A farm jack (also called a high-lift utility jack) is a versatile, manual ratcheting tool used for jobs in the field, garage, and off-road.

• Lifting vehicles like trucks, SUVs, ATVs, and tractors within the jack’s rated capacity.
• Off-road recovery when extra height helps free a stuck vehicle.
• Pulling fence posts or small stumps using a suitable chain or strap.
• Clamping or spreading parts during repairs and projects.

On Walmart.com, you’ll see capacities around 3–3.18 tons (about 6,000–7,000 lbs) with lift ranges starting near 5.12 inches and reaching up to roughly 54 inches, depending on size. Use on stable footing, keep hands clear of the mechanism, and consider a base plate on soft ground for added stability.

It depends on your vehicle height, typical tasks, and storage needs.

• 60-inch: Offers the most reach—often around 52–54 inches max lift—helpful for taller bumpers, tractors, and off-road recovery.
• 48-inch: More compact and easier to store; many reach around 42 inches, which suits most trucks and SUVs.
• Capacity: Both sizes commonly fall near 3–3.18 tons; height doesn’t always change the rating.
• Ground conditions: A base plate can improve stability on sand, mud, or loose soil.

Match the jack’s lift range to your vehicle’s safe lift points and the tasks you do most. If space is tight, the 48-inch may be easier to carry; if you need extra height, the 60-inch offers more range.

With care and the right setup, a farm jack can help loosen posts.

1. Prep: Clear the area. Use a solid, level base to prevent sinking.
2. Attach: Wrap a rated chain/strap low on the post. Connect it to the jack’s lifting nose or an appropriate attachment.
3. Position: Place the jack upright next to the post with the base flat and stable.
4. Lift: Ratchet the handle slowly to apply upward force. Stand clear of the mechanism and keep bystanders away.
5. Finish: Once the post loosens, lower in a controlled manner and reposition as needed.

Soil conditions vary, so results can differ. A dedicated post-puller adapter and a wider base can improve stability and effectiveness.

Prices can vary based on size, build, and features. Factors that may affect cost include:

For current pricing, check the product pages on Walmart.com or the Walmart app. Availability, delivery, and pickup options can vary by location, and promotions may change over time.

Choose a size based on your vehicle height, typical tasks, and storage space.

• 33–36 inch: Handy for lighter-duty tasks, compact vehicles, and portability.
• 42–48 inch: A versatile sweet spot for many trucks and SUVs, with lift heights often around 36–42 inches.
• 60 inch: Extra reach for taller tractors or off-road recovery, with max lifts near 52–54 inches.
• Capacity & lift points: Match the rating to your load and use only structurally sound lift points.
• Ground conditions: Consider a base plate for soft surfaces.

Measure your typical lift height and think about storage in your vehicle or garage to find the best fit.
