This method saves having to chop down the tree and cutting it up into ramps.

What a nutter... (your neighbour, not you!!!)

If using axle stands just make sure they are up to the job.... cheap jobbies from Halfords are not strong enough for a Full Fat... Pete

I am also a nutter.

This jack has all the mobiliy benefits of a trolly jack, with the non-colapse-ability of an axle stand.

Here's a good alternative to a jack. A pressurised vessel filled with a flamable gas.

I've seen my fair share too. No pictures as it was a long time ago when we didn't have digital cameras. Scissor jacks underneath diffs, lengths of 4x2 on end doubling as axle stands. Really unsafe a lot of it.

On a serious note, what a lot of people don't know is that the cheaper jacks don't have an automatic bleed valve in them which means they need to be manually bled of air. Open the lowering screw and pump the handle slowly 5 or 6 times and it'll be fine. Pro quality jacks have the auto-bleed so don't need this

Thanks but someone posted that on the previous page.

That jack probably only needs bleeding. Open the lowering valve fully, pump the handle up and down 5 times then re-test. The cheaper jacks don't have the auto-bleed thingy as I found out a while back.

Alloys make good ramps too...
