I want to make wheel changes safer on our SP sprayer.
Currently use a large metal stand with bottle jack. The problem is usually lowering which isn’t very safe.
thinking either air powered bottle jack on the same stand or a “sprayer jack”.
Are they good? How much are they?

Have this jack and got it a special approx 500 and would not be with out it now and use it for tractors as well though don’t need it for the sp sprayer as she if off to Nfu auction ? and going to a mounted

The key is she has a lot more travel than a bottle jack so for float and rowcrop changes were a easy even on a gem sapphire so much so I was getting the tyre fitter to Change wheels yesterday so they could take away we ended up going for this jack

Do you have a telehandler? I made a frame that I can slip on the pallet forks, with some channel that sits under the front/rear axle. Far safer, faster and more adjustable than messing about with jacks, blocks, etc.
Obviously need to have enough room to access with the telehandler from in front & behind though.

that jack @Andrew and i both have is far handier than using a loader and far easier one person can do it them self and has persise control
we did the last wheel change in the middle off a field the other day and had a tyre fitter do it but we end up with my jack as it was far handier and he quite liked it as well

Worst thing about it is takes 2 people to lift it into a vehicle really, fine in the workshop on its wheels though. By the time you’ve made a forklift attachment, had it tested, got 2 axle stands, it’s probably cheaper as well as easier and more versatile.

I bought a shop soiled one a couple of years ago for £500. It's excellent for changing sprayer wheels. It has a high lift and a wide base for stability. Doing the row crops on the tractor is tricky as it's so wide you can't put it on anything other than the pickup hitch which makes the tractor a bit wobbly though if you drop the front suspension down onto its stops that cures the problem to an extent.
