The Farm Jack thread - Dum-Dum - 25-07-2015
When I had the Ranger I got a farm jack (4x4 jack, high lift jack, ratchet jack whatever you wanna call it) mainly cos it looked like the thing to have however have since found it to be just an awesome tool for lifting, crushing, winching and spreading. So here's the thread, lets have some photos of your farm jack in action.

I remember my dad having a fail with one of these, with his landy. He didn't chock the front wheels before me removed the rear wheel, the full works moved forwards!
it wedged the high lift jack between the ground and the bodywork, My mum was panicking like f*ck, I had to get our heavy duty trolly jack, and some bricks to get the help free the high lift jack.
Since then he has chocked, trolley jacked and the used the lift jack, for extra support. He got taught a lesson that day! not to just dive in, and just go straight in and jack a landy up!

These are actually incredibly useful tools, every workshop should have one!
RE: The Farm Jack thread - Niall - 25-07-2015
Ive always considered buying one not for jacking cars really but just because they are such a versatile tool!

Front crossmember wouldn't quite go on due to having sat a while. Farm jack does the trick!

Seems legit.
Better than reversing at speed.
RE: The Farm Jack thread - Toms306 - 11-04-2016
Awaiting pics of the tree uprooted and a dent in the roof...

I await a snapped strop, a hole in the windscreen and Chris impaled by a farm jack.
RE: The Farm Jack thread - Jonny81191 - 11-04-2016
Nowt wrong with that, I'd have used chains personally but only because the strops will stretch slightly.
RE: The Farm Jack thread - Dum-Dum - 11-04-2016
Sorry but this is a perfectly legitimate use of a farm jack.
There is nothing that is going to snap as the first thing to move will be the car being dragged towards the tree even in gear, handbrake on and with the wheels chocked with bricks.
RE: The Farm Jack thread - Ruan - 11-04-2016
I just expect whilst reversing into position *yank a bit hard*.... *TWANG*
I'd totally do the same - just instead not post it online!

RE: The Farm Jack thread - silverzx - 12-04-2016
Yes Chris, good man!
Did it work though?
RE: The Farm Jack thread - Eeyore - 12-04-2016

How was I going to break it while reversing into position? I didn't hook it all together till the car was in position cos I'm not a moron.

Oh yes, It didn't entirely pull the car straight under it's own force, it more pulled the car across the car park when I got a big force on it but once there was good tension on it I could get the hammer out and batter it with the strap pulling it in the right direction it worked 10x better than hammer alone.

I still intend to get a bit of chassis off another scoob and weld it in but I need it to be alot closer to straight so I can bolt new body panels to it.
RE: The Farm Jack thread - Matt - 12-04-2016
The question is, did it work?

Yep
The wing (that I bought the wrong colour paint for) dropped straight on with no jiggery pokery and all the headlight holes line straight up no issues.
Cant shut the bonnet yet as I need to twist it on it's mounts slightly, it moved in the crash.
RE: The Farm Jack thread - Eeyore - 12-04-2016
Yeh you also need to get a replacement bonnet and then itll probably close better!
RE: The Farm Jack thread - procta - 12-04-2016
Looking good dum dum.
RE: The Farm Jack thread - Matt - 12-04-2016
That's awesome! Well if it worked, job jobbed
