The Hammond Barn had looked at the 20 ton press but it isn't wide enough to fit the wheel/tire assembly far enough in to achieve much. It might be possible to create wider fame members. Do you have a feeling whether the 50 ton the press was working hard or way below capacity in removing the tire? Is that a 20" rim being used as the load spreader or did you have to go to a larger size to clear the (assumed) CMP 16" rim.
