Auction GAMBLE, Ritchie Bros Gets me Good!

That Mack's a huge step forward for Diesel Creek for not a lot of money. Congrats.

Awesome purchase! Glad Scrappy talked you into it. Thanks for taking us along

For a second hand truck, that's in really good condition. For a 25 year old second hand truck, that's in amazing condition. If the parts we can't see have been as well looked after as the parts we can see, that's an absolute steal for the money. Matt, it is eyecatching, because it's so clean for it's age!

Keep your trees. Trees are good. You don't need a Walmart parking lot to have a functional shop.

When my unit made it to Iraq (2003) we ended up in some fabrication shop/warehouse as an operations base. The big score though was there were gas powered welders all over and a giant Lincoln like the one in the auction. So we used it as a generator and it powered our tent lights, water cooler, laptop, and whatever else we got our hands on. That was one perk of being a mechanic in a field artillery unit. Nobody questions where you got all the amenities, especially when we built a shower and we could clean off after missions.

You think Sam had some ulterior motive for pushing Matt into that tractor? "Sorry can't make it today, Matt; but you can come get the lowboy."

Full grown Big Dog. That's a forever truck. Congrats Son.

The Mack is OUTSTANDING. That's the only thing involved. Incredible.

That row of Penske trucks single handedly just proved flat earthers wrong.😂

It never ceases to amaze me that you can buy a great truck for the same price you'd pay for a high mileage, beat up minivan. What an awesome purchase!

Sam I drove a standard twin screw Mac for a lot of miles and that is definitely a standard dash control panel set up. Matt you absolutely got a sweet steal on the tractor I put close to 700,000 miles in the last one I drove I actually got choked up when they got rid of it watching you pull in to the farm brought back a lot of memories I’m retired now so that was nice. I babied that truck the guy who drove it on my days off got a sub truck one night and refused to drive he told them could eat off the floor of my truck and there’s no way in hell he’s driving a trashed out tractor. Man that is so cool seeing your truck thanks for that.

Appreciate the fact that you share prices, predict prices on possible equipment, and show the results. It really adds to the auction experience. Great purchase today!

Love that buy! You stole it!! Give it a little maintenance, break out the steam genie, and polish the aluminum. Slap some Diesel Creek logos on it and you are set. I know it isn't a classic like the Autocar, and like you said, is pretty common, but that is good for a tow rig. Easy to get parts and should be reliable.

I like how Matt has the keys for all of the equipment 😂

The Mack is AMAZING. That's all there's to it. Amazing.

You've got such a knack for turning every adventure into a story worth telling! Your ability to navigate through surprises with humor and resilience is truly remarkable. And im am floating village life.

“You never know what you can’t live without” - DC I’m right there with ya buddy. My wife though, doesn’t agree with us! 😂

By todays standards, you got a steal on it. You and Scrappy together will have a great retriever for your old iron.

That fire truck is from Minnesota! Spring Lake Park, Mounds view, and Blaine are NW of the twin cities!

Ritchie Brothers lookout!!!! Matt's Auction house is up and coming!! LOL The Mack is definitely a good buy for what you do with a truck. It's got a lot over the Autocar, such as more comfort, air conditioning, and parts availablity. Plus a good scrubbing and some polish, she'd be one fine looking rig.
