Had to watch because you 'hang' with good people: DIRT PERFECT, DIRT BOSS, letsdig18 along with others! LEARNING experience to Watch & See what you have to say especially when the DOLLARS are rolling high! I've been SUB'D to you months ago when DP bought the 'GREEN MACHINE'! Carry on!
Clint, thx 4 taking us along. From yur hands-on +repair experience yor verbal comments are a good education for us viewers. Amazing how quickly u analyze those dozers. Hope you find a few 2yur liking. 👍👍👍🧑🔧😊🚜
That old link belt crane brought back some memories. Dad decided to by a travel lift back in the day when that concept was new, so he first had to bring in a link belt speeder crane to assemble the travel lift and also build the dock for the travel lift to go out on and lift boats. That's what they called the "Good old days".
I live far enough away so this praise is just praise it’s not trying to butter you up for any reason you are a wealth of knowledge is interesting to listen to you and want to point out the bad and the good thank you for the videos 😁😂👍
Man the pure knowledge you have and explain things is so awesome. I love when you go into details about stuff. We all learn a lot, keep up the awesome videos man!
I like auction videos and do have to say Clint does the best because hes evaluating every piece and telling what are ones to buy and more importantly the ones not too
Enjoyed the the auction video today fro Richie Brothers - some years up - some down Glad to hear your tips on equipment wear! Still a little Leary of direct drive stopping vs torque converter stopping-. Keep up the great work - from somewheres in SWMO!!
Really appreciate how you include us in how the decision making process works. The more you evaluate and explain things about how and why one might be worth bidding on and another not the more I feel my time was well spent visiting with you. Thank you for sharing your insights.
Always like to see an auction on viewing day - especially with a couple of knowledgeable genuine buyers. Hey, I can remember little draglines like that running on steam!
I will watch every auction video you post, especially with the commentary on items of note to look for (i.e., wear parts, points, structural etc.,) on various types of equipment. Waiting for that grader walk around… Thank you sir.
The mechanics in our Case backhoe shop would use a hydraulic handpump (or porta power) plumbed into to zirk hole to put pressurized oil to break through dirt and rust clogging the bearing channels. Worked pretty well with the oil able to penetrate better than grease.
I have learned so much from your auction videos. Its very helpful and informative how you explain what you are looking for when checking a machine out.
those highspeed dozers are great at the grain elevators on the silage piles its nice to have high travel speed for less pushing power when you have to travel all over the site
Clint you and your dad were doing fine…….everything went downhill when those 3 hoodlums arrived on the scene!! Be careful of your association!! LOL 😂🤣🤣😂 Thanks for sharing your videos!
Clint really enjoyed the auction videos. It was fun to see you mixing with DP and let’s dig 18. You are a fountain of info. Really like that. Enjoyed your pod cast also.
Like theses videos your videos are awesome I work in logging sure nice to see all the different types of machines from Aroostook county Maine so not much of the pipelaying stuff thanks for the video
We had a highway project in SE wisconsin and they basically used quad tracks pulling scrapper pans and some of those high speed dozers to move most of the material.
I've never have seen a tall circular bucket wheel for trenching. My Uncle owned a 100' tall bucket wheel and kept it busy doing pipe lines around expressways and Chicago highways.
I used to own a LS 5000 link belt excavator, it has the same swing drive that drag line has. Lots of power to the swing but the only way you can stop the swing is to go the other way. A 10 hour day running it would make bed time early.
