what i do is ride around 4 wheeler trails looking for old junk cars and other metal stuff.. go back at night with my snowmobile trailer and pick it up and load it onto my big trailer and then pile er up! not stealing, i call it cleaning up the town! if it has weight, i pick it up, no matter what type of metal.

How about getting a "bumper" winch? Do you have a pickup you can drive in part way and pull them out? Put the wheels on sheets of aluminum and they'll pull easier.

My problem too. some are sunk in and there is no way my fourwheeler could pull them out. I was hoping to get some cutting torches and some oxy/acetylene but no cash right now. ill find a way to get them out someday somehow.. there is about 4 around my town i have my eye on
