& don't forget their cut.. Some of those auction "premiums"{as they're called} are way up there..
You'd be MILES & DOLLARS ahead if.. you cut down some weeds & snap some pictures yourself.
THEN have someone teach you or have them post the pics for you.

Not sure with farm equipment, but for personal property like estate sales the auctioneer will come out and tell you what is good and what is junk. They then auction the good stuff and keep a cut. Of course with larger farm equipment you may have to drag it there.

Also scrappers might just come take it for free. They will take it to the scrap yard and get their pennies a pound. They are not going to clean the place up but at least the “stuff” will be gone.

Don't laugh, but Facebook Marketplace really brings them in. Need good pictures, though.

To have an auction, you can have junk, but you have to have good stuff too. A neighbor deceased now, tried to have an auction with just junk. A lot of pissed off people. The new owner sold the scrap, sold the barn for vintage wood and burned everything else! House and outbuildings included.

There are "junky" auctions around that you can take your questionable stuff to. But it might not be worth it.

Many excavation contractors will clean up a property and gladly take the scrap as a bonus of sorts.

Thanks for the comments and decided to use FEL and hay forks to load onto the trailer and haul to scrap yard.
his 8 inch rain the past week it will take a while for the ground to dry.

Now for the shop filled with old radio test equipment and radios.

That is something which you may find a buyer for. Contact your local HAM radio club to find out if it's worth anything.

Old dump rakes are often listed on CL around here for about $200. Put it near the road, with a $500 sign on it. Someone will stop and talk you down to $250 so they can brag on their bargaining skills.

I'm cringing at the thought of scrapping "old farm equipment" without hearing or seeing what type of equipment it actually is.

And the radios and test equipment.... NOOOOoooooo......... :laughing:

Sure would enjoy seeing pics of it all before you haul it away. May be "useless" now, but it is a piece of history nonetheless.
