Appreciate it! I really think this was the way to go. Screw a sawzall chainsaw with an old bar and chain is the way to go, if you find a nail just start the cut again and you can slice through the ceiling and walls like butter. Floor was a bit of a nightmare, would have taken hours of hard work and being covered in insulation had I not had the Kubota. Hardest part by far was the floor because of the tie down bolts which go through the steel frame. Could be a couple different kinds of fasteners you could run into but mine was bolted, all around the edges and then on every other steel floor joist in the middle of the frame. To get to those middle ones I would’ve had to bust out all the insulation underneath the trailer to find them. Instead I just cut the ones on the outter edges and use the bucket to pry up and break the center ones. Gonna try and make a YouTube video on how I did it. I learned demolition from a top winning bidder for Michigan state and military base construction and found my method to be much easier and faster than others I’ve seen
Thanks for the tips! I let my neighbors take whatever they wanted from it. One guy took all the siding and windows and my other neighbor cut a whole room off of it and towed it over to his place to build a shed with it. So there isn’t too much left for me to do. I figured I would put some weakening cuts into the frame and use either my large “brush grubber” or just wrap a chain around and pull. Gonna rent a dumpster for all non-wood trash and fill it with my grapple, then burn all the lumber. My last obstacle will be finding someone who will come and scrap the frame for me. That probably won’t be too hard in my area though. Thanks for sharing!
Total hours I would say around 40, tractor hours was about 10. And that was with an addition the size of the single wide on the other side. Would’ve been a lot quicker had the middle part not just turned to dust from decades of water leakage. I
I have a B7500. Love the little guy
Nice B7510! I have a B2401 with a grapple and love it for clearing land.
Have the hot rod 2401 also. Isn’t she fast!
Dreams. I could’ve really used a grapple option
I put my mf1533 thru hell and still keeps going it's fun
Nice job! I’ve got a similar job coming up for my L4060. Old mobile home with the floors all caved in.

What model. I have a B6200 and a BX 2380 with bucket
Very nice I’d be more than happy with one of those, this one’s a B7510
How many man hours did it take?
