Default Cub table

I know I saw on here years ago that someone (I think Sam Mac but not sure) had modified a motorcycle lift table so their cubs were easier to work on. I've considered getting a lift table to service both my cubs and motorcycles but I'm hesitant that if I get a cheap table that it will be too tippy for a cub to sit on. I'm now leaning more towards the idea of building a bench about 18 off the floor and use a ramp to get my bikes/cubs up on it. Just curious what everyone has done similar.

Edit: I attached an image of what I'm thinking about making. I'm thinking about scaling it to 36"x72" so I can still get a motorcycle on it.

I would go wider, a Super is about 44" wide at the rear wheels. The GT's are 38" wide.

Thanks for the advice and help with future-proofing it. I was just basing it off of my 100 but would someday like a super cub if I come across one.

How tall would you go? I was thinking that 18" would make the base at about hand level while sitting on my shop stool. Also, I was planning on using a set of ATV pickup ramps to get it up on the table without making it too dangerous.

18" is fine if you are sitting. I did not know this.

My Gold Wing could sit on that and stay broken forever.

I got mine "ran when parked" from a friend who lost the keys about 5 years before I acquired it, around 5 years ago.

I should probably pass it on to someone who will do something with it, but I know if I clean the carbs, change the fluids, and replace the timing belt, it will be good for another 100,000 miles. If I had a table like that I'd be one step closer to a project I'll probably never finish.

As far as hoisting stuff up goes, I'd put it right in line with the beam in my garage and use a hoist on a trolley.

Thanks everyone for their input on the table. It took a little under 2 hours to build and was all supplies I had laying around so I'm not sure how much it ended up costing. The final dimensions I built it was 90x40x20. I wanted to go 48 wide but would have room to get my other tools around it in my small garage. It worked great and was even sturdy enough to winch up the donor tractor with all the tires flat.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
