Axle stands

mengele · 2018-01-05 16:41:51

Need to get the 4 rims on the tractor sand blasted. If I buy 4 6tonne axle stands would this be enough under it. Tractor is about 6 tonne? Don't have any timber rings safe enough for this job hence buying axle stands.

Say if there's a 40/60 ratio on the front to back axle, then the back axle would be 3.6 tonne, or 1.8 tonne split 2 ways on each stand. I'd say you'd be fine.
