Im shocked no one has suggested cut either end carefully push over onto tyres and reuse them elswhere
I’ve thought about it
even thought they would make a bridge for sheep and gator to cross the beck with (no steel though), but at 6ton they’ll take a bit of shifting!

We tried something similar 20 odd years ago, my father went in the wrong place and lost a leg.Im shocked no one has suggested cut either end carefully push over onto tyres and reuse them elswhere
Break the f**king things out with a pecker, do not take silly risks. 6 tonner will easy do one an hour.

Hit the middle really hard with loader and see what happens
It won’t damage it, we want it taken out, if we didn’t want it taken out it would smash it no bother
We roofed over an old sleeper walled silage pit to house cattle, but left the sleeper wall in and made the shed 12ft wider so we had a pit for crimped barley. Stopped crimping barley several years ago.
Want them out for more sheep space

If you cut it once down the middle with a stihl saw ( would probably have to do it from both sides) it would probably drop apart with some loader actionIt won’t damage it, we want it taken out, if we didn’t want it taken out it would smash it no bother

There is no reinforcement so should break up. You could weaken it in the middle with a saw first.
Are you adding a shed alongside for your sheep? I would just take some out for access but leave the rest

Lots of options here, probably pricey though. I wonder if you could build something using a big bottle jack? Pecker working vertically will be cheapest though.
Yes, that’s the new shed for sheep, all the wall needs to come though

We used a pecker to take out two sections of wall a few years ago with no issues at all.

Well nobody has mentioned it ...shaped charge.

Thats the proper way to do it with no risk to the existing building, it does however require a large excavator transported on a proper low loader, so I would guess £1500 or even more these days. Set against the risk of costly damage to the building its cheap really, but so many are looking for the cheap option, even if it is positively dangerous. No way would you catch me holding a Stilh saw up above me cutting 10" thick concrete.
