I needed to do some mid winter work on the Husqvarna GT52 garden tractor so I thought I'd make a short video covering the new lifts usefulness. Although I clearly need to build ramps for it, the lift is great for this type of work!
Y'know, it is not necessary to run the throttle WIDE OPEN whenever you drive your tractor. Thats just when mowing or working. You can lower the throttle to drive about, especially when driving up onto a lift. !
We were talking about getting one of these or something like it. My husband fixes push mowers, Lawn Boys are the specialty. :) He does need one of these. Thanks for the review.
Man I doubt this one could pull that off. I wouldn't go past 5500lbs. just to be safe. I do love it though and it works with frame on stuff like my old 95 Toyota T100 as good as modern unibody stuff.
Awesome score Eric !!!!!!!I've been wanting a lift , maybe 1 day ????You were right , I love the Johnny Bucket and Sleeve Hitch on my GT6000 , Its actually amazing what I can do around here with it .
It really does make that garden tractor into a "Real Tractor" doesn't it? I've done some pretty heavy duty jobs with my setup around here over these last few years.
Good show last night good vid this morning. You are busy my man. Your on my list to look at often. My wife is cat lover. I was watching in the background. Dreams was a good topic.
We love our cats here at Farpoint. They have made a few special guest appearances over the years in the various videos I've uploaded. If you liked last nights show, hang in there as that was not our best. Hopefully I'll be over this cold and ready to go again for this weeks show. "future tech and lost cultures" I can't wait!
Her handle is cat lover but i figure you have cats in the backdrop. Icy morning here. Gotta leave early for work. Ill be wTching your next shows. Good work
I've been looking to see if there is a simple quick modification that would allow a lift like this to lift at the frame so I could pull wheels and do brake work on ATV's, golf carts, etc. I guess a jack stand type device might work but may not be worth the trouble.
Always nice not having to get up off the concrete and your back and knees hurt for the next hour , we ain’t getting any younger !! Looks practical and useful for many jobs 👍 what is the weight capacity ? Didn’t I see that Yugo up on it a few videos ago 🤔 ??
The weight limit is 6000 pounds, so more than enough for any of the vehicles I have here on the farm. I wish I had bought this last year, but no.. The Yugo was done entirely on the ground. This year when I started looking for my winter project I decided that I couldn't do that trick anymore and went out to find this lift. Now it's mid-winter and I STILL haven't found a project car. A little bummed, but it is what it is.
Exactly how would this help if you were going to "go ahead" and remove a tire? It seems to me leaving the tractor on the ground and jacking one end would work best for that.
Put a 2x6 across the lift and jack up which side you need. I think it would be better than on the ground. It would work for me, may not have thought that 40 yrs ago.
Just asking what can ya do with this besides Just Lifting it Seem,s to Me That It only can do that cause unless you Secure it some How it,s going to fall off Just saying If ya lift a wheel to change it will fall offHow do ya work on the Rear End If I want to lift it How ?Lot of My Hard Earned Money For Show Item ther been said don,t look Safe to me Could Be Wrong But show Me And I Will SAy Sorry Ok Thank,s Again
This lift it more for cars and trucks, but you can use it for tractors. I have since built a 3/4 inch plywood frame for it so that I can lift a tractor up, and then put it on jack stands to work on the trans or wheels. It's nice on the back!
Wouldn't take much thought to put some D rings on it like on a trailer, and use a 1" ratchet strap to secure the mower, atv, utv, golf cart, wheel chair, etc. to it.
