Mike I’ve seen you move a lot of stuff but this one would have killed a lesser man. You loaded 5540 pounds by hand and then touched every scrap again throwing it out. Over 11,000 pounds. What an amazing feat. You are the top scrapper of all time. Thank you for sharing it with us. ❤

Probably because it costs more to store something that may never be sold. A quick googler search turns up that your average skid is 48"x40". which equals 13.33 square feet. Warehouse costs average $8.22 per square foot in 2023 Your average skid costs $109.60 per month to store. If the product isn't moving for one reason or another, it costs way more to store it than to toss it and buy new when the item is needed....

Oh man, you started picking up those plates and I thought "Mikey is gonna feel that tomorrow!"

Man that was such a great find! Painful to watch you sell that expensive heavy machinery stuff for scrap value though... A couple of those blades alone go for about $100-500 depending on size and manufacturer. Those track master links go for around $300-1500 a piece, track pads are roughly $50 depending on size... I get that it's a quick 600 bucks but you've missed out on literally a load of money right there especially considering that those parts aren't that hard to resell. In the most respectful way possible I hope you educate yourself on these sorts of things for your own benefit. Stay safe out there and don't get poked by some sharp metal!

I enjoy waiting on your videos because I'll tell you you make me laugh I'm 60 years old and I swear I need enjoyment and you do that Mike keep up the good work cuz I laugh all the time

Mike the Scavenget, Hey Mike, you should invest in air bags for your suspension. I had a half ton Chevy I was using to tow a large old camper and installed a set of air bags. Let’s say, before the air bags it was sketchy towing that camper, after the air bags were installed, it was right back to driving like normal. It took 8 psi to lift the back end back up and level. I eventually traded that truck in because the engine and trans weren’t enough, but the suspension after I installed the air bags was perfect. I think I spent around $350 total and I did the install in about 1.5 hours. I think that would be a very beneficial upgrade for you.

AWESOME

Great job and very very nice video

Wow that good check

Your the MAN! MR MIKE!

Well done for all the work you have done and I bet you slept well after that bit of a graft😊😊
