I've become pretty good at guessing weight over the years. 15 years of hauling 10 tons or more a year, with several years being over 30 tons a year, has helped.

Great thread Patriot! I am rural as well, in eastern Oregon. I seem to have lost my ability to post pictures. If I figure out how to post pictures again, I will post. I'm doing a lot of stockpiling...
I've started doing a little scrapping again lately, still stockpiling most things. Made a deal to clean up a huge ranch yesterday, I'll take pictures and post later....

No rust at all. It will be fixed up by someone. I have several people that want it, and I haven't advertised it.

I saw an add for corrugated metal for free, must take all. I have been looking for some to put on the roof of my porch, so I said I would take it. As is always the case where I live, it was over 100...
Several years ago, I did a clean up on a ranch near where I grew up. About 150 miles south of where I live now. I had my white trailer pretty full, and my Ford, "ole whitey" loaded as well. Between...
I traded this swather for an 18' car trailer and a plasma cutter.

It is hard to believe it's been that long. I haven't been hauling much, because I was running an excavator all summer. It's kinda nice to get back at it.
I hauled this load in yesterday

My best load was 3,000 pounds of aluminum irrigation pipe at one time. Lots of loads of batteries that were 4,000 pounds or more.

When you don't have a pickup.
$3.29 in Burns, Oregon I haven't been hauling anything in recently, but have heard that the price is inching up in the Idaho yards that I use.
I have built up a big set of tools over the years, almost always buying used. Pawn shops, yard sales, auctions, etc. Sorry that you are needing to get new tools for this reason.

I will have some more pictures to add later. I was able to take advantage of my rural location to score pretty big over the weekend. Lots of scrap, and lots of more than scrap value.

Welcome from the dry side of Oregon!
I don't have a loader or skidsteer, but have a lot of friends with the equipment that I can use when I need to. I have the trailer that is in some of the pictures, and Ole' Whitey, the 95 F350 with...
