@canteclear ... thanks for mentioning that links can be placed in the video description.

I have added a link in the description.

We built the tire press out of components we had available to us; it consists of a short steel hydraulic cylinder, an electric hydraulic power pack, two curved steel plates and some welding. I talked about it a few times on the website ... details can be found at wwwdarfieldearthshipcom. If you look under the construction->tires category there are a few posts on it ... I would post the actual link but youtube does not seem to allow url's in comments?

[northriver1000]

Yes, the tire packer worked out really well ... and it never got tired!

@northriver1000 OH! if you put a "h t t p : / /" (delete spaces and quotation marks!!!) in front of that link of yours, it will make it clickable too ;-)

[cantecleer]

@northriver1000 Youtube lets you put the link in your video's description, if you'd still be willing to :) ... (your comment explains how to get there fine tho, but it might help others to put the link if not too much trouble for you)

Please tell us about the hydraulic packing system you used: where did you rent/buy/borrow it, what are its components, details about its use, amount of time it required per tire, etc.
