As snow will soon start to stack up outside the window, we figured it’s the perfect time to talk traction — both on the slopes and in the marketplace. From the most rugged snow groomer we've ever listed to a major new selling format, here’s what’s new across the Aucto platform.
This thing is a tank — the kind of machine that climbs uphill with the efficiency of a factory conveyor running full-tilt on fresh bearings. If you’ve ever wished winter operations could feel more like carving Jay Peak’s off-trail powder, this one’s for you.
Powered by a Volvo Penta D13 12.75L turbo-diesel pumping out 510 HP and roughly 2,600 Nm at 1,200 rpm, the Alpine 510 pairs its muscle with an 11,000 kg frame, giving it unmatched stability in steep terrain (up to 45° inclines). The 12-way flexible blade (4.85 m closed width) and heavy-duty tiller (~4.4 m) deliver precision snow shaping, while smart hydraulics and joystick control make it surprisingly agile.
With just 1,560 hours on the clock and minimal wear, this alpine workhorse is listed now at $187,000 — or make an offer and see where the snow drifts take you.

We’re excited to welcome several new sellers who bring specialized expertise and fresh inventory to the platform:
NRG Solutions Group – Electrical contractor specializing in upgrading workspaces with energy efficient lighting solutions.
These teams expand the range of equipment categories available to buyers — from power generation to precision repair.
Our team has launched a library of training videos and training material to help both sellers and buyers get more from Aucto.
Whether you’re new to Aucto or just want to sharpen your efficiency, these step-by-step videos make mastering the platform easier than ever.
Our buyer network keeps expanding over 80+ countries. More companies are discovering that surplus and secondary assets aren't afterthoughts — they're strategic procurement channels. The buyers joining our platform come from industries we hadn't reached six months ago. They're placing competitive bids, closing deals faster, and coming back for more.
That shift matters. It signals a fundamental change in how businesses approach asset recovery and procurement. What was once a niche sourcing strategy is becoming standard practice.
To everyone participating in this shift: thank you. Every offer placed, every bid submitted, every deal closed moves us closer to the future we're building together.
Last week, we rolled out a new sales format built for flexibility: Best Offer.
Simple idea, big impact — sellers list their equipment with a set bidding period (around 10 days), and buyers submit their best offer. Once the window closes, the seller reviews all submissions and selects the best-fit buyer.
This format bridges the gap between “Buy Now” and live auctions, offering a fairer, more flexible experience for both sides.
Why we built it:
Buyers gain control over pricing with transparent, competitive bidding — no inflated fixed prices.
Sellers get faster liquidity and real-time market feedback from multiple offers.
The result? A more efficient, data-driven approach to valuing and disposing of assets — exactly what Aucto was designed to deliver.
From slope-climbing groomers to platform innovations, November’s all about momentum. More assets, more tools, and more ways to turn excess equipment into opportunity.
Until next time — stay warm, stay efficient, and keep the deals moving.
