Pickup-Mounted Mower Lift FARM HOME Lawn Mowers 31h 38 Dave Meiners uses the receiver hitch on his pickup 2-in square tubing and a come-along to lift his riding mower so he can clean the deck and sharpen the blades “I came up with this idea about 10 years ago and have used it ever since Unlike cradle-type lifts on the market there are no arms in the way when I want to service the deck ” says Meiners “It’s also easy to store - I just hang the tubing on my garage wall ” He started with a 4-ft length of tubing and welded a horizontal 14-in piece on the bottom and an 8-in piece on top He also bolted a metal ring to the top piece The come-along hangs from the ring with the cable attached to the mower’s front bumper To lift the mower Meiners just jacks up the come-along “It lifts the mower about 1 ft off the ground which gives me enough room to clean the deck or remove the blades for sharpening ” says Meiners “I have another mower with no front bumper so I just hook a chain up to the come-along and wrap it around the front axle ” Contact: FARM SHOW Followup Dave Meiners 1582 61st St Edgerton Minn 56128 ph 507 829-1215; davemeiners123@gmail com
