My husband and I really enjoy watching your channel together. He loves messing around with "abandoned" vehicles and has drug home quite a few over the 30+ years of our marriage. I say as long as the bills are paid, he can bring home anything he wants. I think it's healthy for him to do it so I am happy with it.

In case you (ever) get a lighttower (still watching the video, so it's still a surprise for me), it's an absolute must to convert it to LED, that way you have a light tower + generator. Usually those things are made to just run the lights, plus maybe a small 120V machine, but if you convert it to LED, you suddenly have a big power surplus. You know how it goes: whenever you need power, you also need light, and whenever you need light, you often also could use power. It's simply the logical combination.

[@DieselCreek]

Good point!

[@ronaldheit196]

Plus LED's pretty much last for ever.

[@poppabear3664]

@@DieselCreek Before you get carried away on the lighting tower, check the output Hz, sometimes dedicated towers run at high Hz to “Enhance” lighting effect. Great vids Matt, look out for low flying missiles when you tell the missus what you’ve bought.

[@lutemule]

I worked for a company that was founded in 1890 and is still going today. They had and bought their own forklifts and frontend loaders and the such for over a hundred years. Those types of equipment would take tremendous amounts of maintenance time and would always crowd the shop so nothing else would get done. With out them, production machines would back up and shut down. So it was a back and forth which piece of equipment would get taken care of first. Finally the year 2000 came around and a thing called leasing arrived and "viola" when the equipment went south a tech would come in to service it with the contract that was with the lease. Result was the company never having to own and take of their equipment no more. That meant the mechanics could go to the floor and keep a well kept maintained productive plant.

2 minutes in that little Kubota is defiantly something that I would love to have where I live. When the foundation was being dug out for the house the were enough stones that we where able to build a 20 foot long and a 35 foot long stone wall with being 4 to 5 feet tall. You can not even dig a foot down with out hitting stones that range from being the size of your fist to being as big as 200 lbs bolder. Ground is so bad here that when they built the high way here in 1956. Some of the hills and to be blasted with TNT.

I bought a 410D at auction for $25,000 several years ago. It was one of the best purchases I ever made. I would not want the 410C as it is an older design. Lots of hours on that one in the video. I think the 410D was one of the best backhoe/loaders John Deere ever made. Don't get one without 4 wheel drive though.

[@Polecat54941]

That was surprisingly fun! I think you should get all of them and flip what you don't need :)

[@loloberry5932]

Buy them all!! Lol. The skid steer would probably be the most useful and practical. Maybe buy and flip the Chevy truck. The scissors lifts can be quite cheap and descent resale but the water damage could total them out but maybe do a flush of the hydraulics with diesel and clean up the electronics and put some dielectric grease on everything and they might work.

[@jerryb1234]

Either of the deuce1/2 would be nice, thanks for sharing.

[@Tinker001]

Should get both... When the wife starts up, point out that one is for her.

[@ZanderKaneUK]

A better tracked skid steer would up your productivity, the crane is kind of cool especially if you can have it quite on you mid way up a hill :) but I am a sucker for an excavator. The white service truck is intriguing, could be a flip project. The wheel loader, if it was cheap enough it, would be feasible to buy with the idea of it lasting maybe a few years to help terraform the farm before succumbing to the tin worm?

[@Jayf1981]

[@edkulk2777]

Now... you need to let us know how the pricing went on the several items that you spend significant time on. More of these videos would be fine with me. Thanks!

[@dfross87]

We have a light tower here that we scored cheap at an auction (by cheap I mean minimum bid -- $50 + fees). Not something we use much, but damn handy when you need it. Give the scissor lifts a miss. They both look like never a ending battle as each new problem rears its head. And if you just tear them down and fix them properly in the first place, you may as well have bought a better unit to start with. Chevy service truck could be worth a bid. Damn handy things to have around, as I have found (by good luck, not good planning). My bet for the #1 wife annoyer out of that lot is the same as yours: the Pettibone. Mind you, I don't think she will be happy with Santa bringing you ANY presents from Ritchie Bros.

[@DieselCreek]

That’s the kinda deal I’m looking for!!

