Any recommendations for a new floor jack?

aghead

I finally blew a 3.5 ton floorjack.
I need a replacment 3.5 ton minimum, but a 4 ton is btr.
Any proven experience with the Northern or HF brands? Or other low cost ones
I lift my tractors and other equip, not carts only...Thanks

Its my understanding that 90% of the hydraulic jacks out there are made by the same company, one of their names comes to mind, Larin I belive, but all labeled for the company where its being sold. There are only like 2 USA made jacks, cant think of them off hand, and I don't even think Snapons is US made anymore.

Ive had my 3 ton HF jack for over year now and it seems to work just fine. I do wish I just would have spent the extra money and bought the 4 ton. Just be safe and use appropriate jack stands at all times.

I've got an old harbor freight jack, I probably got it 15 years ago. I've got no complaints about it, lifts anything I've ever needed it to lift. But I only use it to lift, use jack stands to hold them up once they're up.

I bought mine from Sams several years ago and love it. I needed one that
would raise high (I believe 22” if not more). Seems everything I own is
lifted.

I bought the Yellow Daytona 3.5-ton from Harbor Freight 2-yrs ago,its heavy and works awesome.2-guys I know bought the identical jack,1-from Mac,the other from Matco,and they haven't had an issue with them either. We compared them side-by-side,they are the same unit.

Others are agreeing with the HF Daytona 3 ton. The super duty model has a 2 year wrrty. They don't have a 3.5 ton.
I would prefer their 4 ton. It doesn't have that wrrty included but you can purchase it.

I have a 25 YO Matco 2 ton (all bent to heck and straightened alot) and a 20 YO Allied(Sams) 3.5 ton (now blowed). I def got moneys worth out of them. Some tractors I've lifted I had to use both in tandem to lift. They've been tested well.

A little late to the party, but if you’re lifting tractors and other heavy equipment go to Napa and pick up one of their 5 ton OTC floor jacks. Just be sure to take an extra hand to help load it in the truck because they’re about 250lbs. Well worth the extra cost believe me.

Like others have said. If you are lifting tractors and other equipment you need a good one.
