I have heard from a friend of mine that works with CAterpillar that McAninch has downsize quite abit.I can understand where they are coming from.I was part of a family owed construction company,we got out of the business about 3 years ago.We had all the big stuff 992"s,5110,773"s,TS-24's with all the support equipment that went along with it.We had no payment books on anything,everything was brought and paid for.The company was started by my grandfather around 85 years ago.so we had a good run at it.Myself and my 2 brothers decided one day that there was something with this picture.We were losing work to other companys that were doing it for less than cost. Our father used to say he quit doing work for charity after his first job.Mike
McAninch has had two auctions at the Des Moines shop that I know of getting downsized. They've moved their offices to the same building as their shop. (Their shop would be the envy of many dealers)
They're still out there moving dirt...just not as big as before.
Our channel highlights machines from the earliest Holt and Best track-type tractors, equipment from the start of Caterpillar in 1925, up to units built in the mid-1960s.
