hydraulic tractor jack

[ron41]

I have a Ford 3930 and would like to know if anybody has ever built a hydraulic tractor jack. I’m think of a way to get unstuck when no trees are around. Using a floor jack with wood or steel is getting old when you have to lug the stuff to the stuck tractor site. I could use a hydraulic cylinder from a log splitter or something like that and mount it to the 3 point hitch. I’m not sure if the 3 point will support the weight of the tractor. Possibly another location to mount a cylinder with a steel foot to lift the rear of machine. This would allow you put wood under the rear tires and drive away. Excellent website.

Yep use one all the time. lift up the arse & move it 5' sideways & continue on.

It's called a backhoe!

Sorry I needed some humor tonite

Years ago Ford made a 3pt. jack see picture... I don't know if it would help getting you unstuck, but it will let your 3pt lift the rear easily. KennyV.
