Hello Morgan family. I enjoyed the auction walkabout Mike. I am curious about one thing, have you ever operated one of the "micro" excavators? Three years ago I purchased an Agro Tek 1.2 it came with A Kubota engine (yes way) it has a Kubota D722. Purrs like a kitten. The excavator has been a real asset. We have put 650+/- hrs on it and the only real repair was to replace a drive motor. Parts are not a problem they have them in Chicago or Dallas. You are correct they are great for replacing a shovel. Right now mine is under a house digging out for a 800 sqft wine cellar. Super handy. My unit has the expanding tracks that adjust from 38" wide to 46" wide that helps stabilize the machine. Thanks for all the great videos, it is great to see what other like minded people are doing all over this great country of ours.God Bless America and God bless the Morgan family.
Mike those remote mowers are for areas that are not conducive to sending an operator on. Steep slopes or maybe even wet area is where they would shine.
Forklift sparked your interest I see, Matt from Diesel Creek channel bought a few at auction for resale. He is in same state as you are. Perfect for the building and moving lumber around indoors
Mike those trailer mover adapters are for skid steers and mini skids the inner holes on the attachment plate are for the mini skid the outer holes are for the Kubota you have they make them that if you have both pieces of equipment you can use the same adapter plate
Pepperidge farm remembers when things were made in the USA.
I seen lots of people put a hole in a fork for a hitch ball with a pin so it’s easily removed and you don’t need a dedicated attachment for moving trailers
The mini / micro - equipment really shines a light on the power that hydraulic’s truly have. Far from old cable equipment.
Michael, they don’t want to make money, they want to hurt the other manufacturers. It’s one of their forms of warfare.
Hi Mike,
One thing your Vermeer will have that those other mini skids won't is after sale service.
And it WILL start the 3rd time they try😂😂
When you don’t have money but work hard you can get some work done with one of these. It’s all about working within your budget.
Key Quote you made ~ 'You Get What You Pay For'
Tiippy micro excavator , ask Tom with the Hauses!!!
Parts, parts , Who has parts for these little gems. Better buy 2 cause one will be parts.
Problem is, same parts will break on both!
That Massey Ferguson tractor was a steal of a deal for whomever bought it I hope your having a great day
Good morning y'all !!! Hope you have a great day, and hello from British Columbia.
Always love a good auction
I bought mini skid at ritchie for 2400 canadian. I use it as a rather strong arm instead of heavy physical work. .
Quick search, I see shipping from China to US at less than $5000 per container. Plus whatever it costs you to get them from port to final destination. On Alibaba those mini skidsteers could be under $2,500 in quantities of 50 or more. As I'm writing this, there's another of these auctions running other side of the state from you in Clifford Township. My guess is someone's worked out a deal in China, keeping a couple of these factories busy for a few months at a time, got the initial cost way down, and packed those containers tight. They probably work it out to break even when they move 1/3 to 1/2 of the goods. More risk than I'd care to take but good margins if you don't mind selling junk to unsuspecting buyers.
Another thing to consider is duty tax. I’m currently importing something that cost $5k and homeland security demanded $1k, plus another $500 in paperwork fees for the privilege of owning it.
I look at a person needing a engine for a old truck, a large truck is what I refer to and see a gen set for that price. The copper gen set portion would bring enough for scrap to pay shipping and the fellow buying a engine thats repairable is a good deal. I did used to go to auctions many years ago when the navy put up auctions and did very well. I bought a container without looking inside as it was locked up. I got that container for a very very good price and it did meet my needs. Inside of this container was a huge surprise as it was full of a couple different home furniture. The people who are relocated of the base and went somewhere else most likely bought all this new furniture on a payment plan but once it is on military base, the seller lost everything and it did furnish a couple rentals I had with very high quality furniture that was a huge bonus for me. I was in the army and knew how things worked. I went on one auction where boxes of stuff marked tools and got three for almost cheaper than scrap price. At that time was not a lot of money. Inside was all snap on tools but the military number system marks. Snap on still honored their tools if broken or unusable.
hobby hard wood Alabama has a kiln set up in a forty foot container . think it is set up for tracks to end load
Like my grandad always said, I'm too poor to buy cheap.
