Non Ferrious Load for Winnipeg

[gustavus]

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.

Awesome load. Any chance you could give us an extimate on what you get out of a combine? I live in a huge farming comunity and see allot of old combines.

YOu going to load your truck on the back of your new crane truck and drag the trailer home? Looking at that crane truck I know it would tick my neighbors off it I left that thing parked in front of the house

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.

17,200 kg (38,000 lb)
18,600 kg (41,000 lb)

I suppose the other 3000 was under the 2000 I counted. not bad. I'm sure you and your wife are quite happy
