What did Carl buy at the farm auction???

hey hurry up get in the truck with me we're going to a farm consignment auction this morning i'm excited the weather's warming up it's going to be a nice warm day today and there's a lot of equipment on this auction i've got my eye on something specific so let's see if we can go get it hey there thanks for turning down my road if this is your first time here my name's carl my little brother and i both work for local farmers full time but we both also farm together with our cattle herd and our hay operation everybody's involved from the smallest to the biggest if you don't have the joy of farming yourself i'd love to help you experience it through this channel whatever your background you've found the right place this is dodge brothers farm and ranch [Music] well here we are the sail is up and rolling you can hear the guy in the background they're actually running two trucks at the same time it's probably going to take them most of the day to get all this stuff sold i mean look this is a large farm consignment sale there's a lot of equipment here uh one of the things that i'm here to look at is a skid loader trailer and i haven't found it yet but i did stumble upon this there's two of these nurse tank trailers parked right across from each other the red one here and then the blue tanker over here with the black frame underneath it both of them have got motors on them pump motors i really like this one it's got a three inch fill on the back direct into the tank and it's got a long enough hose to reach wherever you're going obviously we could we could plumb up either one the way we wanted it so the reason this interests me is when we get to planting this year with our new nitrogen set up on the planter we have a thousand gallons of storage on the tractor and this is a 1 000 gallon tank so it would be pretty nice to be able to pull this behind a tractor or a pickup or something and have somebody go running for nitrogen for me and leave this parked in the field and i could pull up and fill out of it something like this matched perfectly to the size of the the tanks on the tractor would be pretty nice to have that one over there looks just a little more top-heavy the tires aren't quite as good they're wagon tires and it doesn't have all the plumbing on it all right let's see what else we can see auctions are always a blast all right i found the trailers let's see what we got here this one is almost the size i would want but looks to me like the axle might be bent or the wheel bearing might be out of it or something if you look you maybe can't tell on the camera but that front wheel is actually turned out just a little bit let me see if i can get down here and show you what i'm talking about see that how the wheels aren't running the same direction that is not good at all i think i'm going to shy away from this one it's kind of too bad that's just exactly the size i was hoping to find i just found another problem with it i was all impressed by this black poly floor but it looks like they just screwed that down to cover up the fact that the wood is rotten underneath that's yup not gonna buy this trailer definitely not interested in that trailer this is a pretty nice trailer so this is the official way to measure things as a farmer and you shouldn't do it while you're talking to a camera because i can't count and talk at the same time okay this trailer is 20-21 feet long because each one of my steps is about three feet close enough i mean it's got really good tires on it it's a really heavy duty trailer if you don't know the weight rating of the axles on a trailer one of the ways you can tell is by counting the lug bolts on each wheel this one has eight lug bolts on each wheel so this is a pretty heavy duty axle on this trailer if we go back and look at this other one down here you'll notice it only has six and your more light duty trailers will go down to even having five lug bolts on each axle and i think those are you know only rated for three thousand pounds per axle or something not very much this one's a pretty good looking trailer it's just a little bit shorter than the other one heavy duty axles looks like it's in pretty good shape as well i always like to check and see if it's got a license plate turn signals all the things that it should have if you're going to pull it down the road this trailer is probably going to go for a pretty high price but i do like it so as is typical with farm sales these trailers that i'm really interested in are probably going to be the last thing to sell man i would love to have this tractor for making hay 7700 john deere i think this is maybe about 130 horse 120 horse i'd have to look it up for sure let's jump inside of this thing and see what it looks like nice little uh little wear on the seat little red green duct tape repair right here on the console so this has four ranges a b c and d and then it's got a four speed power shift forward and reverse let's figure out how many hours it has on it 6900 hours this is a yeah this is a really nice tractor looks like it's got brand new front tires on it this would pretty much be the ideal haymaking tractor it's just the right size it's got a nice comfortable cab it's got air conditioning run pretty quiet and the 7700 800 these tractors are really reliable if i had to guess i'm guessing this thing's probably going to go for maybe 45 000 but it's gonna be more than i want to spend i thought that this 20-foot southern classic gooseneck livestock trailer might go cheap today was i ever wrong this trailer brought twelve thousand seven hundred dollars i believe