Thanks for bringing us along to the auction. Very interesting, the auctioneer starts high to catch some greenhorn who has never been to an auction before.

That tumbler you were pointing at that you were trying to figure out what it does, pretty sure it's for screening rocks out of soil...you take a big old scoop of dirt you want to screen, the tumbler spins and releases dirt through the sieve, and the rocks are retained inside the tumbler, then you go dump them in your fencerow. I haven't seen one just like that, but I've seen similar type doodads. That one there actually looks like a pretty nice design.

Auctions have their own culture. I've seen newbies get taken to the cleaners because they were unfamiliar with how to bid. My advice is to go to a few auctions before you buy anything. They are great entertainment.

Thanks for taking me along

Thank you for this, Pete. It was a real joy. I have to tell you I had to stop the video about halfway through and shed a few tears for my grandpap who took me to a lot of auctions over the years. He died a while back, but you never know when an old C tractor a threshing machine might make you miss a loved one. Thanks for that.

I absolutely love farm auctions,yours was pretty big,my wife don’t like it when I go,I end up telling her,honey, look what followed me home! There just so much fun for me.

Pete is a great knowledgeable person. My son Zach and i were able to meet him at this auction. My son follows all his videos and was estatic to meet him and chat for a few. Made his day and to go-to school and tell his story thanks Pete.

Way back when we bought our first farm we used to frequent farm auctions but you get to a point where you really don't need anything else, except maybe having your own auction to get rid of the stuff you don't need anymore 😁

I love these videos. My grandfather was a farmer through the great depression and by the time he retired, his operation was worth millions. When I was a kid, you'd walk around the farm and find all sorts of re-used materials. You'd even find entire buckets of old used rusty nails where he'd pry them out when a fence was being replaced. I could see him out at a farm auction like this, looking for deals.

Thanks for taking us along I sure do miss going to auctions with my dad he never really bought much but loved to talk to other farmers captive audience I guess lol

Thanks for posting this video. When I was young, my Dad and I often attended farm auctions. Now, my father is gone and there are very few farm auctions taking place. This video took me back and I enjoyed it.

My experience lately at farm auctions - The bargains are few and far between. Better off keeping an eagle eye out on Craigslist or Facebook market place. Find a deal and be first to show up with cash in hand. Sellers appreciate a serious buyer. 💵

Thanks for brining me along. I’ve never seen an auction like that before. I’ve been to many livestock auctions and estate sales. This was something else!

I love auctions. So many memories with my grandpa going to them. Learned how to look at equipment with him, and I use that knowledge now growing to fleet.

So a guy goes to a machinery sale and looks at a manure spreader. He asked the seller about condition. Seller told him he would stand behind it. Bought and took it home and it wouldn't work. He went and jumped the seller who replied, "I told you I would stand behind it, would I do that if it worked? I would be covered in sh*t."

That was very interesting. As a city dweller, all this stuff is like "alien technology." Pretty cool. Your video was great.

This video brought back good memories of my dad. I went to many auctions with him when I was a kid.

Thank you for taking us along! I always wanted to go to one, but didn't want to go at it alone. Thank you for explaining what you did :)

Thanks for taking us along.

So awesome you are doing this with your Dad. I miss my Dad everyday. R.I.P. ❤️

Hi Pete. That was a really great video bringing over not only the facts but also the atmosphere of the auction in a very good way. Felt almostcas if I was there myself. Thanks a lot.

Thanks for taking me to the auction. I generally go to this one myself. Been there for stuff in the back row till 9 pm. Fun times there. That G had what looked like Rotavators to me. It would have been rototillers for inrow tilling. You can still buy them. Not sure where anyone around here would use them with all the rocks we grow. Thanks for sharing.

Your father is prestige man good bless both of you, enjoyed watching this stuff. Thanks

Thanks Pete for taking us along to the auction.

One of the best things to do with a rainy day! Gotta love it.

Wow, great video! Thanks for taking the time to share your knowledge. I’ve seen machinery with the motor oil treatment and wondered how it got that way and now I understand. Thanks.

