I currently use ramps for my Polaris Sportsman 850 but would consider using this lift.  Interested in what anyone who owns one.  There was a time when HF was junk but I'm impressed with everything I've bought from them over the past 10 years.  Their return policy is pretty good.

I've had pretty good luck with their automotive floor jacks and hand tools for my weekend warrior projects. I like how this unit has the physical stop on it so you're not relying on the hydraulics.

There's an aluminum version for $100 more. I can't see much justification for spending the extra dough though.

I've known a couple of people that have owned them.

The one thing they all agreed on was theres a couple of weld points (forget where) that they rewelded and have gotten good service out of them.

The 500 drive on lift they have is for a motorcycle, I don't think its wide enough for atv, but that's the one I was referring to. Its a very nice lift but its now up to 599 a few years ago you could get it for 299

Thats the same reason I never bought one floor space, I wish I would have now, the prices have gone so high. I think the other reason is that they are so heavy, which is a good thing, but more than one man can really move around.

I have two friends that found lift tables in some manufacturing plant being demolished. Man they are the bomb. Rated for like a million pounds and electric over hydraulic. They raise high enough to bring a Harley almost chest high. They've added casters to roll them around brackets to grab the forks, man they are sweet.

I’ve been using the HF ATV jack for about 8 years. Have yet to have an issue with it. I’ve used it to lift my Honda 250 quad and my linhai 400 as well as doing double duty to lift the front or back of my zero turn to do deck maintenance.

Ive noticed that in some of their tools as well.

even their lower end ones are pretty reliable and they make this bendy 3/8 ratchet handle that is the absolute bomb.

I would love in a fantasy world to buy that big obnoxious ICON tool chest. 

Im running out place to store my tool collections.

For tools that put food on the table I've always gone with the best I can afford. Occasional use tools are often the lest expensive available. And Harbour Freight, and Northern Tool have impressed me.

I was going to get that lift table. and just make the side extensions easily removable so I can just leave in the middle of the garage and just park my truck over it. now just have to wait for it to go on sale.

It might be too high to park your truck over. It has a ramp to get over the base structure.

Thanks but I doubt it. I have a late model F250 so the lift would have to be almost a foot high to not be able to clear it.

      Anyone have a Suzuki LT185 owner manual?
      By rjsummer
      I just bought a 1984 Suzuki LT185 ATV and am looking for the OWNER’S manual. ( not a service manual) 
      I contacted Suzuki Canada but they have no paper or digital copies in their archives. 
      Does anyone possibly have a digital copy they’d be willing to share?

      How did you get into Quads?
      By Mikey69
      Heres my story. Kinda long. I guess I was a late bloomer when it comes to quads. I had never ridden a quad in my life. Rode Dirt Bikes as a kid growing up. Back in Oct of '06 I found a Mustang on craigslist. Took it for a test drive one morning before work. Fast car. 351 Cleveland. I had planned on meeting the guy again after work. For some strange reason thats still to this day beyond me, I stopped in Hillsboro MotoSports on the way home from work. I had 6 Grand on me. There was a left over '05 sitting by the front door. It was on sale for $4999. It was $5499 OTD. I didnt even look at anything else. I knew nothing about quads accept I thought it really looked coool and I had the money in my pocket to buy it. I was sitting on it when the salesman walked up and asked... "Can I help you?" Without hestitation I pulled 60 Ben Franklins outta my front pocket and said "I want this Quad. Load it up in my truck." It was just about dark by the time I drove away from the shop. BTW, I didnt bother to ask my ol lady if I could buy it. LOL. Anyway, I took it by the house and showed her. She was kinda stunned but not mad. We drove over to a friend of mines house and unloaded it. I took it to the field across the street from his house. HOLY CHIT!!!!! I was surprised by the power. I had it for about 2 weeks and took it to Sand Lake. I was there a few hours and rolled it on a banked turn at the top of the bowl right before you get to the one-ways. When it rolled, I flew off and landed on my belly. The quad came bouncing and landed on my back. For a month I couldnt even walk. I was scared of it. I considered trading it for a 250EX. Went back to the shop. The salesman said..."Dude!!! You dont want a 250EX!!! Trust me. Just get used to it" I still wasnt convinced. I put it on craigslist for $4000. Calls were coming in. I had a guy that wanted to come look at it that evening. I decided to take it for one last ride at Browns Camp before I sold it. I was still afraid of it. After about 5 minutes I started feeling comfortable on it again. I decided right then, I loved my Honda 450 and would learn how to ride it instead of selling it. That was late Nov of '06. Work was slow for a Painter in Oregon. My new job everyday? Going to Browns Camp and ridding my Quad. I bought my Girl Friend an '02 Blaster. I rode my 450 for 4-6 hours almost every single day for 3 months. And yes, I know my way around Browns Camp pretty well. LOL. In March I bought her an '06 TRX250EX (Thank God I didnt trade my 450 for one of those) LOL Since then, I have become totally addicted to quads. I love them. Couldnt imagine not owning at least one quad. Luckily I have two. My "07 was $6500 OTD in July of '07. Bought it for my Girlfriend. Traded in her 250 EX. A month later we broke up. So, I wound up with two Honda 450's.

      Has anyone found aftermarket CDI for Big Bear 400?
      By Callaway
      I am trying to diagnose a no spark issue with my 02 Big Bear 400 and I am really hoping it is not a CDI.  I have done the test on the stator and I believe that is faulty.  I ordered a new aftermarket one from a the jungle website and it tested bad right out of the box so I am waiting for a different one to arrive from an ATV parts supplier.  I started looking out of curiosity at CDI units and it seems if it is for a big bear you are SOL.  Kodiaks, no problem.  Big Bear. No such luck.

      Hey all, BruinBeater here.  Just joined up from the Pittsburgh, PA area.
      Got a Polaris Sportsman 1000 and a 570 in the garage that don't get ridden quite enough but looking forward to a family trip this fall.
      I'm the unofficial mechanic of the extended family.  In the past month or so I've replaced a transmission in a Chevy Silverado, rust repair on a Chevy Malibu, electrical repair on a Subaru Crosstrek, overheating issue solved on a Can Am Commander, and right now I have a pair of Grizzly and a Bruin 350 in the garage.  Both have a no start condition and have been sitting for 2+ years.
