Forget DEF and sensors for a minute, look at this Massey-Harris No. 1 crossing the block.

After wrenching on complex modern machinery all week, seeing something like this pop up in the Wembley auction lineup is incredibly refreshing. Gas engine, steel wheels and absolutely zero computers to troubleshoot. Just raw, unbreakable mechanical engineering from the ground up. It is wild to think about how much the industry has evolved since this was the standard. Who else loves seeing these running pieces of history mixed in with all the late model yellow iron?

That 2016 Mack GU813 twin steer dump truck looks like an absolute workhorse.

505hp Mack diesel, Allison auto, heated box, and over 277k miles still ready to grind. Always had a soft spot for these heavy duty Mack setups.

Amaranth, Ontario, Canada
Lot #1562
Ritchie Bros Auction

Anyone here run a GU813 before? Curious how they hold up long term in heavy hauling.

Biggest crawler loader Cat has ever built. 275 horsepower. 66,000 lbs. Full cab, AC, rear camera, double grouser tracks and a 117 inch bucket. And it is a 2018. Not some dinosaur. A 2018. This is the kind of machine that makes grown men go quiet and start doing math they can not afford. Full IronPlanet inspection with IronClad Assurance so at least you know exactly what you are getting into. It is sitting in Somerset Pennsylvania if anybody's close enough to go drool on it in person. Only flag I'd throw is the DEF system. Machine this size eats through fluid and if the previous owner wasn't on top of maintenance it becomes a headache real fast. Other than that though? This thing is serious iron. Anyone run a 973K before? How do they hold up long term?

Okay I need to talk about this listing on Ritchie Bros. because my brain will not let it go.

It is a 2020 John Deere 6195M 4WD -195hp, only 5,452 hours, fully loaded with an enclosed cab, A/C, air ride seat, 16F/16R PowrQuad transmission, suspended front axle, 3 rear remotes, 1000 PTO, HID lights, rear wheel weights and a JD 680R Loader with a 98-inch grapple bucket already on it. That is a ready to work machine right out of the gate. The best part? Full maintenance history is on file. No mystery, no surprises. Ritchie Bros. also had their inspectors physically verify the engine, drivetrain and hydraulics, all checked out good. That kind of transparency is hard to beat when you are buying auction equipment. 95 photos + a 360° spin view on the listing too. You can basically walk around the thing from your couch. If you are in the market for a solid mid size utility tractor without rolling the dice on condition, this one's worth a serious look. What are you guys watching on Ritchie Bros. right now?

They look small at first but then you realize they can fit into tight spots where bigger machines ca not even get close. Seems perfect for indoor jobs, tight sites or anything with limited access.

This John Deere 872GP is all power and precision. Big blade, smooth control and that clean finish every time. Not flashy.... just gets the job done right.
