Hydraulic or Crank?

[Desperado]

if electric jacks aren't lifting your shack the way you'd like them to ...

you just happen to have the wrong set of electric jacks for this particular appliction

Desperado, what brand & model jacks do you use ?

Lip ripper , what brand & model 12 volt hyd pump do you have on your

Houses ?

Blown hose on a Sunday = another day or two of fishing. Are the odds any better finding replacement parts for either of the other systems?

My hydraulic wheels and electric tounge jack both have manual backup in case of battery failure for plan B. Bottle jacks and blocking to get locking pins in place for plan C. What are your plans when your superior system breaks down?

Well when you are done digging out your extra jack and stacking your blocks. I will have already replaced my cable when your done jacking your house up to put the locking pin in place I'll be at the bar waiting for you. I will however buy you a cold one since you will probably be thirsty.

Cool. Free beer. Thanks.

Actually, have never had a problem. Just like to have options.

I like the fact that if a cable snaps I put on the replacement that is packed in my house in 10 minutes and the thing I won't have is a messy oil residue that is soaked into my carpet and/or flooring and hours of cleaning and maybe replacement of it? Just my thought on it... I would love the hydraulic power without the oil deal...Air lift might be nice, but you would need to carry a spare bag and lines... then to try bending an air line in -30 ouch...
