    Non Ferrious Load for Winnipeg

    Front of the truck is loaded with number 1 and 2 copper, clean brass, aluminum rims at the rear are what I have collected from the scrap cars I've hauled over the past 6 weeks.

    Front of the trailer is clean aluminum, then some stainless steel in the middle with AC rads at the rear with clean copper rads piled on top.

    Todays big score, 2 combines, along with some mucilaginous other farm scrap plus 3 cars. One from the farm clean up and two purchased from a walk in this afternoon.

    First scrap yard that I've even been too that has an ATM machine to dispense cash, after the guy give you your receipt there's a bar code that you scan in the ATM then the cash flows.

    To many variables to give you an estimate of the weight of a combine, pull type combine / self propelled, gasoline / diesel engine, tire size, header width and so forth.

    When I do process the old combine it will go into a mixed load onto my truck so we'll still be clueless as to what it grossed out for weight.

    Couple of combine weights I found on the net, same combine one with deluxe cab weighs more. Hope this helps to give you an idea of how heavy they are.