Thank you for that, Pete. Machinery auctions are so similar where ever we live. You could just as well have been in my country, Ireland, at one. You are so right about on line or phone bids. They all may be legit. but there is always that “hmmmm, I wonder”. Sometimes, we loose our sanity at auctions and bid for items we do not really need, or sometimes overpay beyond the value. I really enjoyed this day out with you. 👏👏👏

Thanks for taking us to the auction. It is fun to compare prices in different areas.

Had so much fun watching this. Reminded of my dad and I going to the auctions. Eating chili and having a good time. Thanks for sharing!!

Thanks Pete. I always enjoy your videos, but this one was super interesting. Looking forward to seeing that tedder in action.

Fun day at the auction, I love going to them back in Kansas. The estate sales were the best because you could pick up antique items for a little bit of nothing. I loved going to them.

Thanks for the video. It brought back memories of when I ran tickets back and forth from the auctioneer truck to the check out. I laughed when you mentioned the smells of an auction.

What a long day for sure. Thanks for taking us along. Be well.

Man thank you for taking the time to show us all that. Much appreciated

i love that auction,if i hadnt hd to work my real job i would have been there slgging in the mud just to see what stuff was there,and who was buying what.thanks for taking us along,it was a great way to see the event.look forward to seeing you use your new tedder this season.

I did enjoy the auction! I have not been to one in over a year either. Congratulations on getting the Tedder!! “It ran when it was last parked” Lol, that’s my favorite line I think!!

I love auctions! Thanks for taking us along!

Amazing the similarities to auctions here in Scotland, although the implement auction sale at Lanark is still on line only. They even use the same colour of marker pen for lot numbers. Thanks for giving a great overview revealing how thousands of miles don't make much difference in rural ways.

That bucket is common on the pipeline, you get a scoop of dirt and the bucket spins. Dirt falls out and rocks stay in, then you dump the rocks wherever you want. I've only seen them on trackhoes

Pete I felt as if I’m by the auction! Love the way you make your videos! Keep going! Thank you!

That was interesting. Thanks for taking us along. :)

I learned a lot today about auctions, thank's

This man is media trained better than every online professor I’ve ever had

Thanks for taking us along, got a few tips on how auctions work!

Thanks for showing us the auction , Congratulations on your tedder, nice price, can't wait to see you go through it!

Enjoyed this one! Thanks for taking us to the auction.

Nice to see you & dad out and about Pete

Great video. Good crowd considering the damp weather. Love going to auctions, it's fun watching people bid, how they get caught in the heat of the moment and spend way more than they should. Over the years, got quite a few good deals. Best days are when it is a beautiful sunny day in hay season, most farmers can't come out and bid! LOL. BTW, I am in the hunt for the same type of tedder as you.

That old combine was state of the art in the 1950s. As a kid I worked on the farm across the road in the summer and learned all about greasing on a John Deere 12 pull behind combine. We pulled it with a John Deere G. It was a moving dust storm when it was working.

I was at this auction, my first auction I was by the canoe trying to get it for my mom but it didn't work out but it was super fun and everyone is friendly and super talky!

Always a good day at auction with dad there thanks for sharing

Love the auction coverage!👍

Very interesting. Thanks for the report. I bought my smallholding in North Wales UK at auction in 1997, a great investment!

Your dad was a trooper...just enjoyed this video very much

Great video Pete! Glad you guys are back to a life somewhat normal up there! Here in Kansas we usually only have a buyers premium when it comes to selling land.

Thanks for the look at the auction. Really nice.

Thank you. Enjoyed the auction. God bless

Very pleasant video. Great description of an auction. They always start real high to whet your appetite.

Loved this, do it again when you go back!

"There's nothing like the smell of auction: diesel fuel, cigarettes, burnt hamburgers, and old oil." Well, said, Pete.

My husband had a friend that took over the family farm in Saskatchewan Canada, farmers love to buy his farm equipment because he took such great care of his, never left them out in the rain and snow like other farmers did.

Thanks for the overview! I’m closing on 30 acres at the end of the week. I’m going from a subdivision to the “farm”. Gonna need some stuff. Been watching auctions for tractor and UTV…this has been helpful.

