This has become my favorite channel.. I don't think I'll ever get sick of seeing cars get crushed!
Good job editing this one Silas! I liked you telling us about the house and how y'all cleaned it up and about the flood plan area. Thanks for sharing.
You were a great tour guide Silas as you explained the history of the area while you were driving your forklift to the farm for your next clean up. Thank you sir.
Hi Silas, I'm in England and I really love your channel. I used to help my Uncle Billy in his scrapyard doing the same kind of thing as you, buying junk cars and scrap iron all day. That was back in the 1980's and 1990's. I miss those times. I liked the way you were telling us about the properties when you were moving the loader. Can you do the same about your town please?
another great video dude.shame i live in the uk.not in the usa .near the yard.id have bought the old volvo 240.clean car.not many around now .even in the uk.yes i drive a volvo 940.keep making the videos😃😃👍👍
I love watching this channel! I like seeing a real hard working guy, work hard. Too bad so many don't like getting dirty to make $$$
That's a smart looking property you cleaned out Silas 👍🍻
When i was young had lots of old school cars had no where to keep them that was back in the day im 64 now I was in my teens cars where easy to work on then not like now fiberglass and aluminum head motors etc
Thank you for showing the scenery. It is pretty around there.
those 240 volvo tailights(on the next volvo) u should save they are hard to come by and not cheap
Silas, I just starting watching you. You are a smart eager beaver. You are not afraid of physical labor.
liked the view from the back of your truck, when going to the shredder yard.
Another good one. We all sure enjoy it. Yes please explain the radiation thing. There are a few other people wondering. Thank you very much

Great video loved as always the crusher and the clean up area thank you was great as always loved it.
Your so calm and cool with all you do !!
It absolutely is amazing what you find in the garbage. I was a garbage man in the late 80's and early 90's and most of the stuff in my appartment was garbage-goodies. Stereo's, couches, chairs , you name it. One of the drivers, an older guy with seniority, paid his property taxes every year with the $ he made from copper, brass and aluminum. We all saved it for him. Another guy saved car batteries and beer cans/ bottles. I once found a Wayne Gretzky rookie card and paid off a $300 debt with it. Great days back then.
Great video, thanks for ride along going to farm clean up,felt like i was there with you,keep up good job,drink plenty of water and stay cool when you can.
I see some nice steel fence posts on that load with the baler.
A scrapyard near us has a habit of throwing wheel nuts into empty oil drums they have built up quite a collection over the years they weigh in very well.Cheers from UK.
Very very interesting Silus the claw is cool to watch too.
Every time you upload you gain like a thousand subs love to see it
I love my brand new air compressor with a honda motor super fast taking the wheels off
So you take the scrap cars from your place over to Midwest Iron & metals so I bet you know that route by heart with eyes closed !!!
I love crushing cars. I use to take all the wheels off the cars & run the crusher . We use the loader to take the tanks out back in the day
I believe that was a 6v92 Detroit in the second compressor. those are some tough engines. I bet it will still run.
Great video. It looks hot and dry there.
Awesome video
Always great content
awesome video
I hope you are pulling the motorcycle motors for aluminum breakage and something for you, some of the older hubcaps are made from yellow brass
That old detroit in that one compresser is worth a pretty penny
That's a pain that you have to haul cars yourself. I would be contacting local truckers that dont have nothing to do to haul cars.
nice old plymouth you got there
Silas as a machine driver myself (I drive a JCB 541 70 at work you have a very good eye for centre of load weight.
@8:29 bahahaha 🤣once crushed one of those Volvo 240 with a cinder block pressed down on the accelerator revving at full throttle & crushed it alive with a giant excavator, made a little bit of a mess but was quite fun
Love your videos are always fascinating and interesting by the way your loader front tires look like they're blowing air
Nice tour to the clean up job. I guess you just turn and burn during the summer
We had that exact Hesston round baler lol
Ok, I'm impressed new. Subscriber.
Shame about the 244 Volvo they are a solid car run for ever.
Ya did some good work in todays video
Wow! Another video, you sure do work hard! There is a lot of I beams, are they worth more than scrap? I don't know if its possible, but would be fun to get one of those compressor running, but maybe take up too much time?!
Oh and the ol Volvo is harder to crush for me , they are real tough, the rear in are good for street rods , Nero and tough,get it so you can put wider tires on the street rods, loll, thanks BigAl.
You need some ac in your truck
16:04 You need a visit from Post10 😄👍
Great to see that Volvo getting crushed. Hope you can crush some more Volvos in the future!
Hey!
Volvos are uncrushable!
I seen it on TV!
😂
Remember that controversy?
They are very tough built, but they can’t hold up against the machine
HI SILAS- - I noticed you have a lot of junk yard followers, We do like your work.. I do ! Poor old volvo I know its all about money .. THANKS...
Neat videos. I know you can't save them all and run a business but man that 240 looked pretty clean.
Maybe you should try and crush a car without doors on it that would be interesting
Hello from morocco guys ^-^
Great as always. Thanks
golly Silas you're as busy as a bee today, not forgetting the videoing, editing etc etc!
I usually stay up all night doing the editing. It’s fun tho.
hi YOUR THE BEST . can you crush that blue bmw at the front of your junk yard?
I see the belts on it now that you are hauling it
You can't let a nickel hold up a dollar 👍
*HoW dArE YoU crUsh a 2005 Chevy Impala!!!!*
I'm kidding.
