[QUOTE="patooyee, post: 503215, member: 483"] I have the 20-ton press, bought it about 15 years ago. The frame is somewhat flimsy for such a powerful cylinder. I've warped mine all to hell. Building a new frame is one of the many things on my mythical to-do list. The original jack that came with it seems to have been a great jack. I carry it on my big trailer to jack it up on the side of the highway when I blow out tires. It lifts the 6500 lbs trailer and both rigs on it with ease. I put one of their early pneumatic over hydro jacks on the press. It died only 2 years after I got it. I replaced it with another apparently new version and it seems to be doing fine. If I were starting over I would just buy the 20-ton air/hydro jack and build my own frame from scratch. The air/hydro jack is nice because cranking on the manual pump gets old fast and it also gives you a little distance to stand away from the press when you're really using all the power in case something shatters and creates shrapnel.
