[QUOTE="frogfarmer, post: 37614, member: 4075"] I would never use cinder blocks to hold the weight of a machine that might crush me. Cinder blocks are brittle and can go at the smallest change in load. I'm sure he was refering to hard wood blocks or at least wood blocks. I have spent hours under caterpillars in the 30ton range with hardwood(oak) blocks supporting the weight of the unit. I have seen cinder blocks explode from excess weight setting mobile homes. Probably only 10,000 lbs or so and when they go they go all at once. Dont risk your life with cinder blocks get some good wooden blocks and keep them around for the next project. [/QUOTE]
