£510 per tonne at Wye valley metals on Hereford, we had some ewes over so took a few batteries laying about here, the nomadic transit drivers around here will stuggle to give a fiver for a 622

Was offered £130 last week.
That's a good bid. Tbh the price is irrelevant for me atm I'm in a clear up mode and I would tip it for free if I had to. Found 1500 quids worth and cant see where I've been yet. Two spud harvesters a combine an artic and a stone picker biting the dust today

Ha, it's not as bad as I make it out, honest guv. The front is concrete with a soil wear plate over it :LOL:

Edit it's raining so I'm going in the sheds, there's 3 graders in there I can cut up, I'll keep the other 4 bigger ones

Additional edit, plus two hoppers and a sprayer.

I understand the tip it for free bit when you are in a tidy up mode but with the weights you are talking about it makes a lot of sense to choose your moment. Not like the scrap appeared overnight.
I don't care what the price is myself as I am taking a shitload of rabbit netting. Can't see that weighing much :D
