- 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!

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.
Kids
AND THE SWING AWAY HOPPER thingie too!!! I woulda kept that part around for future projects... like when the new one gets run'ed over...??
ENJOYED WATCHING THE VIDEO BEN 😊
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!
Totally agree , pto shaft, hydraulic rams and hoses and some good straight lengths of reusable tube in the frame, can,t believe he scrapped it
Scrap prices must really be low.
Love using a hot knife. I think it is something primal is un.
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.
Oh man I hope it has the extra 5’ that would be massive!
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.
Fantastic comment, thank you!
Prepared scrap might have brought you more $ but your time is worth more than scrap metal
325
The bohemie in me is crying😂😂😂😂😂
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
Correct. Only $100/ton!
Scrap NEVER totals what you think it will. My guess was $425.
I’m figuring that out!
$300
250.
That was a really scrappy video. 😂
Scrappiest!
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.
😂😂😂😂
Should these things not be anchored down to protect from. Wind
This wasn’t wind
$333, use it to get safety glasses.
We had glasses on
He could’ve done a lot quicker with the 6 inch flat angle grinder lot, quicker less costly
150.
451
Should have saved the swing hopper tires. They looked like the airless ones😢
They were, but they were rotten. I inspected them.
$567.43
I think i stay collecting cans n bottles at 10 cents each, easy way of making money LOL. I make $100 month in recycling.
Not a bad way to go!

I woulda hadda keep the A FRAME... made a swing set out of it or something... lol
put an ADVENTURE HARNESS on it and @$#^@$%^&Yend of line....
8:20 nooo dude, you shoulda just UNBOLTED THE A FRAME LEGS!!! sigh...... but made for some good video I guess.... sigh
WERE THEY BENT & TWEEKED FROM FALLING???? they didn't look that bad... the main tube looks all buggereeeed up but the LEGS didn't look that bad from the CAMERA AMAGLE>>>
10:22 eh I see ONE bent leg but... eh...
It’s a time thing. We’re on the move this time of year. Time to cut it and get rid of it.
7:40 DUDE IF YOUR NOSE HAD NOSE HAIRS IT WOULD HIAVE HIT YOU (your nose hairs... it was THAT CLOSE!!!) WOAH!!!!
does he secretly wanna wallop you with a wrench???? that's what that psykoanalyst woulda said !!!
Where in world did you get that music ? ? That not exactly farming music !!!!!!!! 🤨
Neither is chew juice runing off your lip and crying over a dead dog 😀
Music is hard. That’s why I never have it in videos.
@@iowANFarmer oh you could put some mushuggah in and not hurt my feels one bit 😊 but seems like the copy right hammer comes out and its difficult avoiding it....Btw thanks for showing the tile work..I stumbled over jackson brothers farms I think in australlie, the have 2 d11s and do a pot load of countours and explain it pretty well...Keep on rockin the IA....
@@GhostRider-dp2tc those dozers are awesome!
Pathetic. Those rams, hubs, cables and pipe from was worth probably 4 times what ya got. Ahwell the throw away society. Welker boys and Fasty would have bad a use for most of it 😂😂😂😂😂
Totally agree with you, what a waste and even worse to publicise it on yt
Correct! It is worth it!
So we would have spent a day or two disassembling it correctly, then find somewhere to put it for storage where it would then sit there taking up shed space (costing money) where we would have to move it a couple of times (costing time) for 20 years. All in the hope that we might use one part off a wrecked auger!
To add to the fun, after 20 years we will want to declutter the place, because with the mentality of saving every scrap, your shed will fill up, and you’ll have no space, so you’ll eventually scrap it at that time! So you more than likely gain NOTHING and go backwards!
That auger was over 10 years old. Sat outside for the entire time, crashed to the ground so no telling what was damaged. We called a guy that deals in Augers and he wanted NOTHING to do with any parts. The rams were special with wheel welded on the end of them so they could only be used for one application. The cabling? Probably $50 worth new. We would have burned that up in labor getting it off for some old cable. I did save the wheels and lug nuts.
On top of that it wasn’t thrown away, it was recycled. Want to continue this conversation? Or still think I don’t think about things and just post them on the internet?
Salvaging a dropped auger yields mere peanuts. Sorry.
That’s what we have found out
Music is terrible
Agreed it’s absolutely terrible but you are extremely limited when creating videos on what music you choose.
@@iowANFarmer lol. I understand.
