Yea that posted tiller is way high i have seen other american made ones in this area for that price. I have seen a couple around here in the $350-$450 range if i remember right, but i did not go see condition.

Deep yea id love for you to keep an eye out once you come across your tiller. What do you do just pop in the scrap yard and look to see whats there, they let you do that? I have just sold scrap, but i did oogle the stuff there with my eyes thinking of the uses and how much "good" metal i could scavange from there. I dont mind a trip to go pick it up. I have been known to travel an hour or two for something.

The way this recycle/Salvage business is setup they have everything come in across the scales and is bought by the 100 lbs at current market cost of that day, averaging from 7.00-10.00 per 100 lbs. then it is separated in 5 sections, 1- scrap which they have no intentions of re-selling goes directly into a large box trailer and taken to the main scrap processing plant in Atlanta...2- the cars/trucks etc, go to a section where there they will drain fuel from the tanks, then will be will take to an area to remove the Cat converters, big money in the Cats. and then taken to the Parts yard where there they will be parted out, ( U-pull-it )
3- there is a tractor/mower/Motorcycles, Golf carts, go-karts small engine area where they take to be parted out, actuall if you get there before the parts have been pulled you can buy these things complete by the lb. I had an oportunity to by a wreck '98 GL-1800 for a little over 300 bucks.. it was on a saturday and I wanted to do a title search on it the next monday, But by the time I got back there it had already been sold, only thing was wrong with it was bent front forks and front wheel ....
4- the heavy scrap area is where will find implements,trailers, raw steel materials etc, these kind of things are sold by the lb. ....and make good profit I might add... for instance if they paid across the scales 8.00 per each hundred lbs for a 350 lb tiller, they only paid 28.00 for the tiller.... then when it is sold fo 38 cents each lb. 133.00 =105.00 good profit huh! :thumbsup: but yet still at an affordable price to the consumer,
this place is only 3 miles from me and quite a lot of stuff passes by my house on the way over there I can get a quick glimps of some things before it reaches the yard, I do try to get over there 2-3 times a week

Yea keep an eye out for me, that and any front weights for a tractor that will fit our tractors. I will buy um back from you, we will have to make a trip if so. Everyone selling suitcase weights on ebay want $40ish dollars for um and then you have to ship um!. I will Pm you my personal cell # you can call or text me and if you have something you think another tractor guy might want that none of your buddies have an interest in you can call me. I dont really need any trailers and im to far to get something from you to then work on and try and turn a profit. I would just be interested in implements, esp. turn plows or bottom plows or spring tooth harrows. i can work on stuff and weld so repairs are not a problem, and i save steel and stuff (wife calls it hoarding, but i saved AL for years and radiators and AC parts with Cu wiring from the house and made $100 back a few months ago from my hoarding) so you have an idea that i'm not thinking your going to buy me a shiny bushhog for $120.
