You know you've got a badass machine when you can crush/chop multiple engines at the same time. WOW.
I wonder how often they have to repair/replace those blades/teeth.

When I saw the preview say "a cars worst nightmare", I figured the thread was about Nissan's CVT... I would hope they'd have SOME value if they were recyclable.

I was wondering the same. And what material those blades are made of too. Impressive machine.

I think it's pretty cool that thing is track-mounted, so they can drive it anywhere in their facility it's needed... I bet the leading edge of those blades are made from either AR steel, manganese, or perhaps something with a tungsten carbide overlay.

Wow, that thing is terrifying. Just as cool though.
