Scrap metal property clean up.
Вставка
- Опубліковано 3 тра 2020
- 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.
Thanks! I fall into that trap sometimes too. That's how these situations start!
You've introduced me to a whole new world. Kinda envious watching you "play with the big toys." Made me feel like your young fella driving the rig. You made my day. Txs for sharing.
Life doesnt get any better than getting to drive a real buggy at that age. You can tell that's a memory he'll be sharing with his grand children some day
He's a good helper. Responsible and careful when driving.
Thats got to be a good feeling. Those woods will be better for wildlife, the metal goes on to reuse, and hopefully some cash for you. Loved the vision ofvthe crushing truck. Thanks for posting this.
Don't know why I put myself through so much torcher to watch this! Lol, hey great video. Just a little bummed to see a few of the things getting scrapped..
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.
Same:-(
Good video 👍🏻. Nice to see you have the young man learning and helping.
Thanks 👍
Love seeing the old cabovers especially ones with screaming Detroits or old Cummins motors

Perfektné Video 👍👍👍 Toľko starich autakov 👍👍👍skoro som zabudol tento palec hore je pre toho chlapca 👍👍👍raz s neho bude profík 👍👍👍
Thanks for sharing fun to watch
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.
You've pretty much convinced me to buy a grapple.
Its sure useful. Of the 3 attachments I have (grapple, bucket and forks), its the one that's used the most. You won't regret it! I'm running an electric diverter on the tilt circuit for my 3rd function. It works well.
Quite the clean-up! Nice one.
6:36, why, why, why??? 🙈🙈😓😓😓😫😫😫 Gradall G600, 6x4, a beautiful piece of history. Perfect for rebuild...
Some people can’t see life in anything old .
All into this modern stuff full of plastic and electrical stuff .
Gimme old stuff anyday .
Backhoe and the Gradall that was a dam shame
Made me made when you scrapped the blue service truck I've been looking for a old project truck just like it.
I know it's hard to tell on camera, but it had been in a swamp for 15+ years. Rusted far beyond saving.
Impressed by the capacity of the green JD tractors...
Yes it's pretty good, especially considering the grapple is 1000 lbs alone
The dummy in the crane seat , can’t drive at all he could do of steered that crane , and that Dover would of pulled it just fine, kool thanks , now you need to have an auction, you will be amazed what you would get out of all of that priceless stuff, thanks BigAl California.praise Jesus grace Christ amen 🙏.
Wow!
A Drott excavator.
You should fix that up.
That would make a nice museum piece.
Funny you mention that! A representative of the HCEA came to document it and take some pictures. Not many left I imagine.
Which one was the Drott excavator
@@majwood1 it's in another video. It wasn't scrapped.
@@majwood1Sorry.
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.
Here's a link to one busy at work.

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.
That's kind of where we're at with this place. I also have a lot of non-recyclables which is more of a problem, but the $ from the steel helps offset the cost of disposing of it. Thanks for watching!
that looks fun
It was a fun week!
The only thing I cringed was that old, probably General commerical table saw they pulled out of that trailer. That dozer firing right up was impressive. An old working dozer will always have value
It was a machine for making moulding
Nice cleaning.I hope you'd recycled it all.
Yes, all the steel, iron and aluminum is recycled.
My neighbor had a scrap yard he made boo coo bread but also guys he working fer they had got sticky stealing cars I would be right in middle of the stuff Detroit Michigan back in the day he has been long passed away
Isso é um ferro velho 👍👍
Hearing protection? Press operator 10 years . I wore ear plugs under ear muffs and It deafened me through the floor vibrations while standing on rubber mats.
Yes I should wear it when running the Terex. That 671 is wicked loud! I'd be surprised if I run it more than a couple hours a year though at least. Thanks for the suggestion
I just bought a John Deere 3025E and am needing advice on how to remove small pieces of scrap metal, tires, wires, etc located in deep grass. The only attachments I have is a front bucket and a bush hog
I personally cursed loud in beginning, when he took out that woodplaner.. Well, now it's scrap..
I did give that machine some thought before scrapping. Its a type of moulding maker. 600v 3 phase with a very specific purpose. What the video didn't show was the 60 year old jointer I rescued from the same space. 11' table. Its in my wood shop now awaiting some restoration, but it works.
that was a lot of iron oxide. looked like fun
That's Ontario for you! Yep was fun, and nice to clear up the property
"Got a bad case of iron root."
