Lets get loaded and head home!!!

[@mrmikeyd2]

It's not just heavy equipment auctions Wade...I have lost at auto auctions, estate auctions, government auctions....basically every kind of auction I have ever bid in....won a few and got a bargain but few and far between.....and didn't always have your upbeat attitude but that is what makes you and your videos winners . Thanks for posting

[@banann64]

Well Tater we wish you well!. That’s a lot of work your right on them low boys !. But we know you’ll do a fine job. Long haul too . G-man was telling Me that every Peterbilt he’s ever had has damn play in the wheel it must be a Peterbilt thing. Only thing he hates about them. Motor easy trucker/ logger . 🙌🏽❤️🙏🏽

[@SledgeHammer43]

Wade the E logs were the final nail in the super trucker coffin. I said at that point I can make just as much at home as I could on the road.

[@bradleyselk9642]

I sold a 2016 peterbilt and went back to my old 87 379. The day they say i have to have a modern engine is the day i retire. All the elogs are are the mega carriers trying to put the little guys out of business.

[@kelvintorrence5994]

E logs suck i hate them.

[@letsdig18]

I always have a good time at auctions, Dont hardly buy anything but have a good time! LOL I like the lift truck BTW

[@jonschneck4559]

i have sold junk for way more than it was worth at riche brothers

[@Gen3tx]

That red trailer looked to be a good buy so Atleast you have that going for you

[@chadder19k]

You don’t give your self credit wade your one hell of a great fabricator!!! Love the vidjas

[@mattyc195]

The olé Peterbuilt looks and sounds great. Look at it this way, you got a new to you project.

[@lawrencelacenski9781]

Awesome video, listening to that caterpillar per climbing Mount Eagle brought back memories I’m about 10 years ago when I was driving and O2 Pete with a six NZ cranking 550 hp with 355 gears I puled mt eagle many a time.

[@justinweaver8787]

Glad you got ur trailers an comin home an don't worry bout the trailer u can fix it and once u rest alil an it's at shop with u u'll figure out just how to fix it u the smartest logger I know an dam if u not the busiest to logging repairs saw mill father and husband an son an friend I'd be in the nutt house tryn to remember everything that u do my hats off to u sir thank you for all u do an always making the most of what u got. Ur definitely a successful guy. Appreciate u sir thank you.

[@andrewcrosby8746]

Mount eagle is a pretty good climb and decent. We go around when we can, been a few trucks over the years that burn on that hill. I like that red lowboy you got, not to much wrong with it?

[@CMDSR]

We’ve been through WV, Tn, Ky, Oh, Ks, and Mo. while traveling from Virginia. We try to travel in early morning or late night. Over the last 10 years the rest areas and truck stops have been filling up with trucks. The last couple years it’s hard to find a place to park even a little ass 4 wheeler.I feel for all the OTR truckers.

[@OldVermontGuy]

Greetings from No VT - Wade, once you drop a 48" x 100' white oak tree across it on it on the up side you should be OK! Seriously, once you do the rehab it will be better than new and will give you service for many years so don't beat yourself up too much.

[@chuckdriver9672]

Hope the best for your project.... But dont think for a second you're the only one that's a sucker for a basket case....

[@greggb3079]

Hahaha...! Fred Sanford...? I have not heard that name in a hundred years. Used to watch that show with my mom & dad, that and "All in the family" we're there favorite's. Sir you have made my day, making me remember those times, thank you. I have seen your work, those trailers will be like new in no time. Great video. Look forward to the up coming videos of the work on those trailers. Thank you sir...

[@AveryExcavating]

There was an auction here in Northern Michigan on Dec 19th. 10 degrees, windy, snowy. Everything wen't a full price, place was packed. Lol - everyone was in full bibs/snowmobile suites haha - Auctions seem to be better for the sellers than buyers these days.

[@Tafs315]

Having fun with that comic book Truck driver HAHAHA. That book reminds me of when I ran 2 to 3 of them. My how times have changed in 30 yrs. Great JOB!. I really do like our channel and keep up the good work.

[@TheJimmybud]

That Weiler is a asphalt shuttle buggy , they are used on state jobs were speeds are over 45 mph so you can have a continous pull !

[@kerychesh9784]

Looking at your vedio. Kind of make me remember my carear last 2 years. Oolll i miss those turbo sound..

[@VintageFarm1086]

Thanks for the ride along Wage, I enjoyed all three videos. Don’t beat yourself up over the bent trailer, you will get it fixed and it will be better then new. Also it will make some good repair videos. Glad you had a safe trip.

[@1armedguy4]

A couple fella's with rosebuds and a fella on the cold water hose will do wonders, something to think about Wade !

