Farm Equipment Perfect For Scrapping

The summer months are the busiest times for farmers as they have the consistently nice warm weather to feed their crops. Just like with any equipment you have, over time there will be signs of wear and tear and eventually the vehicle or equipment piece will stop working all together. Instead of throwing them away, you should take them to a local scrap metal yard to see if the parts can be scrapped. Not only is this a more proper way of disposing your not longer working farming equipment but it is a great way to get some extra cash in your pocket.

What Kind Of Farm Equipment Is Good for Scrapping

Farming equipment and vehicles come in all shapes and sizes. When they have reached the end of their useful life you should gather them all together to take to a local scrap yard. the easiest way to get the most bang for your buck is to look to see if any of your heavy and old farm scrap. While the smaller pieces are great to scrap together, one single heavy equipment could give you much more money for the metal. The types of farm equipment you should consider to be scrapped include:
  • Reapers
  • Reaper-binders
  • Portable Engines
  • Ploughing Engines
  • Traction Engines
  • Steam Tractors
  • Agricultural Engines
  • Hog Oilers
  • Flails
  • Threshing Machines
  • Winnowing Machines
  • Drag Harrows

A great thing about farm scrapping is that it doesn't have to necessarily be narrowed down to just heavy equipment and vehicles. As long as there is ferrous metals to be scrapped, they will be taken. Instruments used in farming that are also made from non-ferrous metals include:
  • Old Implements
  • Rusted Plows
  • Combines
  • Tractors and Tractor Parts
  • Extra Metal From Old Repairs
  • Tubular Steel 
  • Plate Steel
