Yoder & Frey held its final sales for 2017 in Atlanta, Ga., on Dec. 5 and Ashland, Ohio, on Dec. 7 attracting record numbers of bidders to the sales from not only across the United States, but from a global audience.

"We were extremely pleased with how the two sales went," said Peter Clark, founder and CEO of Yoder & Frey. "Selling was strong at our Atlanta sale with great interest in the equipment of Mitchell Contracting and the Ashland auction was the best we have ever had with the highest hammer total, most bidders and most new registers for this auction. 2017 has been an extremely good year for Yoder & Frey and we have seen momentum build at all our sales across the U.S. and our merger with Euro Auctions, the largest auction house in Europe, has helped us generate greater interest and also reach out to more international and domestic buyers. We are working hard to make sure 2018 will be an even better year."

A key feature of the Atlanta, Ga., auction was the inclusion of liquidation stock from Mitchell Contracting Company LLC and the overall sale comprised a good mix of earth moving equipment, trucks and trailers. Of particular note were a 2017 Caterpillar 320FL excavator that went for $155,000 and a 2011 Caterpillar 312D that achieved $45,500. A choice of 2011 John Deere 310J loaders that were in excellent overall condition also generated significant interest, eventually going under the hammer for $29,500.

Consignments to the Ashland, Ohio, auction included the liquidations from CKS Pipeline Contracting LLC and others and there was a good proportion of unused equipment. In addition to an unused Gehl 1640 mini-loader, which went for $13,500, there were used Caterpillar and Bobcat models plus John Deere backhoes that collectively provided a choice of vehicle sizes and capabilities.

Telehandlers and loaders also were in good supply at this auction along with an array of rollers. The choice included an unused Wacker Neuson RD27‑120 that created particular interest and achieved $23,500 while unused Caterpillar CB24B's achieved $32,500 and unused Bomag BW120AD-5 $30,000. Bidding on a choice of low-hours 2017 Doosan DX225LC also was brisk with the final hammer being $95,000.

The surprise lots were an unused Barford TR6536 Tracked 65 ft. by 36 stockpile conveyor that went for $50,500 while a choice of unused Barford W5032 Wheeled 50 ft. by 32 conveyors went for an average of $10,000. The majority of the vast array of miscellaneous pieces of small equipment also sold well with a number of real bargains being had.
