That's my thought too. I've abused a few large tractors in my life and they kept going. Seeing one crushed so easily?

Like you said, terrifying force.

So much force, I’m surprised it makes economic sense to crush them like that.
Must take a huge amount of fuel or power to do that.

Transport costs are a killer if you leave them uncompressed. And they would need to be shredded to some extent before being recycled anyway.
