How-To: Install Stabilizer Legs for Hi-Lift Jack

[@cubehire3653]

Two 2X4's instead of those metal legs attached to each other by a 0.5 inch threaded rod is the bargain way to stabilize your Farm Jack into a tripod. Those metal legs are nice but costs more than the jack.

[@tjmoneybags]

always cheaper options....but the whole point was SAFETY. 2x4s break, slip or get driven into the ground. The whole point is this solution DOESNT SLIP and Kill you.

@@tjmoneybagsBuy two 2x4x8s cut them both in half. Now screw them together in the shape of stock angle iron. It’s heavier and bulkier but it won’t snap now and you’ve saved yourself $250.

4 years later and the price is still too high.

[@lesliebrew4789]

9 years later and it is still too high. You can make one yourself for a fraction of the cost.

How can stabilizer legs be 3 times more than a jack? Riddle me that one.

Where do u buy this item

[@waytospergtherebro]

You can buy 3 genuine Hi-Lift jacks and rig them together for about the same amount of money as this thing.

Nice but the legs will not work in uneven terrain. I have built legs from rebar with a big nut on the end (2 legs) that can fixed to any of the jacks holes. So I can have 2 legs at different levels to maintain overall stability. I also built from steel plate and rebar a large base so that the lift does not sink into the ground. I do not have a golf course but rather a uneven wooden acreage. When I have to pull small stumps it makes me happy.

Too expensive for what can be accomplished with cheaper (and just as good) materials. $289 for what can be accomplished with a few steel pipes or 2x4's.

[@S0ul5Hun73r]

$200? are you serious? buy a couple of 2x4s and a 1inch thick long bolt ... you welcome

[@salhaddad5]

Angelus. I agree.

[@smicheli]

Plus, he has an additional base on this that is attached to the jack, making it easier. I wonder how this would perform without the base. The jack would probably sink into the ground.

Vivre sur le dos des autres... ça me rappelle un mec qui s’appelait Duroudier (je me demande s’il n’est pas mort d’avoir trop profité des autres)

[@nukeyly4901]

At 289 $ it is Grand Theft. Build your self.

[@mr.green2341]

$289 for these ones, and I saw on a “pro equipment” site the same ones being sold for $650! Talk about serious price gouging! Absolutely ridiculous!

[@threeriversforge1997]

I love seeing all the comments complaining about the prices! You wanted that "mandatory minimum wage" right? You supported all those taxes and regs that get applied to small businesses just as much as they do big conglomerates, right? Think you can make them cheaper.... but then you don't factor in your time, something that this company can't do. Sure they could make them cheaper if they didn't have to pay the employees! People complain about how you can't find "made in America" anymore, but when something is made in America they refuse to buy it because it's so expensive, and the only reason it's so expensive is because people are always demanding more and more and more.

[@AnonYmous-iw6rh]

$191.00 LMAO🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@FeguerFineArt]

This is why people don't buy American, this is way over priced for what you get. I'll just make my own and save a lot of money.

[@vroor32]

He wants to be a millionaire 🤣

[@Casmige]

You all have absolutely NO IDEA about R&D, Production costs, minimum Quantity Order requirements, shipping & packaging, warehousing, & that? It’s just to get the material produced nothing to do with selling a single unit yet to the general public which has its own logistics & costs. Remain a wage slave while cûcking yourself to cheap Chinese crap All the while complaining about the price of “Made an America”. Idiots.
