Aside from farming and logging, I reclaim vintage barns as a (one of many) side job. I typically remove everything I can by hand, place strategic relief cuts in remaining supports, and then use the old girl to pull over the barn skeletons to finish up salvage. This season I tackled 3 barns back to back on an old farmstead about a mile from my farm. I cant directly post videos here so I linked them to a hosting site. These are the last two on this site being pulled over.

9500lb empty weight truck, high traction off road bias plys drive tires, and a 292 in 1st lo at 1200rpm really make a heck of a pulling combination. The photo is from a jobsite last year doing the same thing, just with the barn not yet ready to be pulled over.
