[QUOTE="nathon918, post: 5222128, member: 86827"] I went with a 8 x #40 W beam (H beam) and run a 5 inch cylinder... with a 14" tall wedge the center of the beam moves up maybe .020" if I stall the ram while splitting...I wouldn't want to go lighter than a 8 x #35. with a big splitter that you don't intend to move by hand, weight shouldn't be an issue...mine weighs around #3200, tongue weight is around #300 so theres no moving it by hand [/QUOTE]
