Nice work Cosworth, big tree that.

 

We rarely use the bottle jack, but it's a nice trick to have in the bag and can save a lot of effort smacking in wedges (which are a must as a backup IME).

Oh yes. Whats even better is if you enjoy Land Rover ownership (at least the new ones) there's a bottle jack under the passenger seat so you always have one:thumbup1:

 

Saved us once. 4 hi lifts all the way in and it still wasn't over. cut the jack notch put it in and pumped it up and over it went. Should of used it in the first place.

Cosworth, dont want too sound critical as it obviously went well, but do you always cut the toes flat?

 

Personally never like to reduce the width of any hinge, let alone one you were depending on while pumping the jack.

what tonnage bottle jack would you idealy have for tree work. im geussing the more it will lift the bigger it is so there must be a ideal size?

 

buy the shortest most ton you can, 30ton ones turn up.
