Schofield’s Copex S-Wing 1000 Tonne Shear

A bit of action from earlier this week, starting with some very section reinforced crane track on a wet Monday morning. There’s a couple of well made and high tension machine beds, we softened these up with the four tonne ball as there was a chance that we folded them but the machine wouldn’t be able to compress them enough to shear, they also had very hard slides welded along the length of them which could potentially damage the blades so I also want to dislodge those. These were reinforced internally and very hard steel but we succeeded - and far more quickly than burning.
Just for the novelty value, there’s a redundant muckspreader, something we see a lot of, usually still half full of muck, this one wasn’t but watch the rust flow out of the shear.
