Definitely try and part it out first. You will get more than scrap value. Once you've picked it clean. It will most likely be better to take it in without cutting it up. I don't think the yard will pay too much different for what is left on it vs. the time to cut it up. A torch is the only way to go if you do cut it up. Just have a good way to load the pieces after. The counter weight a lone on one is hefty to say the least.
