I absolutely love my MoJack HDL 500. I haven't taken the deck off to clean it and change the blades in three years so far and counting. Some mowers have very heavy decks and can be a bitch removing and reinstalling them. The MoJack will lift the tractor in a minute up and a minute down. Who wouldn't love that.
Great review. Man. Since you posted his video 3 years ago those things have doubled in price. Home Depot has them today (7/16/23) for $379.00! I'm still going to purchase one though. I had a new Cub Cadet ZT1 50 inch deck delivered 4 weeks ago. I've got 2 herniated discs and just the tiny bit of lifting I had to do on the front end, to roll my new ZT1 mower off the pallet it was delivered on inflammed those discs! That was 4 weeks ago and my discs are still in pain. So I will be purchasing this Mojack HDL 550 soon. Thanks again for your review.
Thanks for this video; helped me out. Cost is not $240 but well worth it. Yes Sir, already figured out it will work on my boat and my 10 1/2 foot utility trailer. Very versatile and a tool many of us need.
Steve that jack is perfect to work on the tractor. A great price for such a handy jack. Makes getting at the tractor much easier. I just got a new floor jack for my car this morning from Canadian Tire. My old one was about 30 years old and it twisted last fall when I changed the tires on my father's car. So much easier to use than those awful scissor jacks that come with cars......Take care, Bluefin
Great features. Easy to use, and stores w/o taking up much room. No more dropping and dragging out the deck to sharpen blades. And more room to get to the rear drive belt and pulleys. My back feels better already. I can hardly wait for my local H.D.( Waldorf, Md- hint hint) to put it on sale. $150 is a good deal. Thanks for the video.
Nice video .... esp when you measured the lift height. I wasn't sure if the height specs on these lifts was at the deck or at the wheel Thanks to your vid I now know its at the wheel Very helpful and clear explanations. Cheers
I'm always putting a new belt on! This was nice better then two concrete blocks! LOL Real cool! Does all your neighbors no you can service and fix anything! won't you be my neighbor! It is really nice!
Annie this sure makes things easier. Yes my neighbors seem to bring me their junk to fix so they dont have to pay for a shop to fix . I get paid in beer , produce from their gardens and homemade jam. You would be an awesome neighbor to live next to.
That is a nice jack for sure....great for sharpening the blades .....the way I see it from here Steve....your going to run out of real estate soon and there will be another shed building video in the future....nice jack....CHEERS
Gator I can fit the tractor and atv and the mower in the shop at the camp now. Did a lot of moving around last couple of days up there and it will fit too. Cheers
@@SteveRobReviews So that riding mower is for the camp....good thing you have the room....that will make cutting the grass just a few hrs job and more time to relax and enjoy the sounds of nature....can`t go to the camp yet....they ...and you know who I mean have that border closed down.....my pressure is going to blow that little cap on the pressure cooker...I have to go outside and breathe some fresh air.....CHEERS buddy
Gator it seems everyone was at their cottage , I never seen so much tracks from truck tires leading into all the camps in the area. I'm heading up again real soon . I cant stand this lockdown crap and it seems everyone has gone north instead of shut in in the city. Nobody was restricting travel in Ontario. The rest stops were packed . It was like the 24 weekend up north . The ground was nice and dry too , first time in the spring I ever seen it that dry. It was so nice to get away . Hopefully soon for you too. Cheers
$150 is a steal! I think they'd be handy for a lot of things. I'd be tempted to replace the jack with an air jack. Gonna have the best equipped cottage around
The boys will want an atv most likely and when you get old emma will buy you a lawn tractor to cut the grass so in about five years at most this will be an awesome addition to the shop :)
I bought one of those three years ago when I replaced my Simplicity Conquest (that backfired and burnt to the ground. Too bad it was a great tractor) with a Simplicity Champion XT Zero Turn. The bottle was faulty (turned out the O ring wasn't sitting properly)and took forever to lift the deck so Mojack sent me a new bottle. It also seems to take forever to lift. I can literally spend 15 minutes pumping it to get to the second setting. I'm shocked at how fast your lift works so I'm wondering if I should get a new bottle with higher specs.
