What do you use to jack up a skidsteer? I have a 2 ton floor jack that works ok on smaller machines but wont lift a larger one. I have a short bottle jack, but it doesnt have much travel. I was thinking of finding one of those old mechanical railroad jacks. They have a lot of travel but can still pick close the the ground.

I use a 20-ton air-over-hydraulic jack from Harbor Freight---$90 on sale. When a jack isn't around -I've used a chunk of log in the rear under the machine and used the bucket to lift the whole machine up. Not the best thing to do, but it works
