memories with your dad and son. Till next time!

Thanks for taking us to the auction. I had a great time. Glad I wasn't there to buy that John Deere bulldozer.

[@TomSmith-me7ph]

Nothing like the old equipment, simple and effective.

[@cherylmillard2067]

Thank you, Pete, for taking us along on your auction excursions. 🤩

[@ryanevers7563]

This is a quality channel. Period.

[@jamesleesley]

People turn to farming for a reason. I think the reason people stay at home and buy at auctions through the internet is because they can't handle the stress and anxiety of being around a lot of people (and/or being at an auction because it can be chaotic). Pete, you know what I'm referring to because you find it peaceful being at your farm. Blessings. Thanks for sharing the video.

[@CaribouOrange]

All of those auction-goers glaring at Peter amuse me. It's something else; not even a trace of a smile. What a crowd!

[@wasjosh]

I imagine the first unidentified object could be a concrete mixer. Close the bottom hatch, add water + cement to mix (using the bag-breaker-opener thingy), then open the bottom when youre over the spot you want to start adding the concrete.

[@priceringo1756]

I did a spit take when you said you. bought that new tractor.

[@DeWittPotts]

Thanks for the video. Personally I would not have had any interest in the new equipment either. I would prefer the tractors that you run to any of the new stuff for a small farm. The problem with the new equipment is that it is like today's cars, most of the machine is controlled by electronics. When something goes wrong (and it will), it is most likely going to be with the electronics. On most new tractors like the John Deer's you are not allowed to work on them yourself. If you touch them then the warranty is voided. Also you can only get parts from the manufacturer which is expensive. The old International tractors were built to be worked on by the owners. As long as you can still get parts you are better off with the 'vintage' equipment.

[@Mtbambeno]

The bucket with the mixer and bag breaker is for mixing cement. Normally used with a skid steer.

[@Stratboy999]

A good day out. Sausage doesn't hurt either .

[@johnsmit5516]

It’s the simple things in life that make it worthwhile. Thanks Pete

[@juliar9454]

You tricked me Pete!! I enjoyed tagging along. Thank you.

[@bryanpearce4440]

I love looking at all the equipment. Thanks for bringing us along.

[@vickiephelps5169]

That stainless sink set up might have been a nice addition to the chicken production area. Speaking of, I would like to see your set up for that. Most people have no idea how much work goes into processing chicken, not to mention set up and then clean up when you are whipped. Maybe show us the basics and keep the red stuff off camera to appease the squeamish. 🙄🤣🤣

[@ntkp87]

After watching so many of your auction videos, I now can understand the auctioneers perfectly lol 😂

[@thomasgill2024]

Pete, someone else has probably said... That hopper is a concrete mixer attachment for a bobcat.

[@AuctionJunky]

Also that’s a skid steer attachment cement mixer at 4:20, and your dad is right! That’s for breaking bags open.

[@jerrycampbell6181]

Hey Pete, buy that old wood/coal stove !!! I'll pay for it ! My Dad had 3 Warm Morning stoves , he restored they were beautiful ! My brother and sister and I could have anything we wanted before the Auction, I Kick myself every winter because I didn't get 1 of those stove's !!! Thank you Pete another great video !!! GOD BLESS !!!

Saw the kid with the stick (sign) at 12:00. When I was a kid, I was a "stick boy" at the local auction. No sign on top...we used an old golf flag. Now I own my own auction company.

[@ChrisScibelli5586]

I agree and disagree on the new tractor. We have 4 Massey Fergusons 1957-1964. We have an 8N. And we have a Cub. I love them all, I love running them all,and I love working on them all. I don't plan on getting rid of any of them. But my grandfather almost died of heat stoke twice trying to cut hay in the summer heat. So when my dad turned 65 we bought a new MF with AC. My dad worked on our farm over 50 years and he deserves to be comfortable. I love old tractors but the new ones have their place.

Every Auction house has an auctioneer that can use his voice to rile the crowd to bid on something well beyond their means. I guess every mechanically inclined guy over 45 loves the action of an auction.

[@robertpirtle3638]

At the end. You got me . I was like no way ! What will he do with that . His farm isn’t big enough for that and it’s not your thing. I could see you getting a little Kubota with a loader. Just to do all the cleaning . My neighbor has one and it’s great. But not for the bigger stuff. It’s great for removing snow, cleaning the stalls and moving a little gravel/mulch around. They are awesome for that .
