We got an old 20 ton case poclain 888b here the cab burnt out on it, sat for 10 years then decided to get it going bit off fiddling and wiring she fired back up! And still gets used
Thanks for taking me along. I enjoyed the Auction the most, wished you stayed for more. I like hearing and seeing how much people are willing to pay for something.
There was way more good metal in the door on that old dresser loader, than there was that whole rusty rotted out Hitachi long reach L.O.L. That old dresser looked good for it's age, so many of those old loaders have been beat to death and pigeon crap welded together with 200lb of rods and bits of torch cut scrap steel. It just seems to me the bigger the loader the harder some guys beat the crap out of them, to try break the booms and stuff off over the years. Thanks for the video, Take care.
Understanding an auctioneer is not for everyone at a big auction like Richie brothers that is where this video I think it was filmed there is a huge 20 foot television that shows all the bidding for people who don’t understand the auctioneer. But actually this guy was very clear and easy to understand
You need to pick up a few of those conveyers for your dredging jobs. Load right into the first on and have in dump into the second one and then right into the trucks lol
Richie bros. Drive by their place in Humble NW Hou all the time. One can dream. Sometimes its fun just to go and listen to the live online auction. Tons of stuff
Would that Takeuchi at 14:00, with the lateral movement of the boom, be for digging footings? I'm thinking of DigginOK who does beautiful ditches with a backhoe, and moves the pivot point so the stick moves parallel to the side of the ditch. It makes for very clean sides, and _very_ tidy footings.
Trevor Dennis yes it’s really handy for footings and digging in tight areas. My old 153 was just like that and I could dig between houses and spin around no problem
@@NigelHeads UH no! Only if there is damage. I cannot afford to let a machine sit while they paint it. It may sound wrong, but when machines are not broken, they dont get a paint job. Faded paint is of little concern. Lets take my 2012 Volvo for instance. My main concerns are is it operational and is it operating. I don;t care if it has rust, or a bad paint job. The steel on those machines is 3/8 to 1 inch thick. They get beat up all day long. The paint really is not that important. I bought a Komatsu from a guy. He had bought it all shinny and freshly painted. He did not have enough knowledge with equipment and he got suckered. He paid about 40 k more for this machine than it was worth. But it was purdy! He used it for less than 2 weeks twisted the dipper arm at a bad repair and did not realize the hydraulic pump had a sever over heat. Causing low flow and low power. If that machine had not been purdied up, he would have seen the bad repair and overheat and would not have bought that machine. Fools buy machines that are purdy. I bought the machine off of him repaired the dipper arm, by cutting it all apart and re-welding it back together. Now it digs straight and does not have a crack in it. I pulled the pump sandblasted it rebuilt it and put it back into service. I go look at equipment all the time with guys, who want my opinion. They are always dazzled with the shinny new paint. Most of the time it is to hide a bad repair or significant problem. Like the guy I know who had to buy this Peterbilt dump truck. It was all shinny and new paint. The bed looked awesome! Well too awesome.? They had used bondo to build up the bed. Within 3 days of that truck in service all the bondo had popped and it looked like hell, but the frame of the bed had spider cracks all the way from the rear pivot hinge to within 3 feet of the front of the bed.The bed was about ready to separate from the frame it was built on. To fix that truck he had to buy a new 23k bed to go on it. So I will take the old faded paint equipment that I can see all the good, bad, and ugly, before I buy the shinny new fishing lure paint job equipment every day of the year! Lots of neat looking fishing lures never catch fish, but boy do they catch a lot of suckers who buy them.
I was so hoping Chris would throw something on the belt so we could see it come off the end. He could borrowed one of the lad's bags and told them to get ready to catch it. 🤣🤣
Lots of that wrecked machinery from many countries gets exported to places like India, and the guys driving it are chuffed to bits with it. As long as they aren't operating a hand shovel or an elephant it's a huge improvement L.O.L
Just a thought but could you call out names of the rivers or byous you cross then I can find on map here in alaska. Man was to have the money that stuff setting there would be cool to know what its worth. I am here to say I do envy you'ns road trip is or as well. I was rounding off numbers in my brain box what just excavators are worth in that line you showed off. It is more money than you can ever fathom having. I like knowing that even though you will never have stuff in any wallet unless you hit a gold pocket like we do happen to have here. At one time there was a picture of a gold dredge that couldn't lift the weight of the gold in it as it was only half full but the men had to hand shovel it out into boats on the pond. Means it come through a gold streak under there which wasn't when the first was found (bucket fulls) on the second bucket right on through. Each shovel full by hand the hand held shovel could only have a small amount in it or the handle would break and have to be replaced. Gold was worth, less than seven dollars a ounce, then. It was several thousand dollars worth now in each little scoop. Keep smiling as it is easier than frowning
18:40 I thought it was music 18371849010301949184727477256123020309193918371874919401949294849585847462517394058661526384920182646281930857381030583743772928483747456638181745443455555432217727394030101
Good Grief, I didn't know you could beat a piece of equipment as bad as some of these. I watched Gold Rush this season and noticed each mine got a bunch of Volvo equipment. I wondered if they were able to use them at no charge as if they were used for advertising. Looks like that was the deal. Hey letsdig18, I seen you were at a Yoder & Frey auction which is in Archbold Ohio. Are you based out of Northwest Ohio?
I don't understand how these auction companies make any money, having to pay to move all this roached out junk to Florida from all over the country, to sell it for half price?
The auctions don't own any of the equipment. Its all consignments. Getting the machines to the auction is the owners responsibility. The auction charges around 10% commission to the seller, then around 10% to the buyer (every auction house is a little different). So they are making around 20% on each item sold. Thats how they make money. As a side note I buy and sell equipment through Ritchie Brothers regularly.
@@srp01983 its designed to get people hyped up with the auction going on. Make them feel excited to where they bid stupidly. You get 2 people challenging to see who has the bigger wallet, you get more money. Auctions have always been where if you win, youre the biggest loser/sucker of the bunch. Understanding it is simple. 90 thou 90 thou Between which he says whatever he wants within reason like let bid let bod, where the bid and so forth.

