BIG REDBIG RED TR6501B Torin 48" Ratcheting Off Road Utility Farm Jack, 3 Ton (6,000 lb) Capacity, Red

I've been using the BIG RED ATR6501UR Torin 48" Ratcheting Off Road Utility Farm Jack for a few months now, and it's been a reliable addition to my tool collection. As someone who tackles various DIY projects, I needed a robust jack that could handle heavy lifting, and this one fits the bill perfectly.One thing I really like about this farm jack is its sturdy construction. The 3-ton capacity is more than sufficient for most of my needs, and the blue finish not only looks good but also seems quite durable. The ratcheting mechanism works smoothly, making it easy to lift and lower heavy loads without much effort.I initially used it for lifting my truck during some suspension work, and it performed admirably. The versatility of this jack is impressive; I've also used it for various tasks around the farm, including pulling fence posts and lifting equipment. It’s truly a multi-purpose tool that has proven its worth in different scenarios.There are a couple of minor drawbacks, though. The weight of the jack makes it a bit cumbersome to move around, but this is expected given its heavy-duty build. Additionally, the handle could be a bit more comfortable to grip for extended use. Despite these small issues, the jack’s performance and reliability more than make up for them.In summary, if you're looking for a dependable farm jack that can handle a variety of heavy-duty tasks, the BIG RED ATR6501UR is a fantastic choice. It’s a solid, well-built tool that has made my DIY projects a lot easier and more efficient.

Very tough, durable, and functional. I have used it to pull concreted deck posts out of the ground using a logging chain, and used it to pull nailed 20 foot 2x6 deck boards off of a deck frame keeping them in one piece. It is a powerful lifting beast.

It’s made a task I’ve struggled with for far too long, possible. I don’t know why marketing is squarely for cars, seems lots of people are pulling things out of the ground. I wish I’d known years ago.It’s taking a lot of abuse, getting the job done and still going. I see some people bent theirs. I almost bent mine, but I think it was neglecting the importance of maintaining an orientation square to the force being applied. It’s strong, not indestructible. I was actually lifting a 2 foot rock-wall while trying to uproot one of these monsters.The only real criticism is that top jaw is not flush to the main beam and the hole to screw it in place has play, allowing it to rise too far upwards. I think the tooth that prevents rotation should be on the bottom of the jaw or better, the bottom and the top. A lesser concern, the clip, that holds the handle up, could be a little stronger, but that’s not a major function.FWIW I used the strap from a ratchet tie-down, to pull the root.

Useful tool when you need to jack a distance.

Item received damaged. Bottom climbing pin fully inserted since retaining pin was missing. This prevents the jack from climbing. Also to retaining pin bent. Could be an easy fix, but as a customer why should I fix a product that just arrived.

One of the best purchases I have made. High quality, can lift most anything and is so versatile. Used to lift from a big diesel tractor to replace tires. So many uses at home and the farm.

Probably works as it was intended. Unfortunately, my own mind did not understand the concept of this system to remove tree stumps. Had to return.

It likes to stick at the bottom and is a bit confusing on how it works at first but once you get the hang of it you can use this thing to rapidly remove fence posts.
