Stuff always gets run over! I parked our ready mix truck and put my lunchbox on the front bumper. I went in and told the mechanic that I had a flat. He said bring it in the shop. I brought the truck inside but forgot and ran over my lunchbox! I did salvage a fork!
Bradley I guess you had to stick a fork in the rest of it because it was done! 😉 Just teasing, my husband is forever doing something like that. Take care!
Silas. please keep up all the Hard Work and Great Video Content!
it's almost impossible to explain to people the how and why of any business.
i know these videos add a whole extra level to your time+responsibilities.
Thank You! we really enjoy your vids. best...walt+mrs.
Silas, this content is SO mesmerizing! I don't know why, but it is. Thank you for bringing this to us. Enjoy your time off with your wife!!
Silas happy anniversary to you and your wife.Another great video ,keep up good job. So sorry about scrap price drop. We are patiently waiting for a new adventure .Silas of all people i follow on you tube you are the best of all,YOU ARE#1 in my book.
It's amazing how people tell you how to do your job and you have only been doing it since you was a kid makes me smile when you get a idiot who has never worked in a scrap metal yard all the best Cameron from Kenilworth England
I'm amazed how you can crush a car or truck to the height of a coffee table. Really enjoyed this video and one more thing. Forget about those who criticize how you do things. You do what you have to do for your business and armchair quarterbacks don't know or have your knowledge and experience. Stay safe.
Love that you put up another video. Thanks for posting. Appreciate all the work you put in.
Lucky negative zero wow I'd love that
Wow lucky you're going to get snow
Thanks for all the posts, I enjoy them all. Do not take the hater comments to heart. I am reminded of the old song, "what do you want for nothing, Rubber Biscuits."
An insignificant thing I noticed (amazing what we pay attention to) - every time the claw takes the cars off your trailer - then you roll off the scrap tires -
you always give the claw operator a little wave ( I suspect it is your way to say "thanks" ) but the thing is - the claw operator is never looking in your
direction when you wave - so he doesn't see the "thank you wave". It is not a big deal - just something that I noticed. Country Courtesy !
Basically an “I’m done” wave. I do the same before he starts unloading to let him know it’s unchained and ready to go. Not a big deal if he sees it or not because he knows I do it every time 😆
@@AdventuresMadeFromScratch You have had your system for years im sure,would be interesting to have a camera mounted in that Claw cab ,He runs that thing around like you do with the loader
That last time you picked up and put over by the wheels while loading the van with scrap. That was a kneading hook for a Hobert commercial mixer. You might want to put that in your eBay stuff to sell. They bring really good money. Depending on the mixer it is for. Anywhere from $50 to $250.00 used. Happy Anniversary.
Happy Anniversary. My wife and I got married on 12/12/12. Keep up the good work and videos.
We almost picked that day, but it worked better to do the 1st for everyone
My mother was born on 10-10-10.
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY! May you enjoy many more happy years together ❤ ❤
😅I'm going back to look at old ones because I like them all ty for the fun
Silas, you know what you are doing. Shouldn't have to explain yourself to anyone!!!!
Love watching the claw!!!!
Silas, thanks for taking us along on your adventures. Great video and great content. Gary from West Virginia.
Nice work you got going on . After doing bodywork for 30 years this work would be enjoyable
Great day Salis loved it could not be better lot of scrap as always thank you for sharing and your time was great never miss a one just turffic.
Have a great time on anniversary day, Congrats💐
That's pretty cool to learn you were married on Dec 1st. That's my birthday 🎂 60 years ago. Keep up the good videos. 👍 I did email you.
You crush cars and trucks in better shape than the one I’m driving. Here in northern British Columbia Canada it’s-7c and snowing
I really love seeing additional metal being recycled in addition to the cars.
have a good anniversary!
Car and I tell you job on everything else is good.
You keep teasing us about the shredder, I would love to see that
youre a madman for crushing stuff like that good running short bed durango. i know for a fact stuff like that is still worth quite a bit more than its scrap value
Technically yes, but only if you don’t consider the time factor. I can crush 10 cars in the time it would take to sell 1 car, so unfortunately crushing is what happens. Plus selling old “running” vehicles is a good way to make people hate you. Transmission goes out 2,000 miles later and naturally it’s your fault 😆
Yes it can get cold there,A tow truck driver over in Scott City who is on TH-cam was running around last year in his big truck,Lotsof ICE.
