NORTH BEND, Ore. - After seeing huge success with their first ever event of it's kind in this area, a national heavy equipment auctioneer is back for more, and is hoping to draw in an even bigger crowd.

In April, "Cowboy Up Auctioneers," hosted their heavy equipment auction at the Mill Casino-Hotel.
    
According to Cowboy Up CEO Cole Davis, the auction drew in a crowd of almost 500 people and an additional 1,000 bidders on-line.

It also generated millions of dollars for companies selling off their unused equipment.
    
Now the auctioneer is doing it again, but will be featuring some different equipment this time around.

"Last one we had the big excavators. We will have some excavators, but we will head more towards the trucking lines, we'll have more of the transportation side. We're gonna have a lot more of the mining stuff in this one. Last one was much more construction based, this one will be more industry specific," said Cole.
    
The equipment is being set up this week, in the empty lot next to the Mill Casino-Hotel.
    
Davis says there will be a fixed preview which is open to the public this Thursday and Friday.
    
The auction will take place on Saturday morning at 9.
    
Davis says they are also looking for businesses who might want to auction off some of their equipment.
