farm ,highlift jack

[SCWOOD]

Can someone recommend a farm or high lift jack. Yes I did a search! they seem to be a lot of options out there with prices around $100. I plan to use it to pull t posts lift my Kubota bx and other chores. Thanks!

Just be sure to keep the pins lubricated and be careful to watch each pin, making sure it engages as you use the jack. Lots of people have been hurt because a pin didn't fully engage while lifting or lowering.

I buy mine from Harbor Freight. All I have seen seem to have similar workings. When using ensure that you stabilize your object to be lifted. They have a tendency to tip over, unlike a floor jack.

Unless you are a very careful type of individual I think that is the most dangerous tool,next to a chain saw, that you can use.

Years back I got a good deal on a HiLift jack and have used it like the OP is suggesting. It always worked but you can't hurry the operation. There are cheaper copies out there but I would still buy HiLift.

I could not agree more. I've had them slip on me and luckily I was a safe distance away when the chit hit the fan. That said they are very useful when used safely.

As stated in Mother Earth News many years ago; when lowering jack, stand back or eat teeth!

Ditto above. We were moving a truck box off a cube van and the old jack shot out whopping someone on the side of the head. They work good for posts, but then again your loader does too if you can get at the post.

NEVER, NEVER, NEVER let handle get out of your control... If it gets loose it tends to what to take your teeth out.....
