    Did they post a weight rating on those tires? I'd complain to the seller if you are under that rating.

    They said they were "Wheel barrow" tires. So one would assume they could take a bit or weight. Heck, I've had 400lbs of cement in a wheel barrow with no trouble with the pneumatic tires, so I figured these would do the trick.... "NOT" :headbang: They came from some place in China and if you look on eBay there all over the place. :picard: I took them off and when/if they go back into shape, I'll figure something for them. :confused:

    Looks like it still splits good just a little hard to move around!
    It did look good with those Orange sneakers on it though!

    Parking a full loader bucket there is a stroke of genius, assuming you have a loader to park. Sure wish I did. I had considered putting a slightly smaller table on the operating side of my splitter also. I was afraid that it would crowd the operator a bit. How is that working out? I wonder if you need more room if you are hand loading from the operator side instead of pulling the rounds from a bucket?

    Long time browser, first time posting. Here is a pic of my 22 ton Oregon woodsplitter. 3 years old, 50+ cord split, with no major issues. Would recommend this splitter. IMG_20180113_121413322.jpg IMG_20180113_121422415.jpg

    I broke down and pulled the lever. Now I just need to get it out of my truck.
    That will be fun I thought it was going to be more in pieces which would have been easier for me to unload it. I guess they changed how much needs assembled now.

    It is working out very well. I would always load the side opposite the operator. I like the fact that when I split a piece it stays on the log catcher and log table. if it needs to be quartered I take the piece from the catcher and split it then take those two pieces of wood and place on my stack repeat with other half.
    As I get older I try to work smarter and handle the wood as little as possible.

    Congrats In the Pines! That's a fine purchase :thumbs: May it split many a round for you.

    You will love this machine. We just got the 30 ton fast cycle model. It is really that fast, I got just under 11sec on time with me trying to do stopwatch and pull lever. Love the way it slices thru knots. Only had a few rounds make it grunt for a second. Hope you can find a way to unload bit safely.
