Went for a washer and drier and got...

**CMHN** · 09-03-2011, 01:26 PM

So my first load from the farm is complete, I cleaned up the area where my client wants to level and put a gazebo and this is what I brought home.

My trailer loaded

My Truck loaded with BBQ grills and other goodies.

A 3 point hitch back blade.

This is a pull behind sprayer with a 3.5hp brigs motor.

I believe this is a harrow, its also a 3 point hitch.
If you look behind it you can see a couple coils of cable.

I see many of you are worried about me paying the lady, first she hasn't asked for any and she is more than happy to get rid of the clutter around her property. It is a real mess. Now with that being said, although I wont be giving her any money I will be giving her some of my time, she has 2 large pine trees that came down during Hurricane Irene and she asked if I knew anybody that could cut them up and clean up the mess. I told her that I will do it for her at no charge. She was very appreciative of everything I am doing for her. I figure if she would have to call someone in to cut the trees up it would cost her about $250 each. It will only cost me a few gallons of gas, a couple chains, and about a days worth of time. I feel it is an even trade.

My next load will be Tuesday or Wednesday with I go up with my friend with his rollback to grab the car. He is going to pay me $150 for the car.

Stay tuned for more progress and pictures.

A friend of mine does tree work, so I know what it can run. You doing it free for her, in exchange for all the scrap metal, is fair.

Is he a junk yard guy? Normally, they are the only ones that will pay scrap yard prices or better for cars. Just curious.

Depending on how big it is, $150 is about right. I know the prices here will range from $150 to $300 depending on what the price is for the day.

My friend has been in the business for many years, long before I born. But he goes around and buys junk cars form people, strips them down for parts and scraps the rest. I have helped in his yard a few times stripping cars, its pretty fun.

Well, I run this from my home, so I have just always removed the tires, and battery, and drained the fuel tank.

So my question is, if you don't mind, what do you generally strip out from the cars to make it worth your time, and what do you do with the stuff that has been stripped?
