Tue February 18, 2020 - National Edition #4
CEG


For the third year in a row, Jeff Martin Auctioneers held its Kissimmee Auction in sunny Florida. The sale featured more than 5,000 lots including crawler dozers, excavators, dump trucks, truck tractors, cranes, compaction equipment, pickups, farm tractors, attachments, support items and more. The items were sold beginning on Feb. 10 and running through Feb. 13 at 5000 Oren Brown Road in Kissimmee, Fla.

To make the attendees as comfortable as possible (out of the burning sun and potential rain), the auction was simultaneously held under three tents, with each tent offering different sets of equipment. The machines were shown via video taken over the past month, once they arrived at the auction site. CEG