@@SteveRobReviews Hi Steve ... Actually I'm David Cameron and my wife is Cheryl but because sometimes she uses my laptop,the next thing I know, I'm Cheryl. Anyway, what do you mean by "this 2 ton jack" Is that what I should get or is that what came with the lift? I'll go to he TH-cam video and see your reply, if there is one of course.
@@SteveRobReviews We'll see if I post as Cheryl. Anyway I'm assuming you mean the 2 ton is not what came with the lift. Here in Canada it's probably $20 at Canadian Tire. Wait ... I'll check ... dum de dum de dum ... Yep, as it turns out a 2 ton MotoMaster which is a canadian Tire brand is $19.99 which is probably about 5 cents U.S. The 4 ton is $24.99 which is 6.25 cents U.S. not counting the 13% HST we give to Justin Trudeau to destroy Canada
Well David you sound like me on my podcast :) not a Justin fan either. Mine came with a 2 ton jack so if you watch the sales at Princess Auto they go on sale for $10 - $12 quite often .
Can you tell me how much clearance I need on the back of mower on a zero turn to be able to lift this at full height without the back of the mower hitting ground
I have the same Jack, I use it on my concrete floor- my problem is when driving the front wheels onto the holders the entire Jack slides- what can I do to keep it in place - I have a 54” kubota z422 zero turn
HI Tim I know exactly what your experiencing , oh man that can be frustrating . I just tap a couple wooden wedges on the backside of the jack to stop it from being pushed back .
I saw a video where the mechanic temporarily placed the mower rubber wheel chocks behind the lift's wheels to keep it in place while diving on. Once on, he moved the chocks to the mower's back wheels.
I just returned mine today for that very reason. Ordered a MoJack model that has removable Clevis Pin Bolts instead of the silly oversized bar on the wheel pads.
This Jack costs 449.00 Canadian (approx 350.00 USD) at Home Depot. Not sure if it's because of the recession. Bought it because I need to frequently clean the deck of my Husqvarna TS248 XD.
Hi, I just bought a Husqvarna TS 248XD. What model jack did you get, the 500? How does it work on the Husqvarna. My manual says the TS 248 XD tractor weight 610 lbs, over the 500 lb capacity of the MoJack 500, of course one is not lifting the whole tractor on the jack just the front end. It's expensive here in Canada as you pointed out, so before I take the plunge I want to make sure the MoJack 500 if this id the model you have, works OK on the TS 248XD.
HI Steve ... I bought a new Motomaster 2 ton bottle jack from Canadian Tire today but when I got home I noticed that it says it has a maximum lift of 12 1/8 inches but the your video of the MoJack shows the lift lifting 2 feet. Does that mean I need a different bottle jack or will the leveraging in the lift make it lift the 2 feet?
Yes I bought it off amazon at christmas , I have cut my lawn at home twice now with it and taking it up to the camp soon forever. Hope this last 26 years , ok I hope I last 26 years too :)
How's she goin'? That's a nice looking lift. On the slow side coming down. But slow is safer for sure. Good price too. No reason why it wouldn't work for an ATV and it will save bending over or crawling around on the floor. Take care!!!
hi, if your happy with it that is fine... however I went to princess auto and bought a 300 dollar motorcycle lift raises to just below belly button high. on the bed of lift I put 2 inch pipes across and attached 2 x 10 on each side It is wide enough to have tractor sit on the wood and my john deere can sit on it lengthwise with a foot on each end to spare. foot pedal for hydraulic lift and a lever lets it down faster than yours. seen donny boy small engine on you tube show his and I would rather have mine , it can pick up 1000 pounds and has a 1 inch safety bar so it will not fall. I have changed the head gasket on it removed and cleaned deck every fall, oil and grease I don't have to bend down to do it, there is a hard grease fitting to get for axel but easy when it is waist high.
@@SteveRobReviews My first job after graduating in Radio and Television Arts from Ryerson in Toronto in 1971 was at CKSO in Sudbury. Holy crap !!! Where did 50 years go? As a born and bred Toronto boy that was where I first heard the word camp instead of cottage. Anyway I couldn't get the lift to go higher than 20 inches and that was after at least 15 minutes of pumping. It worked OK for about the first foot or so and then slowed right down. IT maxed out at 21 inches I bought a 2 ton bottle jack from Crappy Tire but when I got home I discovered it didn't have the groove think at the top to fit into the lift.

