Sorry Oldiron29, but I have a serious problem believing that.
At best scrap steel is $300 a ton. That's what the buyer at the boat will pay for it. Everyone that touches it between the farm and the boat has to make a piece, so scrap buyers at an auction would be foolish to pay more than $200-$225 a ton.
They gotta haul it, remove anything that is NOT scrap steel, cut it up into manageable pieces, and send it on its way.
If a collector isn't willing to pay at least $225 a ton for a restoreable tractor, there is something seriously wrong with the system.
