:mecry:I went to the scrap yard today to cash in on some old junk metal i collected this past week. As i was unloading my trailer another truck backed in beside me. I was not paying much attention to the the young man unloading this truck. He finished unloading before me and pulled away to go back on the scales. i continued to unload my trailer and as i did i seen a LARGE trackhoe heading for the pile of things that young man had just unloaded. As i quickly scanned the pile, I seen what looked to be a very nice JD lawn trailer being run over by the trackhoe. If i had only been a little more nosy and seen it sooner i could have saved it!!! Now i can only sit here and say WHY!!!! Why would someone trash something for pennies when with just a little more effort and a free posting somewhere could have gotten so much more???
That sucks, it is amazing how some could care less and don't think about somethings value. Even if it isn't a whole lot, it could mean the world to someone else. As the old saying goes: "One man's garbage is another man's treasure".
Might have to start being more nosy LOL.

I just don't understand why someone would scrap things that are worth so much more. I was at a farm auction today and the scrappers where there to buy up good usable equipment to scrap. Being out of work myself i was not able to buy anything to save it from the scrap pile but i was glad to see that another person was able to buy the only GT up for sale. It was in very bad shape( cub cadet 14?? hydro) For the price the man paid he must have been a collector or looking to part it out.
