- I own a excavation company and a rolloff container
I have a couple of machines in my yard that I need to scrap, its just a shame prices are so low right now for scrap. An excavator, platform lift, an old pull behind sheepsfoot.

From what was told to me, that machine was purchased from the city of San Antonio, TX. and used well past its means of productive capacity. The Government gives out subsidies to companies who update equipment and dispose of the older on their own. (not resell)
Rear loading mills were ok in the day. The newer mills have alot of features that the older mills simply cannot compete with which directly relate to job productivity.

Noticed that in the third picture down, the Wirtgen in the background has the ski's off it. In the fourth picture (C-4) W2200 is in the background in a Different position. The next Pic is that KW tractor.
My first day at Texop, I loaded a coupla trucks with a W2100.(spent all day in Ft. Worth) Spent the other half of the day on the ground with the W2200. At 6 pm the KW tractor shows up and we load the W2200, the lowboy driver and I head to Beaumont,TX. 2 days in Beaumont. 1 day in Pt Arthur.(all total removals) Drove back on Sunday. 80 hours my first week.
The jobs we did would have been impossible (or taken a week) with that PR450.
