Matt throwing down $100,000 on stuff he doesn't need is just what I needed this morning

Got to be honest. Auction videos are some of my favorite!!!!

I can't say why I've been watching your videos for many years. I live in Germany and have nothing to do with such machines. But it has been a strong fascination to watch for many years, keep it up and thank you very much

Matt i am 73 years old been a diesel mechanic all my life I have worked on all international,Cummins and cat engines please keep us informed on your selling or keeping equipment i never miss a episode keep up the good work best of luck

Repairs, auctions, rebuilds, whatever! If I watch you get dirty like I used to do it makes smile. 77 years old and still love machinery, especially diesel units.

Well now you got that telehandler you can install the crane system in your shop.....

On the JCB trucks. One of them had the injection pump changed probably 3 years ago, I wanna say 237-37 237-37 also needs brake pads The old fiberglass roofs blew off during transport. Personally, I’d redesign the battery hold downs. I replaced the batteries in both multiple times from the holder arcing the positive post out and melting it. They usually always ran good.

You can get the oil filler cap off the Corolla you have scrapped in the yard. Regards Andy from Australia

14:22 "I've heard parts availability is a nightmare in the US". I'll take two, please. LOL Thanks for another great video! FYI - I love my hoodie!

I would like to see the inspection/repair of all the resell purchases. I really enjoy watching you work, wrench, and learn. Thanks, Matt!

Being in the same industry and now retired this is a great way of staying in touch as well as passing a couple of enjoyable hours.

The forklifts were your best purchase. With TLC and proper operation they will last many more years.

This was an awesome auction video! Of course we want to see the fixing and flipping. Best part seeing all the content that just came to the farm. The worst part waiting for all the content that just came to the farm lol. I love how Matt's neighbors are unphased to Matt bringing a haul truck down a one lane dirt road. Just a polite wave as we ride on by lol.

As a railroad worker it is pretty impressive to see how easily those side booms move locomotives and cars around.

Honestly everything you do that isn’t just moving dirt is super interesting to me. Love the auctions, the repairs, the diagnostics, and the Autocar content!

Hulcher Derailment Services were originally oil pipe line layers until a derailment on either the Southern Pacific or the Santa Fe RR's down in Texas. The railroad could not get their derricks (rail derricks) to the middle of a derailment to get cars moved. The site foreman from the railroad went to the supervisor of Hulcher & asked if their guys could give an assist & as they say "the rest is history".

11:00pm Saturday night in Sydney Australia, bedtime just got pushed back and I have the biggest smile, thanks Matt!

Yes, I would like to see the fixin up process. I actually learn something from them. Thank you for posting.

The telehandlers, back them on the trailer next time. Use the boom to push you back up the ramp. Thus saving the tires, and damaging your trailer or sliding off.

I love watching you bring stuff home from the auction. Usually, by the time I see your videos, you've already sold anything that I would like to have.

Please do post Matt on the fixing of the items before their resale. Would love to see how you repair the JCB roofs of the Cabs. Thanks again Matt.

Matt, You established the part about your not going to be building, nor going to run a conventional repair shop or operate during "A" typical hours. I can't even picture you working in a 9-5 setting for any length of time. Your calling is doing just what your doing now, buying, fixing, using and reselling equipment. For most, that's the dream. For you, that's the plan and it's working out very well. The video's are informative, but more than that-there an inspiration. You don't waste time on things like paint, buffing or polishing. Your theory is specific-It starts, it runs, it's here. Come try it, buy it, take it home, paint it and fly it! Your videos show how you got it, what you did to it, and all sales are fair, legit, and final. It doesn't get any better than that.

Matt, for some reason I lost you for a while, but the good side is I can binge watch ! But, seeing and hearing Matt going around the auction site, reminds me very much of my 7yo son going around Toys R Us with a $50 bill in his hand. Go for it Matt !

We want all the content Matt! It’s all incredibly interesting everything you do, even just mowing the lawn 😂😂 please have a camera with you!

