    Taking a real vacation - without us along - was the smartest thing you could do. Glad you took that critical break. Also, as a fan of your channels, I really have enjoyed your cleaning the yard of so much automotive debris. I'm not a fan or piles of rusting junk, so I really appreciate what you've done for the land as well as yourself.

    I'm sure someone else has suggested this so I'm sure it's not a new suggestion but I think it would be an awesome investment for you to consider building or having someone else build a big oversized band saw for cutting off noses and trunks. Especially if it would be set up to run and apply constant pressure so you could set it and forget it and go process for the crusher in the meantime until you come back to a sliced off nose or tail or whatever... Just a thought! Keep up the good work!!

    I am one of the few that understands. I don't scrap whole cars, but I stock pile scrap parts from the shop I work at along with I hit up other shops in the area for their scrap. I'll just keep building a mountain of scrap until the prices are worth my time and effort to haul it in.

    You said you went to Texas for fishing. I'm ridgley from Southeast Texas Port Arthur. Some of the best fishing in the world in the Gulf of Mexico. Where are used to live. Now I live in Wichita and that's the main thing I miss is that fishing. Right now the speckled trout in the drum Reds 22 to 30 in Long. Some of the best fishing in the world is there. That's where you should have went. Beats that catfish. Course they got over 100 lb catfish out there in the Gulf of Mexico if that's what you really want.

    I really enjoy watching the car crushing. It's very gratifying. I found some other car crushing videos on CZcams. It's funny, cause I find myself yelling at the videos because some of these guys really struggle just getting vehicles in and out of the crusher! Your experience shines through! Good job! You seem to know that loader pretty well! Keep crushin!

  • @CAROLDDISCOVER-FINDER2525

  • @EfficientRVer
    @EfficientRVer Před 11 měsíci

    Time to start charging your dad a storage fee, maybe payable in crusher days. Though then maybe he'd ship out the crushed ones to avoid that, and start charging you for the crusher. Family businesses can be tricky to change the status quo at, but taking up so much of your space for years on end was a pretty big deal, and seeing it continue just due to scrap price changes, is another pretty big deal.

    My Late Uncle Dave had a Dodge Job Rated pickup truck. What was interesting about those trucks made in the early 50's , was you could change the steering wheel and pedals to the right side of the truck. And the instruments as well. But he sold it to my Uncle Harry and Uncle Harry was scrapper/mechanic and he squished it.

    @ronosga4391 Před rokem +1

    You never cut foundry steel, in Michigan all frames have to be cut to under 24" pieces to get premium prices. I wonder if our scrap has to ship by train so that's necessary, just interesting we also have to cut the fuel tanks out, I think guys were filling gas tanks with drain oil so they do that. It's a lot of labor up here to get worth while prices and that really depends on how much you haul in. Really enjoy your videos and seeing what sells out there compared to northern Michigan.

  • @CAROLDDISCOVER-FINDER2525

    Great transition early on. He show the battering-ram car and then you click over to the battery loading. 🤣 Well maybe because it's 1 a.m. and doesn't take much to make me laugh. You could load them batteries on the pallets. And put a chunk of lumber wrapped in sheet metal so it slides easily in between the upper and lower skateboards about the place you would put your forks through. Thataway it would not warp. It's up to you if that's advantageous. As that old saying goes you crushed it man!! Still interested in the truck that we spoke about.

    Great video and great job Silas. You’ve come a long way since I first subscribed. It’s a bit counterintuitive with scrap prices dropping while motor fuel is going up in cost. When I was selling scrap I’d hang onto it until fuel prices were at their highest. I don’t know that much about how it all works though

I see you get all of the ones you want to crush as close to the crusher to save steps. Wow that's a huge drop in scrap steel prices $60 a ton. Current scrap car price here in Nevada is $177.10 per ton. Thanks for another interesting video.
