This is designed and built by a friend of mine, it is not as cheap to make as you might think , it is rated to lift 12 ton , it can lift the back end of a case quad track . What value do you put on an accident caused by a tractor falling off a jack , it is selling very well to tractor repair shops and lads who do a lot of wheel changing, to lads who want to wash the tractor before bringing it into the workshop leaving the wheels outside out of the way , all I do know is that garages who had to be persuaded to buy this jack in the first place are now back buying their second and third jack , my local NH dealer has one and the mechanics say its the best tool in the workshop and is in full time use , they wouldn't be without it .
How much is it then @james ds
There is 500 in the wheels alone , a lot of money has gone into development , CE marking and patents , and the man had to make money . I agree it's not cheap , but for what it does , the men who have bought it don't think it's expensive , it is saving some of them up to 10 hrs / week , they don't be long paying for themselves and it will last a lifetime .
I like the idea a lot but also agree its too dear for me, could a static version be built without the wheels and a lighter duty one as I certainly don't want to lift a Quadtrac, 7 t capacity would be plenty, then maybe he could get the price to sub £1000?
Hrn have one looked at it on way up with the load in the summer.
Can't wait to see someone on YouTube hit 50k with it on.
That's his plan to get into the Guinness book of records for driving at 50 k on it , make an event out of it with all proceeds going to charity.
What would you have in mind , it can't be made any lighter or it might not be safe , it is selling away to farmers and dealers as it is so I can't see him making a cheaper version .
The farmer version will be more expensive to cover misuse at 50 k and chipping it Extra ariel and beacon brackets
