    agreed %100, rent a skid steer with a grapple if you know how to run it and you can do the work of 20 to 30 men, just use your trailers to take home the stuff you want to break down

    Unfortunately, when it comes to heavy or any type of machinery, I know squat about them. But if necessary, I make a phone call, I can have some solutions for sure.

    Thanks to a post a made to my new facebook fan page recently, a lady emailed me the name and number of her husband who loves classic cars, farm stuff, machinery, etc.

    Plus, last time I put an ad on craigslist in the farm and garden section, I got several good hits.

    gb, i try to support you i really do, but you say you will hook them up with the donuts AFTER you talk to them and what you work out????????? As far as the loader they are not that hard to learn to operate, it takes years to be expert but you can get the basics in a few minutes. when learning you will scatter stuff from one end to the other and dump your bucket and dump out a little piece of steel. if your operation is as big as im thinking it is it would be in your best interest to learn. if its not too late take the donuts before you talk to the guy with the scrap and at the scrap yard, good luck
