I'm not sure I'd be moving very fast...or at all...after moving all that! You're gonna need some Ibuprofen and some pain patches after all that! Nice haul though!

Yeah, miscellaneous stuff alright. I even saw the kitchen sink in there!!!
Friend of ours here might still have an old Viking with one large and one small barrel for it if you need more parts. But after this haul it looks like you've probably got at least one of everything... .

The large barrel has a hole in lining. I am going to run it until it wears through the metal. Probably build a jamesp hopper. I'll be in Arizona in Jan (getting more rocks) if you it would check on it.

Wow, toiv0 , you did some serious plundering! Awesome haul. What did the pirate say when he was asked why he was wearing a paper towel on his head? "Arrrg it's my bounty"

"They swept in out of the frozen wastelands of the North, pillaging as they went. No collection or equipment was safe from this marauding hoard"!!!

Dang. Nice haul and what a trailer to haul with. I bet steep grades are interesting when fully loaded. I saw one in BC that had to use the runaway lane. I guess his trailer brakes were faulty.

Nice haul!! For some reason this scene from the movie Jaws came to mind when I saw all that stuff. We are going to need a bigger boat ( or trailer lol)

Pulls like nothing was there. I had to buy a trailer to truck adapter. When I plugged it in I had full time brakes. Took apart the plug to re wire and so coroded I ended up snipping wire to the brakes.... Was nervous at first but not much traffic. Only one hill dropped it down a gear.