Love watching you buy equipment that you didn’t really need but you did need

JCB is named after Joseph C Bamford who founded the company in England. They make their own diesel engines for smaller items like telehandlers and have manufactured more than 1 million engines.In the UK their products are so common that backhoes are generically called JCBs

It’s a vicarious thrill to watch someone like you or AndrewC acquire, repair/maintain and use the big machines I grew up around - my dad and his brothers owned a large CNY general contracting firm, had an equipment yard full of CAT dozers, payloaders, pan scrapers, truck cranes, gradalls, paving equipment, a fleet of 10 wheel Mack dump trucks, large ford stake/rack trucks, sandblasting rigs, multiple HD equipment moving rigs, etc… on weekends I’d accompany my dad to his office wherein I’d wash his work ford 2504x4 out in the shop yard, screw around in their Motorola private radio system that was in most vehicles, etc… suffice it to say I had a great set of summer jobs doin all types of labor that my dad initially insisted would help me develop character, but which he later admitted was his way to impress upon me how much I never wanted to do those back-breaking laborious jobs and instead wanted to be come an accountant and tax lawyer…. He was spot on correct

I'll be honest, I like seeing the stuff out at the yard almost as much as I like seeing you bring them home. Thanks for bringing us along, Matt!

PLEASE! Show all the rebuild and site improvement. You have one of the best shows on YT

You should consider putting a Container Rollout Platform (CROP) inside the container for the engine. It basically turns the container into a drawer.

Looking forward to seeing you working on all the stuff to get them all ready for you or sale. Thank you again for taking us along Matt. Really enjoy your escapades.

As someone who worked at a freight dock using forklifts exactly like that. I know the "Mr. Manhole" sticker came from a peice of freight, and that the dock workers laughed at it all day that day.

AWESOME episode! Good length, lots of content, backstory and transparency about your business. Intro with previews was a great touch and the outro with the Mack singing was just icing on the cake. Man this channel has come a long way since the early days. Always a treat, always love to see the evolution and being a part of Diesel Creek. Great job Matt.

Love both your auction videos and the troubleshoot and repair. Its nostalgic to see someone do "Mechanic" work, not "Tech" work. Anyone can replace parts til it runs, but it takes talent to troubleshoot and repair.

People like you are the best thing any nation could ever have. Hard working. Not afraid to get their hands dirty. Willing to risk their own money and health too provide legal .. clean living for their families and be a good part of society. Just keep doing what good for you and your family.. grow a good business, enjoy life.❤

Yes Matt, please show the rebuilds.

*I've been watching since the old garage & green jeep days. *With an old cub cadet mower thrown in for a change up. *Great content, Matt. *More purchase & fix up content, please.

Would love to see how these items will sell. It makes the process go full circle.....buy, tow, fix-up, sell. Great stuff!

I worked for Yellow Freight, those tow motors run 24 hours a day seven days a week wide open !! Tuff !!

Good morning Matt and thanks to Sam helping you haul all that home. I hope you will keep one JCB for yourself! Make a good profit on the rest.

You and your buddies get to play with the big toys I only dream of. Congratulations and thanks for always including us in your acquisitions, adventures and repairs. Yur a good feller Matt.

Matt I really am loving the new part of the channel BUYING N FLIPPING.

The nicest Forklift you bought has 27k hours Wow Was very well taken care of for the hours Matt wow It runs drives brakes work and all the functions for the lift work sweet 40:15 @Diesel Creek

I worked my way through the University of the District of Columbia in the 80’s selling auction cars 🚘. Now at 64 I enjoy watching you so much, I want to do it again

I had a diesel mechanic tell me if you ever get this in your blood you'll never do anything else. I'm not working as a mechanic anymore , but I still buy something to fix and flip from time to time. The channel is always a must watch for me, no matter what you're doing. I do enjoy the action videos and would love to see the fix and sell

Matt, show us all the steps, the repairs, the rebuilds, the prepping for sale, etc. Love it. Thanks for the video!

