      Hi Silas , I would guess that people just leave stuff outside yr gate ? My old cj was a 4.25 litre straight six with 3 fwd and 1reverse ( hi/lo 4wd/2wd) was best tool on the farm 😊

    Don’t feel bad about crushing them all. They’re your cars, if they wanted them they could’ve bought them to start with. I’m pretty much given up on selling on marketplace, too many scammers, people wasting my time, they want me to throw in delivery or give it to them. It’s just not worth it. I am just a part time reseller, I pretty much just sell on eBay now. If they want it, they pay and I ship it out. I’m happier and the buyers seem to be better as well. Thanks for sharing your time and adventures. Peace

    Silas that back half of the car could be a really cool camper. You could use the back door on either side to get in and out and then basically modify the trunk area for storage. It would be a pretty cool little pull behind.

    Silas, Thank Youvery much for the entertaining video. The forks on your loader are like a pair of hands and you manipulate it so well for multiple tasks in the scrap yard/ People have no right to be critical of your operation because doing your part to clean up local farms and properties . Also a major portion of this crushed cars ,tires and rims get recycled instead of being dumped and buried in a landfill.

    Silas that is a 1973 Dodge Polara, a lot of Police car collectors would love to have that 71 through 73 are interchangeable, And somebody might want to make a Clone cop car out of it. Watch the original walking tall ithad 1972s in Also the movie dirty Mary crazy Larry, All the black and white patrol cars were 72 Dodge Polaras, The only difference between the 71 to 73 is the most piece rear bumper and Tail lights.

I'm still trying to sell a split window vw bus, getting messed around so much with dreamers and lowballers, I wish I lived closer so I could borrow your crusher!! It's a good thing you have Shawn to help sell things, as fb can be such a waste of time!

    Love the comments on the R109 SL.
    "It's worth so much money."
    I can only assume they, in fact, know nothing about the collector car market.
    The R109 is so common in good condition that rough ones aren't wanted, especially as the restoration costs outweigh the final value.
    And 'parts cars' aren't really a thing because pretty much everything is available brand new from Mercedes Classic.

    Love the cliffhanger. It was satisfying watching the hummer bite the big one. I agree as far as listing things for sale. Not worth the hassle half the time. Between low ball offers. People wanting a discount because they have to drive 20 miles. It gets old real quick. Ebay isn't much better. After they take out their fees. There is no profit to be made.

    I see with somebody else's criticizing Silas for crushing and Sarah closing the pressure and selling parts. Everything that Silas has his business model very well figured out after going to the School of hard knocks. Also he grew up I think in the business and his father taught him well. Of course I'm a big fan of silas. So I may show A little favoritism. But as my grandmother would say putting your pipe and smoke it bud. Her mom is full-blooded Indian on the reservation. I think that pipe thing is an old fashioned way of telling somebody to show it with a son don't shine if you don't like it. Smile a little bit after you read this. Think about a woman in the United States telling you to shove it. You have to have respect. Since this is an election year let me state this. This endorsement I've made of silence has not been paid or sought for by any recycler or scrapper directly. And it's just my opinion shape around what my grandmother told me. 🤣🤣😎

The one I had blinkers on the front part of the fenders where you could see them when turned on seated 6 legally 8 back then when no one cared I was in high school we would pack them in and go off campus for lunch!! Maybe on or 2 in the trunk lol
