Jungle Jack Vs MoJack Pro

[Ric]

The Jungle Jack was recommended by my scag dealer. It is the only thing they use in their service dept. They do not recommend the Mojack.

It is a long time dealer and they sell a ton of Scags and Jungle Jacks

As far as recommending the jungle jack at your dealer it's only natural they recommend what they use or sell. As far as using one I think due to the fact that it's lift is approximately 19" would be a problem for me. The Mojack will lift my mower 24"and a little higher if I wish, which allows me to have plenty of room to work under the deck with air guns to remove blades. Personally I like and think having a mower supported at two points is a lot safer than one and the Mojack is only half the price.

Yep, I like the way the MoJack has a locking pin with holes at two heights to lock the lift in place and the straps for the front tires. I did, however, learn the hard way when I was cleaning under the deck to install my mulch kit that you need to secure the rear wheels front & back if you are not on a level surface(my driveway has about a 10 degree angle).......as the ZTR and the jack wanted to go down the driveway and I had to be pretty quick lowering it down and securing the rear wheels(it almost "ran over me":0)

Yeah I like the locking pin on the Mojack and like I said I like the fact that it supports the whole front end of the mower. I think the Jungle Jack would be ideal for a business to carry in there truck when there out on the job possibly, maybe for cleaning out there deck real quick or maybe changing a bent blade if something like that ever happened.

I would also look at this one from Harbor Freight. Right now its on sale for $79.99 and I was able to use a 20% off coupon. I looked at the Mojack (the lighter duty one - 300#), and the HF unit is of equal quality. I've used it several times and it is pretty sturdy. Like all Harbor Freight equipment, it is great for the homeowner. It would not likely stand up to being used in a shop everyday.

I've had that thing loaded in the cart three times with the 20% discount and could not pull the trigger. My wildcat weighs just under 1100 Lbs so my guess is with two wheels off the ground I could exceed the 300 Lb limit. My bride says fuggedaboutit and get the mojack pro. My dealer swears by the jungle jack. I like the accessory on the mojack pro for lifting my walk behind mower for annual maintenance. I'm far enough along in years where I get a finite number of bendovers per day. There is a big penalty for exceeding the daily limit.

I've been considering your point about the commercial user with the jack in the back of his trailer or truck. I think the jungle jack makes more sense in that setting and my dealer sells these things and for the most part I am sure he caters to commercial accounts.

I like the 24" MJ vs the 19" JJ. A pretty big difference. Two points of support certainly can't hurt and surely must be more stable. The MoJack Pro runs $450 while the Jungle Jack runs 200. I'm thinking since my Wildcat is 1100 Lbs I should go with the pro. Wrong?

My Gravely weighs 1,051 pounds "dry weight" and I ask my dealer about the MoJack 300 pound rating. He told me it would be fine, that simply lifting the front(or even the rear) wheels alone would not exceed that(you're not lifitng the whole machine and a LOT of the weight bearing will still be on the wheels that are still on the ground). It's your money, but the regular MoJack is half the price of the Pro model.

If I had a 1100 lb mower I would definitely go with the Mojack Pro lift. I use the EZ with the 300lb rating and lift my Grandstand and the 48" CC ztr. I also have the work bench attachment and it works great for working on the push mowers. You wont be disappointed if you buy the pro it will lift anything or mower available. You mite want to call Tractor supply and see what price they could get you, they have had the EZ on sale for $99, maybe they could do better on the price of the Pro. Just a thought.

The thing you need to look at is the outside wheel measurement, the EZ takes anything up to like 47 " the Pro goes out to 62" I'm not sure if the wildcat will fit the EZ or not. AS far as the lift goes I agree all the weight is going to be in the back.
