Or it needed batteries

That is awesome!

Soon RB will be celebrating "the sole of America" the LGBTQ and you little boys are going to have to dress in drag if you wanna bid.

I wanna go to one just to walk around

​@Jnic the auctions look that big, you'd need to buy a side-by-side just to "walk around" we have nothing like this where I live. The size of these auctions blows my mind, here in New Zealand.

@@timfagan816 I saw a video recently may have to find out where, but it actually told the story of Ritchie Brothers auctions. Apparently they only happen like once or twice a year, rest of time is gathering equipment and evaluating :)

Thanks so much

@@DieselCreek What is the least valuable excavator age? This one appears to have some antique value, so may have been appreciating for some time even as it rusts in the elements, but at what age are both actual work value to contractors and antique value to collectors, both minimal? maybe 50 years? so 1973? Anyway, the age of minimum value is the age at which I am the most interested. With cars it's more like half that, 25 years or 1998, the exact age of my Metro parts runner.

@@alan6832 for age I guess it would be early hydraulic machines, your prob about right. Early-late 70s maybe even into the early 80s

@@DieselCreek And I'm trying to sell my 1983? EX100-1, but in order to buy an RV or moving van from a similar temporal low point, and that price low point is my main interest.

Considering it's 60 something years old and been sitting out in the weather it's in very clean shape. There's a guy in my area who has a small cable shovel and as a kid every time we'd go by his house it was always sitting in one spot for the longest time and never seemed to move. Because it was always incredibly rusty and it never moved I thought it was abandoned there. But I was told by my father that the guy used it for moving stone and dirt. Just in recent years he cleaned up the main body of it and painted it red. So now it looks like it gets attention and not just being a rusty lawn ornament. :)

Same to you!

@@DieselCreek how did the wifey take it?

I wonder that as well...nobody needs 2 graders

@@kirdot2011 What sort of crazy talk is that?!? 🤔

Thank You & Same to you Benjamin, God Bless

Exactly! It's been a while since there were interesting videos. A shop build gets boring after a year or so...

Matt won't have to remove too much paint. It's almost all gone. I'm a 70 year old retired computer engineer. I'm not sure if I wouldn't have been happier with a sand blasting company. Sand blasting something like that grader is my idea of fun. Yes, I know that's weird.😎

@@markmitchell457 I get it👍👍👍

Oh, my. The shop build, especially the wait for the crane is waaaaaay underrated. Old diesels fine, building shop, Premium

Same here, next best thing to being there!

Dad?

Glad you like them!

They reason why the Japanese don't have equipment auctions is because they usually dump it overseas. Here in the Philippines, its not unusual to see a Sakai road roller from the early to late '90s... with the original owner's name still emblazoned on its side, or an Isuzu Elf dump truck with, again, the name and address of the original owner on the door panel.

They do it because they can, no other reason than greed.

@@Kenoscope totally agree and in Britain they then add vat tax at 20% despite the fact that its too old to have paid tax in the first place, or as an end user you couldn't claim the tax back, so you pay tax twice, just for good measure!!☺.

Ñb

Look LP lol lol loo loo loo loo no 9 lol ok ok I'll😅i😅 I'll see😅

I hope so too!

Same to you!

@@DieselCreek thanks Matt. Don’t let the missus get you down. We love the old iron

Thanks for watching!
