Finally treated myself,always wanted one!

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 😃

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.

@cschannuthI’m very happy with it, I was a little worried about the stability of it after widening the top but it’s fine.

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

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.

i as well had 2 and it lifted m 141 one time

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.

@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.

That sheet of plywood is almost as much as the table these days.

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.
