tractor table
What do ou guys use for raising the tractor to a better working height. I like the air lift tables but they are 1000 plus with the extensions on them. My back cant handle the bending as much any more.

A lot of guys just use ramps with a fixed table.. I still just bend over but use a bench for the motor.. Or I leave it on my trailer to work on it.

I have heard that old hospital beds work good and can be picked up at a fraction of the cost.

I was at a fella's house a few weeks ago who had a two very heavy built stationary tables that he had made. The decks were 2 X 6's layed crossways, they were recessed so they were flush with the top of the outer edge. Once the tractor was in place, the 2 X 6's that weren't under the tires could be removed for working underneath. He had built very nice ramps to get the tractors on and off and a winch to pull a disabled tractor onto the table.
I don't know that it was the "perfect" set-up, but it was about the best looking deal that I had ever seen. I have a butt-load of 2 X 4 thick wall tubing that I have been saving, after seeing his tables. I just may use some of it up. If any of you guys have lifts, tables or other hoisting devices I sure would like to see some pictures. I'm always open for better ideas. |

Yosemite Sam, I'm with the others and would love to see a picture of that setup if you could get one. I spend way too much time getting up and down any more. It was a heck of a lot easier 20 years ago. Okay 30. Darn. It sucks getting old! I do enjoy being smarter now though... That saves me some time.

Yeah, this guy is really pretty sharp, he's several years younger than I am but he's been working on garden tractors for a long time and he understands what what "work smarter not harder" means and really uses it to his advantage.
He is about 2 hrs. from me, but I will email him and ask if he will take some pics and send them to me, so I can post them. |

Woo Hoo, the guy with the tractor tables wrote back and sent pics, He said...
First three are of the table in the small shop. Last two pictures are in the big shop. Pictures didn't come out too good but you can get the idea. I would estimate both tables to be 750+ lbs each. The table in the small shop is about 50-inches wide and 72-inches long. The table in the big shop is about 56-inches wide and 84-inches long. I have had my John Deere 430 on both of them, the 430 weighs in about 2000 lbs. Don't know what I would do without either of the tables. |

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.
