I don't know how much farm type equipment the guy had but an area "big wig in the construction fielddied recently and everything he had setting around went to scrap. I have no idea what all went to the scrapper but based on what I saw and heard they hauled equipment in for several days including everything from graders to dozers to scrapers to excavators, to haul trucks. Some of the machines were nothing but scrap but at least one D-9 sized Komatsu dozer was messed with enough to get running, pulled on a trailer and took straight to the scrap yard. Several other pieces a friend had looked at buying before the guy died had minor problems like a cracked head, etc but they all went to the scrapper too. I was told by a reliable source that the scrap value paid to the guys estate was close to $500,000 (yes half a million dollars) so you can imagine what the scrapper actually made off the deal...Especially when everything was hauled in, cut up, and ready to head out on a rail car as scrap within about two to three weeks time. Makes me sick to see what happened with the stuff but, again what I was told, the guy had debts, as well as legal matters like fines, etc, that had to be taken care of immediately and scrapping everything was the only way to raise sufficient funds in the time they had to do it. OH well I guess you can't win them all...or take it with you...

A copse of wildbreaking silver birch and oak trees surround the top si
