BIG RED TR6501B Torin 48" Ratcheting Off Road Utility Farm Jack, 3 Ton (6,000...

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.

Used to pull old fence posts out of the ground. Worked great. Appreciated the hooked anchor point at the top which allowed a 2x4 to stabilize the tool while pulling the concreted posts up. Yes, it's a one time purchase for 99% of users. But it's worth every penny (and more) for that single usage.

It’s made a task I’ve struggled with for far too long, possible. I don’t know why marketing is squarely for cars, seems lots of people are pulling things out of the ground. I wish I’d known years ago. It’s taking a lot of abuse, getting the job done and still going. I see some people bent theirs. I almost bent mine, but I think it was neglecting the importance of maintaining an orientation square to the force being applied. It’s strong, not indestructible. I was actually lifting a 2 foot rock-wall while trying to uproot one of these monsters. The only real criticism is that top jaw is not flush to the main beam and the hole to screw it in place has play, allowing it to rise too far upwards. I think the tooth that prevents rotation should be on the bottom of the jaw or better, the bottom and the top. A lesser concern, the clip, that holds the handle up, could be a little stronger, but that’s not a major function. FWIW I used the strap from a ratchet tie-down, to pull the root.

Poor quality, was able to successfully raise and lower approx 500lbs one time before the jack stopped lowering. I followed general recommendations on getting the jack to work, lubrication, raking the assembly up the shaft to release the stuck climbing pins. After lubrication I realized that the cross pins are only secured by the spring tension and are not properly pressed in to the climbing pins. The more I look at this heap of crap the worse it looks. This is definitely a you get what you pay for. Pay the extra 40 bucks and get the name brand.

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.

Used this to remove some fence posts - worked well. Dug around the concrete in the ground since the post was rotten, then use some tie-downs to wrap around the conrete in the hole, used the lift to crank the concrete out of the hole! If the wood post is not rotten, you can use the tie-downs to wrap the post and save the digging. Excellent concept for removing fence posts in concrete. Got the idea from YouTube video.

This was strong and stout. Together with the "platform" placed under it and a very sturdy chain it pulled our concrete embedded fence posts out of the ground nicely. Yes, a little "muscle grease" required, but WAY BETTER AND FASTER than just digging with a shovel.

It's a Beast. It weighs a lot. My application is to help move heavy tractor powered agriculture implements on and off the tractor.
