    Three generations getting able to spend time together with a mutual interest is great. Enjoy the trip.

    Pete, it’s a skid steer concrete mixer. Designed for small pours like piers etc.

    Reminds me when I was a much younger man. I would go to the livestock auctions often with no intention of seriously buying anything. But I would evaluate about everything with extremely watchful eye, then I would complain about how prices were too high, the quality of the stock, and others paying too much for something I never intended to buy! Very typical auction behavior. The best part was watching the girls and getting a bite to eat!

      I haven't been to an auction in about a decade.
      Picked up a small comercial walk behind mower for $35!!!
      It was rough , tires flat, they said it ran with starter fluid , but didn't start it.
      Gamble but it paid off.
      Cleaned carb , aired up tires & it still runs today!
      Win some & lose some!
      Watching this got my blood going.

    I watched this video before, but I have to tell you, Pete, that I enjoyed it even more the second time!! You are so lucky to have your dad wish you still at this point in your life., Not to mention having your son enjoy the auctions with the two of you. I used to attend the farm auctions with my father and he didn’t matter if he was just a little Livestock auction or if it was a big farm oxen like this one, the time we spent together was priceless. Lotta people can’t get past the dirt on everything but I watched your videos enough to know that you’re going to take that front loader home and make it look really nice and work efficiently as well. I look forward to seeing that process.
    I want to thank you for taking the time to video, and I know you’re disappointed about not capturing them bidding for your front loader, but nonetheless, I enjoyed you walking around and talking about the value of different things, and what they sold for, as well as what parts were missing. The thing you don’t show that I love at an auction is the food… I always found auctions to have some of the best pies and sloppy Joe’s. Maybe next time we can get a shot of some of that good old-fashioned auction food plus the ladies are always so nice that the food booth. But maybe you guys don’t eat during the day at the auction. Me, I have my pie picked out within the hour and paid for even though I’m not gonna eat it for four or five hours.
    Working for an auctioneer was truly one of my favorite jobs❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️ the gentleman that owned the business was a kind, Christian man, and he and his wife became dear friends for life. Sadly, though, when my mother got cancer, I had to move to Iowa, and their business was in Kansas. He gave everyone there. Excuse they were wanting to quit the business, and I always felt bad about that. Because I know the gentleman that owned it really loved auctioning. But life goes on dislike some of this equipment here people buy it, and they create a new life for it, repairing it and repainting it like New!!!😊👍🏼
    Thanks again Pete and Family for taking me along on your day trip to the auction. I’ll go anytime you go. By the way, does Hillary like auctions?

    Pete, that black bucket with the auger in the bottom looks like a cement mixer for a skid steer.

  • @HSHess
    @HSHess ปีที่แล้ว +2

    That one piece of equipment was a concrete mixer for a skid steer. You could either use ready mix and transport it to the tight location, or use the teeth on top to bust open bags of cement and mix it up in the bin

  • @colettenewell4634
    @colettenewell4634 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    That fire truck would have been a great project but where would you store it. It would have been interesting to see it fixed up but i doubt it could get done in a season like the tractors. Looks like you guys had a fun day at the auction. I wonder if Hillary was surprised you didn’t come home with anything

  • @dyslexicsheeple931
    @dyslexicsheeple931 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    So glad you were kidding about buying the new tractor. I love that you use and lovingly maintain your older ones. They have history behind them. Your father taught you and your teaching Henry about motor upkeep.

  • @bobsandone3108
    @bobsandone3108 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    That hopper with the auger going both ways was a concrete hopper used to pump concrete. A 4" or 6" hose connects to the bottom out of which comes the concrete.

      Mixer. There was no pump. Close the gate, add concrete and water. Mix, then dump.

  • @thomasgill2024
    @thomasgill2024 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Pete, someone else has probably said... That hopper is a concrete mixer attachment for a bobcat.

  • @1ltlbrnc
    @1ltlbrnc ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I'm sure somebody already answered it, but that skid steer attachment with the auger to the middle was a cement mixer. Normally they have a hose. Come off the bottom so you can aim the mixed cement.

  • @priceringo1756

  • @wasjosh
    @wasjosh ปีที่แล้ว +2

    I imagine the first unidentified object could be a concrete mixer. Close the bottom hatch, add water + cement to mix (using the bag-breaker-opener thingy), then open the bottom when youre over the spot you want to start adding the concrete.

    That stainless sink set up might have been a nice addition to the chicken production area. Speaking of, I would like to see your set up for that. Most people have no idea how much work goes into processing chicken, not to mention set up and then clean up when you are whipped. Maybe show us the basics and keep the red stuff off camera to appease the squeamish. 🙄🤣🤣

    That hopper with the auger is for loading seed drills with bags. Your dad is correct the spikes are to rip the bag, then there would a small auger under the hole that would go up and drop into the drill. Probably for used to mix in graphite or a soybean additive while is loading. Beats carrying all those bags up on top of the drill and cutting them.

    💝Fantastic auction! We have had a motto at our home. We have bought all our cars and made them into our own used cars. We know the history of our cars inside out. Going for 500,000 miles on our Surburban. Have a Chevy truck that has been through a lot since it came out in the 1960's. Grown men drool over it. Some our favorite cars did succumb to accidents. One slide off the road in a snowstorm. Loved that little Saturn. Made so many school runs in it. Nice red color. Took the mountains well as we drove it back and forth from the central valley of California up to the Willamette Valley of Oregon when our son decided to attend OSU in Corvallis. Well Pete, that is the story of us making our own used cars. 💕 Love that you restore your machines. So fun to follow along with you. Take care until next time! ❇❇❇
