B3200 w/loader, Woods RC5 brush hog, 4' box blade, tooth bar, B1700 MMM,
Ordered it off Northern Tools it is a Katool 7000 lb scissor lift. I believe the height is 39” at full height. Great for doing brakes and any of the fluids. Center is clear to walk or work under. 120v/30A. You can permanently attach to the floor or attach wheels and move it (not easily) when not in use. Hydraulically operated and took almost 2 gal of fluid. Comes with a couple different size lifting blocks. The rams to get on lock in place and extend the lift by a foot on both ends. I have a Ridgeline and it lifted it with ease. Quite stable when up as well. It does have locks to hold the lift up and protect if a hose fails. There are no quick disconnects so once the pump is plumbed in, it stays connected unless you want to lose the fluid from the tank. Delivered it was 1300 lbs so no way to move it with my orange. Speaking of that the B1700 is wide enough to go on it. I may try that out tomorrow and do a quick blade service. It doesn’t come with a power cord but I had a few 10ga cables from old computer hardware that are 20’ long and have L5-30 plugs on them. I wired one in to the lift and then ran a 30A plug in the barn with a twist lock receptacle. Probably overkill but at today’s copper prices that would have been a couple hundred bucks. It usually takes me an hour to do an oil change and tire rotation with floor jacks and jack stands. Today it was 30 min and most of that was relocating tools from the garage to the barn and moving tractor implements around for more room. No sliding on the floor and dumping oil as I sloshed the pan.Inquiring minds need WAY MORE INFO!![]()
