I swear half the cars you put in the crusher look twice as good as half the cars on the road here in Detroit.....

[@alanlepard6207]

Agreed from here in Toledo. My son's truck is definitely a candidate for Silas to crush.

[@aaronsmith5433]

As the "let's go Brandon " nut bag elitist mandate electrocution cars, the"old" iron might be just the thing to hold onto. My 28 year old "living room on wheels " launched me on the interstate @90 MPH and wasn't even floored or in high gear yet. Lots of mighty fine machinery going to waste. We'll wish we had it the more we drift into the dreamy, lace tafida, and cracker jack toy future.

And in NH, so many builders and collectors would love the older stuff he crushes. 😕

When I watch your videos I always dream of getting the license plates off these cars. You don't need them anymore. And here in Eastern Europe, it's a collector's item. American license plates are some of the most beautiful and diverse in the world. I love it, but I don't know how to do it.

[@fredkelso1089]

I remember a junk yard years back where they had golf carts for us, but they had no brakes, so I found a Toyota in the yard and my key worked it and it started right up and it would stop, so I put my parts in the trunk, drove it up to the building and the guy got all kinds of mad, what if you ran someone over? I said I doubt it, the Toyotas brakes worked, that was the last thing he said, that yard is a Home Depot now

I got a quicker way to crush cars, drive your loader over the cars, it’s much more fun, and it’s a lot less time consuming!

[@AdventuresMadeFromScratch]

Considering it takes about 3 hours to get a tire fixed and I’d have to get a tire fixed every time I went over a car I feel like it would be a much slower way

Hi Silas! I don't understand the business with the claw. Sometimes you put your scrap into boxes, sometimes you wrap it and put it on flatbeds and sometimes you take it to the claw. It was looking like the claw was loading boxes just like you do! Can you explain what's going on? Keep up the good work!!!

[@AdventuresMadeFromScratch]

We sell to different companies. The claw place loads stuff in their own trailers and takes it to their shredder.

[@a2pha]

4:57 Why compress these cars ? Cannot something be salvaged from them, the engine pieces, headlights, anything ?

[@kraljmatjaz7668]

you have such a cool job men, i would be sorry for some cars i guess, sometimes.. :)

Nothing being wasted, it’s all going to be recycled.

[@guruoo]

@@AdventuresMadeFromScratch Destructively recycled for fast bucks. I was seeing cars, and parts that were in good enough condition to be restored, and or reused. And that's an indefensible waste.

[@guruoo]

@@AdventuresMadeFromScratch I could see a lot of reusable parts, like doors, quarter panels, hoods, trunk lids, ect. And then there's what you couldn't see like drivetrains, and suspension parts. Scrapping parts in such good condition that could be reused is a huge waste, IMO. It's hard to watch.

[@4STEVEJOY34]

IDEA: Next time you get a load of pipe in, use it to make a frame 9" off ground. Then place a row of those box-truck boxes on it, line up a row of cinder blocks around it to keep skunks out from under. Each box could be dedicated to a theme: Used tires or rims, used batteries, gauges, 1950's tail lights, etc... Make a tiny town for shoppers.
