Komtasu, God Bless You!! You said exhaust was 5hp, I was thinking it was worth 500 comments!

[@robertzacherl885]

I’m going back 😮

[@egomaniac247]

Love seeing a father & son spending time together like this. These are the times he will remember you by.

[@pmiller7886]

Gunner is likely at my favorite age as a kid, dad has the greatest toys ever and is a huge hero to him. Life is just super cool and full of wonder and new experiences. No idea what a bill is, or a tax payment or any of the garbage that poisons a guys life. I hope he really enjoys himself going exploring with his dad. My dad and I went to equipment auctions exactly like you and Gunner, oddly enough I still own and use the tools we bought in the early early 70s sitting in my shop. Memories for sure.

[@robertlacour8338]

Good morning gentlemen! Good to see father son time with both your boys. Not surprised on the purchases because you like projects and saving money. Thanks again!!!!!!!

[@joshuamassie3505]

Gunner- "So I can dump Aaron out of it." 😂😂😂 I lost it. Poor MBTS can't catch a break.

[@rp1645]

Thank you for going to the Sales yard. I will speak on the ( JD-570-A ) grader. Hauled one for a paving company for a few years. My first load up I drove it on tilt trailer forward. BAD move on my BAD. The trailer fishtailing all the way down the Road. I put Diesel in the Hydraulic flud tank. But the thing about JD dozers & Graders of that time period. The ("T") Handle tilted control lever. In the Grader it control both sides of mold board. I bet when they came out. That control lever was so far ahead of its time. Cat and other brands had the TWO levera on each side of steering wheel. Did not run the grader to much, that was the owners job. I did get to run (450s) JD dozers. That T handle was so good 😊😊

[@terryrogers1025]

Mostly junk, but, father son time-- priceless, worth more than anything a person could have. Thanks for the tour sir, enjoyed it.

[@brucehuff5566]

Looked like a great time with Gunner. Can't wait to see the new projects. Stay safe

[@clarencewiles963]

It looks like everything needs a seat 💺 Have a great New Year 😊

[@paulcooper9135]

Auction yards with a kid is always fun! Thanks for sharing 🇨🇦

[@swamprat69er]

The Mack with the rusty box...Those are lightening holes. The lighter the truck the more you can payload.

[@workinonitsteve]

Awesome seeing you take gunner to the sale. My boys love going with me and seeing all the iron.

[@DeweyCheatumNHoweLLC]

Mike, I loved the comment on the D7 living out it's life on a farm. I pass by a farm every day, they bought a Drott excavator a few years back, to dig the foundation for a new house. They used it for that project, then parked it by the hot house. The cab on it has a definite list to the left. Hasn't been run in probably 2 years, and I doubt if it ever will again. Happy New Years.

[@philmccormack6925]

That truck that you said they threw the paint at, here in Perth, the used car dealer term is, It's Had A Dulux Tune Up. Deluxe makes most of the auto paint here. The last G.M.Holden dealership I worked at, we had a "mint" HX Ute, sorry, pick up, until it went on the two poster hoist Pads sat on the jacking points okay, until the hoist was raised. Then a horrible cracking sound, as the body filler busted, then ever so many crushed steel beer cans came tumbling out. Before it was on the hoist, you couldn't tell it had filler by looking at it.

[@stevencroon]

Good morning all enjoy the show and have a gr😀😀😀rat day!!

[@bishopcorva]

Yeah that customized case backhoe, looks like a hunting camp special to me. More that one in particular looks and probably runs much better than the one we had at our camp back in the day. Every function worked, at some point in time. Without needing to disconnect retention chains for out riggers or the boom. Sure the bucket had multiple cutting surfaces and extra reinforcement plates haphazardly welded on. Style points for originality. The ex-plow truck that might be a parts truck for some little bits. If the engine is goid then it wouldn't be absolutely terrible just for that if you were looking for a rebuildable core. Tires possible for a yard truck maybe. Rest if it just chop it up and melt it down. The power broom though. Those are items that look at first only useful in narrow situations. Then you use it, find out if you can hover it a few inches above your grass, fantastic at moving a lot of wet leaves. A bit lower gets heavy thatch out of grass. Pavement cleaning is always a thing. Little rocks, tiny bolts and junk on pavement, work out a deal with a paint and window glass shop. Drum up customers.

[@erikcourtney1834]

The case backhoe had a knife blade master disconnect on the battery.We have the same exact one on our loader. It may not have been dead. But it was junk regardless.

[@crodoutdoors]

On the d7, the old d6 my step-dad bought for the farm has a battery switch on the right side next to the seat.

[@erikcourtney1834]

You can plainly see the disconnect switch is open on the negative battery terminal. It’s right beside his right leg when seated.

[@cathiwim]

On that D series Deere, i’ll bet it’s the foam seats they use- as they outgas, it smell’s like roses, instead of sweaty(farty) operators! Lol

[@dansevern3291]

Wow. QA backing plates have gone up! Remember buying one for less than $100 just a few years ago. People go nuts at auctions. Thanks for the entertainment!

