Awesome Time Nothing like Operating Big Equipment 💪🏼

[@skycowboy_7391]

Yeah there is it’s called operating small equipment

[@toddhansen5072]

Chris on the mini reminded me of the tea cups at Disneyland! Lmao! 🤣

[@robertgnaly5170]

In

[@localcrew]

You have to be careful at those auctions. I was at one year’s ago and some guys were bidding like crazy on some worn-out mini excavators with shiny new paint and one of the guys I was chatting with said “That’s the most expensive paint those two will ever buy!” Words of wisdom, right there.

[@David-wu7jj]

You can put lipstick on a pig but its still a pig

[@jackmiles4443]

Mike, the Deere "High Speed " dozer.. would be great for snow removal. Lol

[@willctheroysolved6408]

That military rubber tire is a 830 scraper\dozer. I ran one in a diatamcious earth mine

[@ramjet7470]

Yep...830MB. I had one. It's basically a D9 on wheels pulling a scraper. They'll hang on a slope like you wouldn't believe.

[@davidnaudi2601]

Matt from Diesel creek would love that green tractor. I’m sure he could find a place for it. Enjoying your vids and catching up on some of your old stuff

[@alexmikhael5061]

something in my head was saying something about lightning and on a barge for dredging, for diggin not seriously percise things, like 3 feet down plus minus .5 feet! lol (accounting for wheel squishey lol) BUT something in my head says SOME THING about lightning not taking out the RIG AND BARGE but one will GO prolly if.... kinda thing? don't know the particulzrd and that was just the voices saying stuff again soo erh OHHHH I WINDER IF THEY MAKE A HEAD THAT USES THE HIGH FLOW HYDROCOLIOCS THAT RUNS A LITTLE HYDROLIKX POWERED WATER JET for thrust on the BARGE...?? you use ithat to TAKE THE BARGE WHERE YOU WANT IT, then change heads to the working head.... ;) hummmmm *I* HAVE IDEAS!!!

[@HootMaRoot]

That soil stabilisation is amazing been watching Charlie's channel for a few months now. Never thought you could do something like that on such a large

[@okiemale1589]

Nothing better than a little dirt in my coffee on a cold Oklahoma morning... Another awesome video... keep them coming... 😎👍

[@sonnyblazer5504]

Yeah, for real some BIG machines (checked out by 3 BIG guys) we all love to watch. I, for one, was happy to see you all have a break with a smile from your hard working videos we all love to watch. Glad all of you had fun and find a way to make it more often and thank you for taking US along!

[@dansevern3291]

Those "micro-mini-excavators" sounded like lawn mowers. Sometimes, going to auctions is entertaining, even if you don't buy anything.

[@HootMaRoot]

That's what my uncle does these days auctions are mainly for entertainment and meeting buyers and sellers he got to know over the years of buying and selling. Now he very occasionally buys something

[@toddcromwell]

nice to see DIRT BOSS making an appearance in the vid

[@Firecul]

When you were talking about the big dozers having poor visibility I was just thinking to myself. With them you don't *need* visibility, anything in front of you won't be there for long one way or another 😅

[@DirtPerfect]

Lol true

[@williamgibb5557]

I have seen foremen and bosses park where they shouldn't and suffer the error.

[@viseshseernam39]

you just crush them

[@thebosscatman7]

you get use to it i could take the blade on my D10 and place it on a half inch wide by one and a half inch long wood hub and check in my EL on my GPS by my self.

[@Sunpetal4ev]

Window shopping XL. LOVE IT

[@johnJones_]

JEFF ANDERSON CONGRATULATIONS

[@FeralPreacher]

From '03 to '06 I long hauled a lot of junk out of Richie Bros in Ft Worth, TX. Lots of help to load and then you were totally on your own to transport and unload. Not so fond memories. Thanks for sharing.

[@BlueDually4x4]

I like how you went from the biggest excavators to go kart excavators. I am learning that the machines without good paint are usually in better shape than the ones with good paint. That and Ritichie Brothers sells a lot of scrap.

[@heatherlane9270]

Seemed like a happy relaxing day playing with all the toys. There is something in the saying 'one man's junk is another man' treasure' - some was just past its use bye date. Copperhead Marine's (Charlie's) project is an absolute beauty. Thanks for the tour.

[@randyclyde4939]

Who doesn't love an auction? Great fun, thanks! Be well, be safe!

[@thomasleonard1846]

Lots of toys!

[@mikemclawhorn2699]

You guys are having way too much fun. Love the vids. Keep them coming.

[@DirtPerfect]

Thanks

[@peewee.3138]

You have the Big Boy toys at the front , and then the Land of the Misfit toys at the back!

[@clayseale]

Glad y'all showed the Diesel Creek side of things!

