BIG RED ATR6501UR Torin 48" Ratcheting Off Road Utility Farm Jack: 3 Ton (6,000 lb) Capacity, Blue

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.

Bought this to pull fence posts. Works great with addition of a brace secured to the top of the jack. Now looking for a 4x4 jeep or unimog to mount this to!

one of the best ever

I have the 60" Hi Lift Jack which is great , but heavy and expensive. The Torin was selling for a lot less - so I thought for a second jack that would not be worked as hard as the more expensive HI- Lift it would be sufficient. The jack seems well made enough and relatively sturdy, the mechanism okay. Still as with most of these type jacks you should consider the loads being put on them especially if trying to pull tree stumps etc. I used it to lift my mid-size ( 3000 poundish ) car with the Hi-Lift Mate wheel attachment. It worked fine and is lighter to move than the big 60" Hi Lift. The mechanism was a little stiff, but not that bad. I think for non-extreme use it is likely fine - especially if used occasionally. The product appears to be a good value from my limited use. I don't give 5 stars unless really exceeding in value - I would not give more than 4 for the HI-Lift also, but I do think that jack will likely last longer especially under hard and heavier use. Nothing wrong with this one if used within reasonable limits.

This product is defective; the lowering mechanism does not click and lock in place. The lever to lift or lower is very hard and once reversed to the lowering position, it plummets down to its lowest position (not in increments and not in locked positions). This makes this jack extremely dangerous. Product packaging and cushioning was damaged, showing signs that it had been ripped and repackaged by adding two strips of tape. The torn box was placed inside a larger box, but because this product is heavy, it moved from side to side of the bigger box, making it very difficult to carry. No more heavy purchases from Amazon for me!

Worked just as described. dug up and cleared holes very well

The jack did what it was intended to do

Triangle brace broke from pressure. Replaced with large bolt to lean board on for leverage. Works well at pulling up posts. Be careful.

ESTA CHIDO

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.

Me gusto mucho

Bought this from Amazon.ca in a Warehouse Deal which came in a damaged package but the item was new and unused. Saved about 25% and I recycle the packaging anyway so who cares if the box is damaged but Amazon put in another box anyway. The jack seems to work good with no damage and will put to test when another fence post needs replacing but by the rugged build quality, I expect no problems.

Very hard. Nice
