how fast can you tow a log splitter. Or how fast have some of you guys gone while towing one.

For on the road I trailer my log splitter. It's got 12" wheels but it's not designed for high speed towing, nor is its 40 gallon tank mounted for the highway. Locally I would tow it up to 35mph for a few miles but not much more.
The problem is, most of them have no suspension, that is...springs. So at higher speeds they can really bounce around and it's hard to see them with the tailgate on the truck.
I towed mine at up to 40 mph but it was a harrowing experience. I couldn't see it so I watched it's shadow in my truck mirror and it was really bouncing around back there. I've heard horror stories about them flipping over on the road.
...I wonder what kind o an idiot it would take to do that?
Now Andy, Andy, Andy...