Those great machines in those days, in mid sixty I worked around drag lines, I use to push the pads around for them , we had one American dragline that was Hydraulic , rest were old style. Unbelievable what these guy could do with those Riggs, we were digging out carnal. There wasn't Excavator in those days.
Your dad looks like a kid in a candy store he wants to drive them all it doesn't care what shape there in as long as they start and move life good for him at that auction
You can tell how well they have been taken care of immediately..i could see the last 750 j was a good machine by the cleanliness of the side boxes. Most people do t keep those components clean like that
The 6 wheeled JD690 JD they had one at the Air force base by my home. The guys there said it's for repairs to bomb craters on runways when they take back a airbase after the first strike, The hard surface of runway did not need a track or stability with outrigger. Very important for bringing in Logistics, personal. They wanted a high speed mobile excavator, to keep up with convoy. The LB crane at end. The Loggers in NW loved those as healing booms, or as shown on ( TV show AX men) they used it as what's called a ( YODER) not yarder. Don't ask me the reason why they came up with different names The healing boom would be put straight up in air. They would add more cable Drums on rear top. Then run out the cable and yard logs up hill to landing. The flat plate under straight back and forth control, was a arm rest for operator sitting in that NOISE hot cab. The poor operator sat in that cab, hauling big timber up and running cables back down to chocker setters Day in day out. All types of snowy nasty weather Thank you for all the knowledge on what you tell to look at on Dozer's, the codes, the wear area, that a guy doesn't get carried away on BIDDING wars. Like you so Brilliant said. Are you going to have to put $ 1000 into a very expensive repair in the rear lower drive parts. That your shop guy would have to take the back of one of those Dozer's apart. Those side boom Dozer's. I have always thought those Dozer's can have a blade put back on. I personally think those can be put back in service with a Blade. They just get lots of straight DRIVING. No heavy use as far as pushing heavy Dirt, trees, rocks, ECT. I like it you look at there use as a Dozer again. Plus you get a heavy lift boom to like put on back of one of those neat Military 2-1/2 Ton Army truck. As a heavy duty wrecker, or just a great lift for guy in field to lift a engine out of Dozer broke down. Or replacement of Tracks in field. There are all sorts of things those booms could be used for at site, for a repair away from shop lifts.
Those orange Caterpillar dozers, what's up with that color ? The standard yellow and military green are what I'd call standard colors, never have seen orange before........ Love your video's BTW, I have spent hours going through all your previous videos.......
Question. I shot two huge dozers working a beach renourishment in Sarasota. See video in my playlist. Do you ever see those tractors and just shake your head cause you can tell they have been run hard, track deep in salt water? The experience left me wondering how they do that, do they basically write off the tractors, or do they end up on the auction lot. Great videos btw.
Clint another cool video like the way you explain different things to look at. Very thin margins right now you have to be on your game or you will lose $$$ quickly👍
I could watch these all day, very interesting.
when our neighbor had his land cleared, the company that did it had pyramid pads on their dozer. was pretty cool to see. great video as always man.
Thanks Capt. K
Love seeing this kind of content, Getting to see inside some of these big lumps and listening to you explain things clearly makes for great viewing.
A GREAT father and son adventures ........Soon you need to start bringing the next generation with you :-)
what is good about this auction is you have equipment selection for any purposes forestry, landscaping ,mining civil work etc

