- The Gordonville Fire Company Mud Sale is the largest farm equipment sale of its kind on the east coast. It's the largest MUD Sale in the world. Mud sales originated in Lancaster County, PA almost 60 years ago when the Bart Township Fire Company conjured up the idea of having a donation/consignment auction to raise funds for the fire company. Today, dozens of Lancaster County fire companies (and a few outside the county) put on these fund raising sales.

This and the Hershey/Carlisle swap meets keeps PA hoping.Pray for this country.
I have been to Carlisle and Hershey swap meets many times
The one you asked to identify is a scraper made from some scrap metal and old tractor tires
You’ve captured the experience.
Well done sir.
Many thanks! …and thank you so much for watching!!
Thanks for making and posting, and great editing! Well worth watching, all of it!
What a mad house ! Or maybe it's the editing! Very interesting and intriguing ! So many horse carts for sale !
As I was watching ... the Rolling Stones song kept going thru my head.... Paint it Black ! 😮😮😮😊😊😊
The mysterious items is an alley scraper used to clean the manure from the barn alleys
They are made from used earthmover or tractor tires.Also if you catch the concrete in the alley ways the rubber will flex unlike a steel scraper which possibly could break the concrete.
Thanks for the memories. I’m 80 years old and now live in Florida. The Leaman name in Lancaster County flys high on the Flagpole used to live on 5038 Martin Dr., East Petersburg.
Thank you for watching and leaving a comment. I’m glad you enjoyed the video.
If you don't mind me asking, why did you leave? Such a wonderful and special place, with your deep roots. Why leave?
Great job! Very enjoyable presentation of this huge event. Wish I was there, but this was the next best thing. Thank you
I’m so glad you enjoyed it. I appreciate your time watching and the kind, encouraging comment!
Great video. Hope to check this out someday!
Cool 🤘🏼‼️
Thanks for posting !!
Live about an hour from there and never attended. My wife took me to Kinzer once, where they have the big tractor event and flea market.
I know all of the food had to be awesome too.
Although it may seem corny to some people, it is something everyone should experience as a part of true Americana.
We also went to the Green Dragon farm market once and participated in the auction. I picked up a great metal work bench for our garage for $15. Then, we have a real close farm market on the Pa.-Del. border about 15 mins away. The Amish come every weekend and sell, food, meat, produce, and baked goods, that are the best.
Thank you for watching. I greatly appreciate your time and the comment.
The item at 4:23 appears to be a homemade snow pusher or it could be used to push manure. It mounts on a Skid steer quick attach. That is my guess
Used to clean manure in the alley ways in the barns.Made from used earthmover or tractor tires.
I think what you need to do is explain to the people where the money goes to and how it spent. I’m from Oxford PA like Chester County and I know where the money goes and we spent that would be a good subject for one of your videos, so we knowother people now but I think it’s a great video cause I was up there that day and oh my God it was crazy totally crazy
The boxes are used to make tobacco bales. Pretty common here in KY
Yup.
0:25
Her face says it all
😂😂😂
She was there early as the auctioneer was setting up. Looked a bit tuckered! Thanks so much for watching.
I just wish I lived closer than Texas, they had some things I really wish I had.
Just a couple thousand miles! Thanks so much for watching and dropping a comment.
I praise the Amish for using their god given talent to construct, the rest of us go to Walmart🥴
@4:30 a snowplow from an old tire
Just curious, where do they put all the horses for,the buggies?
They put the buggie behind the horse.
Don’t never put the cart in front of the horse. I think all those buggies are for sale
the buggies in the sales area are the "horses sold separately" type. some of the horsies who brought people can be seen at 26:50, having a snack at the front troughs.
Terrific answer buddy !!!@@wattebol
Do all machinery items usually reach their reserve price?
Pretty much. If it doesn’t reach the reserve in the auction the auctioneer will ask if anyone wants to purchase at the reserve price. Not everything has a reserve price. There’s plenty of barnyard cleanup going on during these sales.
How much did the quilts go for?
Quilt prices are all over the place. From less than a hundred to WELL north of there. All depending on the interest of bidders.
that was a tire plow
Airville still does their mud sale too, don't they ?
I believe they do. Thanks for watching!
I watched the entire video to find out what the buggy's sold for and I still don't know. It was an excellent video however.
Thanks for watching. I’ll be sure to get some of that next time. It was raining long before they were auctioned and I was wet enough when I left. 🙂
@@LancoAmish - 👍
Do the Amish volunteer their time with the fire department? I know they are not allowed to join in the military or police.
Yes, there are many Amish volunteers in the Lancaster County fire companies. Thanks for asking and watching!
@@LancoAmish Thank you! I didn't know that! It's great that they volunteer! Excellent video!
Look at all those poachers and trespassers
That is the dumbest statement in the world @paulbuckner there are some Amish that aren't too bright, but many are geniuses they can engineer and or reverse engineer, just about anything with no Internet no directions no help. Imagine turning every item in your house to work on battery or air power. Washing machines ,refrigerators ,fans. I grew up on Amish. Their religion has many flaws, but hard work and being able to fix repair and modify anything is something they are great at.
does anyone know what sold for what amount ???i didnt.a mess of a video.
The point of the video wasn’t to show what things were selling for. It was to give an experience of being at a mud sale in Lancaster County.
@@LancoAmishany idea of the percentage of equipment sold? Some of it looks pretty beat up. We were at a sale in Kidron Ohio and they had a time limit on leaving equipment behind if it didn’t sell.
No music would be great!
When one tries to please everyone no one is pleased. Thanks for watching.
It would b cool to see 1 of them build a camper a thing out of one of those carriages. Hop the wheels up put some bigger tires on it and add a bunch of Crome all over it. Pull up in front of your girlfriends house and tell her get in girl we going
🤣😂🤣
I saw one made into a street rod , v8 with big tires
And I thought Amish did everything by hand ? ......Whats with all the great mechanical farm stuff ?......... I could use that Road Plane, maybe the Bobcat also............ and a buggy (lol).
They buy it then resale it!
This isn’t an Amish auction. It is a fire company consignment auction.
I don’t think the Amish are mechanical minded people. That one thing would prevent me buying any electrical powered or mechanical powered items at an Amish auction.
I believe it’s a general open consignment auction so anyone can consign stuf
I have dealt with the amish in my area for years they build bird houses and feeders they run computerized saws and build all their equipment to build with so maybe you should know a little about them before you open your mouth
You haven’t had much exposure to many Amish have you?
Wow. What a closed-minded way to think.
If you only knew…wow what a moron.
The music junked another video 👎👎👎👎👎👎💩💩💩😬
Then don’t watch them. Find something else in your miserable life to bitch about.
@@LancoAmish the music still sucks and junked another video 👎👎👎💩💩😬
@@daleolson3506 , go away dolt. I’ll continue making videos that get thousands of views while you don’t. 🤣🤣
@@LancoAmish music still junked the video
The Amish are hilarious, pretending to not embrace technology yet using it daily.
It’s only the outside world that believes the Lancaster Amish don’t use technology and that includes you and your silly remark. They’ve used solar for years and it was more used in their community before the outside area and they haven’t hidden that. They’ve used computers for bookkeeping in their businesses for decades now. They’ve used LED lights on their carriages before they were popular on automobiles. I could go on and on but I will only continue if you wish me to. It’s only in your mythological world where your premise is valid.
