Ok, I have a question for you gentleman...I have been pretty heavy into the equipment videos instead of pics for awhile now and I was lookin for your thoughts.

I have had quite a few people on YT email me about doing some walk around videos. So what are your thoughts on this? There is a RB auction coming up this week and I will be there for videos so do you guys think it's worth the time for walkarounds?

I figured I would grab some walk arounds anyways with some of the iron you don't see everyday like the Deere 650D-LC, 627G, maybe a D8T, a pipelayer, they have a couple big cranes there. What else would people be interested in seeing?

I don't really see the point in doing a walk around of a Case 580 or a Deere 310... I have already seen a video of Tony Soprano doin that this week so it doesn't interest me. But what would you guys want to see? This auction has a TON of iron at it so I could probably get anything you want. About the only thing they are lacking is big dozers or hoes, but they have lots of scrapers, wheel loaders, backhoes, hoes, pipelayers.

So what can we add to the list? I have the following so far.

JD 650D-LC
Cat D8T
Cat 627G or 631E
maybe a rock truck..... anything else?

Sincerely..... Loverboy

450's are coming from Brandt Tractor, they were all the returned machines from North American.

Haha I can do that. I'm still waiting on VantageTes to give me a more thorough walk around of that dodge pickup. He explained how the HVAC controls work... but im puzzled by the big round know on the entertainment center controls....:drinkup
