Check out the prices the junkers are paying for stuff..

Gleaner combine $1500
LA Case $2000
GB MM $1500

How do they pay $500 a ton? I'm afraid that this junker will end up with most of the unrestored tractors and combines at those two big sales coming up in western Kansas in March..
Gleaner Combine
 

There has been a really tough scrapper coming out of Colorado for several years - and rarely misses a sale.

Seemed like he"s really backed off the last few months on what he"d pay for old iron, but for a while, I thought HE was really crazy on a lot of his purchases.

But he"s been at it long enough - I guess he"s either running on lottery winnings or making some money at it.

Sure not like back a few years ago when junk wouldn"t bring much of anything...

If Two Fat Brothers get out bid its going to China..If the brothers get it,its sold complete or parted out..
 
Yes,we are aware that its a free country..Lots of us love old tractors and combines and hate to see them all cut up..We cant pay $500 a ton for all of them..

The question is how does a junker pay $500 a ton,cut it up,haul it,and make a profit..Are they getting $700-800 a ton somewhere...Around here if you haul it to them its only $150-200 a ton...

I've heard rumors that the government gives them money if they can deliver so many tons a year..
 
Those old pull type combines were built strong, so quite a bit of metal in those. If it had a Ford Model C Industrial engine on it, the engines will fetch a good price from guys who use them to build airplanes similar to a Piper Cub. They might even have a standing order for those engines, which were made stronger than a regular Model A engine.
 
we know its a free country the question is is he a dummy or does he know something we dont plus it totally sucks to see good usable/parts machine cut up for scrap
