MoJack Pro

Bought this for my Ferris ISX3300 72" zero turn that weighs 1720 pounds. Weight of this mower is distributed 40/60 so I purchased the 750-pound jack. Tried it out today and it is solid and safe for me. Plenty of room to get under the deck for cleaning and blade changing. It comes with both a hand crank and a fitting to attach a 1/2" cordless drill. It takes some effort to use the hand crank but using e cordless drill is effortless. Pretty amazing how fast, safe, and easy it is to lift that much weight.

The lift is not light, but it comes apart very easily and is easy to store. Use it to do maintenance on several zero turn and tractor mowers and it makes the work easier and safer to do. FedEx delivered it in a small van with no hand truck to move it, had to use my own to get into the shop. Box looked ok so I signed for it. When putting it together, found a damaged wheel. Called the phone number for MoJack and after telling what I found, a new wheel was sent out that same day. Good sturdy product and good backing.

I purchased this item to lift mt ZTR and I choose the pro model over the standard for the heavier lift rating since my ZTR is one of the heavier ones and I do plan to even have a heavier one in the future. I ordered from the Amazon store and of course it was packaged well. They put another box around the original MoJack box with packing material around it. The outside box was damaged pretty good but the original box was i perfect Condition. 5 Stars for amazon shipping and packaging. Amazon also had the lowest price I could find and being a prime member with free shipping made the deal even sweeter. First impressions? This thing is heavy! I didn't read beforehand but this product weighs 125LBS! Putting it together was a breeze and the instruction manual is well written. I say it took about an Hour to put together. Very well designed and engineered! Breaks apart easy with push pins for easy carrying and storing. Can be put back together in 5 minutes or so. It is also very sturdy. I don't have to worry about unsteady jack stands anymore and it also lifts higher than a standard jack and stands. Did I mention safety? I feel much more comfortable now being under a 1200 pound machine. I heard some state in reviews it is hard to fold? It is very easy. Pull safety pin and rotate a quarter turn and lift on handle and fold. I know this device is fairly expensive but once you see how well it is made I don't think you will regret purchasing it. Plus the benefit of quick lifting and lowering and the extra safety of traditional jacks and stands. I only will use it about 4-5 times a year I imagine someone who uses one more often would love it even more!

Package received in normal time frame for free shipping option and with no damage. Be aware that it is very heavy and you need two people or hand trucks to move box. Our UPS driver is a young strong guy that that took it off is truck by himself but I would not try to move it without help. Assembly is simple and instructions are clear. Used it same day to lift three tractor type mowers and it worked as described with supplied crank handle. However, if you have a tall brush guard on your mower, you cannot use the crank handle even in the shorter position without removing the guard first. The jack has a separate lifting option which uses a 7/16 6 point socket on a heavy duty electric drill that you supply to operate the jack. Mine worked the first time I lifted the mower but when I let it back down and then tried to lift it again it would not work. Called the toll free number for MOJACK and the guy I talked to was very helpful and shipped me a new winch unit at no charge. It is not very difficult to replace but I have not used the drill motor lifting option yet, so do not know if the new one will work. However I will plan on removing my brush guards from my mowers before trying to lift them and thus will use the regular crank handle. The drill motor option is a nice feature for someone with no arm strength, but you have to have a strong drill and really hold it securely to use it. Jack lifts mowers plenty high enough to gain access to underside of cutting deck to service blades and seems very secure.

I won 100 dollars in an online sweepstakes 5 years ago and purchased this lift for my JD tractor style mower. I was tired of taking the "quick disconnect" deck off and turning it over to sharpen blades. It took way too long to sharpen and change blades. This lift was easy to set up and worked great. I could now get to the underside of the deck and swap the dull blades for a sharpened set in just a few minutes. You still have to lay down on the floor to get to the underside but there is plenty of room to get to everything. I have since stepped up to a commercial zero turn JD and it is much larger but the majority of the weight is in the back of the mower so it's not too heavy for this lift. I like the safety features of the MoJack, the tires have straps that you can cinch down onto the front wheels to keep it from slipping and the lift part has a sturdy strap and large teeth to keep the lift from dropping. I wanted to use this before I reviewed it and then I forgot to do the review. Usually I would not worry about doing a review but this product has been a big help to me and I wanted to let other people know about my experience. Now that I have used it heavily the only issue that I have found is that when lowering the mower the lift does not move as smooth as it once did but it is not a big deal. I have never felt unsafe using this even while trying to get a stubborn blade bolt to break loose. The front tires fit down into the wheel holders and I don't know if you could make them come out even if you tried. One last note: When I first received the lift, the box it was packed in had had a rough ride in the UPS truck or somewhere in between. it had some holes in the box and when I removed all the parts I was missing a pin. Luckily it was not integral to the use of the lift. I e-mailed MoJack and got a quick response. The lady simply wanted to know where to mail the part and it was shipped, at no charge, to me. I received it in a couple of days. I enjoy purchasing from a company that stands behind it's products and I have recommended this jack to anyone who complains about changing lawn mower blades.

