I recently was given a 2012 Troy Bilt 27 ton log splitter that wasn’t running. After fixing a few things it’s now fully operational. I bought new bearing kits for the axles and want to replace the dry rotted tires.
It has 4.8x8 tires on 3/4” axles. The tires are marked not for highway use and say not to exceed 45 mph. The tires I’m buying are rated for highway use and have an 81 mph speed rating.
How fast can you safely tow one of these with proper speed rated tires? I don’t want to harm myself or anyone else on the road. Is 55mph out of the question?
