I'd love to have that T6, but I expect there is 1/2 of the U.S. seperating us.

Both have blades and one has a winch.Gonn cut a running D-7 Cat up too. Hoss

I'm about 1 1/2 hours away in Maine.

How much are you going to need for each?

Feel free to send an email if you'd rather not post a price.

You gona make a lot of grown men cry if you cut them up, Please post some photo adds first , Give some one a chance to keepm them going. I need two dozers for my TD6's. we are just to far apart or I would take them in a heart beat.

So where in Maine? Heck, I am 30 miles from Kittery but Madawaska seems like it might be as close as Labrador or Newfoundland particularly in the winter. You really need to stop teasing us or lay on some decent descriptions and multiple pictures.

Much as I hate to see old iron go to scrap, it's seriously not cool to threaten to cut them up as a sales tactic. Seriously, not cool.

As much as I hate to know it (scrap being sold to China), its just bringing too much $$$ not to. Its all about the money, and when you can't get anything for it reasonablly close to what the scrap brings, you gotta cut it up and let it go. We're probably about to cut up our P&H 15-ton Truck Crane we've owned for the last 35 years. Grandfather retired and quit using it 10 years ago (still a good machine), but heck, its a 1948 model 6 wheel drive crane and no-one wants the thing. To big and heavy to move. It will just bring too much in scrap and not to go that route would be foolish, although I'd like to see it "reborn" and used again. We've got boom extensions, a jib, an electromagnet, block and tackle, and all kinds of stuff that goes with it.

On a lighter note, these tractors that people actually use and are still a market for is what I LOATHE when people scrap them. Just makes it harder and harder to find parts and implemnts for them and makes them cost more. For example, a set of cultivators in Texas from Sam will cost you $1,500......and thats simply due to most of that stuff winds up in scrap yards and they aren't making any more of it. It won't be long until that will be a normal price for that stuff. The IH planters are already getting that way for the Cub and Super A tractors.

I AM NOT trying to jackup any prices!!!I thought I might help someone out!They are not my machines anywho.The guy asked me to help him cut a yard full of junk.You make me want to go cut em up right now ! I dont really give a hoot! Hoss

Hoss,

I don't think you are for real. No location, no email address, no indication if owner will sell below, at, or above scrap price. This is no way to do business.

Be careful you don't drop something heavy on your foot or your buddy doesn't drop anything on your head. Now there is a good reason for liquidation without separation.

Most junkers will sell for scrap price FOB. I have bought more than one thing like that before. They are happy bc they don't have to waste the time, torch gas to cut it up, separatem or haul it. You are happy bc you bought it by the ton.
I am buying two moldboards like that as soon as they thaw out. I weigh at the mill on my way in and then weigh on my way home. The guy trusts me enough to just mail him $150/ton.

Hey....you gotta do what ya gotta do to make a sell and make money. Its all about making money, and if both parties are happy about the deal it don't matter what it takes to make it happen. There are just different tactics and ways to make a sale.....its called being a Good Salesman. Been there, done that....haha, I've often been told I could "sell an eskimo an icebox".

This reminds me of my cattle hauler selling his trailer. He has a 28' or so aluminum gooseneck. A really big one for doing commercial cow hauling. He said he was going to scrap it and buy a new one. I said, "We'll, it would be plenty good for me even if it is worn out. What do you need for it?" He said he took it in to the yard in Janesville and they weighed it and gave him a price of $7000!!! He would have to take the axles and a few other mild steel things off, but there is no way you could compete with the junk man on that one. On the upside, you know what it will bottom out at!
