Shopping for Deals at the Ritchie Bros Auction! (We Scored BIG!)

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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!

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

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!

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.

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

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.

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.

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 you are living most of our dreams! Would love to see all the repairs and resells of the equipment hall. I enjoy all your videos, dirt work,shop build,repairs, auctions,you make it I'm watching it. Best content creator on here. Pretty sure I'd watch you eating lunch. Congratulations on all your success.

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