I have a TW6 that feeds into an old hay elevator. I'm trying to raise the beam up about 6". I know some people put the splitter on car ramps or Jack's, but I'm a little nervous about what would happen if a split got wedged in the conveyor and rocked the splitter back. My kids sometimes split for me and they aren't always very observant. So me and a buddy got to brainstorming and we came up with bigger wheels. He offered up a set of 24.5" budd wheels and tires off a semi. They would stand almost 44" tall and would lift the axles up 14" or so. Only problem is I think they'll be in the way of the log lift. I also have a set of 17" truck rims with 32" tall tires on them. That sould give me an extra 10" or 12". That might be a better option but I'll have to fit it up to see. I know I have to make an adapter for the rims. Does anyone see a reason it wouldn't work, if it clears the log lift? This splitter will never be towed on the road. And I know I'll have to extend both legs as well.
Another up side is it should roll easier in the field.