Interesting video. Love to see you doing repairs so you can resell the stuff you bought to reinvest in more projects. Cheers from nz

Having seen telehandlers used at work, its a no brainer, the Genie is the score. The older one is great, but the JCBs are #2 in my mind. They're compact and versatile, as far as haul trucks are concerned. Easy to move, and easy to take down public roads when needed.

I really like seeing you fix up these pieces of equipment. It really takes the mystery out of how these things run and work. I think the forkless Genie was the best deal, as long as your hunch is correct and there are no demons tucked in there.

Personally I think the dry van trailer was a great buy at the price. You can use it for storage, or license it and use it to pick up items that you don't want to haul through nasty weather. You'd be surprised at what will fit in those things. We used to pick up John Deere tractors and haul them from Atlanta to Iowa in a dry van.

ABSOLUTELY! I would love to see the purchase of things, repairs (if any) and being sold or even being Kept! Thanks for taking us along!

Absolutely, want to see your rehabilitation and flipping of your recent purchases. Love the haul trucks.

That transition at 0:14 was *chef's kiss* And yes please, do show how you prep them for sale!

Matt, we ran a LOT of those Toyota forklifts at my old job. You have nothing to worry about with those hours. Every one of ours did 40K+ hours before they got sold, and they all ran fine when they went. Never any major issues, just ancillary stuff like a gas converter, bad sensor, or dodgy starter. Major components, never a problem. The brakes on all yours will be good, just like they were on ours -- they never get used! That said, in over 2 MILLION hours I saw those forks, we never had a transmission problem -- NEVER! Pretty good for machines that would be going flat out one way grossing 5.5 tonnes and be slammed into the opposite direction at full throttle. ETA: That valve tick is the worst I've heard on one of those. They normally go away with oil pressure like all the others did. Probably fixable though. And the one that won't start will be some finickity little thing rather than the engine itself.

Happy to see anything you want to show us, so glad things are working out, thanks for taking us along for the journey!

Heck of a deal on that 534 fork Lift Matt 37:40 @Diesel Creek

The repair videos are the main reason I watch your channel. Don't get me wrong, the auction content like this video are fun too.

Nice haul! You should keep 2 forklifts, lowest hours except if they have noises or running issues, fix and flip the rest. Keep and love the Gradall, fix and flip the Genie, fix brakes on JCB, keep best 1 flip the other. Build some drying racks for lumber for the trailer. A dealers license is also a great idea if you can swing it.

Keep making the repairs and showing us the process!

Great buys, cletus could use a forklift with a working brake

You are an endless supply of joy for this 80 plus yr wanna be mechanic. You are one entertaining man. Keep on keeping on. Thank you loads from one western PA man to the other.

Stay tuned for Diesel Creek equipment and sales channel. Love the channel matt. Keep those purchases coming.

Thanks for bringing us along, I enjoy your day at the Auction, i would definitely like to see u prep them for resale.

I bet you are going to LOVE that Gradall handler. I worked at the factory when that model was being built. Structurally they are tanks, the rear pivot steering makes them super maneuverable, and they are quite off-road capable. I could see that becoming a big part of your operations. Hope you can sell the other forklifts easily, since all of them have the short masts for inside truck trailer work.

You should call that 5340 Telehandler "Blue Belle", Matt. She's a little beauty!! That's your best buy of this auction in my view. Rest are money makers, though that one appears to be a memory maker. 🙂

Saturday 9PM in Japan... Perfect time for open a can of beer and chill with DC videos...

having been to a couple Ritchie Bros Auctions.. you can wander around for hours just looking.

Yes, would definitely like video on “getting ready” for sale.

Matt, from a fellow Pennsylvanian you are exactly the type of person this state needs more of. You are my favorite youruber because i always feel like im right there with you man.

Best Buy? 534C gradall. Ole’ girl barely got home and started putting in work. Unloaded $9(ish)k of semi-functional Toyota forktrucks, when she wasn’t pulling the busted genie arond the yard. That’s the gem of the bunch.

