Free for Pickup: Large Farming Thing just waiting to be scrapped!

[techres]

Yeah, this is a bit of a strange post, but I figured, "why not?". Friend inhereted a farm in Bedford and with it the large remains of a machine that he does not need and is happy to have someone haul off for scrap if anyone has the means.

It is big (that handsome model in the pic is my son who is eight and about 4.5' tall). It is also rusty and dead. There is an access road that is big enough that a pickup could get to where this thing sits. Here are pictures of it taken with a cheap cell phone:

Anyone in Bedford have a want or use for it? If so, let me know and I will get contacts going.

Since it has rusted, I assume it is steel. As for weight, no idea at all.

I'd agree, if you were closer I'd prob do it.

Steel Scrap of that type ~$300.00 a ton, wait a year ir so and maybe ~$500, last year $600 or better.

It at least weighs a ton maybe 2-3. (Edit no ~1 ton)

Someone will gladly come and get it and PAY you for it...

The best that I was getting last year was $310 per ton for scrap. Right now, the price is under $100 per ton.

Where did you get your prices?

Most definitely, most have a briggs type engine on them. At least the one we had did, man do I miss baling hay.

I've seen them, never used one. Dad and me always did it the old fasioned way. He'd be on the wagon and throw the bales up to me in the hay mount, and I'd stack. It got harder for him as he got to the bottom of course, but he always got it up there. I miss baling hay.

ok, i have a truck and motivation, if someone has an oxy-acetylene cutting torch and wants to tackle this with me, I'm game. I've located a scrapyard relatively close to this, place closes at noon though.
