As a person who collects as well as hauls some scrap, I've sent a bit for shred.. However, when I take it in, I've usually sold every part I can off of it, and it usually wasn't much good to begin with.. When I was younger and hauling scrap in High School, I hauled in some things that I wish now I'd have saved, but hindsights are 20/20.

I would like to say the yard I haul to (and I've hauled a lot of stuff in over the last 2 months) I have yet to see a tractor in it.. It's not a big yard, and usually stuff like that sits right as you pull in. They used to sell that stuff to someone.. Maybe they still do.

What really IRKS me is the people who will take a RUNNING tractor (or one that wouldn't take a lot of work to make it run) and PART it out. Ok, so at least it isn't going for scrap, but someone could have saved it in it's entirety.

Now, some of the things that have gone to the shredder that I know of:

2- Massey 760 combines

1- Massey 750 combine

3- Massey grain tables 1- 6 row corn head

I've also saw quite a few gravity boxes, planters, and 2 other older smaller combines (too beat up to tell what) and some of the remnants of a small case tractor.

I know of a guy that has scrapped some f-series farmalls, a 800 case diesel, and a few other tractors.. Wasn't much of them, but they were still tractors.

What have I saved? well.. all but one of my tractors would have ended up as shred eventually, as my Allis D-17 was the only tractor I bought off the farm running working and ready to go.

Farmall H, Cub

Pair of Co-OP/Cockshutt E3/30's

Massey Harris 33

Case 930

Also a 4 bottom snap coupler plow I pull with my D-17 Allis,

14 foot Case disc

6 bottom Oliver round beam plow (that I helped cut the barn off of with chainsaws)

A set of front cultivators for my Massey

Massey self propelled corn picker

Next week I'm planning on going to purchase the last thing I'm going to buy for a while.. I found a home-build contraption.. but I don't want to give away too much till I have it paid for, and can post the pictures of it.

I've got to quit "saving" and take the money I'd buy with and hopefully put up a good sized barn next fall.. As well as finish up one or 2 projects.

Sorry to be long winded.. LOL..

Brad
