My wife told me if I avoid 1 I can spend whatever I can afford on the other 2 - I'ts been a solid arrangement so far.

My other unique puller and the extra long rope that I can swap out when needed: Rope Pullers

The rope can be as long as needed with max leverage start to end, unlike a drum style cable come-along

I have an old bumper jack from an old car that my dad gave me which is excellent for jacking up a ZTR to clean the deck or replace blades. I do use a large block of wood as a backup but that bumper jack was lifting some really heavy autos in it's day.

That was when vehicles with bumpers to support them.

fair enough, although sometime the angle is awkward, and it can get challenging.

A mill face is all a pro framing carpenter uses.
There’s a reason it’s called rough framing.

IF you swing a steel handled hammer long enough your chances of developing elbow and tendon trouble greatly increase over a wood handled hammer.
I swung a hammer for more than 3 decades

Sorry, but that doesn't apply anymore.

As nice as bumpers and a frame were, no denying modern vehicles, crumple zones, etc are far safer.

Id rather be in a pillow that gives than an iron box that doesnt when going from 50-0 in a split second.
