I cant say Ive ever seen a tire squeezer machine before. What kind o tires were they that they just didnt get taken off with a bar Pete?
I know alot of tough old guys like you guys were talking about. Ive come to the conclusion that most of the "toughness" in those old guys, is pure stubbornness!

It's for rims that are going for scrap. Much faster than spoons.
Here's an example of one.

If you aren't being dumb they're no more dangerous than a log splitter.
Definitely wear gloves to prevent getting stabbed by belts in nasty old tires and wear safety glasses if you don't wear seeing glasses like I do or you'll end up with a lot of dirt in your eyes. My glasses have Poly Carbonate lenses so I'm pretty well set in that department unless it's something severe.

Sheldon here is one in action.
YouTube - WHEEL CRUSHER
Imagine that guy going about 2x as fast as he is and then just throwing the crushed rims into a low side dumpster and putting the tires in a loader bucket to be put in a 100 yard walking floor trailer.
And here's one for Nick:
Here's how well MTLs work in mud
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5zt9L...eature=related
In this video: Yellow = ASV = MTL, White = Bobcat = CTL
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JVNZn...eature=related
Now if you're in crushed stone the CTL will outlast the MTL undercarriage and it's cheaper to rebuild. By a LOT. MTL rebuilds done by CAT can be in the neighborhood of 8-10 thousand dollars.

Lisa...prolly a good deal if you had an 04 2 wheel drive and wanted a 4x4 diesel
the only thing would be the salvage title if you ever sold it
I got $9000 for my 95 f150 4x4 with 120k miles in 2004 when it got totaled
