All right, guys. I'm here back at the yard with our series on how to buy used equipment. And today, it's how to buy used skid loaders. And Tim and Alex and I are going to go through these things with a fine tooth comb with you and show you the things that we look for. And then if you want more information, I'm going to suggest you go down to the comments cuz there's tons of people that have amazing stories and lots of great points that they like to share. So that's the beauty about these videos. But part of the thing too that we're doing is over at the Dirt Monkey shop, we now have a repo section. We're working with a company called Yes Leasing. And Tony from Yes Leasing told me just yesterday his he said that he will finance just about anybody. If they can fog a mirror and tell a good story, he can get them financing for heavy equipment. We have an entire section of repoed used equipment for sale with financing. So if you guys want to be able to buy this thing and your financing is not the best, don't worry about it. Yes, Leasing can take care of you over there. And we're also working at getting a second finance company on board that has more of a typical arrangement. So maybe your credit isn't bad, maybe your credit is halfway decent and you want a better rate. We're going to have options for you over at the Dirt Monkey Shop. And these options also apply to a lot of the equipment that we sell over there. But Tim Tim, as you and I, we've we've gone through and bought plenty of skid loaders and I bought some duds. I bought some I bought a T-Rex. That was the worst dud skid loader that I've ever bought in my life. And you remember that machine and we didn't do our due proper due diligence because it was bought sight unseen. And everything that we were told turned out to be fabrication, right? Yeah. Tell me about the oil. When you checked that oil, it was the sudiest oil I've ever seen. So you you could put it on your finger and you'd roll it and it was gritty and it would stain your fingers immediately. Like just instead of being o in diesel oil, it was like grease. It was like grease. It was bad stuff. And then we changed the oil on it and it ran for maybe a half hour and the oil was almost the same condition it was
