Farm Clean-out with lots of scrap metal 

Brother Scrapper, you are all over it. I'm a novice at this... more a hobby for me. Glad I found yourself channel. Oh, and keep the language. Makes your channel genuinely authentic!

Now that was a MISadventure! UGH! Awesome video my friend!

I did farms for 12 years all over Eastern Iowa...back when we were getting just shy of $300/ton. First year I had a setup like yours, just a pickup and a trailer. Loaded by hand or with comealongs or if they'd load me was a bonus. I made enough that 1st year to buy my first skidloader, a gooseneck flatbed and a dump trailer plus a second truck. Paid for. By year 5 I had 4 trucks n trailers and a nice S300 Bobcat with solid tires. By the end i had a track Bobcat and several guys hauling so i could just stay on the farms and get materials dug out to load the next guy. Bought a grapple for the skidloader and just went to town on these big farm cleanups. Century farms were the best ones...nothing thrown away for 100 years or more. Kids didnt want nothing to do with the farm so guys like me get called in to clean up before the farms went for sale. I miss doing those for sure.

I would never let someone load onto my equipment without me being there. An agreement for them to pay for damages would be something to consider doing in the future.

That definitely looked like an adventure! Keep smiling brother!

Great video man your friend Shawn dragon from Staley nc

Behind your trailer is grill inserts for a Studebaker worth a thousand or two that sucks all in days work 👍

A lesson well learned for you and all of us watching. That job sucked. .

Looks like that car on the bottom of the front of the trailer had a copper radiator

Man $220/ton for tin is absolutely incredible. I’m @$100/ton.

Hard living

Bolt the license plate to the metal fender. Wont lose it ever again

Never let someone use your equipment unsupervised. There be real world class morons out there.

how a bout a dumpster and a trailer ...be great for gigs like this ..... scarp it up

Dont think your mic was on mike. Nonetheless, scrap does get labor intensive. Its definitely is fun though. I think thats what most people who scrap dont realize. How labor intensive it get but how fun it is.

Can you bolt ur license plate to the fender?

If only metal paid more the harder you worked for it lol! Ya win some ya lose some. Are you employed outside of scrapping?

If you're doing this job for the scrap. Then why don't you just walk away?

GET YOU A METAL DUMP TRAILER .

Save something for the baby to do and stop crying
