Farm Auctions Stereotypes video in the making! Don't forget to check back next week!
No, not a red machine!!!
This is just a joke everybody.
So is that will be when you show off your new tractor?
It was so fun to see you at the auction and the (stereotype making)!!!
I will and I will sub and hit the 🛎
I am saying 150k
Edit:Ok, 150-119=31. I was 31k off!!!
Zack: "Someone online picked up a real nice 470 quad-trac. I wonder who that online bidder was."
Zack's dad at home: **mouse click** "Oh yeah...."
Exactly what I was thinking...
Welkers
@@joshlawhorn Too far to haul. Trucking would kill the buy price.
@@mfreund15448 drive the old girl home... Would make for some nice content
@@hellblazer275 Welkers should be used to it by now.
I loved going to auctions with my stepdad for the food and listening to the auctioneer calling bids.
I don’t think that most folks realize how much pieces of equipment for farming costs, this was an awesome experience. Thanks Zack.
The one thing I've missed in Lockdown is going to farm auctions! Burger, coke, chat and maybe buy something
I really like coke too on auctions🤤👃🏼
@@barttielen I was about to make that joke...
In my area we don't hardly have farm auctions. There is a guy that does a huge consignment sale a few times a year. Everyone just takes thier stuff there
@@2009rummell we have one big one every month autumn, winter and spring and then there are smaller ones on other Saturday's, never know what'll be there
Hahaha
Sometimes at an auction, all you get to buy is a cheeseburger and a soda. Everything else is too expensive.
To heck with the $6.00 burger, I bring beef jerky! LOL
Especially auctions right now. I have seen people pay more for a item than it was worth new. I think a lot of people forget you have to a buyers premium.
You just gotta hope the weather is sh*t and not so many people show and drive the prices up
@@Morpheen999 The weather doesn't matter much anymore with online bidding. I talked to a localfather / son auction team today. They said they weren't crazy about making the switch to online bidding but they were losing sales by not offering it. They really enjoy the personal interaction and it showed in their sales. Great guys!
Before I attend an auction I get prices on what the current machines are going for.Sometimes I see bidders get into a bidding war .Oh well
Thank you for the last few videos that you’ve done on your trips and then today with the auction is really fantastic thank you so much. And of course all the other ones you’ve done also have been fantastic too!
A very interesting video. Thank you for bringing us along for the experience, Zach! 👍🏼😁
Zach get home gets call from his dad "Hey guess what I bought online today"
The show will be way cooler if he did. Yeah!
quadtrac
I was thinking of a shot of Onyx in front of a laptop yelling "I won, I won!"
Now that would be hilarious!!!
😆 😆
I can't help thinking that a farmer that retires with no family member to take up after is a bit sad. Great video and surprisingly good clean looking equipment.
At the auction it is still fun. But when everything is gone and empty it gets tough. Our neighbor didn't want to go into his empty stable anymore after the cows were gone...
I think the same. In a lot of ways it is just so sad to see another farm sold off. Good for whoever gets it but the end of this mans dreams and years of hard work.
That's how it was when my grandpa retired, was hard seeing tractors that we learned how to farm with getting loaded up and leaving
Well, imagine if he passed the whole farm to a family member and then he would have to watch how they would sell everything way bellow theyr value. Or pass it down and watch them fail due to lack of responsibility and care.
My thoughts why the guy sold everything is that noone in the family wanted to farm.
Maybe his kids went into a field where there's not as many ups and downs....as a father it would make me happy!
Zach, this was really awesome, the stuff you showed and proces of the farm auction man, as well as the highly experienced guys you were able to talk to and share with your audience. Sure, nice equipment on a beautiful day early spring. All getting ready for the races. Thanks man!
Awesome video So many great memories of going to the farm auctions with my dad came back! Thank you sir!
It's a shitty deal..... Thanks man, I needed that!
I love it how you manage to make everything interesting, even an auction which I usually don’t like watching!
Excellent video! Brings back memories going to them with my dad. Keep up the great work!