[@leoncolyer9420]

Hay DP you need to get "little DP" one of those mini diggers for his next birthday 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@Thecowboy1950]

Yep getting the little boy a digging

[@travismarett7100]

I can't wait to see your at home built set up for soil stabilization. I've been watching Charlie's videos for years. I've thought to myself a few times about how to scale that down to a more manageable size for steep driveway work.

[@craigrasnic4178]

The 800 kamatsu would be a perfect match for your new haul truck. Imagine how much dirt you could move with both of them

[@KirtH27]

Just think how many views that would get on Facebook! We are talking viral!

[@KB-gs8zi]

Hey Mike // Chris & Mike !! Great video of Richie Bros. !!! Everything you need to finish "LT. Dan "" !! HAHA With Charlie's project ,think he said it would take at least 1 yr to complete & with looking at the swamp they are in ,can well understand why it would take take long if NOT longer !! Have a good trip back home & ""STAY SAFE ""!!

[@Crewsy]

I’ve been to a few Ritchie Brothers auctions over the years here in Ontario and never knew how big they actually are until seeing them in your videos. Those micro mini excavators looked like they should be mounted on a pedestal in a playground but they would still be better than a hand shovel.

[@michaelmactavish4445]

yeah my buddy richard ritchie and his brother lives in N.ova scotia and they have alot of locations for there auctions

[@GARDENER42]

They call them hydraulic teaspoons here in the UK.

[@KB66]

I've never purchased equipment nor am i ever likely too. However, watching the recent series of auction vids from Letsdig, C&C Equipment and yourself... I have convinced myself I would make a fantastic buyer. Thanks for the effort you all put into these.

[@DirtPerfect]

Lol thanks

[@KB66]

@@DirtPerfect Welcome. looking forward to haul truck vids

[@jz1340]

Liebherr....pricey but very well build. Super long life.

[@terryhaller3718]

I drove a truck just like that last one you looked at while in the Army in Vietnam, they will carry any load you can think of..

[@TheGingerGenius78]

There are some Gems there and some highly polished Turds 🤣👍👍

[@bradlewellen7461]

The micro mini looked perfect for Gunner

[@Vickie-Bligh]

I like these crossover vids with Chris & you. You teach a lot doing these.

[@DirtPerfect]

Thanks

[@billwilliams9527]

Ahhh, Ritchey Bros land Interstate 4 welcomes you.

[@richardbowles7690]

Lt. Dan just txted about you looking at the Army truck . . . "What is he doing?"

[@chosen1one930]

I like the looks of the 375

[@vaughnhill3437]

Chris you need one of those bay excavators. Those little drain catch ponds would thank you. Atleast when your loading the big bucket on the skid steer your uncle could keep up

[@johnhicks9529]

That's A skidder.& forklift for yard.& dock loading.& unloading.& it has A spot for the lull lift accessible.& etc.

[@scottshugdinis2660]

That was a very entertaining video. I really liked that you included the Dirt Boss too! The extra commentary, and my favorite. Guess what this creature this is, had me laughing. I enjoyed the comments like - it's a paint job away from 100 grand, to a sun drenched Kubota going from Kubota orange to breast cancer awareness pink. Keep these coming. Better than any sitcom on TV! Thanks.

[@terryrogers1025]

Thanks for the ride along.

I see those high speed dozers a lot on highway jobs. Seen a couple on pipelines doing back fill

[@chrishelms1967]

Awsome see all these machines......well almost all

[@deezelfairy]

That old military rubber tyred cat was an 830M scraper, missing its scraper box of course.

Operators my rear end. Lol God bless

Sing y'all tow on the mini mini excavators made me wonder if the circus was in town lol everybody needs a mini mini

[@LordMuck]

I had to laugh when you messaged me thinking I was at the Florida sale when I was at the one in England ! Anyway I managed to video me messing with the CAT rock truck 😉

[@DirtPerfect]

Lol 😝

[@kevinpoore5626]

You know what all of y'all have way too much dang fun and I mean all three of y'all DP let's dig 18 and the dirt boss I wish I could have that much fun and get paid for it LOL

[@stevesmith-wc2gb]

I’m a big sunbelt rentals equipment fan

[@bradleytarr7702]

The big green rubber tired tractor was used to pull a scraper, and I think sometimes a water tank. They used to have some in a landfill I frequented.

[@chadgodfrey4364]

Good video DP with Chris just hanging out having some fun

[@neebleweefer]

That old green tractor looks to be an old Clark 290? Usually hooked to a scraper. Father's friend has one and still runs it.

[@yenerm114]

🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘 like kids in a candy store , good thing you’ve been saving your allowance 😉 😝

[@rp1645]

The 6 wheeled JD excavator, saw one the the Air force had in there Maintenance yard. I think those were for convoy use with front line troops to repair bomb crater in a runway. The Military used them. The big green 4 wheeler with blade on front. At one time it had a scraper rear for Military use, I believe. Those Richey Brothers yards are huge. Thanks for sharing.

[@DirtPerfect]

Interesting

[@brucehuff5566]

Looked like a great day shopping. Stay safe

[@bobjoncas2814]

...fun with the boys...lol..good one, keep safe...

