Hi Steve, I had to go and check, because I couldn't remember the wheel at all! Oddly enough, it's right at your toes about 8" out from the side log supports on the right side of the machine. Which means I have been probably stooping somewhat for 4 years without noticing it.

I don't know the height because the tires are in ice and the splitter is also blocked up on the left side, since it's on a pretty good slope. I was working the uphill side in the fall, so maybe the stoop was lessened. Wish it was spring -- I could figure it out better! Actually I wish it was spring for a lot of reasons!
