I've seen the local rental Co. grease the I-beam when a splitter is returned, yet I've never done that. Didn't think there was that much drag there. Maybe I should start.
Speaking of cylinder oil temp, I was wondering about that too. I once thought my first engine on my splitter locked up because either it wasn't getting enough oil circulated inside because of the cold/viscosity or the hydraulic oil was thicker because of the cold causing the engine to strain. We've been over that before and it was probably just a bad engine. Still, I was wondering about one of those dip stick oil heaters for cars inserted into the oil reservoir of a splitter. Really needed?
