  • Recovering and consolidating old vehicles, equipment etc for scrap. Generally a long overdue property clean-up. A variety of equipment was used including a 10t John Deere excavator, 55hp tractor with grapple and winch, a Terex bulldozer (671 detroit diesel - screamin jimmy), and a top-kick dump truck. Roughly 2 50' containers worth once it was smooshed and loaded.

    I like how you exercised your right, as the owner of all that scrap, to do with it as you please. People romanticize refurbishing a lot of old stuff but in the end 99% of it ends up sitting there rotting before one's eyes.

      Agreed, it was hard for me too! And since then there's been a bunch of times I've said, "Hey! I should've kept such-and-such a thing", but it had to be done. What was scrapped was only a portion.

    Was looking at 11 acres that is completely covered in scrap...
    They want way too much for it though.
    It's been up for sale off and on for 5 years.
    They must not be very serious.
    Between vehicles, scrap metal, abandoned trailers, etc. I'd have to spend $30k on equipment to use to clean it up. Probably spend another $20k to actually get rid of everything. Then the all cleaned up and replanted with grass it might be worth what they are asking. It's insane. Probably take a year to clean it up.

      That was not a Drott. That was a Gradall excavator, the one with the straight telescopic triangular shaped boom.
      Some Drotts were also odd looking but different than this.
      The Gradalls I think, were more popular for cleaning riverbanks and canals.

    My dad bought an old farm on back taxes back in the late 80's. The farm use to do onions & potatoes. All the equipment was still there & most left out in the fields. It was cool seeing all the old equipment. When all was said & done, we made money getting the farm.
