Plates look great and are easy to install. Only problem is that you can see dent mark and very small paint issues that are hardly noticeable unless you inspect it carefully. Installation video on mustangjackson67.
Easy to assemble. Once assembled, this unit is of good quality and performs well. Fairly easy to maintain the mower lifted in the air.
The locking notches provide an added measure of security. It stores easily out of the way. I just wish it was easier to lower it gently, as it tends to drop rather abruptly when the release valve is cracked open.
It moves when jacking up the lawnmower. It literally rolls away from the tractor. It is cheaply made and not steady enough to hold my mower.
It is obviously rendered unusable. Manual was poorly written and essentially useless. Waste of $120.
Called and emailed company, but no response. No troubleshooting available and unable to reach original manufacture for assistance.
The design of the frame is marginal as to size of the members to support the stated weight. Was told remove steel rods and do not lock mower.