Watching this farm auction video brings back good memories of me going to auctions with my grandpa wilford Dammeyer when I was growing up. I sure miss them days and surely miss my grandparents
People who think a Porsche is expensive, never bought a farm tractor
A tractor makes money and a Porsche costs money.
Abstract I would not mind having a couple of Porsche Tractors to sell here in Australia at resent
ye
those who think farm tractors are expensive havent seen the prices of of commercial ga aircraft like the king airs cost of newer models would get you a small new farm setup
There's a blimp for sale on ebay o.O
Glad to see there is still live auctions going on. Need to get my kids out to see one
Great awesome video, love auctions , always went to them with grandpa, always fun watching them go ,
I like the way you did this video. There was a lot to learn here an interesting perspective, as well . Thx.
It was nice to see an auction with someone who has knowledge of equipment and prices.
We just had my dads farm auction about a month ago. It was bittersweet to see everything go but one of my favorite things growing up on a farm was going to auctions.
Great Video Zach and the insight into how it all comes together. Machinery Pete WHOO dat!!!! Great Cameo look fwd to the next video.
THANK YOU for doing back breacking work that feeds the country. I SALUTE YOU!! Not many people know what goes into farming.
I went to a friends retirement auction in southern Mn just few weeks ago and like you said it was bitter sweet. Was kinda said knowing the family and farm history.
This chaps kit is well looked after and a credit to him. I bet this is a sad day for him. Thanks Zac
This auction was super clean,nice to see the farmer who takes care and pride in their equipment, makes for a good buy to the bidder.
Hey Zach: Loved this video. Brings back fond memories of going to Iowa farm auctions with my Dad in the 60s. We either waded through mud or stood around on frozen ground with frozen feet. 🥶 Auctions are fun! Captain Al from Tampa😎
Farm auctions are usually a lot of fun find out what is going on around the area. I like watching when rivals go against each other bidding good day for seller and auctioneer
Man, some of my best memories as a kid are farm auctions with my dad. Haven't been to one in years, but the Pepsi always tasted better from that food truck
Following your business from the Waikato province in New Zealand. Really enjoy your presentations and appreciate your delivery. Kind regards and very best wishes for your new farming season.
Great video Zach. Going to farm, estate and equipment auctions is a hobby for my father and I, mainly to see what stuff is selling for, and maybe to buy something. Helps young guys like me who may want to get into farming some day keep track on prices of "older" machinery.
Nice farm equipments in good condition on this auction 👍👍💪💪
Always nice to see someone having taken care of the equipment the way he’s done! Everything is of course loosing in value, but the usefulness and joy to use equipment that’s functional,whole and clean is beyond economical value!
Fun video.... been to lots of auctions but never a farm equipment auction. It was great to see this!
Thanks for the interesting video. Auctions we’re always interesting and fun to me. You can get some nice equipment at a fair price especially if the seller has taken good care of the piece of machinery. The rotary hoe you bid on was nice and a fair price. Food at auctions is usually pretty good. This auction had some nice nice equipment. Zach, thanks for taking us to the auction. Iowa farm boy from years ago.
First to the best videos on RUclips. Keep up the good work MNMF!
Always interesting and entertaining, you can"t go wrong filming an tractor auction.
Missed our local farm equipment Auction the last 2 yrs. 😡...damn Shanghai shivers!! It was great hearing the auctioneer though...hard to describe how certain things take you back. Thanks Zach!
Hey Zack..... I found this video really interesting.... I knew these auctions existed, but never had the opportunity to see one up close and personal. Thanks... I 'm not a farmer but live my farming dreams through you and the crew... thanks.....
The day of my Grandparents farm sale was a day of happiness for Grandpa and Grandma. But it was a day of sadness for me because I didn't have the capability of buying everything. And I knew things will never be the same! Lots of memories! And I miss those days! Love the videos!!
I miss going to auctions like this. A lot of clean equipment. I just want to say congratulations to the farmer and have a happy retirement good sir!
Awesome video. This brings back a lot of memories going to auctions with my dad.
Worked with Steffes, and Ashley, on a family farm auction a few years ago solid crew!