Its simply said fast speaking and rolling of letter accents and word pronunciation.
Thank you for video , may i have a question ? the machine Barford TR 6536 which type or name of the equipment and approximately price , Thank you again !
most of this stuff is junk no way would i pay the prices they were selling for. like i said earlier the only thing i would have bought was the invade Poland cart just for giggles too ride around the farm and have fun with.
Which excavator is best excavator ? My excavator is best because it has fresh paint. My excavator is best because of long boom. MY excavator is best because GOLD RUSH!
Don’t know how you do it. If I got into one of those diggers there would be a monster hole on the spot no way I couldn’t resist police would have to shoot for sure
That Gold Rush Volvo lol
City folk: OMG it's awesome!
Actual gold miner: Aww isn't that little thing cute...maybe my toddler can play with it.
Are the shoes actually made of wood? Looks terrible. The gold coloring on an excavator is so tacky.
The folding conveyor - would be perfect for some of those dredging jobs that require you to move the material multiple times before you load it out
The Gold Rush Volvo sold to an online buyer from Belgium for $290,000... Hope shipping was included!
Mike Howard
Damn! Crazy
I think the agreement was they would sent it to wherever the buyer was
Mike Howard i thought it was a giveway item. I guess it wasn’t. I doubt it’ll ever move dirt.
@@coopermeshew4298 i think the $$$$$ goes to a charity?
that paint job aint gone last a year
We got an old 20 ton case poclain 888b here the cab burnt out on it, sat for 10 years then decided to get it going bit off fiddling and wiring she fired back up! And still gets used
That TR6536 would be great at your dredging sites, place it right and you could fill the trucks from just about anywhere.
Thanks for taking me along. I enjoyed the Auction the most, wished you stayed for more. I like hearing and seeing how much people are willing to pay for something.
The scale of that Auction is insane! Some serious kit there - great video 😀

