well fellas i have not posted in quite some time but i just finished a project i wanted to share with you. i am pretty excited about this one. i built a small lift in my garage that i can either use inside or out in the driveway, it will lift my b7100 (loader and all) up to where the bottom of the tires are a full 53" off the ground. so far it will lift the Kubota, an exmark 72" z turn mower that weighs in at 1550lbs, golf cart and even snowmobile. i built it this winter and it took some doing but got it done. it is 8' wide 10' long and 60" tall. i used an electric motor with 650 ft pounds of torque and had to put hydraulic motorcycle brakes on it to slow the drop on it.
finished winter project

i will try to get a video up soon, it makes any kind of work a ton easier. my son seems to think it will lift his civic but i told him he better not even try. that might get a little harry. i think it will lift around 2000 pounds safely,
Safety stops. Must have a anti- collapse feature. My drive on hoist has two sets, in case of cable failure, it will only drop afew inches.
