I hate seeing that also, but the price for scrap makes it worth it. I recently did a property cleanup from a bank owned property. There were 16 tractors on site. Banker told me to take to scrap. Told him that I would take the tractors for payment instead. Most of them were complete non runners that have sat for 10 plus years. Advertised on this site and did sell 12 of them the last couple of months. Decided to take a 1950 JD B with a model 35 loader to the monthly consignment auction on Tuesday a 100 miles away. Auction was yesterday, only got $400.00 for it minus the 15% fee. Called the scrap yard this morning what scrap metal is going for. Was quoted $225.00 per ton. Scrap yard 22 miles away. I would have done better taking that tractor to scrap versus auction (fuel cost/fees). Hate to do it, but I will be taking the other tractors to scrap next week if I don't sell them soon. P.S. I couldn't get any more than $1500.00 for my 1940 M Puller, so I bidded and got it back. I have over $12,000.00 invested on it.
