Was wondering what lifts everybody is using when working on their mowers. I'm looking into buying one for use on my Hustler zero turn. Looked at Mojack and ProLift so far. Harbor freight has one that is about identical to the ProLift ones as well.

Ok that didn't really help any. I was asking what guys here use. Gets some feedback on different ones possibly.

I use the Mojack EZ for the Toro Z Master and my Grandstand also got the work bench attachment for the push mowers. The one at Harbor Freight looks good also.

I have one of the Harbor Freight units and am satisfied with it. Keep in mind that, like most HF Chinese made stuff, it is about 1/3 to 2/3 the cost of others, and not commercial use quality.

I do not like the mower lifts/jacks.
The legs get in the way. I use a chain hoist or a floor jack.

Yes, thats the way to go and use some jack stands.

Ah great idea Carscw. Didn't think about that.

The problem I have with floor jacks and jack-stands is that I could never get enough clearance to use an air gun. The Mojack gets me 24" of clearance to work with and the T base isn't in the way.

I just know that would hurt to lay on.

With a chain hoist I can sit on a stool and change blades.
