SCRAPING AN AUGER after it CRASHED TO THE GROUND! How much do we get in CASH!?

Last fall we had an auger come crashing down. We have been informed that it is our responsibility to get rid of it. That means get out the liquid wrench and cut it up and haul it in!

Probably flipped two 8 inch auger’s in my time. They made good chimneys for the shop and dairy barn that a frame would make some good fence post for medium size gates old tight wad here. Plus one heck of a wood splitter hydraulic cylinder.🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️😂. Broke my heart to see useful metal being scraped 😢😢. Thanks guys BE CAREFUL!

The pto shaft alone would cost more than 280 bucks to replace, not to mention 2 good hydraulic rams, hoses, cables and reusable structural tubes, looks a waste.

Scrap prices must really be low.

Love using a hot knife. I think it is something primal is un.

Insurance companies pay for damaged property and once they pay a claim on property (equipment, car, truck, motorcycle) they own it. You have an option most times to buy it back at salvage value (if desired). Once vehicles and other property claimed out you sign an affidavit signing over the ownership to the company. They sell it as scrap or sell it at auction such as co-part, vehicles, motorcycles etc. Farm equipment isn’t a sought after market compared to automobiles etc. unless they were tell an insured that you can keep the property and dispose of it. Most companies have their own way of going about this but most situations are similar.

The new MKX-2 13'' will have a fair amount more capacity then the MK had,I've got both, the swing hopper augers are geared up a little faster, you'll really like the power drive on the the swing hopper. Can't tell by the picture if its standard or extended swing, but the extended swing hopper "extra 5' of tube" you can dump both hoppers without moving the truck. The transition flexible tube between the swing and the auger cracked up badly and leaked on the the early MKXs after only a few years,maybe it's better now.

Prepared scrap might have brought you more $ but your time is worth more than scrap metal

[@JeremyStyninger]

Scrap NEVER totals what you think it will. My guess was $425.

[@randybedker1584]

325

[@howardhendrickson2933]

Probably would of got a bit more if you had cut down the auger more. The more cut down it is they generally pay a bit more because they don't have to mess with it qw much

[@raysloan792]

$300

[@iowafarmhandanf2266]

That was a really scrappy video. 😂

[@russelldill5316]

You would have made alot more money if you would have it down to 4 foot or less size pieces. They pay less for large pieces like that cause they have to cut them down to go thru the chipper.

He could’ve done a lot quicker with the 6 inch flat angle grinder lot, quicker less costly

[@user-zu8uh9xs8s]

250.