[@python3574]

Not only more expensive but probably thinner steel as well.

[@B717virtual_pilot]

Thank you DP!! Hope you, the Fam and the DP Fam have a Happy, Healthy and prosperous New Year!!!

[@garydillon3960]

Great tour with You and Gunter. This is something he'll never forget. God Bless You Alll.

[@fransinyard891]

Good morning sunshine! Love how Gunner enjoys the machines! Much love from Henderson Ga USA

[@johncook3817]

Interesting video. I love going to the auctions especially agricultural and industrial machinery. I'm a massey ferguson nut and really like old mf industrial machinery. I have an mf 40 and 50 digger and an old mf400 crawler. A bit of an old tank but fun when I get it going.

[@FASDND]

we had a cat that was cable not hydraulic. someone tried to start it without using the pony motor, and it blew a hole in the block you could stick your head into. it was older than I am. my uncle could run that thing like he was cutting butter with a knife.

[@MrJimsparky]

Link Belt is Sumitomo America Company. Case 13t + are rebranded sumitomo machines

[@Andy-ix2ox]

Yup you are right, this is a scrap auction, we call them by the tonne auction because most things make less than their scrap value.

[@kevinkenyon7045]

Mike Gunner and Aaron great video! Thanks for sharing! Kevin

[@DeeDeeKrug]

Great to see father and son time. Poor man behind the scene will be looking up to Gunner in a few years.

[@Crewsy]

@ 12:25 That’s the type of backhoe I’ve operated. 3 sticks and foot pedals.

[@SammyLovett]

Gunner needs one of those little mini excavators. Go ahead and get him started. You’ll have gold fish ponds in the yard lol

[@CowHouse281]

A grapple rake for a skid steer is way more useful than a regular rake. You’ll have to use it to understand the difference. Just make sure the teeth spacing is at least 7 inches.

[@azwrenchmaster5334]

I was yelling at the screen when you were looking at the little grader. " The starter is missing!!!". But for some reason you didn't hear me. Haha

[@johnbeck9997]

He climbed in that skid steer like he was a veteran.

[@heatherlane9270]

Gunner is becoming more educated about the industry and enjoys this time learning with Dad. And you found something - so that was a good visit.

[@chrisbartrum3201]

Listen to your boy, DP. If the footprint's the same but that one goes 'higher' it's not the same size, lol. Thanks for a slice of your world over there across the pond. Happy new year to you all.

[@georgeenriquez612]

Can’t wait for these future winter shop projects videos. I always enjoy these auctions videos with little Gunner. I still remember seeing last years action video around this same time with Gunner. Happy new year Mike!

[@woodpurposedmechanic8299]

Love the comment about the smell of the one excavator. For me it was always BMW's that had a particular smell. I always wondered what it was. About 10 years ago I bought a used Hyundai Santa Fe that smelled the same.

[@SLCFarms]

Cant wait for the upcoming projects.

[@travismiller1981]

Enjoyed seeing an old 225 cat excavator. That’s what I learned on. Wish I could find a refurbished one!

[@philhammond5908]

That forestry mulcher is a capn kleeman special !

[@Machinist1755]

Can't wait for the projects. Happy things you wanted went for good prices.

[@everestyeti]

Looking forward to that project, poor Gunner just make him some shoes so he can use the 850 and he'll be happy as larry. 🤣👍

[@brianherron5400]

Thanks for taking us with you guys.

[@DaleDirt]

I love auctions , Thanks for letting us go with you .

[@leeshaver7825]

I say you should go ahead and get him the tire then you can roll him down the hill and when he gets older he can look back on it and think to himself those were Goodyears

[@merlepatterson]

That rotator dump Terex would be perfect for delivering rip-rap to pond dam over flows and spill ways.

[@donnyhudgins1917]

I was just doing some ditch work on a local farmers D7G yesterday. New undercarriage on the one I was running yesterday but it needs some work in other areas.

[@ColeMartin-p5e]

Do you remember what the laser grader for the Skid steer went for the yellow one in the beginning?

[@OneStepHomestead]

only ran a d6 with a semi u blade building roads..... loved it and my boss and coworker/mentor claimed I was good. and I pushed snowbanks with a 450jd with 6-way blade. felt at home on both but looking at those rock sniffer kamatsus..... makes me wonder if they lack power like sidewalk sniffer Freightliner

[@thebear5454]

So typical of auctions...lots of junk, a few good pieces but if you don't know your equipment you will get burned. Thanks for the tour Mike & Gunner.

[@TheRealMrDiGG]

Hate I missed that auction, I love buying stuff I don't need!!

[@tbix1963]

Thanks for sharing your thoughts, ideas and videos. Great to see Gunner out with you looking at auction items. Looking forward to seeing where your purchase’s end up. Wishing you, your family and friends the best.

[@lancejohnson16]

The diamond in the rough backhoe has kind of a Captain Kleeman thing going on!

