How can you take off the blades on a ztr?

If I can't get to my lift, I just use a lifting strap and my cherry picker engine hoist.

The mo-jacks are so expensive though, Northern makes one for 160

As far as being expensive the cost of the MoJack is less than most lifts. If you keep an eye on the ad's you can find them on sale for as little as $169. Some say like you there so expensive though but what cost does one put on safety.

Yes there a lot of different ways to lift a mower, you can use a lifting strap and a cherry picker engine hoist or loading ramps on a tailgate of a truck as some have said and god only knows what else people can come up with

The correct Tool for the job and doing the job right will save you time and money in the long run. My philosophy is if you don't have the correct tools and can't do the job right whether it's working on a mower or lawncare, Don't do it at all. Safety should always come first.

I dont have to sharpen my riders blades very often. I take mine to my dealer and he puts them on his MOJack. He works away and complains about the price of the jack and his blade sharpener and how dry it is. I stand around looking at his line of Tanaka stuff and complain about the lack of cheap grasstrimmers. I pay him, we both go away happy.

How much does it cost for him to sharpen the blades?

Just ordered the EZ model from MoJack. Got a "scratch and dent" one $159.00 + $49.00 freight. Lady said they are units that have been put together for Craft and Trade shows. Carry one year warranty vs two year for a retail unit. Click on the EZ model on their web site and you can get to it. I have been lifting my Snapper S50x with floor jack but I have to do one side at a time and it still makes me nervous. With this one I can raise it once and change blades,grease it and change belts etc. if I have to. Plan on using my air ratchet to raise.

The $159.00 unit is basically a used unit? It will total out to $208.00 with shipping. You can go to Amazon and buy a used EZ for $201 and get free shipping. If you wait for a sale you can get it cheaper than that.
