Huge 10 day auction in Florida with all sorts of things, but deals for me were not one of them!

[@larryshillings6672]

Clint, I sold new and used equipment for 25 years out of Scott Truck & Tractor in Louisiana, to Gen. Contractors, Municipalities, Logging. I ended up the last 10 years or so working primarily with loggers. I started taking my dad with me and made him think he was helping me. Sometimes we would cook fish at the job site and sometimes in the winter months it would be Chili with all the trimmins. Sometimes he would talk about the good ol days. I said that to say this: You will never know how important that was until he's gone. Then you'll be glad you did. Larry Shillings of Shreveport, Louisiana.

[@philhunt9297]

Larry You're a great son and I bet you take after your dad. Unfortunately it takes 'age' [maturity] to realize that 'they' can be gone in a flash and most of us don't get to ask those questions or listen to their life and learn about who they were (before becoming your parent). Luckily and like you I got some of that time, some of the answers and some of his history.....but not all and not enough. Me...I try to tell the odd youngun, when I get the chance, go *talk* to your parents and ask them "Who are you?" Stay healthy, stay happy Larry All the best from Nottingham UK

[@raeanker3078]

Larry well put mate, we never realise what we have until it’s gone. When my Dad passed away I was having a few beer’s with some of his mates, some of the stories they told me about the things they all got up to had me in stitches laughing. The thing is it made me see him in a new light. I wished I would have talked to him about his younger years, but at least I got to hear their story’s. Cheers from down under.

[@alexmikhael5061]

@@philhunt9297 instead of ''who are you?'' as a question.... get out the video recording device, and say to the olderpeeps speically to get the stories not often told, recorded and told before it is too late and they take the story ALONG WITH THEM INTO MEMORYLAND/that which is more than just here&now..... at the family gathering say something like: ''____ tell me a story that don't get told often, or has ever been told, don't need to be SCANDIOULOUS or anything, just trying to get the stories LESS TOLD some storytellin'time ...... and GO....''

Advice my father once gave me: “Get a lot while you’re young!” It was just recently that I realized he was talking about real estate! With age there is wisdom…

[@Crewsy]

You definitely look back on the time spent with them. My Dad passed last September and remembering the time spent helps a lot. He had 100 acres of bush about 2 hours north of here and every year we would go and cut my firewood. For what I would get and what it took to get it, it wasn’t financially feasible to do it vs buying and having it dumped in my driveway. I always looked at it as time with him that I knew I’d value in the future.

[@geraldmcclintock2567]

He’s off base and unaware of where things are made in modern times. Very little of the “American” brands are assembled in the USA . Even fewer of the components are made in the USA. His Peoria Illinois comment is nonsense. Go to a CAT dealer . Just looked at a CAT 307.5 excavator and they are all made in china . John Deere is even less American . Only their largest tractors and combined are assembled here .

[@charlesroberts6965]

Always appreciate you taking us along to the auctions I learn what to look for and your always a wealth of information. Crazy that the dozers were going so high..but your a savvy business owner and know when to walk away. You know how many man hours and parts you may have and a unit and know what you need to get on the end product. My Dad taught me a true fundamental element to be successful in business you can't be by just swapping money...having the Napa stores we earned our living in wholesale a tougher way for sure...but we dominated the market by out serving the competition and you show those same values. Always appreciate you sharing your day with us.😎👨‍🔧🚜🇺🇸😇🙏🛠️

[@jz1340]

Caterpillar Limited Warranty1 covers the cost of parts and labor for 12 or 24 months or a specific number of operating hours for new Cat equipment and engines. Cat D6 and D6 XE dozers are manufactured exclusively in East Peoria, Ill., and Grenoble, France, along with other models in the medium dozer line. In the late 1920s that early Caterpillar gas powered model Ten and Twenty track-type tractors were working on sugar beet fields and vineyards across France. The D4D was the first track-type tractor produced in Brazilian territory, at a former facility in Santo Amaro city in 1969. Nowadays, the Piracicaba facility produces the models D6K, D6N, D6T and D8R. Piracicaba is also the sole source for the model D8T.

I would love to walk with you at these auctions because I see and hear myself trying to train equipment managers to have a plan how, what, when, and keep $$$$ the utmost thing in mind before buying. It just takes a boat load of experience to make the equipment flowing through your business.

[@maint1616]

Wow on some of the prices. Absolutely enjoy these videos. Wish I could understand the auctioneer better. Thanks for bringing us along Clint.

Ha, they also have that cheap export / import gate junk. Seems the auction houses are very keen on taking advantage of the buying frenzy to also include some junky stuff. Lots of 5 gallon shines going on too. Oh well, life at the auctions! Deals are still to be had if ya know what you're looking at!

[@JPaul60]

In lieu of a warranty and parts support for those French Cat dozers you get a five year supply of fresh croissants. It's fun just watching people bid on stuff at the auction and seeing some cool equipment. Thanks for taking us along.

Clint.... Those auctions are ALWAYS inteesting... Thanks.... Dave

[@MMESITEPREP]

I've had the honor twice now to tour the Cat dozer assembly plant and foundry in Peoria. The D6, D9, D10 and D11 are the only dozers manufactured in Peoria now. I'm not sure about the new D7. If I'm not mistaken the D8 is now manufactured in Brazil. Caterpillar has moved their world headquarters to Irving, Texas. They have significantly reduced the size of their footprint in Peoria. The hotel we stayed in was actually built on part of the original property. It's sad in a way. Thanks for the videos, I always enjoy. Mike Miller

[@dps67]

I remember as a kid, growing up near Peoria. Back then Cat was huge in Peoria/Morton area. It seems between the unions and nafta, it all went away...

I guess all things are relative, having run a D11T by Hitachi 3600’s for 15 years the equipment for auction seems so tiny. And this iron was dwarfed by the draglines and electric P&H 4100’s we worked around. The D11’s burned 400 gallons of fuel apiece in a 12 hour shift. Damn…….

Still didn’t see any Case 1845c’s… The transport cost of that 375 would probably be almost 1/2 of what they paid. That’s the type of machine that you buy to keep it at quarry or a sandpit where it will stay for its entire life.
