2X 5 foot 2 by 4 bits of, wood drill hole a top , half inch thick 12 inch bolt for small 12 inch stumps I use a tripod .makes life a little bit more pleasant , the jack will not pull forward so much and all the pressure is taken up the the legs of tripod, it’s a bit fiddly but you become hands free so to speak .great video ,like the extra bolts for horizontal pulling never thought of that have a great week .
Such a great bit of kit bit has to be modified with two 3x3x60 wood legs so it becomes a tripod. When pulling out tree stumps or posts the base tends to sit on what your pulling out. It's like lifting yourself up in a bucket! Got mine from Charlies in Queensferry Wales. Brilliant video mate. Some great tips.
Wow, excellent informational video. I'm definitely getting one of these farm jacks, very handy piece of equipment. I pulled 20 fence posts using shovel, pick axe & crow bar. Didn't i suffer, back breaking work. Wish i had known about the farm jack. Better late than never. Thankyou for sharing. 👍🏻👌🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻. Regards from 🇦🇺 .
Here in the U S ‘n’ A that there’s called a farmer killer and I’m glad you understood they need to be respected. Many a man been karate chopped right half in two because they goof off with ‘em
Thanks for this Calvin, I bought one a while back and have yet to use it in anger. I've got a gate post on the farm needs pulling. It's been drilled into rock below so I'm hoping it has the power. Useful safety advice, seen a lot of dangerous practice on other vids.
Very nice but for safety needs to said IT HAS TO CLICK AT THE TOP AND IT HAS TO CLICK AT THE LOWER POSITION also if you use a chain at the bottom you can have a brake when resetting the jack
Something wrong with it.. I have a GENUINE "Hi-Lift" one, and it works a lot better, [do not have to move the handle all the way up] and a lot less "rattly" too..

Great video Calvin ☆☆☆☆
good review - that ticket has many many uses for sure
When trying to keep the purple strap on, push it through the hole then hook it over the end of the red bit...works for me. 👍

Hi barlow2976. Thanks for the comments. Cheers Calvin
The purple strap should be in the shackle, more of a inline pull and captured from slipping. I love my hi -lift jack!
Great video 👍🏼
So in what part of Wales do you live? We lived in Pontypridd for 5 years and spent a LOT of time in the Rhondda Valley. 😊
thank you for video.:)
Could you screw a beam to the bottom of the foot - opposite to the handle - so that it counterbalances and keeps the handle off the ground?
Can you alter the orientation of the top hook Calvin?
Yes. Finally, someone mentioned it. 👍