That Dresser 560 just what you need, never get back on a skid steer.
Im in LOVE!!!! with the gold rush Volvo excavator
We've got a dresser loader where I work. It's a beast of a loader
Definitely a fun trip! Look out Vegas!
What did that Volvo long reach excavator go for. You need one of those on those ponds.
" you can tell it's been on a barge the track pads are barely worn " walks 2 more steps pads completely bent lmao
DRESSER 560 FRONT END Loader Hydraulic pump $600.00.
I used to haul oversized to that auction all the time out of Virginia. That’s like the Mac Daddy of auctions and is freakin huge
What's the name of this auction
Yoder frey
My buddy’s got an old dresser loader like that he uses for snow it’s a runner starts and works every time
Being an an auction site has got to be like going to your favourite toy shop 🏬
That portable stacker seemed like a death trap
6:10 Gotta get that pay to the wash plant! No guts no glory!
How on earth can anyone understand the warbling that the auctioneer was coming out with...apart from the odd recognisable number?
Understanding an auctioneer is not for everyone at a big auction like Richie brothers that is where this video I think it was filmed there is a huge 20 foot television that shows all the bidding for people who don’t understand the auctioneer. But actually this guy was very clear and easy to understand
When you hear it enough it's pretty easy. Usually a board or something that at least shows current bid.
I can understand every number. You just get used to it
You guys have skills!
@@webmozaic Most of my family worked at an auto auction when I was growing up so I got to hear it all the time.
You need to pick up a few of those conveyers for your dredging jobs. Load right into the first on and have in dump into the second one and then right into the trucks lol
those conveyer's don't do well with wet material.
It's amazing some of the stuff that goes through the auction block!
Chris, that conveyer would be perfect to load turkeys into a two tier stock trailer! - lol
China will attack soon!
Richie bros. Drive by their place in Humble NW Hou all the time. One can dream. Sometimes its fun just to go and listen to the live online auction. Tons of stuff
Be a place to spend a Saturday playing with all the toys!
Gold Rush excavator looking good with golden bucket 👍👌⚠️
There's what you need! You won't have to float out into the middle of a pond and sink! :)
One of them drag lines and/or clam shell would be a cool lawn ornament
That Case at 12:05 was quick. So was that Volvo long reach 250.
Start your own discovery series, Mud Rush!
You guys didn't buy anything, did you? Just went to play with someone elses toys, huh? looks like you guys had fun anyway.
Damn the was some sick beat boxing at that auction XD
Yeah indeed this guy really can beat the rapper easily🤣🤣
You need a conveyor like that to transfer the mud out of some of your dredging jobs
the 225 Doosan excavators are the best ones in this auction as they are in a good state
Our machines in MN don't even look as bad as the first machine you showed. And they LOVE to salt everything, lol.
so much money in one place, good LORD

That excavator in the thumbnail was at my college for a demo! Super cool unit!!
Finally quit seeing dragline jokes and Chris just had to mention it again.
PS, go with the clamshell. Hahaha
So u did show the long reach . Thank you . Seemed a bit shaky on the return scoops . Thoughts on it Chris. Ps . Go for the drag line .🖒😆
Another Auction Meet Up! Window Shopping. Nicer weather and more work on the way.
You would spend more money getting them in shape than you could buy a new one!
Ahh that brought back memories of growing up around the auto auction. Most of my family worked there as I was growing up.
FRESH PAINT????? WHAT ARE THEY HIDDING?? Just my experience
Lol they repaint these so they look new then sell em.
Believe it or not paint is actually part of a machines maintenance lol

Lots of neat looking fishing lures never catch fish, but boy do they catch a lot of suckers who buy them.
Those Volvo trucks are gutless.
Brandon needs the Case excavator. Loading his new dump truck with the mini is like loading a pickup truck with a sand shovel. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Scott Coy it feels like that at times 🤣
All thou i have actually done that !
Dave Nelson 🤣🤣
That auction guy should try rapping 😂
WTF was the auctioneer saying with his quickfire bid counting? I could barely understand a word of it.
He was actually having a seizure.
@Trevor Dennis, after a couple of auctions you start to understand what he is saying
@@gerfromireland8077 I've been to many auctions and can confirm that this auctioneer is terrible.
you need a large pump for mud that can handle concrete, bicycles, trees, and cars....
i wouldnt want a machine with hoffman name on it.....it would never find gold and always hit water pipes
you could use one of those portable convener systems for bailing mud
It woukd clog
4:20 Now that's what I call a treadmill! Should get that man you probably could use a jog!
I was so hoping Chris would throw something on the belt so we could see it come off the end. He could borrowed one of the lad's bags and told them to get ready to catch it. 🤣🤣
That first excavator must have been used as a road vehicle in Maine.
That was a good price on the Doosan
It'd be nice to be able to justify having a long reach sat in the yard, waiting for that 1 or maybe 2 jobs a year when it's needed.
Ahh! A diesel teeter totter!
Some one would actually want to buy the burned out/salt 'ated' wrecks? even scrap prices...

Theres so much stuff, If you did want a piece of equipment to bid for, where do you even start lol
Enjoyed the video man that is a lot of equipment
Was the Gold Rush one the one that was in the television series?
case has good products
Well call it five ive herd a hundred blubber it's time sold$ 150.000
That Gold Rush excavator is just sad. Overpriced piece of machinery that's too pretty to use lol.
Its not for use, its made for show. Thats the point of it. Not everything you buy needs to be used.
@@Paultimate7 I'm sorry, but I can't comprehend that point of view.
That's what model cars r for. Excavators r for working.
Salt corrosion is so much work , it’s a job in it self
a lot of trucker gonna make a lot of money shipping some of that shit around the states
