BIG 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.

This was strong and stout. Together with the "platform" placed under it and a very sturdy chain it pulled our concrete embedded fence posts out of the ground nicely. Yes, a little "muscle grease" required, but WAY BETTER AND FASTER than just digging with a shovel.

It's a Beast. It weighs a lot. My application is to help move heavy tractor powered agriculture implements on and off the tractor.

I picked this up to save a few $s over the Hi-Lift and to save a trip to Harbor Freights. I've cut some bushes down and need this to pull a few small to medium stumps. I've built a tripod to help stabilize it...thanks to the guys who posted the details. For the first 3 stumps, it worked great! While removing the 4th one, the jack bent, these are rated for 3 tons...go figure. I had a bunch more to go, so I figured I could manage it since I didn't want to wait for another weekend. While on the 5 one, the jack keep popping out from the "up" mode. Now this was getting frustrating. By the time I've pulled the 5th stump out, it died. It would go up nor down. Man! I'll complete the stumps later, but it would be really p'd if I was stuck in the middle of nowhere and this happened. See pix. the red is the jack bar (straight) while the black is the jack (was straight).

Better quality than expected. Using it to remove old fence posts. The latch is very difficult to start with, but loosens up with use. Like with all of these, it’s heavy. Which the lever didn’t always have to go all the way down for the catch, but it is what it is. Happy with purchase, and th e price was competitive. Pulled out 8 foot posts fully concreted into the ground.

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.

Strong and heavy! Worth the buy! Used to pull up posts and even pick up shed for moving

Used this to remove some fence posts - worked well. Dug around the concrete in the ground since the post was rotten, then use some tie-downs to wrap around the conrete in the hole, used the lift to crank the concrete out of the hole! If the wood post is not rotten, you can use the tie-downs to wrap the post and save the digging. Excellent concept for removing fence posts in concrete. Got the idea from YouTube video.

Very hard. Nice

llegó rápido pero falta un perno.

This jack was great for removing a broken fence post. I had a 4x4 inch fence post rotted off at ground level, leaving 40 in. of concrete stuck in a rough 10-in. hole in heavy clay soil. It looks as though the installer had used a 10-inch auger to drill a 4-ft. hole and just dumped in concrete to fill it, with no sona tube. It probably weighs about 300 lbs, but with the irregular hole and clay, it was really stuck in there. I tried digging a couple of feet and pulling it out with chains and a 2-ton hydraulic jack. It moved slightly, then sank back in when I went to reposition the jack and tighten the chains. This Big Red jack worked perfectly. The first lift was about a foot. Then I got my wife to jam a 2x4 behind it to hold it while I repositioned the jack and tightened the chains. A couple of similar pulls and out it came. The jack worked perfectly. The only possible issues were with my unfamiliarity with the mechanism and how to set it to lift and lower. Check the directions and practice it before attempting a heavy job. Also, the jack tends to tip forward during the lift. I was able to hold it back by hand and by tilting the base support back away from the load. I have seen where some people fasten 2 additional supports to the top of the jack to form a tripod. That might work better, especially with a heavier lift. If jacking a vehicle, make sure the wheels very very well blocked as this jack will tend to tip forward as it gets higher.
