    Default Will this Lawn Tractor Lift work for a Spyder?

    Will this work to life the front end of an RT-S?

    350 lbs. of lift strength ... ... I wouldn't use that on a Spyder or a Ryker .... you have many choices of lifts in that price range ( and even less money ) .... check out Sears , Great Northern, Harbor Freight ...... good luck ... mike

    I agree. That lift is not strong enough. Its also not wide enough.

    Lifting the front end of an RTS involves lifting most of the mass of the spyder. I used a pair of folding ramps for the back of a pickup that were rated for 1500#. Just put them on and drive the spyder up until you have the height you need. EZPZ

    That's exactly how I do it. Then I jack up the rear and set a third ramp under the rear tire. Now it's level and secure and I have plenty of room to change the oil. Safety first always!
