I have one with a 60" bar. I used it to take little stumps out and used it as a come along when my truck was stuck.

I would like to get one. They are definitely a useful tool to have on a farm. I've only used 48" farm jacks.

I just bought one at TS. It's rated for 8,000 lbs. but I don't think it's anywhere near being capable of that.

Are you talking about a jackall? Personal experience is be careful with the 60" because they do bend and can be dangerous. Use two hands on the handle because there's lots of stories of guys spitting chicklets after catching the handle on the jaw but they do have a purpose forsure.

One of the most useful tools I own..........and also one of the most dangerous. Working alone they are invaluable but require respect and your full and undivided attention.


I have nothing clever to put here.

Well today I don't think you can use any bumper to jack up all plastic years ago you could.

Nope but I have jacked up several trucks that were BURIED. Jack them up, stuff things under the tires and go. They work great for getting out of ruts too. Jack them all the way up and then shove the truck sideways off the jack. Dangerous but a great tool.

Oh yeah, before cell phones a handyman, a come-along, and a few spare T-posts saved the day more than a few times. If you had a few spare wood blocks and an extra 40 or 50 ft of cable you were just showing off for the farmers daughter.

Need a longer handle on that or a fat guy. Is that what you guys call a farm jack?
