Rescued an ATFerrel Super 298D grain cleaner. I wish I could have gotten in sooner.

That is really neat . Are you planning on using it ?

db4600 · May 14, 2023

It goes to Junkshow for now. We already have a comparable cleaner. I just couldnt let it be smashed.

Patsdeere · May 14, 2023

Wonder what else was there that didn't get
saved....

Nice , good story there !

I learned how to clean fescue with one of those and a carter
disc mill. Thanks for saving it.

Thats fantastic. And the photo of the mill being torn down
behind it really tells a story. I wonder how did you ever find
out it was there? Dave

Good save. Did you get any screens with it? That is a good cleaner and is still worth a good bit of money. I
was thinking about getting something like that to clean my rye but Rockyridge Farm has a nice portable one
and I hire him. Tom

Unfortunately we didnt get screens. This was in Hector Minnesota. A long time and good member of Junkshow called a couple shows to test the waters. My trailer was hooked up so I got there first. Maybe Jeff in ND is familiar with this neighborhood.

A quick search revealed that ATFerrel was and still is a reputable industrial cleaner manufacturer. Not something typically found at a farm auction.

I would not want to be around there later by the looks of that demolition job. I'm guessing there is a long reach machine somewhere out of
the picture. Sure is some beautiful wood going to waste.

I had to take a double look at your pictures, the Ewing Mo
Coop is taking down their old system but they are
salvaging most of the wood

''I'm guessing there is a long reach machine somewhere out of

LOL!

The second it began to fall.

It was taken down by fearless folks from a Hutterite Colony.

WOW, thanks for the video. I think I would not want to take out the first corner let alone the second one. I would be more inclined to have a few cables wrapped around that last corner and pull from a distance instead of being that close. Wonder what conditions were set up to be able to be on the RR tracks.
