It pays to know the auctioneer personally . I did a ton of auction buying BUT where i did my grocery shopping if you bought thru the ring at the time anything over 1500 bucks was a ride and drive and running as it went by , Now if the starter was elscrapo junk , deqad battery , Hyd. did not work or any nasty sound of a walnut grinder grinding shells and all coming out of the trans or rear end or ya found a cracke block , water or fuel in the oil Once you bought it you cold reject or negotiate the price . If the called good T/A and you found that OH it does not hold in the high rage and higher gears you could aqain reject or make a deal. Then after a bunch of elscrapo junk that still ran and moved on it's own started getting rejected they uped the reject price to 4 grand i got zinged on a Sharp looking 1855 Oil ALL OVER . If you bought from the dead row you bought it to love it . Bought a sharp 826 at Ted Everette sale just shortly after he started having sales and they called good T/A and guaranteed it . It was getting late in the day and my buddy and i had been out of sales all week and we had one hole left on the back of the semi and as soon as i gto the ticket on it i went in and paid my bill and ran out jumped on and got it on the back end of the trailer threw four chains on it and out the gate east bound hammer down . I did try the T/A once while driving to the trailer in 4th low and it held . Donnie and got to his place around 2 in the morning and i still had 48 miles to the house . We did not unload till the following Monday . When i got it home to the shop i did a better ROAD test and found out that the T/A was headed south . Called Ted and told him and he said send him the bill . All the guys we dealt with were straight shooters . Bought a lot off the guys in Indiana . BUT i don't like this online stuff i am to touchy feelly . and ya can still miss things .

Today's Featured Article - Usin Your Implements: Bucket Loader - by Curtis Von Fange. Introduction: Dad was raised during the depression years of the thirties. As a kid he worked part time on a farm in Kansas doing many of the manual chores. Some of the more successful farmers of that day had a new time saving device called a tractor. It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'.
