c-series don 8,862 #1 Posted June 13, 2021 I’ve always wanted a lift table so a couple of Saturdays ago I woke up and said to myself “today’s the day!” I went to Harbor Freight and purchased a motorcycle lift table, then some plywood to make the top wider to accommodate a tractor. I was hoping to get an air actuated one but this is foot pedal operated and that’s fine for the amount it will be going up and down. Some paint and a decal from Terri and I’m happy 😃 7 9 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cschannuth 3,816 #2 Posted June 13, 2021 That is awesome! I’ve always wanted one too. I was actually in Harbor Freight yesterday while my wife was next-door doing some other shopping and I actually had a coupon and I almost pulled the trigger but I didn’t. Now I wish I had.

c-series don 8,862 #3 Posted June 13, 2021 (edited) @cschannuthI’m very happy with it, I was a little worried about the stability of it after widening the top but it’s fine. Edited June 13, 2021 by c-series don 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
squonk 41,443 #4 Posted June 13, 2021 I had one and it lifted a tractor once. And that was it. Needless to say I don't have one any more. I do have a Harbor Fright lift table. Lifts most tractors and you can roll it out of the way with the tractor still on it 5 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Maxwell-8 4,315 #5 Posted June 13, 2021 Your back will be greatfull. When I do a full maintance or even other stuff. I put my horses crossed on the scissor car lift. What a blessing that is to the neck, back and knees. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pollack Pete 2,273 #7 Posted June 13, 2021 Hmmm.I bought one 5 or 6 yrs ago.Widened the top with 2 x 6's.Sadly,never put a tractor on it.It sits in my shop now and has become a shelf for other various crap.Looks like it would be great for lifting a tractor to work on though.Maybe some day I'll try it and post here how it went.BTW,yours really looks great. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
c-series don 8,862 #8 Posted June 13, 2021 @squonk I’m loving that Rolle Bros. decal on the hood of the 1075. That was about a half hour from me, I bought my Work Horse GT-1800 brand new from them in 1984. What a place that was, one of the Rolle brothers told me that at one time they were the largest Wheel Horse dealer on the east coast. The showroom was like a car dealership with huge plate glass windows and a parts room to die for. Sadly they went out of business around 1995. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
D_Mac 8,755 #9 Posted June 13, 2021 That sheet of plywood is almost as much as the table these days. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
formariz 11,988 #10 Posted June 14, 2021 Nothing better to work on a tractor. Nothing like keeping your back straight. Have used one for years now. Make sure you always put in the safety bar once it is raised. Also be careful when you lower it. That can be too fast many times . Make sure tractor is always strapped on to table. I know these things because I had a few scaring moments with it. Be careful. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
