Limited Series/Documentary, 60 Mins.

"Giant Mower" Teams make giant wheat-cutters.

Very amusing show where two teams build something functional from common items found in a junkyard. Tonight show has a steam powered car and a giant wheat mower. Should be funny and useful

happy holidays

Tonight two teams made power pullers. The idea was to bulid a car that could go into a type of tug-of-war. It was a great episode.

Teams: The Orange Team ----- The Yellow Team


Winner: The Yellow Team

This evening,the two teams made diving equiptment(helmet and pump)and had to dive 20 feet and collect treasure.The two teams were called 'Art Attack'and 'The Young Ones'.It wasn't the best we'd ever seen, but still quite good.The winners were 'Art Attack'.

I'm sorry, I'm reading the follow up on the junkyard wars, but it doesn't say where or when it took place. Any information? Thanks.

Junkyard Wars is a TV show that comes on Wednesday evenings. It's on TLC The Learning Channel. It's a British show, in which two teams are given an assignment to build a functional machine out of materials found in a junkyard. Each episode has a different project. It's really an interesting show. Check it out.
Merry Christmas

THAT WAS HILARIOUS! (to say the least) the one teams mower was doing great (basically they put 2 toms of combine onto a little toyota pickup, this team was doing great until the clutch fell out of the truck. THe other team that won had a lot of trouble, they used 4 lawnmower engines on the back of an old cab, which was great if they got the lawnmower engines going, of which they could only get one, which later quit, they couldn't get any of them running so one of the team members took off a mower blade and used it as a manual scythe! Then they got another mower engine and blade going and were able to use that and win the competition.

My god was that FUNNY!

The wheat cutters last night, that was the best episode yet. If the people in the pickup would have got enough wheat in that flimsy bin of theirs I bet it would have collapsed on top of them,the bottom and supports were way too thin. I think it was a little unfair when they (pretty much) got a JD header and a feeder house to use.
I think the other guys went wrong when they used several lawnmowers, proved to be hard to start and unreliable. They threw a couple belts, they should have put some idlers on the belts to try to keep tension.

For those that didn't see it, they were harvesting wheatlage, not the grain. Could you imagine them trying to get any grain with their contraptions???? :) I enjoyed it a bunch. :) Too bad they didn't find a manure spreader chain, or much lighter raddle chain instead of that heavy 3-chain feeder one they were using. I agree they seemed to have the whole rig right there with having the grain header, the other guys should have used 1 bigger engine to run all those blades.
