God bless my Farm jack

[IVECOKID]

If there is one piece of kit that's been priceless for me then the Farm jack is up there ...whether Fencing or Stumps it is the Dog danglers! £45 eight years I paid and still going strong . Little Beach and a Cherry to pull out today and using a winch off The Beech the Cherry pulled out in 2 ticks ,has for Beech a quick dig around base and located a main root and cut it so I could put a chain around . 15 minutes and Hey presto ..No mess like a stump grinder .

LOL its what i use when digging out stumps... only thing is after three or four swings with the axe I need a five minute rest these days.... I need to go on one of those fitness regimes like Silky fox..

Simple but very effective, I use mine for pulling out posts with metposts:thumbup1:

Yep - only regret is I did not find this tool sooner - unbelievable bit of kit!! Have been trying to see about arb adapting one for sale but H&S would be a big issue I think which is such a shame....

I use one for raising logs onto blocks for the Lucas mill. Got to be careful though, got whacked on the ear with several tons of oak on it once. The dog walker that came past a few minutes later must've heard me screaming the woods down

Ever had one run down the rack? I have one that actually came about as my uncle had left 2 damaged ones at our place, I set to and got a working one made up from the various parts. 1st try out was lifting a 990 but for some reason I let go the handle in the jack down position, damn thing started to run the rack with the handle flapping up and down like mad, the handle which wasn't secured with a rivet ended up going skywards while I'm watching it trying to decide which way to run.

 

Steep learning curve

Yes. Horrible things for holding up vehicles but useful for loads of other jobs. Made mine into a brilliant cider press once....