[@dfross87]

@@DieselCreek I still reckon the two(ish) best auction/clearing sale deals we ever got were: 1) A dead ute with 3 way tipper tray for $1200 (tipper tray was worth $3k); then (18 months later) by chance found the ute only needed a $100 part to make it run again. By which time the plain tray I had put on it when I swapped the tipper tray onto mine had been swapped again -- for a service body! Just filled the drawers with spare odds and sods tools, and she's still puttering around today. 2a) Dad and pa went to an auction to buy some land from a neighbouring property that was being broken up. Discovered that the bit they wanted to buy included the house. A lick of paint and a little TLC had it looking schmick. 2b) Also included with that block were a few old farm sheds (most of which were barely standing, and were swiftly demolished). In the one decent shed, we found....a 10 cubic metre dump truck! Ended up getting that thrown in for free, because the estate they bought the land from wasn't interested in a 45 y.o. truck that had been up on blocks for 20+ years. Took me a couple of days' work to get the old girl going again, and she still gets a run occasionally.

[@dommm111]

The pick up, definitely

[@likeaboss860]

I used to think backhoes were antiquated but really alot of times there better than a mini ex like when we're working on the road it doesn't need to be put on a trailer it just drives to the next one. It's more stable than a mini excavator and has more power. Doesn't take much longer to set up if you push yourself along instead of turning around every time

[@CITYNEWSSUPPORT]

That old Caterpillar wheel loader looks like something Todd Hoffman would pay too much for :)

[@KristaMae]

You made my wife laugh out loud. That never happens.

[@alantorrance6153]

Could be a good buy. At 20.43 that cream coloured 2+2 truck with multi box rear section, 8 ft bed, service body, on a 35 hundred Chevy. Looks to be a reasonable buy, especially if it goes cheap enough. I don't know what sort of stuff you can haul in the rear, but space for driver + 3 pax (at least) is pretty good. 3.5 litre engine (I assume that is what 3500 is) should deliver adequate power for almost anything. Even if the engine does not last the miles hoped for, it seems replacement 2nd hand ones are available in plenty.

[@ChickenParm152]

Man and I thought Christmas shopping at the dump was fun!

[@DieselCreek]

Oh that is too, it’s right across the steer as well!!

[@nickslistm246]

Being a military green m35a2 cab and chassis run away. But that's just because I'm a military truck and trailer collector and an m35a2 is on my to buy list. If you do get the M35A2 keep your thumbs on the outside of the steering wheel. With no power steering, when these trucks are offroading the steering wheels will whip back and forth every violently in rutted ground. Seen a more than a couple guys end up with broken thumbs because of it. Merry Christmas Matt.

[@Hudson-1947]

My Dad used to tell me that you can go broke buying bargains. Never took his advice.

[@IR-nq4qv]

T’was bout a week before Christmas, When all thru the creek. Matt was all happy, for most of the week. He heard about the Richie auction, and shouted ., “Everything’s for sale!!! So he pleaded to his wife, but it was to no avail. On the day of the auction, he crept around like a mouse, He Tip-toed past his wife and then sneaked out of the house. The equipment was all lined up, with precision and care. Diesel Creek got wind of it..., and he soon will be there. When he arrived at the yard, he almost went insane, There were so many models and he called them by name. He got in a backhoe.., a Skid Steer....., ..., and an old rusty deuce, He said “ This thing don’t run..., and the steering feels loose. And what to his wandering eyes should appear, but a truck with a big stick , that went a 100 feet in the air. The auction came and went, it didn't take very long... The last words he heard was... Going Once, Going Twice.. GONE!!!! Be sure to tune in next week, to see what Matt bought... and if his wife turns on him, when she sees the junk he got.. Have a Merry Excavator and a Happy Skid Steer!

[@TF856]

My dad's John Deere 500 backhoe from the early 70s came from the factory with a special chain to hold those outriggers up like that. It was the perfect length with slip hooks on both ends to fit through the holes in the outrigger pads. There might have also been a hook on the boom to put that chain through to hold up all three. Don't you just love the way John Deere keeps changing their numbering system. My dad's John Deere backhoe from the '60s was a 3010. It had a swing motor instead of swing cylinders on the boom. The same as his detachable side shifting Massey Ferguson backhoe back in the sixties. I think most of his backhoes had mechanical parallel linkage on the loaders that I much much prefer over that instead of the crappy stupid design they put on tractors nowadays, except for the tool carrier models that you can still get with parallel linkage. Back in the '50s he also had an international backhoe that had mechanical parallel linkage on the front. I wish his Massey Ferguson skip loaders had that same parallel linkage. I have seen some pictures of John Deere AG tractors that also had parallel linkage on them. I can't stand tractors that change the bucket angle as it goes up and down. I also love tractors that have a heel on the bucket that makes it a lot easier for grading. I also love a tractor that have a two-stage clutch for doing PTO work. And I love mini excavators!
