I bought a tractor from them on there auction on 10-17 I went to look at it and pay for it someone hade stole parts off of it and all they said there is nothing they can do about it I hade saw stuff like this happen with other auctions and they made it right with the person so scene they won't do anything about it I'll no longer be going back to any of their auctions

This is a great place to get good used equipment at a fair price. During the annual July sale they make sure plenty of water is available so customers can stay hydrated. They also provide a large tent with tables, chairs, & fans to provide a shaded, cooling area.

I was at Wheelers last auction March of 18' and I lost my bidder number which I did not want some person picking up and bidding with. so I went back to the Wheeler staff I revived my number from she did not get upset about me losing my number but gave me a new number and took the old one out of the computer so no one could use it. Thanks!!!

I've done business with Chas for about 14 years now and can honestly say I've been happy with every outcome of every situation we've been through. He sells used machinery and you are a gamble buying used but he will always be as honest and forthcoming as he can with you.
