Just bought a Gravely Pro Turn 48. Only a couple hours or so on it so far, but I enjoy it a lot and anticipate years of good use. I'm looking into mower lifts so that I can occasionally get underneath to clean/repair/sharpen the blades. My dealer recommended one he uses in his shop, but it's nearly $600. That makes sense fo frequent use, but not for me so I'm looking for recommendations for cheaper, but still sturdy lifts that would be good for my new ZT 48" mower.
1) How much lifting capacity should it have to just jack up the front end? Is 250# capacity enough or should I go for #350 or even higher? Recommendations? (The machine's total weight is 1,013 lbs.)
2) Are the MoJack lawn mower lifts well made? I found one with #750 lifting capacity (Too much?, see question #1) for $360. I can almost justify that, but would like to pay less if I can get a sturdy unit with the correct lifting capacity.
Thanks for the advice and recommendations on minimum lifting capacity and good makes/models.