Good info Mike!👍
I bought a new bucket for my PC60-6 excavator. I bent it the very first time using it. I ended up rehabbing the original bucket and never looked back. Lesson learned.
Good morning Morgan’s!! Have a day!
This looks the exact same as the local auction in central PA. Even at 4-5 k that mini hoes and mini skids seem overpriced to me......if they were 1/2 that price they may be worth the headache.
I'll stick to name brand equipment.
I will admit I have a set of Chinese forks for my skid loader and they are functional for my needs. I'll take the leap on Chinese items which are basic steel like forks,hitch adapter, or fixed bucket.
Thank you for the video.
I believe those trailer hitch adaptors would work on your mini skid also. We have Bobcat S650 and a MT85 and we can use the trailer adaptor on both. As long as that top lip goes all the way across and there’s a 2nd set of holes on the bottom, it should work 22:52
Thank you for information
The problem people do no understand about most of those items. Look at the components it's made of. Most are generic name brand parts, but people do not seem to realize that. On mini skids you have compare size to size.
Massy is respectable. I have the 2850M W/cab. It's been an excellent tractor for my needs. We mow and maintain our gravel. Massy's price point when compared to Green and Orange isn't bad. I'd say a step about the budget brands.
To each their own. Match the equipment and cost to the tasks and longevity
Good morning Mike, Melissa and family!
That Massey Ferguson would be a good replacement for your Kabota tractor ?
I try to stay away from auctions now but it is still fun to watch.
Love my mini/micro Chinese excavator, I've got a wopping 30 trouble free hours. Basically they are built very similar to a log splitter, not a whole lot to go wrong.
I think Melissa would have looked really good in one of those clown cars, Mike.
micros are essential for piping slabs in commercial buildings
I've been to couple of those auctions and bought some small items but when it comes to attachments & equipment that stuff is not for me. You are right you pay for what you get!.
Good Morning Morgan Family 🌞- Have a Wonderful and Blessed Day 🤠
Lots of good bye's. And a few good buys.
Excellent mike cheers 🥂 😊
Good morning, we have a similar auction site in Southern Ontario. Bryan's Auction, near hamilton
Cool video I love auctions ,I know it's a gamble but so much fun!
hi there interesting , best to all john
The reason those micro excavators were selling for more than the others is they have pilot controls like a big machine not the levers counter up front like a backhoe
Pretty neat auction. Some of that stuff might be ok. Good luck with the bucket, i hope its good. Stay safe everybody
I bought one of the mini skids at a auction near my house . I have a big JD skidsteer and a Komatsu mini excavator but the mini skidsteer is useful and easy to get on and off of. Your Vermeer is probably worth 10 times as much as the china ones and I would love to have one like that but I didn't have that much to spend .
Thanks Mike. Have a good one!👍❤️
Looking at the winning bidders, it seems a few people won everything.
Them attachments went cheap might have to check out a action. That was definitely a steal on that massy tractor. Keep up the good work.
No disrespect, but mike you act as though you have it going on.
I love what your doing,spent many a day using the dynamite that you used blowing chocker holes to get the logs out.😊
That massey ferguson would be good for you, nice tractor they are
Great video!
The problem that I have seen with most entry level tools and equipment is that it is just an illusion of a product and you buy them as a one time use
Vermeer anything is tough to beat. Great products designed and built by intelligent Americans for intelligent Americans. God bless. TFS
Clown cars should have the Presidential Seal on the doors.
The small vehicle - inner city transportation/Uber. Stay safe.
Interesting content 👍👍👍
Theres a lot of money there going to China. Im sure they are happy to sell so much in a day. Doesnt seem like much didnt get sold. Cheers
Auctions can be fun. Thanks for the review.
I go to them for entertainment. I always learn something and sometimes find a treasure. You can talk to others and share ideas.
Thought Mike was going to bid on the Massey. Good deal.
I buy Chinese if there isn't many moving parts or too complicated design or parts that are under sized well I guess I dont buy Chinese but the price is good lol but i would say stuff like them extended forks are alright as long as they are thick enough to handle the load there are some stuff i would say would be fine
My opinion on this stuff is its like a cheap lighter.
