I don't know the exact weight but I use it to lift my commercial size John Deere Z910A. I always use blocks on my back tires but no problems so far.

No I have not, but you are only picking up a little more than half the weight!!!! I believe I would buy the bigger lift to be safe!!!!

People allways want to push the limits of any product. Then get mad when the product breaks. This is rated to lift a maxium of 300 pounds. As long as your NOT lifting the whole lawn mower off the ground ( back or front wheels only) i do believe this will work. I have used mine for 3 summers now. Works great ,saves me a lot of time and easy to use. I have a 50" Ariens riding lawn mower with 3 cutting blades. No problem lifting the front off the ground .Easy access to get under.Very stable .Make sure you do put blocks behind the rear tires for safety. Safety FIRST.

I own a Snapper Z355 26 HP zero turn and use my Mojack monthly. The mower is well over 500 pounds, the Mojack lifts it with ease and oncethe locking pin snaps into place, your set to go. for people who might be a bit scared to be under the mover working, jack stands provide a bitmore safety. I have had my Mojack two years and if used correctly, it is an amazing tool. How I worked without one helps me appreciate howwell it cuts down my work time. A 500 hundred pound tractors are no match for a Mojack Lift. Go for it, it's worth it!

sounds crazy to me too as long as the weight restriction and your height is okay I think the lift will be fine. ours works great!

It depends. Does you lawn tractor have a front electric winch? Can the front suspension handle the weight of the stuff you plan to haul? A kubota b7200 or larger would be great. Have you looked at the universal mount that the bucket requires? If not, go to the swisher web site and download the installation manual, or call them. Then you'll understand how it is mounted and determine if it is suitable.

I have lifted more. The unit comes with a leg. I have not used it becasue my truck is very lifted. I think the limit is for full function of ram and winch.

I won't recommend you to go over the suggested weight, I am using it to lift things less than 500 pounds and I can see it forced so I wouldn't do it unless is a one time thing.

That's what I have it installed on. I dont recommend using it to lift a loaded trailer, but it works fine.

Yes. We lift ours 12ft. We needed to put 2x6 boards across the trusses to center the system in our garage. Works so slick!

This 5/16" link is rated by Master at 5000 pounds, for applications like towing. I would de-rate it by a factor of at least 2 for lifting overhead.

No. You hook it up with a pin through a hitch plate on your tractor. Put your weights on the plugger (I use 4 cinder blocks) and pull it behind your tractor. I have a 22 HP Toro and that does the job. If the lawn is damp be careful of hills as the extra weight can make your tires spin on too steep of an incline. Good luck!

Are you lifting the rear or the front? Im using it on a Gravely 52" HD mower and it has no problem lifting the front. You can always cal MoJack. Thats what I did.

The hoist will handle it and then some. I used it to lift a 600lbs. mower deck of my truck.

I would not recommend these for anything that can move such as a trailer. This works best on a very stationary lift. Otherwise it can easily flip out from under what it is holding with terrible consequences. I've seen that happen twice already with mine. You'd think we would learn. This is a powerful jack and works great when used very carefully and under the right circumstances. Lifting a vehicle or trailer would be a very bad idea!!

I have used this Manual Lift for rock, dirt, and snow and it has worked just fine. You may have to modify the installation and it takes a little muscle but it works great. I hope this help you.

My BadBoy ZT-6000 weighs about 900 lb and the Lift has no problem lifting the front end. The Lift is rather easy to use, and stores away nicely. I am very happy with it.

I use a small utility tractor and have had no problems. With some more stubborn roots I have to work at it a little more, but still works fine. If you have 4x4 on your ATV I think you'll find it works well for you. Good luck.
