It's the most anticipated auction every year: 200 acres filled with rows upon rows of equipment and trucks, ready to be sold. And from Feb. 15 to 19, thousands of people will converge upon Ritchie Bros.' Orlando auction site hoping to buy just the right piece to add to their fleet. Thousands more will be bidding online.

Thousands of items from every sector and price range will be sold unreserved, including a large selection of late model, low hour Caterpillar, Komatsu, Volvo, John Deere, International, Freightliner, and Terex equipment.
