For my front deck lawn mowers, midimount lawn tractors and vehicles, I invested in a used 10,000 lb capacity 2 post lift. I use 2, 7' car ramps (inverted to contain the tire profiles) mounted on the 2 sets of lift arms to raise up the mowers to a comfortable working height. The wheels sit nicely in the tracks with chocks clipped in after driving them on. Because the arms have adjustable length sections, I can easily lift all my different axle width machines. At the same time I can easily pull off the deck blades and sharpen them while the oil is draining. I also store my F-935 front mower on the lift when not in use to get it out of the way. Now I tend to inspect blades and undercarriages just about after every use rather than when I feel like it (which was getting less often). I had to slice out a section of my machine shed to put in a patch of thick 8 bag reinforced concrete tied into the other floor concrete, for safety precaution, but it's so well worth it. Besides, maintenance, the lifting capability has other uses too. as in mounting loaded tractor tires, straightening and bending steel pieces, and changing tires. When not in use, I leave it up in the air and completely out of the way.
No more crawling under these machines, jacks, jack stands, sore shoulders, or maintenance or repair procrastination. AND, it was my GF who suggested it ! How could I say NO ???