You never disappoint Silas. Always great content. I look forward to more of your farm clean ups. Happy anniversary by the way. Until next time. Thanks.
Wow! A PT crusher!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Awesome Silas
Great work, Silas. Keeping Central Kansas strong!
Thanks for sharing,let the armchair crushers babble, you know better how to run your business than anyone else. Keep doing what you do.
Happy anniversary enjoy your time off. We're like watching the videos but you have good time!
Silas, Happy Anniversary to you and your wife. All my best!
Rent to say zero and negative but that's still cool in both meanings of the word
I did the same thing as you but I drove over my Milwaukee grinder and it smushed it into the dirt more like mud pulled it out cleaned it up put a new disc on it and it was perfectly fine got to love Milwaukee
Great video!!!
Real nice weather!!!
Scotland is absolutely horrible at the moment!!!!
Bring on April!
Good video & happy anniversary 👍❤️🎄⛄
Good job... Happy Anniversary!
Thank you we love seeing crushing videos
Great video bro thank you so much 👍 love from Morocco ❤ God bless America
How much for the 57 body by the gate, ?!!! Nice I can build my own hot rod, with with frame and my rear end and my 355 ol skhool engine power glide, nice thanks BigAl California.
Yes
Open a pick and pull type of business!! HAPPY LATE ANNIVERSARY WITH MANY MORE TO COME!
No you don’t have to take off the parts on that 9-n Ford , it is two bolts in the front of the motor down low , and it come right off in you hand 🤚 no problem, you will just need to unbolt the wires and mark the plug wires, it’s easy to put points in it, good job, thanks BigAl California, that 9-n Ford in that condition is worth 3000, dollars out here, 5,000 if you paint and put a Gannon blade on the rear, nice 👍 thanks BigAl thanks you.
Don't worry Silas. I left a very nice Stewart Warner grease gun on my old Case 580 and forgot it and drove off. Found it in the dirt flatter than 2 pancakes with a sheet of paper between em.
That first car crush was dynamite! Watching the old vehicle curl up was excellent. Nobody criticized your knowledge or operation. I just wanted to find out why you didn't crush flat for the amount of steel it would compact together. Man, I love that claw!
The comment I was referring to is gone now. It was pretty vulgar. I can’t moderate all my comments but I do my best to remove the worst ones. Contrary opinions don’t bother me, but kids watch my channel so I won’t put up with really bad stuff.
Happy anniversary Silas. 🙂🙂
Great how you protect your trailer deck with tires.👍
Awesome video Silas what do you do with the aluminum wheels are they shipped out some where at some point thanks again
Happy Anniversary!!
Happy Anniversary 🇬🇧🇬🇧👍👍
You made my night!
Your content is good screw the haters
Happy anniversary silas 🎉🎊
Happy late anniversary...glad i don't live close to your yard,i be there just about every day..lol
100%, I get it you don't have time to part things out. But, if you had someone come in and set up their own business of dealing with parts it could end up saving you time. For example: if a guy came in and remove the tires from the cars you wouldn't have to do it. Then he could sell all the tires and rims possibly by the truckload to someone else who would resell them. And you would not have to throw them in cars where they're not wanted. And, he would have to pay you 20%. To me that sounds like a four-way win.
We have contracted out to countless individuals to handle used parts for us including tires, and it always turns into a disaster or worse unfortunately.
Awesome
No I would love to see zero or negative degrees
You mean you found a woman that has put up with you for nine years ? Must be a good one,,,lol....HAPPY ANNIVERSARY,,great video, ,keep'um coming.
Silas, you do what you do... Damn the Haters!
I have changed points in a 9N before. You have to remove the loader {5 minutes} but you do not have remove the sheet metal or radiator. Guy thru away a perfectly good tractor.
I had a 501, had that same loader. Kept wiping out the input shaft bucketing heavy snow
Happy anniversary
Great way to get rid of the excess wheels/tires
All these comments about this crew cab ford it was mine tried for 2 years to sell it I finally threw in the towel and there it is I had a few offers over the 2 years but it brought more in scrap than they offered so
thats a real shame about that crew cab ford.. thats a 3000 truck in Florida even with a blown engine and 2x4
Happy anniversary to you to from maceo ky
Oh. I shoulda mentioned...In that van...just after the rims near the beginning...That first item through the window: NICE SHOT! Hehe!
