Crushing Cars + Big Equipment + Mud & Demolition= Tv Show?!?

What happens here

Transport the three selected pieces of heavy equipment – the Bobcat 753 skid steer, the CAT 966c wheel loader, and the CAT TL642c telehandler – to Jim's auto wrecker yard. Each machine will be put through a series of practical tests to evaluate its speed, strength, and agility in maneuvering through the muddy conditions, picking up cars, and delivering them to the car crusher. The goal is to identify which machine performs best under real-world operating conditions.

Goal: Evaluate the performance of three heavy equipment options in Jim's junkyard.

Tools and materials

  • Auto Crushing Machine — The stationary equipment where cars are delivered for crushing
  • Bobcat 753 Skid Steer Bobcat — Testing maneuverability and lifting a single car
  • Cars — Items to be moved and crushed during testing
  • CAT 966c Wheel Loader CAT — Testing lifting multiple cars and heavy-duty movement
  • CAT TL642c Telehandler CAT — Testing extended reach, precise placement, and unique maneuverability

worth it to him. Right in here, guys. All right. We can't just talk about it. We've got to actually [music] put them to the test. And so, we're going to bring these three pieces of heavy equipment out to his site and we're [music] going to use them in the real world. So, we're going to be putting these to the test in speed, strength, and agility. [music] We're going to see which piece of heavy equipment can maneuver around, pick up a car, deliver it to the crusher, and get the job done the fastest. All right, Tim, fire it up. Look at that baby. Look at that thing. It's a beast. That's a Bobcat 753 that's got [music] solid rubber tires. You're not You're never going to get a flat out here. You're never going to have any problems with this thing. It's nimble. [music] It's quick. Definitely under budget for you. All right, Tim. Let's Let's go move a car. Let's show Jim what this thing can do. Are you serious? It's moving it. So, when we first seen [music] that Bobcat, I thought Jim's eyes were going to burn holes through my skull. I could tell he wasn't very happy right away. And it did struggle. I mean, when we [music] tried to move that car, it could barely pick it up. In fact, I had to hop on the back just to give it a little extra weight to keep it from flipping up. So, I got to tell you, Tim, your choice of bringing that Bobcat out there, you know what? I was actually pretty impressed with the way you were able to handle it. That's a fun, nimble machine. [music] Now, I couldn't imagine anybody else being able to do that. And the way you were able to spin that around and make it dance and it it was small and it was just the right size for you. It's not the size, it's how you use it, right? [music] I didn't even think that it would move a car as far as it did. I think it's a joke. I mean, if Jim [music] was running a smart car salvage yard, that may be the right choice for him, but forget it. It's not happening. That's enough of that one. Yeah. Well, next one will be better. It's got to be. Come on, Tim. Bring that one in. Check that out. Look at that, baby. The big beefy boy came in and we knew that it was going to be able to handle the situation. It's got giant tires and it actually can go faster in reverse than it can in forward. It has a top speed of around 26 mph and 170 [music] horsepower, which is just the right amount of power to pick up three cars at one time and move them around Jim's yard. That's more like it. Yeah. Yeah. Problem is, we didn't…