I feel so ignorant, I drove some equipment 40 years ago, what a difference. Thank you

Great video Clint you are a walking encyclopedia of knowledge like these videos
Thanks for explaining things like charge pumps and shit. I don't have any use for that type of information anymore but it's interesting.
Thanks to Mr. dirt perfect recommending this channel. I’m addicted to this.

Enjoyed the the auction video today fro Richie Brothers - some years up - some down
Glad to hear your tips on equipment wear!
Still a little Leary of direct drive stopping vs torque converter stopping-.
Keep up the great work - from somewheres in SWMO!!
It’s safe to say that you are the most knowledgeable person at the auction
Really appreciate how you include us in how the decision making process works. The more you evaluate and explain things about how and why one might be worth bidding on and another not the more I feel my time was well spent visiting with you. Thank you for sharing your insights.
Thanks
Always like to see an auction on viewing day - especially with a couple of knowledgeable genuine buyers. Hey, I can remember little draglines like that running on steam!

Bunch Of Shady Bulldozer necks down here👍👍👍👍😎😎😎😎😎🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿 great Vid🛠🛠🛠🛠🛠👍👍👍👍
That old iron is neat to see. I like anything without a screen or smurf juice.
I will watch every auction video you post, especially with the commentary on items of note to look for (i.e., wear parts, points, structural etc.,) on various types of equipment. Waiting for that grader walk around…
Thank you sir.
Love the video, very informative 👍would love to see more like this.
Always interesting to see and hear what people are looking at and for when they head to auction.
Great video!! I can’t imagine the lot any fuller than it was.
Appreciate it Clint. Thanks for the videos!
Always enjoy watching you go through the equipment and what your lookin at to watch out for
Clint your knowledge is incredible (and Dad's is probably as well).
Cranes and motor graders are what I excelled in in the Navy Seabees 🐝🇺🇸
The mechanics in our Case backhoe shop would use a hydraulic handpump (or porta power) plumbed into to zirk hole to put pressurized oil to break through dirt and rust clogging the bearing channels. Worked pretty well with the oil able to penetrate better than grease.
I like that idea
So much good information, thanks.
Really appreciate you showing all the different equipment 🇺🇲 another great video Clint
I like seeing the auction
I have learned so much from your auction videos. Its very helpful and informative how you explain what you are looking for when checking a machine out.
love the auction videos great info!
I ran a Link Belt 4500 excavator in the 70s Cab looked just like the drag line Small on comfort LOL Good times
Great video, love watching.
I ran one of the 690 excavators. USAF ordered them for rapid runway repair. They are a bouncy ride!
those highspeed dozers are great at the grain elevators on the silage piles its nice to have high travel speed for less pushing power when you have to travel all over the site
Yes I bet
Keep the auction videos coming, more Deere excavators please!
Clint you and your dad were doing fine…….everything went downhill when those 3 hoodlums arrived on the scene!! Be careful of your association!! LOL 😂🤣🤣😂 Thanks for sharing your videos!
Exactly
We ALL KNOW that was a JOKE as "those 3" stand among the VERY BEST!!!
Love the videos
Clint really enjoyed the auction videos. It was fun to see you mixing with DP and let’s dig 18. You are a fountain of info. Really like that. Enjoyed your pod cast also.

Great auction great finds can hardly wait to see what you got
DOING FANTASTIC JOB BY POINTING OUT STUFF TO LOOK FOR WHEN BUYING HEAVY EQUIPMENT
your walk arounds are great and a wealth of knowledge .
Love the videos awesome 👏
They have one in Washington State as well, visible from I-5. Your not kidding, when they get close to auction time, the gear quantity is crazy.
Those fast tracks are interesting. Yeah the famous RB pre-paint auction pieces.
Really like how you say what to look out for on each machine...
Clint this is business but most of us don’t get to see to much of this side of the business
Appreciate the video content thanks
We had a highway project in SE wisconsin and they basically used quad tracks pulling scrapper pans and some of those high speed dozers to move most of the material.
Full Steam Ahead! Enjoyed ,,Cheers!;-)!!
Excellent auction review very interesting for an old retired equipment operator still working but it downsized big time thank you for the video
Yeah luv ta auctions good show
Good video.
I've never have seen a tall circular bucket wheel for trenching. My Uncle owned a 100' tall bucket wheel and kept it busy doing pipe lines around expressways and Chicago highways.
Really enjoy your channel. If I have learned one thing, computers have no place on a dozer !
Create more problems than their worth.
That "High Speed' looks good for city and muddy places. City able to work without cutting streets up.
I used to own a LS 5000 link belt excavator, it has the same swing drive that drag line has. Lots of power to the swing but the only way you can stop the swing is to go the other way. A 10 hour day running it would make bed time early.

It seems I've retained the little boy itch to play with earth moving equipment. Enjoying these auction walks and scratching the itch.
Nice.👌🏻
Great videos
cool stuff
your one smart son of a gun sir. Id DEFINITELY want you with me if I was ever gonna buy some equipment.
Bring more content just like this.
Those orange Caterpillar dozers, what's up with that color ? The standard yellow and military green are what I'd call standard colors, never have seen orange before........
Love your video's BTW, I have spent hours going through all your previous videos.......
It was a company color or state color
this is great clint.
Love it
Coming from an old Seabee The Air Force can use Tires they don’t get off the hard ground they just picking on my fellow brothers and sisters 😁👍🐝🇺🇸
Question. I shot two huge dozers working a beach renourishment in Sarasota. See video in my playlist.
Do you ever see those tractors and just shake your head cause you can tell they have been run hard, track deep in salt water? The experience left me wondering how they do that, do they basically write off the tractors, or do they end up on the auction lot.
Great videos btw.
I see them all the time at auctions
They are normally trashed
Interesting, I like "weight reduction" for rust, just like Armstrong power steering.
maybe world big equipment in the world Ritchie bros
Clint another cool video like the way you explain different things to look at. Very thin margins right now you have to be on your game or you will lose $$$ quickly👍
Yes for sure!
I love it
Yes drag line and clam shell run both plus regular crane