Thanks for taking us along

Oh wow, so close to me! I wasn't aware they were having an auction in Whitney Point. Glad to see you got at least one item you were looking for.

I'm glad you were finally able to upgrade the tedder!!

Thanks for the info I learned a few new things any day you learn something new is a good day. Thanks

I use to go to farm auctions all the time. Now due to covid am unable to get to them. They are a lot of fun to go to. All the best with your auction buy.

Really appreciated this! Thank you for showing us the ropes!

great video, thanks for taking us along

Thanks for a great view of a farm auction. Really enjoyed the video.

Love the call of auctioneers. 👍

Amazing auction! I wish we had auctions that big where I live.

After some thought, I would have bid on that thresher. Wood construction, hand feed, drag stacker & the bagging chute down below on the side. Such a neat piece that looked to be complete, minus the belts & it went dirt cheap. Thanks for posting it as most other channels just walk past such things. I personally like the true antiques & horse drawn stuff. It's what makes the Amish auctions that much more appealing to me.... though they are getting rather newfangled these days. Regards!

I am never early anymore! I just don’t have time to watch KZfaq like I used to, but I’ll still watch every video! See you tomorrow or Tuesday!

Diesel, Burnt oil, burnt burgers however it went, had me cracking up! 😂😂. I’ve never been to an auction. It looked kind of fun. But I couldn’t stay no where near as long as you did. What I’d give to hang out all day with my Dad. Looking forward to seeing the Tedder in action. Great video Pete.

So cool to see the Clinton tractor sticker on the spreader I live like 10 minutes from there

Thanks for your time. You made a nice video out of it.

Makes me want to go to one again, I used to go all the time

I bet that was a long day out. Your efforts are appreciated... :-) You'll have to show us what you bought in more detail.

I love when you’re videos in auction

Really enjoy the farm equipment auctions and seeing the prices in other areas of the country!

Great video this one Pete, I really enjoyed watching this,

Good day, good fun, & going home with something You won !!! (At 30mph... Lol). Looking forward to seeing it cleaned up, & working hay GB

Excellent video Pete :) to bad couldn't got a couple old tractor and some more implements too buy also! But great information told on video too and glad got one implement peice machinery to take home and fix up!

just playing catch up since I found your channel,like your style you give easy listening explanations on all you do,makes for great viewing saw your farmers market other day was really interesting,have subbed will follow you and your way of life take care and stay safe

My dad used to love going to estate auctions. He had a way of knowing when one was coming up after postal mailings of the lists stopped. (Possibly had my mom put her email on a mailing list since he didn’t have email and avoided the internet in general himself…) I have a few items he bought to help get the auction started as he was waiting to get through the household stuff to get to the barn/shop where his real interest lay. My mom and I were brought gifts of things he thought we would enjoy. Sometimes we would get a call just after he arrived and be told that we should actually come to it as there was lots of things that we would want there.

I upgraded to what looks to be the same gf5000 tedder. HUGE upgrade from my old kuhn gf440. Got it from an old timer who had just retired from hay who had bought it new and was always shed kept! Hope yours treats you well!

My father owned one of those potatoe diggers, you can rig up a stone boat with short sides and collect potatoes that way.

Thanks, you made me feel good about the prices on FB and CL, they are way better. Your price on the tedder was not bad.

Thank you👍I enjoyed going to the auction with you 😁😷

Awesome video!!! Love the auctions! Glad you got what you went for!!!!

Really enjoyed your video.....Farm auctions are always a good time!

Looks like there was a lot of neat old equipment there, awesome video

Great job Pete👍👍

love this video, glad you took us along!

6:17 This might be similar to what I used to tumble compost down to usable size pieces. I made a stationary piece powered by a small gas engine using a drum made with expanding metal. Back a trailer or truck underneath and let it spin, compost gets ground down to small bits that fall thru the screen. Very handy.

You're doing a good job you're living the way I grew up

Thanks so much - you have an excellent YT channel - much appreciated. I subscribe and click all the ads for happier days.

Now this is a great video thanks for sharing

Another aspect to farm life, thanks for sharing Pete. I’ll look forward to seeing that tedder in action.