My car crusher doesnt have a remote so ihave to use the control on the cruisers
Any Bloopers?.. like the claw loosing one?
I asked Silas that once, he said "not yet".
I was really hoping you would crush the baler.
Silas new sub here.
I just saw those words. DETROIT DIESEL. Oh yeah . Would you know if it's a 4V71 or a 6V71 or even bigger? Detroit's are fantastic engines. Sound awesome 2.
Thanks for another great vid. . Silas have you ever thought about making an offer to buy out the business where you take your crushed cars ?
That would be way too much overhead for me. I can barely manage what I’m doing now haha
With the screader yard being so close to your yard why not just take your scrap to the screader? Maybe I'm missing something.
If I came to visit you one day and drove in with my 2000 Toyota Avalon, what are the chances I'd find my car squashed after we did the courtesy tour?
Is that a old bar bailer or belt driven, looked like a new holland 846 but no lettering on the side
That Volvo was too nice to crush. Unless it had something really wrong with it, Ida kept it and tried to sell it.
Southern scrap mobile alabama
shame the volvo is not here in the uk they sell for a lot of money now
So do you run a scrapyard or an auto salvage yard and just process scrap cars and extra scrap metal on the side?
We love watching what you do!
Please explain the Radiation check you do. Is that a thing by you?
Thanks
When I think of radiation I think of hazmat suites not guys in blue jeans and tee shirt
I really enjoy your videos and most of all Iove your attitude. If I'm not gonna make money on it It'll crush or scrap. All the young guys without a job need to get off the puter and go to work for you instead of talkin crap in the comments. Sad about the Volvo. I've got a 85 wagon with 287 thousand on the original engine. Put a clutch in it and it keeps on goin. Best to you and keep on workin for you not an audience. I'm 68 by the way or I'd make it out to Kansas and make a buck workin in the scrapyard..
👍👍👍🙂
I wondered, how you decide what cars to crush or take to the shredder, looks like alot of the cars have been there a long time, but the one's that are more recent, you crush. what happens to all the one's that sat there a long time, or are old??
I have another question it might be a stupid question to some but anyways what do you do with old gas.
I just wonder how many subscribers are also either in the business or learning so they can be in the business, lol
🙂👍
I’m noticing some cars that have wheels with no tires on them. Seems strange that it’d be worth the trouble to remove just the tires?
Is there something they can do with radiation? Or do they have to dispose of it somewhere else?
Is there a weigh problem hauling 3 or 4 crushed cars on your trailer?
Hello, I have two questions for you. Why would anything be radioactive? and why don't you collect one type of car or truck?.
Maybe you have said it before but how come you dont use a bigger trailer like a gooseneck? Haul 2 stacks of cars instead of 1
Silas why cant you haul 3 crushed cars to the shredder instead of just 2 ?
Why don't you tell us how much you get per load that would be interesting too
How often does the shredder pay you? Monthly? What is the next step for them? Semi truck with containers? Rail cars?
Depending on what it is and the company we sell to, sometimes it’s the next day, sometimes weekly, sometimes monthly
Radiation is that a problem in your area?
You seem to be the place where old Pontiac’s go to die!
When do you check on the RADIATION ? Is it a certain material or where something comes from ? Just curious.
Just heavy pipe
@@AdventuresMadeFromScratch Where does radiation come from and what are the ranges of safe compared to not safe? Thank you.
I was wondering how do you siphon the gas and do you you it in your truck?
I hit the tank with a pick and drain it into tubs which I then ship off to be recycled
Thanks for your reply I used to have a tow truck in the 90s I'd use the pic but I'd end up using the gas in my tow truck I'm just trying to get back into it now but with a pickup truck and tow Dolly
Why do you have to check for radiation? Is that a problem in your area?
To get in the business of scrapping cars what kind of license or what do you have to do to make it legal. Also is it the same in every state or is it different in other states.
It varies from state to state and even different cities have different rules. We have several licenses
Hopefully this doesn't sound like a stupid question, but where does the radiation come from in some of the loads that are brought to you?
If something has been buried or under ground like oil well stuff it can become raidioactive.
How does the scrap get weighed? Or how else do you determine how much to pay for it? Thanks
We have a set of truck scales for them to pull on
weigh in with the load then weigh out empty subtract the difference= net weight of the scrap
@@AdventuresMadeFromScratch thanks, I hadn’t seen your scale. Maybe that would be an interesting topic sometime. I really enjoy your videos.😊
May I ask, why such small loads? just curious is all. Seems like it would be more efficient if you have a bigger trailer and took 6-8 at a time. What's the secret?
It’s only 5 blocks. I’d spend more in time on chaining down 8 cars than it’s worth. With 2-3 cars I can zip back and forth quickly
@@AdventuresMadeFromScratch Ah derp on my part, makes sense. It seemed close to you in the videos I just didn't think about the effort restraining such a large load. Thanks man.
How much radiation do you find in scrap that comes in ?
way ar u checking for radiation on old iron
Car 1930
You mentioned about the drought. When it's an emergency or something like that are you allowed to use your torches to cut up scrap or do you have to wait for better conditions?
There’s no law against torching even in a drought. I don’t cut in tall grass with anything other than a sawzall tho. I drag stuff out to the road or a bare spot
so why do people sell to you instead of going straight to the shredder yard
That's exactly my question too. Must be secret cause he ain't saying.
