Log splitter works great if u dotn care about the tire and rim....just be careful of alu. Alu shatters...the steel rims bend in a v. The 3 point tire crushers they sell online are just modified log splitters with 2 extra rams to bend into a triangle. Can do same with log spitter...crush...flip 180...crush...flip 90....crush..done..rims fall off.
When short steel was higher did it all the time...cause I would still make money after paying the 1.00 tire disposal fee. For a while I dumped tires on rims..steel..off at Weitsman...they were paying 90 a
gross ton in spring..now its less than 2c a lb. But still this year i ran over 80000 lbs of tires on steel rims and netted over 5 grand doing it in 3 weeks.
Would obviously been higher if i broke down, but no time. And i had to move them quick cause junkyard was in foreclosure......3000 lbs a trip with a rented u haul trailer. After expenses i netted about 2500-3000
