If I can get it onto a trailer we'll get it to his house and he'll figure something out.

If you can get it on a trailer, take it to the scrap yard and let them deal with it.

Find someone with a Plasma Cutter..Thermal Dynamics Cut Master 52 or 82 would make short work of it.

If you just want to beak it up into smaller pieces for scrap I would try a post maul (basically a 20# sledge hammer) if that wont work then try TNT:D

Score it with the big demo saw, build a big fire in it and when it's good and hot, put a face shield on and throw a bucket of cold water on it.