I'll try and talk to someone at Mojack tomorrow (Monday) but so far their number only makes a noise and when I ask a question at least so far their suggestions aren't very helpful. I'll let you know if I make any progress.

Thanks for the demo. Just bought it. Was slightly scared of it but no more. Now I know how to check locking mechanism!
Hi Nancy
My atv or lawn tractor , it has proved to be very stable and much better than before .
I absolutely love my MoJack HDL 500. I haven't taken the deck off to clean it and change the blades in three years so far and counting. Some mowers have very heavy decks and can be a bitch removing and reinstalling them. The MoJack will lift the tractor in a minute up and a minute down. Who wouldn't love that.
Hi David
I use mine to service my atv as well. Awesome lift 👍
I got a mojack and I love it makes my job easier cleaning the deck and removing the blades
I have used this for my lawn tractor and atv , works flawlessly and makes serving so much easier. Cheers Don
Good morning Steve, great tractor lift, yes you can use it on various items !!! Great video and have a blessed Sunday !🙏
Thanks Dave this is a great help . Cheers
Great review.
Man. Since you posted his video 3 years ago those things have doubled in price. Home Depot has them today (7/16/23) for $379.00!

Yes the price of everything has gone crazy . This is a great lift I use a lot for my lawn tractor & atv .
Tractor Supply regular price $240. Headed there tomorrow.

@@kenthompson37308/4/2024. Tractor Supply $240.00 with a 10% discount because straps are missing.
Well worth $150. Looks like a good one and the lift point being the front wheels is ideal. Thank you for the review, Steve. Stay safe
Thanks Sean its a great way to service a mower or atv too. Cheers
Thanks to your review I just bought this same model. Many thanks!
Happy to have helped . 👍
Thanks for this video; helped me out. Cost is not $240 but well worth it. Yes Sir, already figured out it will work on my boat and my 10 1/2 foot utility trailer. Very versatile and a tool many of us need.
Thanks 👍
A year later it’s STILL $240 at Tractor Supply.
I checked on line and I found it at home depot for $199 USD today. Looks to be a good find for the price you paid. Thanks for sharing.
Jack check amazon as well as Loews too. Thanks
@@SteveRobReviews Steve I will check both out. Thanks Buddy

That is well worth the money. Every time I work on my mower I think getting one of those
Lloyd I have been trying it out on the rear tires and it lifts no problem there too. Nice rig forsure.
I have looked at these for years. Never got one but it would be very handy
$150 up hear is about $89 american so ya I think you could use it in about 20 years when your older maybe :)

I like the air conversion idea Bruce. Good mod for the future. Thanks
The only thing cleaner than my Corvettes is Steve's riding mower. I'm jealous.
Not sure about that I dont use lysol wipes on the chassis. LOL
Hi
you paid $150 in the winter time..What would you pay for the mojack full price
@@kingofthetrack I dont know . I bought this 4 years ago and like everything else most products have gone up in price.
That thing works great. I wonder if it would work for lifting my son's gocart
I cant see why not , so much easier to work on than down low.
Does the Jack get in a way of you crawling underneath the tractor or lawn mower?
Not at all , lots of room .
That's a good looking lift. Not sure how much use it would get, but it looks good 👍
The boys will want an atv most likely and when you get old emma will buy you a lawn tractor to cut the grass so in about five years at most this will be an awesome addition to the shop :)
Good review.
I want it to come down faster and the straps aren’t needed if you keep it under 50.🙂

Nice toy Steve! If I had a lawnmower I'd get one too! 👍😂
Yes you need a lawn tractor too just because :)
Steve, Can you pick it up from the back wheels? Does it have to be the front wheels?
I move it around on the only two wheels provided. I just check H/Depot online $148 but it's out of stock . HomeDepot.ca
Where did you buy it for $150. Home Depot wants $250
I did buy it from H/Depot online on-sale. It's best to Google the model and see who has the best price as I did back then.
It's insanely high now so I welded my own bar attached it to a normal jack and bam works just as good for 50$
👍
Where did you get one for $150.00???
Home depot but that was before the prices went up.
Great Video.
Would you review that tractor?
Looks like a 'bute 3 blades is "super cool"
Cuts grass like an army of sheep 🐑 . Cheers buddy. Will do at the camp cutting grass .
Is that a new mower as it’s a lot cleaner than my 26 year old mower? Looks like a pretty good lift!