I was 26,000 over, figured some wanted to buy something they "had to have"😂 Always liked going to auctions with my GPA, he was a small dairy farmer all by himself in his later years😇
This was fun to watch down in AZ had to miss this!
Thank you sooo much Zach. This is just what I needed, worked as a auction ringman for years. The auctioneer I worked for retired a couple years ago and I just found out yesterday that he passed away at the young age of 86. Can not wait for the stereotype video, I'm sure it will be a hoot and remind me of "my" bidders.
Thank you for posting this. I've missed going to auctions this last year so this was a welcome video.
"Dont eat at that one that's a shitty deal " I died laughing never heard him cuss lol
You my friend need to listen to their podcast "Off the Husk"
RUclips knocks down payment for videos with cuss worlds. RUclips he tries to be careful but the podcast is a lot more relaxed for sure
@@conrad463 he will be shocked 🤣🤣
@@MillennialFarmer you speak the truth ! Loved it !
@@MillennialFarmer when was that said?
I’m glad I bought my Case I h combine last December before prices went up. Bought a 262 receiver for 700 bucks on Facebook market. Deere can keep their high-priced receivers
Farm auctions are always a fun time. Thanks for sharing Zach!
I'm not a farm kid and I love goin to the county auction just cause that shit is fun. It's really cool to see a mix of old and newish equipment and all that old iron that's still running.
I wish the farmer a happy retirement, I can't imagine how he feels selling his equipment.
If machinery Pete is there we can't afford anything.
😂😂
Honestly that's the best compliment those guys can get
Think it was Zach and his camera that pushed bidding higher this time :-)
It’s called the Machinery Pete’s premium....
That's how it is. The good auction companies get a lot of business but the prices are higher
My grandpa always took me to farm auctions in Northeast Kansas back in the 70's. Still enjoy going to them today - even if I don't buy something.
When we lived in MN, one of my favorite weekend morning rituals was watching Machinery Pete.
I reckon I could have bought that first tractor shipped it to Australia and sold it again and probably made money. Thanks for the video!
U were asking some vids ago about the camera... well this is as AvE would say "FOCUS U F" :)
I do miss going to auctions with my Dad nd Grandpa even though a lot of them were farm auctions back in the dark days of the 80's farm crisis.
I went to a few equipment auctions when i was at my old job back in the early 00's and really like them because I had the company checkbook with me. Good times.
Great job at showing how an auction runs. I used to go to auctions all the time as a kid with my dad who isn’t around anymore. My favorite part was the brats with kraut. My dad was the guy known for taking the piles nobody wanted for really cheap and we would go home and find gems
Better buy that red quad to keep up with the Jones...Ivers Farms(RUclips) just bought a New 380 with a high speed 24R planter and a 500 Rowtrac with a 47 split row planter!
When our family sold off 18 years ago it was hard, I still wish I had the money to hold onto a few thinks, wife thinks I’m weird that I still want a 4450 just to drive around, spent my life in one.
This is a great video, some people don’t know how auctions work. There are also a lot of tricks when you are bidding, but probably the most important is knowing your prices. You also have to be able to evaluate equipment like Zack was doing. You don’t want to pay top price on something that is broke or worn out.
I love auctions! I use to go with my grandpa to auctions all of the time during the summer when I was a kid.
I'm going to say by the way he said that about the online quad track bidder that it was someone he knows pretty well, I hope it was your dad and it makes it's way to the farm soon
I was paying more attention to the auctioneer, gotta admit. It’s a great rhythmic sound. You ever heard of the song “The Auctioneer”?
From someone that knows squat about farming and farm equipment, you made this video interesting and fun. Thanks Zach.
Great video as always! We’ve been doing 100 percent strip till for 15 years in northeast sd. Don’t worry about the clumps. All you need is your row cleaners (trash whippers). Most of them will bust apart totally and the rest just pushed aside. You’re already set! Good luck!
It's been my experience that food at farm auctions is usually pretty good!
Finally, your eating in videos again. I've missed that...bwahahah. Seriously, thanks for the reminder of memories.
