You have issues. I have a backyard full of maple leaves that need to be removed.
It will make my piece of America great again.

So let me ask you this?
Are all the components on your rotisserie made in America?

One thing I noticed, tire size, if you're going to roll it out in your gravel-dirt driveway you need large diameter tires (14-16" or bigger). Those little ones will dig into the ground and won't roll. I've been looking at a set of tow dolly wheels to slip on when I take outside to pressure wash.
I also made small screw jacks for each wheel, takes pressure off rubber tire and stabilized the whole unit, no wiggles.
I know mine was made overseas but I keep updating and making it work easier as I use it. Looking for a worm drive so as to crank it around to any position that I need, no need for a pin or to lock down. It's one of the best, most useful things I've ever bought.

That looks like a real nice heavy duty unit for the money.

I got mine from John @ UScartool. I paid $1200 but that was back when they first started selling them. They are much more $$ now.

I built mine as well.

Here is a rotissorie I built several years ago. I featured it before over on Garage Journal, one of several other forums I frequent.

Features include: (1) arbor locks with spring loaded pins where the pin handle holds the pin in the retracted position for one man operation; (2) hydraulic jacks for raising but hitch pins in double shear to ensure arbors are concentric; (3) bushed center of gravity adjuster to raise or lower body to adjust for balance (use deep well socket and impact gun on coupling nut); (4) caster wheels with brakes at all corners - I used an oil pan drain bolt to lock wheel at 90 degrees; (5) push handles on both ends.

I studied many designs out there before building this. Most suffer from lack of keeping the arbors concentric which basically creates a bent crank and impedes rotation. I wanted to ensure concentric axis of rotation yet be able to tune the offset to get the car's CG on the axis of rotation which then balances the body. The nut and pneumatic impact make it quite easy. The hitch pins keep the axis of rotation in alignment without stress on the jacks

The unit above looks very well built. How do you rotate it?

By hand once balanced. Grab the t-bar and spins nice.
