bo dawg 476 #1 Posted August 21, 2018 (edited) I am going to build a wooden lift stands and ramps to drive tractor up on and get off the floor. My question is what is a good avg height that most prefer to have it at? 18” up off the floor or higher? Edited August 21, 2018 by bo dawg Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CasualObserver 3,406 #2 Posted August 21, 2018 I had a wooden worktable for a while. I built it at 24" tall on casters. I thought it was a nice height for me at 6'tall. Tall enough I could reach around most things standing but also could sit on one of my adjustable stools too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RandyLittrell 3,827 #5 Posted August 21, 2018 (edited) Here is mine, ignore the yellow thing on there! Its 18" to 24" I think, I can measure tonight. I highly suggest you either winch it on there or I put the tractors in low and idle them up without me on and kill the ignition at the top of the ramp.

Daron1965 644 #6 Posted August 21, 2018 I like the cut outs on the deck. Another great idea I will use. Thank you. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bo dawg 476 #7 Posted August 21, 2018 (edited) I'm thinking more like what you would find in a garage for vehicles, but smaller scale. Not a table top type. It would break down leaving 4 separate stands for each wheel once the tractor is up on it. Plus it would store easy as well. I wondering if 18" would be about the right height to sit on a stool and work toward the bottom and sides, or stand for the top of the tractor like engine work. Plus I could lay under it to do some nice under body work. LOl! Edited August 21, 2018 by bo dawg Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The whole middle is open and I put boards underneath so you can use 2 by material and slide them front to back. So I can remove all or just put pieces under to use a jack.
