The problem with roadside mailboxes is that they are usually built on public rightaway. Building a immovable structure on public property that caused injury or death could end in a legal nightmare.

The problem with the valve on the vent is that there is no visual indication as to what position the valve is in. Failure to open the valve could lead to excessive pressure build up causing hydraulic component damage.

I had the same problem and found that the vent in the fuel cap had some blockage causing a vacumm.

ATF handles higher temps but other splitter components don't handle the higher temps as well.

135 degrees is perfect. This temperature helps reduce moisture. Above 160 many hydrualic fluids start to break down.

I would be more concerned about the spindles and bearings used on most consumer grade splitters. Without suspension they are derated by 50 percent.

Normally the return line should never exceed 20 PSI unless there is a obstruction in the line.

For the return line you do not need hydraulic high pressure hose , only oil compatible hose.

If the engine came with a built-in fuel tank it most likely is a duel fuel engine. Look up the model and serial numbers for engine specs.

Impluse sprinklers have a minimum pressure and flow needed to operate properly. Ha the same problem. I have both city and well water available my impluse sprinklers would not function properly with the well, when switched to the cityhose bib the sprinklers worked as they sould.

I have made inserts for two trailers I have for hauling brush and leaves. The pole can telescope and winch receiver will accept either manual or electric winches.

Check the seat safety switch.

On hard surfaces after first pass to get the majority of the leaves make a second pass with the mower deck shut off. The spinning blades cause the leaves to blow out the side on hard pavement.

With the 6.5 hp engine a 11 gpm pump would be standard. Generally the pumps used on splitters are not rebuildable due to lack of replacement parts.

I needed a trailer that could transport my ATV an also go anywhere thru the woods that the ATV could go.