Stargate. The series.
Liked the Stargate analogy I'm rewatching them all and of course lots of these old equipment videos .I suppose the Aschin would have buried it instead of scrapping it lol.
I can't believe you junked the tractor backhoe there's a few things in there that you should have kept especially if they were your grandpa's
I would have gave 500 for that roof on the van
@@randywilson6869 Blah, blah, blah!
I know its sad :-(
But then the junkyards wouldnt have carbon credits to sell to the corporations who pollute the fuck out of everything.
What did this cleanup cost...and how much was made from recycling?
Not as much as would be made with scrap prices now. It was about cleanup not profit
Literally thousands of dollars worth of equipment and you sold it for pennies on the dollar for scrap look at all the time and effort you put into it...
How muxh u gwt for all that?
Sad when still good equipment is scrapped. History lost.
Ya, I wanted the tractors:(
I'm sure there were some bugs going, "Hey, Hey... Wait a minute!!!" *Q: HOW did he know that green Dozer was gonna start?!!! - **5:33* Hope they got the bodies out that van - 13:35
I don't believe you scrapped the red tractor. I have been looking for something to rebuild.
Hey, you're in luck! I have 3 others to choose from!
@@HeavyIronAcres what do you have
I believe they are case tractors. I'm East of Toronto.
I am sorry. I did not.know you was that far away from Illinois.
@@HeavyIronAcres dude what have you got as far as vehicles? Ive been dying for a project vehicle and I’m in Cambridge
in that property i saw a high value Truck Car and Van and also Multi Table saw .why the clean up with this destroy ?
@@davidwillard7334
Thank you for your kindly reply . Best regards from Iraq
Seeing that old 79 ford and cool van get crushed😢i would have at least saved the old hubcaps off the van😢
Staro gvožđe kupujemoooooooooo.
Up😁👍
Man, give the old girl some time to warm up
You broke the whole trailer
Hey where are you in Ontario? Oshawa here.
I'm near Bowmanville, so very close!
@@HeavyIronAcres Oh cool! I used to have a farm just north of Bowmanville by Tyrone. Was that Grade All total junk? The backhoe did not look that bad.
@@davebrittain9216 I saved the power pack from the gradall. It was never going to be road worthy again. Backhoe had rotten lines, tires, and a cracked engine block. Tried selling but no takers.
Guess I'm not the only one to see the Ontario plate lol. Campbellford here.
@@FullMetalFab Last time I was in the Cambleford area I was at an auction.
That poor gradall
😍😘😘
With the price of everything going up, now is a great time to scrap.
It is. This particular job was last year when the price wasn't as good, but had to be done. Now would be a better time.
Scrap range brass has gone up 60 cents in two weeks.
That would be a decent excavator if it was better taken care of
Didn't even strap that truck down super dangerous
Lol
There comes a time when cleanup has to happen and its not a salvage operation its a CLEANUP OPERATION and stuff has to go if somebody happens to be there who wants something we can talk about that but its got to be gone FAST or its going to the scrapper! I have been here and done this its sure a lot better looking when all the shit is gone!
Wow! Somebody gets it! Thanks! Yes it had to be done, plain and simple. I tried selling a few of those things separately, but no takers. Thanks for posting.
@@HeavyIronAcres your very welcome after the process is done it sure feels a lot better!
Can any body guess how much money was made off strap ???
For the owner? - close to nothing.
What a sad video. Hate to see equipment scrapped.
Bumblebee nnnnnnooooooooo 😱
Remember he's a Camaro now
HOW DARE YOU DISTROY THAT FORD TRUCK AT 2:40
nestpolluters in the usa
Please don't scrap any trucks. Sell them.
these people are all morons. its why they have properties full of valueables rotting away while they struggle to eat. too stupid to market any of this shit.
What a waste
Poor old Equipment...stupid work
I dont support it. I like to show than the antique cars rescue. Its a horrible.
Why do people so often park their garbage and fence rows like that?
There’s going to be a farmer mad as HE 🏒🏒, you tore up he’s field , nice , ol dozer, I’ll buy, I’ll give you 3000, for it , oh yeah , I love ol tractors 🚜 and trucks , I save all of them that I can , loll, I’m a scraper to, lolololo, nice thanks BigAl California.
You broke the whole trailer
