can this be used to lift the front of a riding lawn mower in order to get under the mower deck

Yes. It's much more than you need actually, I lift the bow of my 3,000 lb boat with it regularly. However, You can't leave it unattended. If you use it to jack it up and place wood or jack stands under it then fine. But if you just leave it, it will tip over.

I don't see why not. It uses a standard lawn mower trailer hitch. You would just need a pin.

I am not sure on that one! I would really hesitate to do it, because of it's shape, I think the wind would just lift it right off the vehicle. Also it weighs enough that it would be really difficult to lift it that high. But a pick-up truck or a really small light weight trailer would be great. Hope this helps.

It is an ATV lift . I guess if you are careful you could lift a riding mower . To work underneath it will be hard . The lifts are pretty close together and there's not a lot of room . It's really perfect for bikes .

You will first run into the problem of jacking the lift up because of clearance issue being underneath the vehicle, but if you manage to resolve that problem I would secure the transmission with two ratchet straps in a cross pattern. So yes you can use it for lifting or lowering a transmission.

Possibly, the mechanism is is fairly tight but not overly hard to turn. I haven't used it enough to "break-it-in" yet so the jack will probably get easer to operate. Right now, I would say that a good 1/2" drill motor would lift and lower the jack, but have no idea if it'll pick-up a bike.

I would imagine it would work really well on a riding lawnmower. I used it on my motorcycle for a long distance trip and had trouble if beverage was more than half full. Obviously the angles and speeds are a lot more extreme than your mower, so should work good for you.

Probably not. This contraption is designed to lift something with a lip (preferably on the upper edge). We bought it to move a LARGE planter, with no lip, before realizing this "gotcha". Consequently, I don't believe that we have ever used it. If you're near Lincoln, AL, you could borrow it.

Certainly the manufacturer should answer this question. But my take on this is that under a deck should be ok. All metal parts have a heavy coating of paint. The pullies are nylon, the ropes synthetic and the nuts and bolts cadmium plated. Possibly the bolts will rust over time, but that shouldn't interfere with the operation of the hoist. So I think this can work for you under a deck.

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!!

Not sure, I use it to lift a 900lb Harley Davidson. It works great. the lifting base is very wide 18-24". I'd have to measure it to see the exact size but for a quad it depends upon your weight & frame spacing.

I have a small Snapper riding mower that I use and it works fine with the trailer fully loaded and up a sloped back yard. Another that I spoke with last spring said he planned to use his ATV to haul firewood from his back woods in this trailer. The trailer comes with a hitch pin.

No - depends somewhat on the configuration of yoru tractor but its highly unlikely. The neck is long enough to allow for tight turns without binding - therefore too long to reach the lever to lift it.

Yes I think so - it has a rectangular shaft with a vertical pin. I have it attached to a 10HP walk behind tractor that only moves at 5-8 MPH but the trailer would have no problem behind a 25 HP lawn mower.

I think the mower would work better on clover than grass since the stems are thicker. It will cut them quite easily. Of course it will be easier to lift than a powered mower. However, if it has to be lifted a lot it still won't be ideal.

I have no idea if it will lift your toro. Does a great job on my Commercial Gravely zero turn. Would I buy this thing again? You bet. It is strong and capable of doing what I need done and I feel safe working under my mowers.

My lawn tractor is a Troy-Bilt Bronco. I don't know if it would fit your brand mower. The bumper is sturdy enough, and I have lifted (by hand) the front of the mower using the bumper. But I don't think I would trust it on a lift without other support. Might work, but I wouldn't do it; not because the bumper or attachment is weak, but because it doesn't seem like a good idea to me.
