"We want to fill every inch of our now 220-acre site with the biggest and best used equipment available and we are well on our way," said Jeff Jeter, president U.S. Sales, Ritchie Bros. "We already have a massive selection of great late-model equipment and trucks—anything you could possibly need for an upcoming project — with plenty more gear still to be consigned and delivered before the auction starts on February 18."
