You will have to be aware of the oil inside. It may or may not be contaminated with PCB's. There is also a considerable amount of copper, brass and iron inside. It can be done with small equipment, but be prepared to spend some time. I can't quite tell from the picture but often you can unbolt the top and remove the core (after you drain the oil) If you have to cut the can, I hope that you have your gas bottles full. There are some companies that only deal in scrapping transformers.
You can also think of it as a really big motor that is oil cooled.
Good luck.
