Scrapping Farm Vehicles and Agricultural Machinery in Somerset

Farming is a core part of the Somerset economy, but agricultural machinery does not last forever. When tractors, trailers, and other farm vehicles reach the end of their working life, they can take up valuable space in the farmyard. Scrapping these heavy vehicles requires specialised equipment and expertise.

The Challenge of Agricultural Scrap

Unlike standard passenger cars, farm machinery presents unique challenges when it comes to disposal. These vehicles are incredibly heavy, often immobile, and contain large quantities of specialised fluids. Leaving them to rust in a field is not just an eyesore; it can also become an environmental hazard over time.

• Difficult Access: Farm machinery is often located in muddy fields, down narrow tracks, or deep inside barns. Standard recovery vehicles simply cannot reach them.
• Heavy Lifting: Moving a seized tractor or a rusted combine harvester requires heavy-duty winches and robust transport solutions.
• Complex Depollution: Agricultural vehicles use large amounts of hydraulic fluid, heavy diesel, and robust coolants that must be carefully drained and processed.
