OREILLYS TANK JACK VS BADLANDS OFFROAD JACK

[@schultp]

Nice follow up to your other video. I wish you showed them in action. A possible benefit of the Tank Jack on grass or soil would be that the surface area of the tank treads might help distribute the load without much compression and sinking in the terrain. The Badlands jack, while easier to move, might have its wheels sink into the terrain more easily when a load is applied. But, I agree that the Tank Jack is more for looks over function.

The Badlands actually has more surface area to displace the weight to the ground and prevent sinking. The entire bottom of the Badlands has a belly pan so once the wheels settle in the surface all of the weight is displace across the belly pan so it won't sink.

@mericanfreedom8347 Sinking the wheels into the ground to the stage where the belly is resting on the ground isn't really a benefit. When a raised vehicle is lowered a jack needs to subtly move as it goes through its lowering arc. Without this controlled minor roll a frame can slip off the jack creating a potential hazard.

I just use an aluminum 1.5t and a street sign offroad. It's nice to carry a floor jack one handed. Plus the street sign doubles as something to lay on.

Brother, strap that tank jack to the back of your four wheeler and pull it around for a while to break it in.

[@m9ovich785]

Either Jack needs to be on a HARD surface when used so It can roll when jacking due to the Arc as the beam assy rises up. The big Wheels and Tracks just make it to move it around un loaded...

Sucks that no one is making an American made jack.

[@killerknight2oI9]

gonna cost a lot more than some other ones

[@timmturner]

Snap-on makes some of their jacks in America and you are going to pay dearly for it. They are great however and if you ever have an issue with the jack there are parts readily available to fix it.

A jack with 8 rubber wheels would be best.

It's a tank jack, no wonder why it rolls like a tank. 😂😂😂😂😂