[@Wolfhound.]

and maybe a few with the big log skidders pulling and pushing things be good as new

[@fulltiltgrading8366]

You’ve got some work ahead bud. I’ve never done well a auctions either. True statement you never find a deal out there in a sunny lot! 🌞

[@cntslesfabrication]

Mission complete. Translation El Copleto. You made me laugh so hard 😂. Glad you're home and safe with the family

[@NotJustaTool]

You know what you're doing. It is TOUGH to untwist those beams. Cut em out and over manipulate those webs. It's overcompensation, tack weld, and hope it sets straight. You got some work but it won't be as bad as you think. Cheers Wade! Good vidja!!!

[@ccrockett5358]

I just went by Ritchie Brothers on my way back down to Kansas City. Everything's looking pretty quiet now.

[@michaelmactavish1728]

what do you think of my buddys auction in kanasas he carrys everything

[@joedyer8824]

I got faith in ya Wade on gettin that trailer right after a good coat of paint she'll be like new. That is a long drive dang

[@adamgipson6151]

For us southern folks we hate climbing Monte Eagle. Have fun with the trailers.

[@clydeacor1911]

Looks like you got yourself some weekend work lined up anyway. My 98 Pete with a big Cat the fan doesn't even kick on until it hits 217 degrees. When I got it I took it to Cat to get reset because I thought that was a bit warm but they said nope that's where it runs best but when it kicks on the temperature sure drops fast.

[@davidhaley7053]

Great adventure there driver! I'll take a nap for ya!

[@steamfan7147]

I got to about 4-5 auctions a year and what I find is the better deals can be found at small auctions and estate auctions. The big sales just attract too much competition .

[@thomasdesmond2248]

Wade's clicking his heals like Dorathy. Saying there's no place like home. Lol God bless

[@amunderdog]

There was inadequate truck parking 20 years ago. Then they mandated long shut down periods. Glad I am out of it, and it hurts to think of the ones suffering thru this. Seen where many are fined for running out of hours in areas where there is nowhere to shutdown.

[@truckking6667]

I work at a tire shop and we do those forklift tires all the time

[@lilmeeks1]

Dat Cummins know it sounds good in the background at 5:24 shifting those gears!!

[@HuntGamingProductions]

[@robpeters5204]

So for an extra 10K, you could have bought a new unit and have no worries. There are lots of deals at the factory direct. Sometimes they have a new unit that was never sold (and of year) that you can get for a steal.

[@Pete-from-Tn]

I wish only one item I buy at auction,could turn out good enough to make junk. Just one time, always looks way better there. But get it home and its scrap iron. But on the bright side, that left turn signal was good.

[@riverrat2592]

Been over Mt. Eagle many of times driving a parking lot with a turned up C-15. Never had any problems.

[@_sinisterglance_3386]

Thank you for the ride. I loved it

[@timmyfrierson2684]

I’ll tell you up Wade that old Pete sounds good with them Jake brakes and looks good to. I bet y’all will be glad to get back home. Well y’all have a safe trip back home and as usual a great video brother

[@ericgriffin7495]

Another great vidja driver!! Glad you made it home, looking forward to the next vidja, kids the family and go to bed!! Wake up and spend the day away from work, hang out with mommy and the kids!! Be safe and God Bless!!!

[@73DiamondReo]

you've got your work cut out for you. looking forward to the videos on the repairs. Ill be looking for a lowboy soon for my personal use and probably buy something that needs some work unless im able to work a deal on one from the company i work for.

At the end of the day when trying to settle down after farming and running a feed business, there is nothing like a logger wade vidja to ease the tension and make me laugh.

[@mattphillips4260]

hopefully you dig into that trailer and it will do way different than what you are thinking and go for the better of ways it can go

[@flatbedhaulingwithscottn6111]

I had the same experience at Richie brothers. I bought a 55 ton drop deck . Like you said it was worth what I paid for it, but it wasn’t no big deal/discount lol. That was two years ago so this last one I bought at the dealership. It was one that was left over for the previous year. Got a good deal on it. It’s just the luck of the draw I guess lol.

[@wymershandymanservice9965]

Like the content, I remember a few years back running down there to pick up an auction buy for a friend and when we got there it was gone. Spent most of the day trying to find out what happened. My friend was furious and my laughter at the situation didn’t help. 👍

[@farmcentralohio]

Why was that situation funny? Stealing something is funny to you? You're a scum bag.

[@B422TMack]

Nice looking Trailer. I'm surprised you didn't go to Ritchie brothers in Nashville.

You should see the Ritchie Bros auction in Nisku ab. The sales 6 years ago absolutely dwarfed that.

[@bradledger3347]

Cool video been a long time since I did that kind of driving, had to laugh when you showed your " comic book " no name no date nothing but plenty of hrs to drive trucking use to be fun but with company's going with paper-less logs & e-logs they took all the fun out

I feel like it's already hard here in Australia to get something decent from auction even for motorbikes and cars so I would think it would be twice as hard when it comes to heavy equipment.

looks like you got a buy on the red trailer! you already have demonstrated that you definitely have the skills to fix the black one, just a matter of when you get the time too! thats just the luck of an auction, you know; sometimes you bite the dog, and sometimes the dog bites you!!!!! stay safe friend!!!!
