And to cut i need to buy regulators.. more money out of pocket. I know if i wait long enough i will come into some

Wow i was about to call the guy and now im rethinking it.
Anyone know a large rollback in MA??? I only know small tow companies.

I am also worried about the mess and fire that will start with cutting it. There is a large conveyor belt in the middle of it and the whole broom is plastic; not to mention all the hydraulic fluid in all the lines. Also it is in brush and not near any easy water sources.

Im not after the quick money but the best price/work ratio.

I am thinking of calling the scrap yard to come get it. I called second street and the lady said it would be unprepared, I dont agree with it but i bet i will get more than 150 a ton.
Only thing is i bet they will want the fluids drained. Might be a pain to do but worth the time definitely.
Im thinking get a hand pump and drain the hydraulic resevoir, then check the gas tank and puncture it with a drain pan underneath. For the water container i will puncture it

Also there is no time period that this needs to be out, so while i want to get it done, i dont have to do it ASAP.

I wouldn't cut it up unless I had to, my yard would take it whole and pay car price $240 a ton but I would have to drain the fluids and then would have to get rid of them. If it was me I would still call the guy with the flat bed and sell it for $150 a ton. No invesment, no work, fast cash. Just my .02
