We had to do it that way because the closet i could park my truck to some sites was about a mile or two. Its slow moving compared to some of these guys with their skid loaders but its a good workout and when i was in high school I didnt have money burning holes in my wallet either. Scrap was also like $9/hundred at the smaller yards as well so it added up real quick.
    Also if you use the wheel barrow method splitting mauls can take apart just about anything real quick if you dont mind making a small mess and can be carried on the handles of a wheel barrow. Just the other day i took an entire car body and part of the frame apart with nothing but a splitting maul and a pair of gloves. Then put it on a s-10 that i made into a trailer.
    wow thats interesting wait so a splitting maul can cut metal? i thought you could only cut wood cause its basically a axe right from the looks of it.
