Aw, shucks... I try to communicate my decades of experience around lake issues—including repairs from the immense pressures of ice.

1) Recently, I found that it's nearly impossible to overreach the farm jack's capacity. When pressed beyond 3˝-tons, the jack simply binds-up and you will be unable to raise the object any further. Afterwards, the jack lowers just fine.

2) A handy item not seen with the Harbor Freight version is a second "jaw"—designed for the very top. The farm jack can then be used as a very powerful vise.
