Harbor freight! Look to see if there's a store close by to avoid shipping

The 1000 pound stand is just fine , I generally use a 1250LB stand for everything ...

That one is the minimum I would go with.

Like I said even the 2000 lb one:

That I have is a bit unstable with a fully dressed iorn head FE on it.

One of the rear wheels is kind of touch and go.

Perhaps I'm overly sensitive but I wouldn't skimp here, particularly for long term moveable storage.

I have decided to go with a 1250lbs one from summit it has 4wheels and the bottom legs are very wide so that should help with stability some.


Thanks Yall!
