Highest Bids of the 60th Anniversary Nitke Auction: Spring 2025 Auction Recap

The 60th Annual Spring Nitke Contractor Auction wrapped up on Tuesday, April 30, celebrating six decades of auction excellence with another smooth and successful event. This long-standing tradition once again brought together thousands of bidders from across the country, both in person and online.

Over the four-day auction, bidders had the opportunity to inspect equipment up close, place their bids, and reconnect with fellow contractors, buyers, and sellers. 

Guests were treated to more than great equipment—coffee, cake, prize drawings, and plenty of friendly faces made the auction a great experience!

More than 2,700 lots were sold, offering everything from chainsaws and attachments to large-scale machinery, trucks, trailers, and contractor equipment. The variety and quality of the items kept things exciting from start to finish.

Some of the highlights from this year’s auction included:
