I have a Ferris is700z with the 61 inch deck... seriously hands down best mower I've ever owned... thing is a beast and it moves out. highly recommend it. I move my yard 3.51 acres in an hour and a half and that's with all the shit I have to mow around.

what gauge are you looking for?

where are you at? That video should have walked you through the entire process

you won't regret it.... make sure to install Excodus

dude, seriously, get a couple fire sticks, load KODI on them and call it a day.

I'm actually thinking about bolting a 4x4 to the shelving in front of it and then using a comealong... it's more work, but then I can feel the feedback and not risk breaking something.

ya, I'm now contemplating a new way to do it, plus the ramps sit so low, it might not even be a big deal if I need to push a car on it. I also wanted to mention, as soon as I had a car on the lift, it lowered exactly as expected without having to pull on the cable.

yup... and right now, they have 0% interest for 12 months as well as a bunch of extras (wheel casters, jack tray, drip pans). I moved it tonight with the dolly's very easily. I still need to get some adjustments worked out but the adjustments are because they take extra precautions to make sure that safety is key for them.

ok, taking the cable and pulling it in seemed to do the trick to lower it. I tightened the cable as much as I could but it still sticks. I ended up having to take a zip tie to hold the cable back. This is obviously something I don't want to do. Any ideas on how to get that cable tighter?

as well as after more thought, putting a winch on those poles probably isn't too smart

I figured I should post this up now as well... I was thinking that a winch or something would be great to put on the front of the 4 post lift so that I can easily pull a car up on the ramps... the question is, has anyone done this or know how? I don't really want to weld a rail across the front as I want it to be adjustable height wise. The only thing I can think of is just get a steal beam the length of the width of the lift and then mount a winch on it so that it can't pass through the 2 front posts and then can pull a car up that way... that seems like alot of work though and would prefer and easier way if possible.

I just spoke with their tech support and he said even though the cables seem tight, tighten it a little more... said there's another locking mechanism in there that if the cables aren't completely tight that it will lock the lift from going down as well. I'm going to try that tonight and will post up results.

They are all completely level with each other and lock at the same time going up as you hear the distinct clank noise as they pop into position and you see the unlock bar pop into place. I went to take the cover off last night, but I can't as the pulley is run through it as well and that would require being unbolted and that's pretty much what's holding that corner up. I don't have a lack that will get as high as you're asking. The only thing I could possibly do is stick a 2x4 under it to prop it up. (I was planning on allowing the cable to support the weight though and just try to bring it down with the ladder not bolted in... it's only 1 bolt holding the whole thing in the first place) The natural curve of it is bending inwards currently, that's how I did all 4 posts. I was thinking that would help with making sure that the locks engage.

that's where my thoughts are at... I was thinking about unbolting the ladder, seeing if everything falls and then I have more play to allow the ramps to drop. If so, then flipping around the ladder.

nope, not at all... it's pressing against where you see the rub marks. I was thinking about unbolting that post's locking ladder to see if it will slide down then.

You can see in this picture where I think things are rubbing causing it to stick if you look at the ladder lock... Keep in mind, this is only going up and down once. The rub marks are where we broke it loose tonight and got down one run before it stuck again. http://i272.photobucket.com/albums/jj196/smokin5s/20160905_212222_zpsh3l8fzwr.jpghttp://i272.photobucket.com/albums/jj196/smokin5s/lift1_zps2pkfj1aj.jpghttp://i272.photobucket.com/albums/jj196/smokin5s/lift3_zpsxunqkygc.jpg Please excuse the mess of the garage... moving things around to get all the insulation in as well as have enough room to build the lift with multiple ATV's, cars, and mowers makes it easy to have a mess on your hands quick.

I'm not sure I understand what you mean? The wheel casters that it comes with that allow it to move connect to the ramps themselves so the lift has to be in the downward position. My buddy and I got it to lower down one more spot on the ladder locks by wedging a crow bar and pulling down. When it let loose the crowbar went flying and we think he broke his finger so that's not really a good idea to try anymore. It does feel like it's really tight where the ladder locks are. I was able to look in there and the locks are pulling out completely so it's not the lock being engaged but I'm not sure that it's not still catching and pushing pressure on the lock ladders.

I did... lock is pulled all the way back. I even tried pulling on it by hand... I can lift it up and it will go up and then slide backdown until it gets to that point. I noticed the stop ladders were bent a little bit. It looks like it has plenty of play to bend back as the track slides down it. I guess I could try to get another set of hands to help try to push that ladder a bit as the lift goes down to see if maybe that would help although I'm pretty sure it has enough room there.

Not sure if this is the right section for this or not. I got my 4 post lift put together last night and it raised fine. But when I go to lower it, one post goes half way down and then it sticks. The cables are all set to the correct length and using a level, everything is level... This lift does not require being bolted to the floor so it is not. I've tried spraying liquid lubricant inside the post, I've even tried a little grease. I have a feeling that something isn't setting plum once it gets to a certain height but from everything I can tell, it all seems right and leveled. Any help would be appreciated.

TTT make me an offer... especially on that barbie car, I'd probably take a case of beer for it.

I have an AOE... stay away, I repeat, stay away from them... nothing but problems and it's new.... like we're talking have to go down and reset the damn thing all the time. Had someone come out under warranty, they rebuilt it and left a mess for me to clean up (water everywhere) Hot water doesn't last long, etc... Sorry, I can't tell you who to go with, but I can tell you who not to go with :-)
