Why are front loader washers so heavy?

In this video I'm going to tear down a front loader washer so you can see why they are so heavy. Enjoy.

Some yards have a magnetic / dirty stainless steel category pays a little better than sheet iron

... because usually there is a concrete block in the bottom of them... Not watching the video to find that out. Tear one apart and you'll know.

If the tub is stainless you can sell them for more than scrap. People make backyard fire pits out of them.

Thanks for the tip hobo finds I'm going to call around a few yards and see if they will pay me as that.
In other videos I have heard the same.

I'm going to try to list them in craiglist or any other places and see if they sell as fire pits.
