I CRUSHED a TRACTOR! Plus a Junkyard Tour, & I Bought Bunches of Old Cars and Trucks

What do you want to see me crush?

[@59Elco]

A big propane tank 😂

[@beamngbois]

the blue bmw PLEASE

[@AdventuresMadeFromScratch]

@@59Elco Those don’t crush actually. I’ve tried before. They just squish a few inches on each side and stop, even with the valves out

A Bentley! Or Rolls!

It’s cool to go back and rewatch some of the older vids, would love a detailed walk through of the old crushed stacks, like a treasure hunting mission to see what’s still salvageable! Thanks Silas

[@ssweeps]

Silas...get a flatbed and load both sides with crushed cars. Put netting on them. You could get 13' high stacks of crushed cars on the flatbed. Both sides! 😊 I see them all the time here in California.

[@AdventuresMadeFromScratch]

Less money and more work that way. We loaded thousands of crushed cars that way over the years tho. I’ve even loaded some like that on this channel a couple years ago.

[@jamesmarshalla8565]

That crushing screen was so satisfying to watch! Thanks Silas your videos have made me appreciate the classics a lot more!! Have a wonderful day!!!

[@flashgordonmathie577]

Hi mate i am sorry that i have not been on for about 2 months as i have had Covid 4 times i am ok now as back to work take care & keep safe mate

[@dodge33445]

Man Id love to be in the business you are.. People bringing you cool stuff you can either CRUSH to make money, Or keep and set aside. Just a cool living. Did you ever hear the story about thar guy not long ago that had a scrap yard with a bunch of old cars and he ended up killing 4 people that were stealing from him.. Then he cut their bodies up and threw them in the river. I saw a special on it on here.

[@mattmosher-us3qg]

If you ever come across any International Scouts I'm just down the road...have trailer, will travel!!!

[@ronnieperdue2977]

My grandpa had a tractor with a crank when we stayed in Alabama my heritage Kansas City reminds me that the trees cows and deers etc. Love that down home background Silas junk yard bring back some good ol memories and times when I was a junk yard dogg woof woof

[@Nelsea7190]

love the new car mods, adding a tractor to it really gives a DIY flair to give more traction in the back.

[@flipppy83]

25:30 looks like one of the old 50s/60s 8 door airport shuttles

[@jeffreyhickman3871]

I’m so glad 😀 you saved that truck 🛻. Crushing these kinds of vehicles is about the same thing as crushing history. Your friend, Jeff.

[@DaBoogie049]

it fits right into that bubble Caprice! Also the pieces of the cast iron that fly around like bullets!

You can get a good chunk of change for a lot of those old cars and trucks you have,in Minnesota

[@shanebrown5709]

Wow the tractor crushing was cool.

[@pepifarms5009]

Here's a little heads up for you sir there's a lot of value in the rear rims of those old tractors because they put calcium chloride in there and most of them are rusted out so you might be able to get some more money if you try to save those just a thought

[@AdventuresMadeFromScratch]

I’ve sold them in the past but they’re never worth much around here. There are countless thousands of tractors in this area sitting in fields so parts are cheap

[@nickpatrick1636]

He just said can't save everything

[@pepifarms5009]

@@AdventuresMadeFromScratch I understand what you're saying can't save everything

[@patdesrosiers6423]

As with the ton and a half farm trucks. So many there they aren’t worth much. I do like that short wheelbase Chevy, hopefully someone will buy it whole to save

[@raymondcollyear4773]

I cant wait till you take us through all those cars . I love watching your videos on the cars

[@travisgiedd1629]

Wish I lived close to you I would buy every old tractor you would get in!! Sad to see you crush them I restore um history disappearing more and more!

Love all your videos if I lived there I'd work every hour God sends in you yards kind regards Henry from England

[@alanalzee4849]

The stack headlights on the old Mercedes are good money if in good condition, do enjoy walking around the scrap yards with you

[@jaratt85]

BTW, you might want to get a spring loaded punch and keep it around when you're trying to get into cars. Adam Savage showed on Mythbusters that they are just as good for breaking windows as a professional window breaker, especially if you have the little trigger operated one, but just a regular spring center punch works just fine.

[@philtremble4750]

DANNNGGGG I really could have used the red chevy Z71 box

[@mikeymac0]

Those 8-door station wagon-type cars were airport transports a lot of the time, also some older bands used them as tour vehicles. Really cool find.

[@patdesrosiers6423]

A good one to keep or pass on, unless it’s ready to break in half from rust

[@jjMcCartan9686]

Fantastic video with a bit of everything. Nice & long too silas 😊

That fillet knife is made by rapala, they are very cheap, not hand made, but the blade is good quality stainless, they were cheap fillet knives that stayed sharp.

[@lewisrichmond5346]

Its nice to see that you saved that old econoline pickup. I wish it still had the tailgate attached to it. They are becoming like hens teeth.

[@darrenbrisson4336]

Everyone wants you to save stuff for them, but nobody wants to pay the piper when it comes time.

[@logansylvester8093]

I've noticed this everywhere these days. Almost No one wants to pay you for what an item is worth, and they just about expect you to pay them to take what you are selling away

[@Landie_Man]

These flatteners just don’t seem to have as much power as a baler. A baler makes things really tight, but there seems to still be a fair amount of air in what’s left out of one of these.

[@AdventuresMadeFromScratch]

You can’t put tractors and 2 ton trucks in a baler.

[@Landie_Man]

@@AdventuresMadeFromScratch granted! I was more thinking about cars as opposed to tractors. I have seen them take long wheelbase 3.5 ton vans though

Good deal on the mail jeep. It is one of the 60s models made by Jeep. Look at the grill. The AMC models made in the 70s had less grill slots.

That looks like a tractor we used to use on our farm in the 1960's. Got many a sun burn on that thing. Ploughed a lot of land with it, and mowed a lot of hay. Now I see these guys driving around in their air-conditioned cabs with a better stereo system than God, and complaining how no one can make a living in farming anymore.

[@xretsim6368]

Your own car!

[@nissanpatrol8950]

Just a suggestion if you arent bothered pulling the motor maybe it’d be quicker to cut the car in half and sell it as a half cut like they do in japan. That being said tho only if its worth the money, otherwise just do what you’re doing now.

[@opoxious1592]

Unfortunally my heart broke when i saw that 63 or 64 crushed impala. In the time nobody when wanted to preserve 60's cars, me as a European was already aware in the Early 80's that those cars were unique. If i would have lived in the U.S back in those days, i would have bought as many as possible to save them from the crusher. I also spotted an yellow BMW E21.
