    The only problem is it is really heavy and you just don't pick it up and move it very easily.

    I didn't have a front loader or a fork lift and had to move it about 25 feet to were it now sits. You should have seen it the way I rigged it up to pull and lift :) Did it all by myself and put a horse stall mat under it to. It won't be moved anytime soon. :rolleyes:

    If it has a gauge on it and you don't pump it up past what your service manual PSI limits are set for. I tend to not trust the PSI reading on tire hand pumps. I use a Progressive hand pump or a Harley hand pump. Do you have a service manual or owners manual to go by?

    Re: air pump

    i have tried all sorts of hand pumps. they will pump the required air needed, but when ya try to remove the nozzle, you loose the air, even if over filled. i ended up getting a harley pump......in the long run it was cheaper, and works!!! good luck.........:)

    Yes, the Harley pump is well designed and won't lose any air when you pull it off the valve stem. Very accurate--glad I got it.

    I have the Progressive Suspension pump...same as the Harley pump without the logo...pricing is similar...$40.00 range...they're the right tool for the job.
