Bought myself an early Christmas present. At 81 pounding things with a hammer (I'm not quite as accurate as I once was ) is wearing thin so I got myself a hydraulic kit.

The brand is Torin "Big Red". I've had luck with Big Red jacks when jacking up the porch this summer so I went with them.

Looks good. And wise. Nothing seems to get easier, not pounding or anything
else for that matter. Have a good time with your Christmas Present.

I'd like to know more about your hydraulic kit; What country is it made in? 4 ton, 8 ton or what? I turn 80 in April and can relate to age limitations. Maybe a Torino "Big Red" is in my future. Thanks for sharing.

It's a 4 ton (8,000lb) kit. Made in China. I figure at my age and for how often I'll use it this is probably the most cost effective way to go. Here's a link.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
