I live close to a scrap dealer here, and I see all sorts of farm implements going by on those trucks headed for it. Nobody checks it there, they just crush it. I always wonder where they get it, and if some farmer doesn't miss it yet. When you're car gets to a certain age no title is needed to crush it here. Many cars of that age around here are on the missing list, who knows? You might could find it at the local scrap dealer if you are quick enough.

Sorry to hear they ripped you off. Probably to late to check with the scrap dealers. Bet that metal is on it way to China. I live about 1/2 mile from a scrap dealer. I see all types of farm equipment go into that place. There is know way all that is given to the scrappers. They have to be stealing it. Some of it has good paint on it. The dealer want sale any of the equipment. He puts it straight in a crusher or a shredder. I followed a scrapper in one day and ask the dealer would they take 200.00 to 300.00 for a disk. Said can't do it. I only export the metal. I should set down the road at a stop sign and ask the person that is bring in the scrap what they would take for it. But then I would most likely be buying stolen stuff. This place is so busy that they have a line of 40 to 50 pickup trucks and trailers all the time. They line up before they open. At about 2:00pm the owner will come out and put a sign on the last truck for the day. That way they can close at 5:00pm or so.

Here we call them "Hiller blades". These are what I use on my cultivators. I can see where a set of "hippers" could have a advantage on some things, but my Hiller Blades is all I have ever used for bedding a row and work real good for hilling potatoes and corn too. |

Part of the scrap problem around the country is the dealers are in cahoots with the thieves. Thats how they are getting away with scrapping items that obviously aren't scrap. If it looks like its been in the fence row for 50yrs yeh nobody would question that. But when items come in that look only a few years old dealers should be questioning those items but thet aren't. I know they have to take your liscense but so what. Once the item is off the trailer and on the bottom of a pile its becomes one mans words against another. The whole scrap industry burns me.