I dont know how i stumbled onto your channel, but i just cant stop watching your vids. and im not anything close to being a farmer. half of what you say i dont even understand, but what you do intrigues the hell out of me. i've subbed and will continue to watch your vids until you stop making them.
That was cool video. Lot of younger generation now days dont get to experience actually being at an auction. Always loved going with my dad to them. its just not the same feeling unless your there
that auction looks amazing
I wonder when we will see Jim announcing his new quadtrack.
I love going to machinery/farm auctions here in the UK, even if I don't buy anything - its a great day out seeing old faces.
Thank you very much! Haven't been to one for a long long time👍‼️
Zac get pete on the off the husk podcast!!!
I’m 12 i’ve been to many auctions with my dad and i said there’s never gonna be a perfect auction for anyone but the sellers.
I really enjoyed this one. I worked for an auctioneer for 25 years. He sold everything and then some.
Happy memories of 50+ years ago going to auctions with my Grandpa. Hotdog with mustard and onion was lunch. I remember buying only one thing - a corn binder. We paid $1 for it because Grandpa wanted the tires off of it for the hay wagon. A bit different today than way back then. Enjoyed the video Zack
Great seeing you back Zak , say it every time but , hey we miss seeing you 🤷👍👍
In the netherlands auctions arent verry hot,the actioneers take a lot and then you get the taks over that again,befor you know it it became 20 %more expensive
Only 20%? Here VAT at 20% and auctioneers %% on top. Think 30% on hammer price.
That government ripping you off , not auctioneer
I absolutely loved this video I worked for a auctioneer on the weekends in my younger days as a spotter
Hey Zach we did the same exact thing with the rotary hoe. We actually ended up taking a old cultivator bar and put I believe 5 wheels per row and only tried to touch the strip. After one pass it was just like when you made the strip in the fall. Worked awesome!
Pls make more vidoes
Love them all
If I remember right, you mentioned the Welker boys on Petes video when you guys were discussing the quadtrac...🤔
Thank you for an excellent video, auctions are a great, bad thing. Great for the seller and hopefully they can make a buck for all of their hard earned work. Bad because it can be a crap shoot on how things sell. Always looking for a sweet spot in which the seller gets a fair price and the buyer get a piece of equipment or commodity that is of good value. Looking forward to the other videos you have coming with this and spring planting is just around the corner.
Haven't been to a farm auction since the mid 80's, that took me down memory lane!
“Sir, you said no before I can’t trust you” lmao
Got to love farm auction. I hate the internet they just drive the costs up!! IF YOU WANT IT SHOW UP!!
The internet is good for the sellers....some day you might see it differently.
Makes you wonder who is doing the bidding, is it someone intentionally driving it up. Working for the bidder since they get a percentage or the farmer
@@moneyandtimefreedom3352 Same thing can happen on site, not just limited to online. Watched it happen many times before. Also online bidding is here to stay so people are gonna have to get used to it.
I liked going to auctions with my dad, good way to see how people valued items.
For a yetter that’s a good price. We use them to bust crust after a rain when scratching up cotton. New they are close to 40k!
Only problem bidding against an online bidder you don’t know if it’s real or there running you up I have experienced that at an auto auction
I was thinking the exact same thing....feels kinda sketchy.
Zach, not sure if you’ll see this but, we run strip till in western MN, and tried the same idea with a rotary hoe you have. First year we noticed it threw trash back onto the strips and weren’t exactly satisfied with it. Ended up taking off half of the wheels so they only ran over the strips and not between also. after that, it worked great! Just an idea if you’re looking for something.
Awesome advice, thank you!!
You need to do more of these farm auctions, super great vid!!!
One of my greatest memories growing up was going to farm auctions with my dad.
Welkers farms bought that case! Lol
Love
You might be closer than you think...
Lol
Lol
Can't help but think that online bidder was you... or maybe your dad after you've pitched it to him. I remember he was pretty fond of it this past fall/winter.
it wasnt them, they are not in a position to make a purchase like that plus they are a fairly small farm at only 2500 acres or so
Zack - great job, enjoyed - very informative and fun.
I grew up going to used car auctions and that just brought me back to going to auctions with my dad who is no longer with us. That was awesome
