BIG RED T820014S Torin Hydraulic Trolley Service/Floor Jack with Blow Mold Carrying Storage Case, 1.5 Ton (3,000 lb) Capacity, Red

What It Is

The BIG RED T820014S is a 1.5-ton (3,000 lb) hydraulic trolley floor jack designed for lifting lawn tractors, zero-turn mowers, and other small-to-medium equipment for service, tire changes, or blade work. It includes a blow-mold carrying case for storage and transport.

Fitment & Compatibility

• Lift capacity: 1.5 tons (3,000 lbs) – sufficient for most residential lawn tractors and zero-turn mowers (check your mower’s weight).
• Lift range: Minimum saddle height ~3.5 inches; maximum lift height ~13 inches – ensure your mower’s frame clearance is at least 4 inches to slide the jack under.
• Saddle size: 3.5 x 4.75 inches – may require a rubber pad or wood block to avoid denting thin mower frames or plastic decks.
• Not compatible with mowers weighing over 3,000 lbs (e.g., large commercial zero-turns with attachments) or those with less than 3.5 inches of ground clearance.
• Universal fit – works with any mower brand (John Deere, Husqvarna, Cub Cadet, etc.) as long as weight and clearance specs are met.

Key Things to Know

• Quality: Solid for the price, but some users report air in the hydraulic system upon arrival – bleed it (turn release valve counterclockwise, pump handle several times) before first use.
• Installation difficulty: None – comes assembled; just remove from case, check oil level, and bleed as needed.
• Common gotchas: The carrying case is thin plastic and may crack if handled roughly; store jack separately if possible. The handle can be wobbly when fully extended – tighten the retaining bolt.
• Lifting point: Always lift on a reinforced frame rail or axle, not the mower deck (which can bend or crack).

Should You Buy It

Buy this if you have a residential lawn tractor or zero-turn mower under 3,000 lbs and need an affordable, portable jack for basic maintenance like blade swaps, tire changes, or deck cleaning. It’s not built for daily professional use or heavy commercial mowers, but for home mechanics, it’s a solid value at the price.
