ebinmaine 68,514 #1 Posted May 27, 2018 I've posted in other threads about this rig in the past. It was most likely a commercially sold splitter when new. It was rebuilt and upgraded by the previous owner. He is a professional logger and the wood he burned is the bottom stumps of the tree after the feller comes through... He cut them off and took them home. Free wood but big and hard to handle and split. Our machine has a 20 ton or larger ram, and the push head and splitting wedge have both been added on to for splitting larger pieces. Well it still had the little 4.00/4.80 x 8 tires and rims and we knew when we got it that both wheel bearing sets were beyond trash. Also, the height of the work beam was just at the wrong level... Several inches below where your back is bent just a little too much. I pulled off the wheels and bearings and discovered that the axle stub fit a set of hubs I had here so I replaced the assembly on both sides with 15" trailer tires.... Just fit!!!
