The only thing that picture is missing is one of your kids laying under whatever the fuck it is. If that is your shit.... don't go making fun of people on facebook.
It is my shit and I don't have any kids around to go under there. don't worry, had a rachet strap to hold it up. I had to change out the steering shaft that has to come out the bottom.
Off to facebook to make fun of people.

So I can only assume you were bored with using the winch?
Lol! Tried winching and with the weight of the tractor and the suction of the mud the Rangie just slid. As in an field no close trees to secure the Rangie and only have 1 PulPal. So out came the jack and many wooden blocks to support it. Although the aluminum ladders were destroyed the tractor was extracted.

Really overblown and "let's make this rocket science" but it works....

Why not use that shovel to dig out sand from in front of the tires? Move a fraction of the sand in a fraction of the time and have more time to throw another shrimp on the barbie. But of course then Crocodile Dundee wouldn't have the opportunity to show off so many ARB items.

Hi-Lift jack is a topic that merits its own thread, I think. Everybody with a shiny new Hi-Lift bolted to the outside of their vehicle knows all there's to know about hundreds of uses for one. Nobody I ever met used their jacks as a come-along; I have helped a guy to do it once, and it was back-wrenching hard and incredibly dangerous. The only factory use for one - lifting a vehicle - is also a sore subject since most vehicles don't have a single place under which it could be used. In this respect, jack maintenance - or lack of it- takes the last place in related conversation. It becomes funny when there's a two-ton something flapping in the breeze on the over-extended jack, and the owner is desperately trying to flip the direction lever and make the dust/mud-covered pins move.

I used my Hi-Lift once to lift an 8x10 garden shed that my dog had got under going after a rabbit, and then couldn't come back out.

That was the last time I used it since I bought it in 2014.

it’s just a lawn mower. Probably wouldn’t kill a kid if it fell. What doesn’t kill them makes them stronger.

No, it would probably kill them if they had to use it.
I can't count the times some fucking millennial has gone to human resources to complain about me making them do shit and then getting those damn dolls out again and what have you. I might have gotten fired if I asked one of them to use a piece of equipment like a lawn mower. And you know I've had the hurt feelings report filled out on me bunches of times.
It's gotten really hard to deal with kids these days. You can't beat them anymore, you can't make them do chores like cutting grass. But the state of Illinois says I still have to feed them till they're 18 years old.
