Hi Lift / Farm Jack, Any Good ?

[@t008mx]

2X 5 foot 2 by 4 bits of, wood drill hole a top , half inch thick 12 inch bolt for small 12 inch stumps I use a tripod .makes life a little bit more pleasant , the jack will not pull forward so much and all the pressure is taken up the the legs of tripod, it’s a bit fiddly but you become hands free so to speak .great video ,like the extra bolts for horizontal pulling never thought of that have a great week .

Hi Paul Paul. Sorry for the late reply. Thanks for the comments. Yes I will try that trick with the legs for stability. Cheers Calvin

Such a great bit of kit bit has to be modified with two 3x3x60 wood legs so it becomes a tripod. When pulling out tree stumps or posts the base tends to sit on what your pulling out. It's like lifting yourself up in a bucket! Got mine from Charlies in Queensferry Wales. Brilliant video mate. Some great tips.

Hi Road Warrior. Yeah its a very handy tool to have around the farm. Cheers Calvin

Excellent video! I liked that you showed the farm jack used in a variety of situations.

Here in the U S ‘n’ A that there’s called a farmer killer and I’m glad you understood they need to be respected. Many a man been karate chopped right half in two because they goof off with ‘em

The purple strap should be in the shackle, more of a inline pull and captured from slipping. I love my hi -lift jack!

Wow, excellent informational video. I'm definitely getting one of these farm jacks, very handy piece of equipment. I pulled 20 fence posts using shovel, pick axe & crow bar. Didn't i suffer, back breaking work. Wish i had known about the farm jack. Better late than never. Thankyou for sharing. 👍🏻👌🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻. Regards from 🇦🇺 .

Thanks for this Calvin, I bought one a while back and have yet to use it in anger. I've got a gate post on the farm needs pulling. It's been drilled into rock below so I'm hoping it has the power. Useful safety advice, seen a lot of dangerous practice on other vids.

Hi barlow2976. Thanks for the comments. Cheers Calvin

When trying to keep the purple strap on, push it through the hole then hook it over the end of the red bit...works for me. 👍

Many thanks for the review

[@gravediggermaxvabeachva]

good review - that ticket has many many uses for sure

[@mrbilllollar]

So in what part of Wales do you live? We lived in Pontypridd for 5 years and spent a LOT of time in the Rhondda Valley. 😊

Great video Calvin ☆☆☆☆

[@Martin-bx1et]

Could you screw a beam to the bottom of the foot - opposite to the handle - so that it counterbalances and keeps the handle off the ground?

[@IwanThomasBoy]

good video dad

[@cj4by4]

Very nice but for safety needs to said IT HAS TO CLICK AT THE TOP AND IT HAS TO CLICK AT THE LOWER POSITION also if you use a chain at the bottom you can have a brake when resetting the jack

[@andrewcdavies]

Can you alter the orientation of the top hook Calvin?

[@peacebeuntoyou8934]

Yes. Finally, someone mentioned it. 👍

[@HoopersGardenMaintenance]

Great video 👍🏼

[@jeromeradtke3015]

thank you for video.:)

[@caerleon87]

Something wrong with it.. I have a GENUINE "Hi-Lift" one, and it works a lot better, [do not have to move the handle all the way up] and a lot less "rattly" too..