We received our MoJack 750 pound a week ago and are very happy with it so far. It assembled easily, with all the parts included, as expected, and is easy and safe to use. It is sturdily built, has proper safety measures, (wheel belts and safety lift lock) and is exactly what my husband has needed to service our three lawn tractors more easily. He's kicking himself for not finding and buying one sooner. Before ordering, I looked at other manufacturers and MoJack looked to be the most heavily built in this price range, which we definitely needed with our lawn tractors. Most pictures are of zero turn mowers, which have less weight in the front, so I included some we took of our largest mower on the lift. My husband commented that the wheel base was almost too wide for the lift, with only an inch or two to spare, and that he was glad that it included the security belts that hold the tires in the saddles. This said, do make sure that your mower will safely fit before ordering. He used his drill to lift the mowers, which he said worked well. Our lift was delivered UPS in a large box weighing 125 pounds. It was securely strapped but was still HEAVY, so you'll likely need an appliance cart or strong friend to help move it. We bought ours from Amazon Services LLC., and I do believe different suppliers might be the reason sometimes for poor customer satisfaction. Amazon has always made things right with me through the years if something is wrong with my purchase. If I have any more to add as time passes, I will update my review. Recommend! Edit- My husband has used this many times through the summer mowing season and is very happy with it's performance and safe, ease of use. He's very happy that we purchased this!

Assembly is a chore but the sturdiness requires more mass in all of it's features. It features a sturdy pawl latch with high density lifting strap. It's positive latching mechanism ensures that my zero turn stays where it needs to be. You will need to purchase a separate set of wheel chocks to ensure equipment rolling. Quick pin adjustments makes it versatile for all models and quick break down for storage.

You do need at least a little mechanical ability to put this bad boy together. But if you're the sort that's going to be servicing your own lawnmower, that's probably not going to be a problem anyway. And the assembly instructions are very thorough. Only one piece was missing when I inventoried all the components in the box -- a small washer, which I could easily replace. I put it together and it worked great!! Width of the wheel pads are very easy to adjust, wheel safety straps are mind-comforting and easy to use. The one complaint I have about this item is that I had great difficulty getting it to fold up after I was done. It's kinda involved anyway, since you have to remove the wheel pads, lifting arm inserts, and the lifting arm itself before you can fold it. After I did that, I was supposed to be able to lift up on the tower and fold it forward onto the base. But it was stuck. It turns out that I had tightened the bolt & nut connecting the tower and base too tight. I guess you don't need to tighten that stuff very well, since the nuts have nylon on the threads to keep them from moving easily. Wherever you put them on the bolt, they'll stay there. But even after I loosened the nut, it was still difficult to lift the tower out of the base so I could fold it forward. But since I bought this for use in my mower repair shop (that's why I bought the biggest MoJack model; so I can handle anything that comes my way) and plan to use it often, I probably don't need to be folding it and putting it away. I should just leave it out, since I plan to use it often for all different kinds of mowers. I've only used it a couple times up to this point, but I'd recommend it. It works well. ******************************************************************************************************************************* Ok, this part of the review is a few weeks after the first part shown above. I downgraded the MoJack from 4 stars to 3 because in only about 6 weeks' time, the crank suddenly became extremely difficult to use and it eventually seized up completely. The problem was in the cranking mechanism itself, underneath the bolted-on cover at the base of the crank arm (this part comes already assembled). It seems that this MoJack was assembled without any lubrication. I couldn't really get the cover off, but I was able to work some oil in there anyway, and that fixed the problem. I also notice how much quieter it operates now. I don't know if all MoJacks are put together this way or if they just forgot to put some grease in mine, but I'm a little disappointed in the workmanship. This paragraph was written on May 1, 2012, and I'll add more if something else goes wrong.
