[AT] Hay wagon update

[Cecil Bearden]

Vibration seems to always work.   If you have a jackhammer, you might 
try it on the sides and also on the end of the pipes.  I use a lot of 4 
1/2"cutoff blades in a small grinder.   The blades are only 0.045 
thick.   In a good small grinder they are lethal to steel.   You could 
try to just slit the outside pipe and once it is apart, weld the pipe 
back together.  I would only weld a short spot and then go back to 
another spot.  I have done this in the past, it is a lot of welding, but 
it goes fast.
