#97 Demolish Trailer House with Excavator

The chassis on that trailer is gold, you can build a tiny home on it, even cut it in half and make two.

I appreciate you taking the time to make these videos. I really enjoy your tree cutting videos. 🇺🇸

Been doing these kinds of demos for about 6 years now. I like to cut the windows out (from outside) using a sawzall with a demo blade. Makes quick work of removing them. Once out I break the glass out and scrap the window frame. Then I demo the entire trailer in place. Once the entire trailer is down I crush and smash the material into smaller sections. Then place in bins. I have a rock bucket for my excavator (skeletonized bucket). I use it like a rake towards the end and get if if the large to medium pieces of material policed up. Then I do a final touch with a rock rake by hand placing the picked up material into the excavator bucket then to the dumpster. I like to use 3 dumpsters. I use 2 as you did. And 1 for strictly metal.

I look for scrap metal sometimes, so I'm just seeing a ton of aluminum siding going in there with the wood and everything. Although it's probably loaded up with 1000s and 1000s of rivets and 1000s of ferrous nails that would be way too much headache to get out, so a scrap yard doesn't downgrade all that non-ferrous siding( and possibly the roof metal too) to "dirty" aluminum or aluminum breakage price.

Thanks for doing this video. It is very interesting. It's hard, dirty work but your the man to do it. I hope you make a good profit off this job. You deserve it. Again, thank you again for acknowledging the women who love your videos.

How many dumpsters would it typically take for a single wide 18’x55’ mobile home?

Very good nice job okay

Awesome! Enjoyed watching. New here 👍

The ol' excavator had no problem chewing that one up, Ben. Sure beats a wrecking bar and a sawzall.

Just like a surgery is done. Great job

I enjoy the excavator work, but did you look into putting a set of wheels/tires on it and towing it whole to the scrap yard or landfill? Might have been more cost effective.

Your just having way too much fun, I love your videos Ben, looking forward to the next one. Stay safe buddy.

I appreciate u all u videos ❤❤❤

Thanks for your reply on the axles but it is a little far even if they were free. However, they are rather valuable. List the on Craigs list. Good luck. Love you splitter I am building a homemade one very much like it. I also own a 372 Hutfarme saw.

Bet you wish you would of removed the windows first , we learned the hard way that glass is a pain to clean up . Keep up the good work.

Hope no asbestos Ben , good job and great video !

Nice going. Lots of work stay.safe

I’ve got one to tear down this fall, built in the early 60’s. I’m definitely going to wear a respirator & wait for rainy weather. Who knows what will be in that dust?

Just as long as the weight is street legal to haul. Yet many demo crews double that weight and don’t care. That’s why you get hit with over weight fees or get the dumpster dumped out to reload it to legal weight.
