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.