[@bobbrinkerhoff3592]

I see that someone found the slot to put the quarter into those micro mini excavators , and here you thought you left the kids at home ,lol !

[@michaelmoore2202]

Those minis look like the rides at K-Mart!

[@TheWolfster001]

That was fun & very entertaining.. Thank you for sharing..

Great to see you guys all together, the auction video's are awesome

[@DirtPerfect]

Thanks

[@bud1014]

At 20:27 .... That d8 has better tracks than the one I'm running now at the airport.

[@stevesmith-wc2gb]

I love that liebherr long reach just needs to be painted to go with the place it come from

[@jimhanifer1177]

I believe that was 8:30 pull pan and the second thing was a 920 semi that would pull lowboys I actually ran the 9:20 when I was in and we had m290s pool pans they would run up to 45 miles an hour you at the tractor and then you hook onto a pan that was the gooseneck that you guys were looking at enjoy the video 🚜🇺🇸

[@David-wu7jj]

Been to Ritchie bros in Maryland couple of times, they the farm auctions they hold out west are huge

[@willardnicholson8026]

Awesome video

[@DirtPerfect]

Thanks!

[@hollandduck79]

from the Netherlands thanks for the video DP

[@neilopfer5687]

I always thought the same as that John Deere 764 was a great idea. In talking to the Deere people at trade shows, that unit came out about the time the housing market tanked and then took so long to recover. The JD 764 was targeted at that market of doing the job of both a grader and a dozer on residential development. As to those large dozers such as CAT, Komatsu, or Liebherr, they just keep getting rebuilt. Saw a D11 advertised this last summer by Kiewit that had 75,000 hours on it!! Don't know how many times Kiewit rebuilt that D11 but that's a lot of use. Thanks as always DP for the great videos!! Always look forward every year and appreciate the auction vids with you and letsdig18 and the gang!!

[@larryshumakerhihvv5294]

Mike I think you ought to buy one

[@mismas81]

Those new LinkBelts are really looking good.

[@ko9446]

Chris and Sany, one of the best videos out there.

[@kramnoslaw4474]

When they straightened 92 west couple yrs ago they had a couple 375s an 6 or 8 D 8 Ts

[@apollorobb]

Chris has got your time line figured out lol

[@dans_Learning_Curve]

Did you find Matt from Diesel Creek in the inoperable section? His specialty! LoL 😂😆 And does a great job!

[@DirtPerfect]

Lol no

[@dirtguy6537]

That was a scraper tractor army stuff.

[@michaelmullins1290]

I can't wait till October! Lol. That Chris is funny. Don't ya think. I wish they had raced the mini excavators. Hilarious.

[@mikethorntonr1]

Yeah the speed dozer does a little over 20mph and plows snow better than anything else out does big tractors and loaders like you wouldn't believe and grade as good as a grader you can add top con and grade to millimeters on it

[@calebsimth4562]

Congratulations on 120k subscribers

[@DirtPerfect]

Thanks

[@mikeataylor006]

If you never had the pleasure of running a long stick they are fun and I was very surprised how quick you can adjust to grading 50 ft away and loading trucks takes a minute we rent one to do our pond basin conversions when we can't put machines in them

[@joedirt9600]

Anything at those places is one step away from the scrap yard. Basically a huge parts store, all you're buying is a bucket of bolts.

[@DirtPerfect]

So confused have made many awesome perches from there

[@stevesmith-wc2gb]

I’m seeing several things from sunbelt rentals

[@Lracer61]

I really enjoy your guys auction videos. Great work!

[@DirtPerfect]

Thanks

[@matthutch4216]

The high-speed dozer reminds me of the riding mower in forest gump haha

[@steves9915]

So Chris wanted to buy the blue mini but AMI said they don't offer a thumb for it but they have a little finger that will work! I was waiting for you 3 to have a mini battle and the last one still upright wins! Cool video with interesting information.

[@jamesdiehl8690]

Now you're talking! The big toys!

[@richardclay7574]

DP, I know you guys went to Florida because of winter but I live 4-miles from a Ritchie Brothers if you’re looking for something I can look around on my days off save some trucking miles even know some guy’s local that haul

[@DirtPerfect]

10/4 appreciate that

[@jackston3247]

Makes me giggle a bit. 13 000 hours is brand new where i work. Volvo L110F that i use have 38 000 hours atm :D

[@kasnitch]

The visibility in that tracked Deere is excellent . That unit would probably be good at snow clearing parking lots . I have to hand it to operators who can run large equipment with shitty visibility on their blades .

[@danielj2839]

The 690 John Deere is USAF, for the the Engineers to get down the runway to fix Carter's from missle attack. The wheels are about 1 .mph faster than track's. It's a product of the Cold WAR.

If theres an issue with the Komatsu 375 dozers it's the live blade. We found them hard to do final trim work
