    We kind of do the same thing at my buddies junk yard. He has a track loader that he rolls cars over to get to the cats, but he tries to keep the glass in tact. He fills the cars up with shred and the glass keeps it all tucked nicely inside the vehicle. But it is fun rolling those suckers over, I need to get a video of him ripping engines out of the cars without loosening bolts. LOL We hook a chain around the motor and he will pick the car up by the motor, shakes it like a rag doll until the motor breaks free. It is good fun.

    lol i couldnt pick up the whole car just one end i started out trying to pull the radiator out but just drug the car. we have had the bobcat since summer but this is the first time i used it on a car im sure i will use it from now on, like you say good fun learning new ways to scrap stuff me and my buddy describe our day as kindergarden recess . nah my girls dont like scrapping they did like running my sawmill but they are 11 and 12 which is really like 20 and 21 and since they quit racing they have really girled up on me. i may let them use a bobcat on a car because when i first got it they wanted to dig the first 2 or 3 weekends and they were real naturals i think its easier to learn that type of thing when your younger

    Ive scrapped many cars that i would've loved to have that bobcat to do the same thing you did today.

    LOL we have scrapped 11 we can think of since the end of august(thats when we started scrapping) we have had the bobcat the whole time and today is the 1st day we used it we have been using a jack on the car hauler to get to the alum wheels and the cats. we just got a heavier winch so now we can unload the cars and load them back up, with this combination we had all the goodies off the car unloaded to loaded in less than an hour and really took our time where it used to take probably about 3 hours
