Elevated Tractor Work Tables.

[Ambush]

There must be a few guys that do enough work to have work tables that make it easier and more enjoyable. Maybe even a rotisserie.

I'm interested to see some of the portable work tables. Preferably I'll make or modify something. And the pros and cons of whatever you're using.

I've got another resto planned for this winter and I'd really like to spent less time jacking, hoisting and grubbing around the ground.

I've seen a few YouTube videos where people use lift tables or modified motorcycle lifts. Maybe it'll help with the brainstorming.

This is the tractor rack I made a few years ago.
I use Harbor Freight ramps to access.
The only drawback is, if there is a mower deck on the tractor, it catches at the angle where the ramps meet the rack.

Thanks Ironman, simple and effective! What is the height and do you find that about optimum?

And nice work on the Robin egg blue resto!

I got this table off a friend who worked maintenance at a manufacturing plant. This table has saved my back numerous times!

It is 40" wide, 68" long, and 21" high.
The height is perfect for working on anything above, and for below from the floor or on a creeper.
To move it I lift out the diamond grid, stand in the middle and just pick it up by the two inner rails.

Thanks on the resto, it's called Tantalizing Turquoise. (seriously)

Sounds more like the stage name of an exotic dancer!

Thanks for the specs. I will keep my eyes open for suitable materials. I already have ramps, so that makes the design even more attractive.

Love the look at the speakers. Resembles things here.

But to keep it on point. Good to see some ideas here. Along with
Ambush and countless others I figure. I too spend time grubbing on the
ground and it is just getting to darn hard.

I appears that I'm not the only one who has looked for ways to get off the floor when working on a Cub Cadet. Great minds think alike?, or just old knees ache alike?

I have a hydraulic lift that picks the front end up. It is handy and helps a lot, but that only solves part of the problem. I've looked around for something, haven't yet found a solution that suits me. Some of the ideas shown here are interesting and may have some promise in my application, but I really want something off the shelf, I don't want to have to fabricate it.

Keep posting your ideas, I may try to adopt some of them.

Ken, thats what happens when mama kicks the stereo out of the house.
