    A lot of what I have learned has been posted on several threads about this project. To summarize on torches, in my shop I use acetylene but keep propane tips and bottles handy. This is for the ability for precision cuts and to be able to weld when needed. For scrapping farm equipment in the field propane or petrogen torches would be my choice. Petrogen equipment is expensive and I would not consider it if I already did not have access to it. As far as demolition or salvage work, petrogen is the most cost effective in my opinion. Learning to use the equipment properly is the challenge, but Petrogen Inc. provides great customer support.



    Pnutfarmer, thank you for the insights. I appreciate all insights and advise.