it's a 2004 i'd have to look it up for sure but man these aluminum trailers really hold their value well i uh i've been on the lookout for a gooseneck trailer for hauling cattle but i don't know i can't justify that guys i think i just found the deal of the year there's a pair of silage wagons sitting here and if you look at the top this one here looks a little rough but look at this it's half full of silage you buy a silage wagon you get feed for your cows too look at that one thing i definitely didn't need today is these hot rubber boots i haven't found a mud puddle anywhere down here well there goes the nurse tank wonder who bought it oh yeah that's right we got the trailer i'm really happy about this like i said earlier the trailer holds a thousand gallons and our saddle tanks on the tractor for putting nitrogen on when we plant are going to hold a thousand gallons together so it's the perfect marriage and we got it for about a third of the price of a new one that's set up just the way this one is so that's always nice sometimes when you go to these auctions it turns out like that you get a really good deal and then sometimes if you get two guys that are bull headed enough and they both show up thinking that they really want to buy that one thing it's unbelievable i have seen some things go for right at brand new price when they're mostly worn out already that doesn't make any sense to me at all something is definitely wrong let's go see what's going on oh oh that's awesome so i thought that trail of stuff down the highway was coming from my pickup and all that happened was i just headed down a really big hill and there was a little water left in the tanker and it drained out the uh the drain hole on the pump motor wow my heart is racing well we made it i see the new gauges on my truck look like they're flashing on the camera i mean if you look at the like the odometer looks like it's flashing too that's not happening in real life must be something about the frame rate of the camera so it is a 1000 gallon nurse tank trailer got the motor on it and everything and the pump and it's all ready to go it's got a nice long hose that comes from the pump hangs on this side goes across the back and hangs up right here so you got plenty of length to pull up to your tractor with we're gonna have the fill on the front of the tractor so we can basically just drive right up to the side of this tank and hook up to it there is one brand new tire on here um it's still got the little the little uh whatever your columns in there and then uh the other tires are still in really good shape they're not rotted or weather checked or anything but you can definitely tell that this this trailer was on gravel a lot like it's going to be with us but these tires should last quite a while they're good 10 ply tires so we will go through it a little bit in the shop i noticed that the the wheel bearings could use tightened up probably repacked with grease i see it does have turn signals brake lights etc the end of the cord is kind of messed up and some of the cord itself is messed up so i'm going to want to address that get that fixed up a little bit i see it does have a full tank of gas so i don't know um how long that's been in there i didn't try to start the pump motor at the auction because the fellow that owned this trailer was there and he told me that it runs really good and he's a guy that i know so i wasn't worried about it but maybe we should try to start it now huh well i think it's going to be a really good piece of equipment to have around glad we were able to get a good deal on it sometimes you run into these things and and it works out i'm really happy about the three inch direct plumbing right into the tank for filling it we'll be able to load this really quickly it's got a really nice heavy duty jack on it and believe it or not this part actually works the way it's supposed to it's not all stuck like most of these are at this point and the jack turns really nicely so i'm excited glad we were able to pick this up today hey just wanted to give you a quick update on how everything turned out with the other items on that auction yesterday i did have to get home i had chores to do and i had a birthday party i couldn't be late for so i signed up for online bidding and i followed along with the skid loader trailers the really good one brought 3 500 the uh the one with the cracked fenders a little bit longer one it brought twenty five hundred dollars and then there was a pretty ugly looking one with no fenders on it or anything and it brought twenty three hundred i think i can do better than that if i just kind of start watching facebook marketplace and craigslist i think i'm gonna find a better trailer than that for less money they just went really hot yesterday and i don't really need a sixteen thousand pound trailer um it'd be okay but i don't need that big of a trailer the skid loader isn't that big if we're just going to haul our skid loader or a couple lawn mowers on it doesn't have to be that big and long of a trailer also that 7700 john deere tractor actually sold for 38 000 which i think was a pretty good deal considering there was a 4440 just across the lane from it with more hours that sold for 27 000 or 27.5 i think that 7 700 was a pretty good buy actually anyway it was a great day for a farm auction the weather was absolutely perfect and we came home with something we really needed got it for a really good price i had a great time i hope you did too and i hope you'll be back next week that's gonna do it for this video as always thanks for hanging out i'll see you next time [Music] you
