Well I bought the Hi-Lift today, $80 for the jack and $15 for the handle keeper.
I looked at the 2 jacks and compared them very closely and there are only three difference's.
1-the Hi-Lift is made in the US.
2-the Hi-Lift has a removable handle
3-The Hi-Lift has a quick release base

Both have a 7,000lbs rating, both were cast, both weighed the same.
Accessories for the Hi-Lift will work with the Farm Jack.

I went with the Hi-Lift because it is made in the US and has a removable handle.

Can't argue with that. I will get one one of these days.

They only had the Hi-Lift in red, the Farm Jack was in red or black.
Honestly, if you have a TSC near you it is cheaper to buy one there.
It's $80.
You can get it for $65 online but after shipping it was $82.

I am buying this next.

I am going to try and find it locally.

Where is a good source that shows how to winch with the Hi-Lift? I could have used something the other day...
