Here is a few pics of our latest built machine.
Not trying to come off as being a D-head. Those machines are tonka toys. A scrap yard would be better off pounding a trailer or railcar then condensing it with something that small. The cylinders are the same size as a bobcat. Go big or go home. I am trying to condense scrap not split logs.

I agree with ya 100% PTS that machine would be a sorry waste of money. Kinda had it figured when he said the hydraulic pump was powered by a 5hp electric motor most log splitter's require much more.
I was going to use a 48 HP Kubota diesel to run the pump, with cylinders from a fairly large excavator that Jack had scraped out, and this still would have only been a very small press on the press with limited capabilities.
The press above looks like its best suited for baling cardboard.

We aim our machines at the smaller scrap guys that can't afford a $300,000 machine not the guys that do 400tons a week. But you would be surprised what it can do. Its actually powered by a 10hp electric which is about the same as a 25hp gas engine. Plus you have the mechnical advantage of the seesaw action of the lid. I didn't say this was the machine for every yard its a machine designed to condense white goods and scrap.