[@ChrisHarding-lk3jj]

Did you see how much that genie runabout man lift went for? I think it's a gr-20. I wouldn't mind getting another one, I currently have a gr-26j.

[@DirtPerfect]

I do not sorry

[@kirk467]

Gunner is pretty smart dad, he’s learning a lot!

[@python3574]

A Dirt Perfect "Diamond in the Rough" would qualify as a Kleeman "New Old Stock"....lol.

[@LatitudeSky]

"I don't think you ride it. I think you just chase it around!" is the best description I've heard yet for all these walk-behinds. And also why I don’t care much for them.

[@baseball4697]

Outstanding that you give your employees this week off PAID. Merry Christmas. Wishing you all the best in the year to come.

[@hiscifi2986]

You can get a Cat D10 with adjustable pedals...!😀😀

[@cyndikarp3368]

Well Done. Got what you needed for a good price. That's all one can ask for at an auction.

[@cathiwim]

At 30:00 that’s what i am needing!and i can reach the pedals!

That Grove crane is for rough terrain but it only lofts 30,000lbs

[@samgiles410]

Definitely got some new projects now

[@benjaminfunk2394]

Near the end after you made your last purchase you were talking to Aaron you were talking with your hands ,I was saying look what you just bought .

[@dennis2376]

Thank you have good week.

[@michaeldurling793]

Ya sure titled this correctly, glad ya got what you needed, is it a root rake build in our future?

[@rockman531]

Howdy Mr. Dirt, "Future projects" ??? There goes the neighborhood!! :) Thumbs up! Stay dry! Jim

[@AkAv8er]

Yup. Junk sale. Good opportunity to pick up some spare parts or a few things intended for very limited use.

[@nrth-ng9sm]

That case backhoe the old one the battery wasn't flipped on

[@DirtPerfect]

We tried it

[@wayne3325]

Skid pro makes one nice rake also.

[@mischef18]

These auctions make for great viewing bro especially when you have a "lets buy this" with you bro. Safe travels Ken.

[@kevink4914]

Very true on jcb I love the whole design of with door and everything else. Just they have a little gremlin on the electrical with the controls they need to prefect on. I will say I would trust the jcb over the Kabota that engine keeps blowing up 💁‍♂️ watch and follow a few farmers and a 100 hours done engine left the chat

[@DconBlueZ]

Thanks for the video, I usually learn something and always enjoy watching!

[@robertwinton2649]

End of the year video by Chris let's dig 18 u will love it

[@rugerfarming5387]

on that John deere 4840 you dont see to many with rice and cane tires on them anymore in my area aleast.

[@johnwarren-649]

That sweeper would be handy for few projects. But im sure you have a plan where it'll make you a few dollars

[@OneStepHomestead]

ya, pto aside.... those industrial tractors are heavy and sink easy yet the extra wait does no good to get full loader potential. nothing like a full backhoe. stay away of even damp land

[@Jammer.1]

That salt truck was held together by a wish & dreams it made a sale !

[@philipfell4292]

Looks like a few Diesel Creek specials there.

[@larsdaun1518]

You and Aron have to think out a way to make the pedals on a dozer so that Gunner can start driving one. He is really in the mood for that.

[@hornconstruction1393]

gunner might be taller lol

[@johnrobichaud130]

Easy build up the soles of gunners boots so he's taller

[@colinhayward9184]

Weld pedals up the turning stick and a seat back cushion

[@jacksonpruitt7729]

You mean excavator, a dozer uses a joystick to move around an excavator uses pedals to move around

[@BlueDually4x4]

Shame about that WorkStar dump truck, those trucks are nice. That blue semi didn't look too bad and neither did that WhiteGMC. Between Diesel Creek, C&C and your auction videos I am so glad I don't live in the rust belt; dang near brings a tear to my eye to see so much equipment rusted away so soon.

[@ronpeacock9939]

Appears like a good auction.. except for the buckets.. Oh well.. The annual Florida auctions are coming... Though I will say, I saw quite a bit that might have interested your Friend in PA.. He loves the in-op..

[@studiosoftmorecambe6879]

Thanks for the insight - your thoughts and experience are invaluable for those of us who don't have a clue about machines - what a great video and different from your usual content. Good to know you are looking out for items for your friends. If I could just ask after the auctions, you could go through what you bought and what you were willing to pay for the items.

[@Denis-tu1pd]

Awesome video and nice to see that you went home with some of the things you needed. Can't wait to see your projects. Denis from Santa Rosa CA

How much did the pipe clamp sell for? What thickness was the metal on the quick attach plates you picked up?

[@erneumann3136]

Cat 225 Ds might be the best excavators ever built. Some came equipped with a 3-pump system turn up the pumps a bit they can be as fast as a new machine, no computers to fail. :)

[@kylel5801]

Push both the forward and reverse pedal down at the same time and the drive pumps go too the boom for insane lifting power. Broke a few sticks on our old 235

[@kevink4914]

I will say the same on I have never seen the hydraulic line off the end of a cylinder before huh different for sure.
