Many times when using my MoJack, the lift sticks in the up position after I've jacked up my John Deee LX277. Twice I've had to slide a 2X6 board under the belly of the tractor and push it off the MoJack. Is there an easier way to get it down? I only use it on a level concrete pad but after its up in the air, there is no way the bar can be released to jack it down.

Do not lift it all the way to the the top. leave 5 inches to allow you room to pull the handle and go up an inch before it will come down.

Mine sticks too try not to crank it up to its maximum height and while gradually crank it and push in the release handle at the same time it is fairly hard to push in.

My guess is that you cranked it up to high. Try stopping before you reach the very top and then backing the crank off, as it advises in the instructions.

This is a very good unit once down. It is very easy to get back up, but it is a pain in the butt to get down. You have to hold a leaver down then use your other hand to push it down. I have switched back to motorguide with the pull cord. Much much better deployment

It is hard to tell, the jack when retracted still leaves the tail to far down. On my unit we had to shim 2inches to get clearance. This is a food vending trailer hooked to a Tundra so there is not a lot of drop when the trailer is attached. However we have to still be careful of large dips in the road, Great jack, works smooth and lifts a nose heavy unit so I live with the problem.

I have a stock Ford F150 Platinum 4x4 pick-up truck (year 2011), and my Jeggs 2 ton floor jack will lift any corner of the truck with no problem. If you just want to raise your truck high enough to get the wheels off the ground, then the lifting height is fine. If you need more height than that, then maybe others can give you the answer. I've only used it once to do a 4 wheel tire rotation.

it worked great but whatever you do, block whatever your lifting. My trailer moved just a little and it fell off the jack. The jack was totally destroyed, as a result of twisting as it fell. I can send a picture of the damage, if you want me to. I'm very handy but could find no way to fix it. Having said that though, I still bought a replacement. I'm 76 years old and it sure make jacking things up EASY !!! I can e-mail a picture if you e-mail me at hank-g1@hotmail.com

Saul: It lifts a suburban easy. But use jackprops after lifting trucks heavier than 3.5 tons. Release the jack to reduce stress on it, and be safe.

Raise it all the way up, and then it will release and allow you to lower it.. Hope this helps �

The motor moves with the jack so it will go up or down as far as the jack goes with not problem just lube them up first and get them as free as you can. Well worth the money.

I don't use the hooks too much, if you get the thing and use it, you'll note that the best thing to do is put the unit in a place where you need to raise the sheetrock to the ceiling and lock the wheels. Then lock the unit so its flat area is facing the ceiling and place your cut sheet of sheetrock on the lift...make sure it's in place and start cranking. I use the hooks to maneuver the sheetrock in place (even though the wheels are locked, you can move it slightly if you are off a little bit). This thing is pure genius and at it's great price, it has been great to own it so I don't have to rush. The lowest setting of the unit is 54", so your low ceiling shouldn't be an issue. Good luck!

That's correct. They do NOT jack up the car. They are used to support the car after you have jacked it up. For safety reasons, you don't want to rely on the jack to keep the car from crashing down on you while you are under it!! Thus, the use of the "jack stands".

Sorry to take so long with an answer as I am a full timer and traveling. Some people complain about this jack being slow. In my opinion the manufacture has geared it down so it can handle more weight and it really isn't so slow that I would complain about it. I also found this jack to have a very powerful motor. I've bought one for myself and one as a gift we both like the jack. I've discovered that if you wind it all the way up and leave it there the breaker will kick on and off. Just tap the down switch and it will be fine. I don't think anyone would be disappointed with the purchase.

HiYou would need to remove traction bar unit first then you can back up. Pull two pins and remove unit. Put back on before towing again. Hope this helps

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.

I have a pilot and is to high for the jack but I put a piece of wood under the jack and raise the truck.In reality is not design for trucks you have to be carefull.

Stays a bit lower on our king quad atv can lift and can dump into cart. Use it mostly to move mulch, dirt and manure around our hobby farm. Did have to put a jack under the the mounting bracket with bucket full of dirt and tighten. Otherwise the bucket when full will drag, also to shovel dirt buy the teeth to add on.

I have found that this holder works well, but to unlock you have to use one rope at a time - alternating to lower the kayak. I have had no problems with either go up or down!!
