Hello all, I own a fertilization company in metro Detroit, I’m looking to purchase a zero turn lift for my Toro 50”. Looked at the Oregon 350 lb. lift. Believe it’s the 42-008 model, any recommendations, thanks everyone.

Jungle Jim Jack. Google it, well worth the $. If you're going to be putting yourself under a 1000lb mower i wouldn't cheap out
Use my 2 ton shop crane from harbor freight. Many uses, actually pulling the motor out of my stepson's 2007 impala with it now.
I used a Jungle Jack for a couple of years. Then I rigged up one of these to my garage ceiling. Much easier.

Floor jack and jack stands. I would never trust a winch type lift without jack stands. I would rather push the mower into the air then pull it off the ground.
jack stands too... but the front of the mower is so much lighter than the back, with the way the machine is balanced you can just pick up the front.
man i dunno, are all you guys small?
I used to just pick up the front of my mower and stuff an upside down 5 gal bucket under one side of the deck.
Thats a 60" Z.
Im not really understanding the complexity of a multi ton ceiling winch for this purpose when the majority of posters here have one or two machines?

If it's a time cutter, you can just raise deck all the way and it comes off. Super light weight too
:laugh:The mow jack is trash IMO. My 59” wide wheelbase mower won’t fit on one anyway. I usually just park my mower half way on the back of my equipment trailer and then pull the ramps out from under it and then strap it so it can’t roll off. That’s assuming no equipment was handy to lift it and set a jackstand under it.
Nope
Jungle jacks

All that stuff seen it all slip
Never had a problem with with bucket
Never had it move, crush, fail of do anything scary.
There just simply isn't that much weight on it, it's mostly transferred to the back drive wheel
A regular jack stand works too but for models they are a bit too tall even at the lowest (bottom out) setting
And when it's over high like that it actually makes of more dangerous/like to kick out and slip.
Jack stand is designed to have heavy weight applies directly to it evenly from above that's why it Doesn't work so slick
I've read pretty good things about that Harbor Freight jack (I just can't justify buying one quite yet)....I just use my cheap craftsman floor jack and a stand. Seems to work well on my truck and the stander too:yow!:

I weigh a buck fifty ish and I do have to give the jungle jack not really a jump but swing my body weight back real quick to get the 36 stander up. I can get my 34z up on it with no problem. I'm pretty sure the foot piece can be moved to vary the fulcrum (I think that's the word I'm looking for) which would make it easier. But I just haven't. But when either mower is on that lift, the lift actually leans forward on purpose to "gravity lock" all the weight forward past 90 degrees. The laws of physics would need to change for that to tip unless you aren't on solid ground.