Get a few uses, then when it quits... TOSS IT!
Returning the shipping containers, empty, to China would be very expensive. Best to sell them here.
You said it beats digging by hand.
A remote control mower sounds handy for my small piece of land.
Or working on steep slopes.
Mike, the old saying is, “ you get what you pay for”. The bucket you bought will last you a long time, the mini excavators with no parts back up or warranty, run the other way as fast as you can. TY for sharing. Dave D. From Maine.👍😉🇺🇸
Looks like they might’ve been on the forward section of the Dali?
Hello Morgan family. I enjoyed your video.Have a good week and weekend.🙏❤️🇺🇸
😀
Mike congratulations on your purchase of the bucket for your skid steer 😮😊❤
Those mini skids have their place I've run 2 bobcat mt100s but man the second I was able to use the cat 289 again I RAN for it lol they are jumpy little buggers
Also I don't understand the fascination with these throw away Chinese mini ex's , people are buying them left and right because they are inexpensive but for what you could accomplish by renting a real mini ex with heat/ac and way more power how is it worth it ? I get it you can work as you please a little at a time after work and stuff as long as it is running I guess right ?
My buddy watches his job site in the oil patch .he is a supervisor for Manitou cranes.they find the shackles or chains they cut them up and throw them in scrap bin .Said they aren't safe
I wouldn't bet my life on those Chinese chain slings!
Morning Morgan's I have to say you are right about the Chinese equipment but the prices I have seen on them is high they won't a lot for them yuppies down here are buying them up thinking they have a great people who have never ran anything before but they are finding out that no one will work on them when they're not working but I don't think they're be one on my farm ever, God Bless Y'all and have a great day 🙏👍
Those clown cars remind of "Johnny Cab" from that Total Recall movie.
Big boy toys…Mike enjoys
That mini clown car should be called a MeGo
we call that "The Rogers Mall". It is fun when you travel as I am from the general area and often see landmarks that I know of. Wasn't sure if you crossed the Eastvale Bridge or not but Rogers I definitely know. When I had a more flexible work schedule we used to go there on Fridays for their Flea Market.
Quite the assortment of equipment
Articulated loader or mini skid? What would lift logs for cutting with a chainsaw better?
A friend of mine does reservoir Hill work mowing his remote control .power was $30,000 a lot bigger 60 inch
👍👍👍👍👍
First today! 🍩🍩🍩
Hello from Australia. Keep up the good work
G'day Trent where do you call home ?
@@ishure8849Adelaide hills. We have a few farm here.
Good seeing other Aussies watching!
You would have to be nuts to trust those chains, binders, clevis and pins
YEP IF A FELLER CANT SEE WHAT HAPPENING WITH MASTER CONTROL PANEL- THEY B BLIND😊
I go over to Roger's sometimes.
Good morning Morgans and friends. Hope everyone has a great day. Thanks
@@HallnoutMhall Hi Michael! 😊
@@davidmorse8432good morning David
I'm thinking Mike might toss a bid at that Massy
Good rainy morning Mike....
Pete 🇨🇦
Good morning Pete , boy did we ever get rained on yesterday ! Our Decarie expressway had to be closed due to flooding ,
pretty severe 🙀
Hi Pete, Typical summer day here. Clear skies with high of 93° F. Have a day!
@badcat4707 morning BadCat, lots of rain, not as severe but wet.... still raining...
Mike, I try to purchase ANY inese made items!!!
They are trying to take us over.
Cheap ain’t good. Good ain’t Cheap.
If I bought one of these, I would make a real lowball offer on the one with the broken windows. Spare parts.
Parts would be a problem.
Thanks Mike For Taking Us All Along For The Auction Tour, Lots of stuff from out of country made out of recycled Tin Cans and Tinfoil !
Keep Smiling On!!
😅👍👊❤️
👍👍👍👍👍👌
when it is time for repairs i bet getting parts and service will be fun
Alibaba government subsidizes
dynamike! that's awesome!