Telehandler was by far my favorite piece of equipment on the farm. We had bale forks, pallet forks, and a bucket for it. Ran a digester/bedding dryer op. Used it with a hydraulic rake for haylage until we got a bigger wheel loader and a big rake. The telescoping boom just makes it so versatile for loading and unloading everything. Really handy for loading both sides of a trailer with something like round bales.

OF COURSE we want to see more of the process of stuff getting prepped for resale. Great videos, Matt.

An equipment refurbishing and flipping shop....Awesome Matt! You have a keen eye, and excellent wrench hand for this business. AND, we get to watch you fix/refurbish the stuff. Hope you have a good power washer. Some of that stuff looked pretty nasty.

I vote a big, resounding YES on any project you take us along on, Matt, no matter what. And is it just me, or have The Semi Supervillains kicked it up a few notches? They sound mighty fine!

Microsoft Windows 7 (and XP) Embedded is a cut-down version of the main operating system. It just contains the files needed to run the OS, and nothing else. It is for special industrial systems like that weight scale, or broadcasting video playout servers. We use it at work for all the special systems that must continue to run for many years without a reboot.

Yes I would like to see more of the process of reselling your good deals. I like the auction videos. Another great video. Thank you Matt. 👍

Yes Matt, please follow up with all these items you bought! I'm dying to know what's wrong with the big Telehandler!! I really like the way you did this Auction video with the follow up after with bringing them all home and trying to get the forklifts running!

Please more prep-up Videos. I absolutely loved this Video and would Love to See Everthing beeing brought to life and running well.

I like them all. My father got me hooked. He is 87 and still out in the barn always working on something. I've got a smart TV in my shop and use my phone for a hot spot and was listening to this show and watching it in-between working on my M715.

It will be cool to see a lot of this equipment being put to work!! I always love the “let’s get it functional videos but my favorite is when they are put to work!! Especially to advance you and your business and you channel

Having $400K in credit for the auction is a scary thing but great 😂 Love it 👍

Yes would love to see more of the prep to sell and all that fun stuff

Nothing I love more than seeing what you buy at the auctions Matt! Also yes please show us the repairs and sales 👍🏼

Would love to see more vids of you prepping stuff to sell. Would be great to see what you make off them too, breakdown of purchase price, repair costs, sale price.

Definitely my favorite kind of videos! Watching you spend all your money and seeing what treasures you bring back

Great day at the auction! The Genie is your real money maker and should be your priority. Once it runs and you’ve checked it over it will sell super easy for a very good profit - turn it over quick and buy more stuff!

Yes Matt, more of the resale process!

Love it Matt, keep buying and selling.

I Just loved watching you drive that JCB home with the awsome music playing!! Sweeeet!

Heck ya...want to see you fix to sell and fix to keep! To get 8 forklifts for those prices, you should make a bundle. That Telehandler is going to be so useful.

Yes Matt love to see what coming next.

15:05 V stands for vertical for when you stab the gas in that gear it does a wheelie!

Good Lord yes, man-please do bring us along getting your machines ready to sell. Really do look forward to what you put up here! Sounds to me like the Gradall is actually the best deal....something darn useful and you have gotten to liking!

The Genie was by far the best purchase, gotta say the low hour forklift was in the running along with the dump hauler. Heck I'd say you made out like a bandit!

Keep going Matt loving all u do , great entertainment for me , love all the different types of plant and seeing the work done on them 👍

Those forklifts probably all have unused factory brakes since 97% of forklift operators don't use them!

Matt, 'Been watching you since the 'Basement Days' w/Lawn Tractors, to today, WHEW !! You've come a long way baby! Truly impressive to be sure. Your 'Dream Life' is vicariously lived by men, (& boys). THE WEST PENN MAFIA !!

Yes, love to see the prep / resto process for resale Matt

I saw all those forklifts and thought Yellow? Yup. The Ritchie Bros yard on I-70 west of Columbus is currently a sea of Yellow tractors and trailers.

Always great to watch you buying, and fixing up all of those treasures/investments. Keep it up Matt.