Hi there
You should have put one of the tub in the Crusher
Good Stuff, Silas. Do you happen to have a list of things people are looking for? Like a mid to late 80s Bronco II with a V6? That and a mid to late 80s Nissan Pulsar. yeah, a weird combination I know. but it's what I'm looking for. Oh and if I can be choosy LOL No rust. I would tow my trailer up your way in a skinny minute for one of those.
Cheers from Louisiana.
So, why not get a bigger pickup truck and a goose neck trailer for hauling more cars to the shredder? In theory they should 1) increase your productivity by being able to haul more cars and 2) pay for themselves with the increase.
What is the story on that old Big Red Cabover?looks like its seen better days,Its next to the yellow Dakota
that crew cab ford is a shame, those too are worth quite a bit
I'm surprised that someone would question your skills and decision when you have been in the junk business since you were able to walk.
Let them pull the parts off. Just idea love the videos 📹
A lot of his non-collectible cars are stacked 2 or 3 high, it would be crazy to let customers climb around on them to remove parts.
If you volunteer to buy him 40-80 acres and then follow the customers around to prevent theft, and pay his insurance increase if they get hurt, maybe he would sell parts. A you-pick-it parts operation is a whole different ballgame than moving a huge amount of cars through a few acre yard for scrap. He'd need a ton more space to be parting out cars beyond the collectible ones he keeps around a while.
Do y’all have an ol 621 f loader setting around for sale, you know I could use part time for cars and dirt loading, ??!!? Nice thanks BigAl California.
That little tractor would be 3000.00 up here
Yall leave silas alone he knows what he's doing
Weathers nuts. Up here in northern bc, canada it was -25 yesterday and its -2 today lol.
Unfortunately, keep it up there please!
@@darrellsaunders4267 lol ill try
Those bins been getting hard to come by these days......unlike a few years ago
Wished they was a way to get at least 10 or 15 car tags
Why can’t you make a deal with that yard where you haul them too crush all of there stuff too , and then you get more of the pie 🥧, nice , thanks BigAl California.
I'm curious about something Silas. If you take in a vehicle that is still driveable can you sell it to somebody for them to use and drive? Does is have a scrap/salvage title if you do? I hope you see this and send me an answer. I'd love to have that little pickup that you show, the gray one.
What would you have to have for the Dodge Dakota with the V6?
You said that you where surprised that converter was still there. Do you ever have people steal stuff out of the yards?
It goes in spurts. We caught someone not long ago, so word got out and now it’s been quiet for awhile.
Maybe you need some junkyard dogs, or guard donkeys.
everyone shipping boxs to upstate ny 2800 to 3000 each
What did you pick up off the ground at 6:48 Silas? Looked like some sort of mixer attachment or something.
Happy anniversary! 👍👍👍
That’s what it is. A dough hook of some sort
Supposed to be about 70 by end if the week.
I'm in Randleman N. C
When yo buy a car for scrap. Do they have to have a title. ??
Most places you gotta have a title
You ever found any guns in the those junks Silas?
He often shows ammo he finds when treasure hunting in the cars. Haven't seen him show or speak of finding any guns, but that might be on advice of counsel, or to avoid rocking the boat with TH-cam on a family friendly channel.
OK, I give. What's the blue thing?
on the 20th minute of the video ,is it the same for you or do you sell and transport the crushed vehicles to them,thank you
Do the cars have to be crushed to take them to the shredder?
No, but it’s easier to haul them.
While crushing a car, did you ever have something under pressure ever fly out like a bullet at your loader cab?
Yes, I’ve had that happen multiple times. I’m very thankful for safety glass.
Any reason people don't take their junk directly to where the claw is?
Silas why dont you use a big gooseneck trailer and haul alot more cars at a time?
Can’t find a bigger truck that isn’t priced $5k+ over what it’s worth. This old dodge is doing good to haul 1 stack at a time 😆
Even trailer prices are threw the roof right now
What are you going to do with that Ford tractor with a bucket on it you be interested in selling it and if you are how much
