BIG REDTR6501B Torin 48" Ratcheting Off Road Utility Farm Jack, 3 Ton (6,000 lb) Capacity, Red

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.

I am rebuilding my deck and some spots had sunk. I am using this jack to raise those spots. I had tried using a bottle jack and it kept falling over. This worked great in these locations.

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.

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.

If I could rate this a minus one star I would. The entire Jack is made of cast material and is very rough which would not be a problem if it did not interfere with the operation. I have owned several high lift jacks and I have worked them hard and abused them terribly without ever having a failure. I purchased this jack to lift fence posts from the ground. The first stroke of the jack produced a jam when the handle was lifted for the next stroke and after some monkeying around I was able to continue by jerking the handle from side to side on the way up. When the jack was at the top it jammed up tight and had to be kicked out of position. I lubed the entire jack and tried again with some success. At one point when fighting the jack through the up stroke with the control in the down position I had the handle come out of my hand and if you've used a high lift before you know that you never lose control of that handle. The handle narrowly missed my head on the violent kick back. Before I was able to finish pulling a dozen posts the main beam of the jack bent in the middle. I was able to stand on it with it across two boards and straighten it enough to finish the job. This is a frighteningly poor quality jack for the price and should be taken off the market before someone dies using one. I thought it was a made in USA product however after checking the label I see it is made in China. DO NOT BUY THIS JACK!

Great heavy duty 6,000 lb farm jack. I got my money back on labor costs the first day I received it. I used it to pull steel fence posts that I thought were immovable. This jack pulled these fence post out of dry packed clay soil in minutes. I pulled about 90 steel fence posts in about 2 hours.

This jack worked great for pulling a bunch of t-posts which is why I bought it.

works great
