Is $70 a good deal for a 60" hi-lift (used, including shipping)?
-
cost you about $70 PLUS shipping for a new one
-
ok, good

i wouldn't give 20 dollars for that one. it's covered in rust. JCWhiney sell one for around 40 new

most stuff from jcwhitney is junk, don't personally know about big red off road jacks
I bought my latest from tractor supply company, but they don't stock a 60" only 48"
-
NO DEAL
Maybe i should have asked before i bid, too late. :D

i've used a few big red products including a bottle jack i still carry. havd had it for 9 years now, every few years i change out the fluid, works great. definatly under-rated

there's nothing wrong with a rusty hi-lift. they're cast, and very solid. I'm sure the rust is only surface.
if it really bothers you, you can clean it up and paint it
as for the mechanics, if he says the switch operates easily, that's usally the biggest problem, and since it's a REAL hi-lift, you can get rebuild kits for them

yup, the moving parts freeze up prudy easily if they aren't kept oiled up. never had a "high lift" brand one before. but i have had a few old-school 'bumper jacks' rust through on me
-
but a rebuild kit for a used 60" jack is still cheaper at that price than a new one ;)
-
I'm not worried about it. If it works perfect: GREAT! if it needs a little TLC, no big deal.
-
Harbor Freight, 48", $29!! That's what we got for JD's Jeep...Can't beat that with a stick...
-
after seeing how much more useful a 60" is over a 48" the other weekend, and the fact i've got room in the bed for one, it would have been hard to settle on a 48"
-
How about $28.96 from Tractor Supply Company
http://www.tractorsupply.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay_10551_10001_28124_-1______?rFlag=true&cFlag=1 (http://www.tractorsupply.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay_10551_10001_28124_-1______?rFlag=true&cFlag=1)
and you can run right up to Jewett City and pick one up.
That's where I got the one I keep on the tracker.
-
yeah, for most of our rigs, 48" isn't useful for much more than changing a tire on level ground. :)
unfortunately, neither of mine have room to carry a 60"
-
both good deals!
-
48" genuine high lift cost me $35 from the TSC back home, methinks the off road supply places rip us off.
-
I couldn't find a 60" on there ???
Maybe I just wasn't looking right or something. Did you guys see any that were 60"?

May not be the cheapest, but you know what youre getting. Also, the rebuild kit is listed further down. Dont think the rebuild kit is size specific, only replaces pins for moving parts which are the same.

summit 60" 55 dollars
spanking new. thats where i got mine
