answer 2
If yours is like mine then all 6 wheels swivel. I like that the legs fold up to save storage space. This unit is a dream to use even with big block engines and it rolls easily on concrete level floors even with a load in place. Remember to keep the loads between the wheels. Extend out too far and it can get nose heavy!

The boom folds down almost flush with the cylinder and the legs fold up. The floor space needed for storage when folded up is only the space where the casters are.

answer 2
Just look at the stock picture: the 2 long support legs fold backward, so they're straight up & down. Then you lower the boom down as far as it will go. So basically the whole setup will be just above those 4 wheels that are close together -- the rear & center sets of wheels. I have limited space here & I was able to find a spot without too much trouble.

My unit goes down to about the footprint of the rear four wheels. The front legs fold a little past straight up. The boom also folds down almost flat and parallel with the cylinder.

Are replacement hydraulic cylinders available through Northern Tool? If not where can you acquire a new cylinder?

The cost to have the hydraulic cylinder rebuilt is very high. R&R seems the best obtion.
