With a Hi-Lift jack, a tractor jack as the farmers call it... if you lift it really high, the loads tend to shift to the side one way or the other. Also never raise or lower it, over the handle, they have knocked a many a tooth out...or should I say teeth. If they get to bouncing down, the handle, it's just liable to do anything on the way down. With the mention of those minor problems, we have lifted houses, huge tractors, equipment, and they keep holding up...to the abuse. They do bend, and tend to start hanging up after huge lifts only and idiot would try to lift...we have done it many times...lol..! Lyle Lathem 1985 Vanagon GL Quinlan, TX Got it running today..!!. |
