I could be wrong, but they look like the typical China jacks rebranded.

That Model RFJ2TX looks just like an AC Hydraulics jack though! Now the Chinese are copying the Danish.

You can get that jack from Toolgopher.com for $149.57 Shipping to Williston, SC would cost $8.99

I've bought from them a couple of times as they seem to have really good deals. And low shipping costs.

Purchased the Ranger RFJ2TX, made in China.... First one was defective and was returned, second one is GREAT! I use it on VW MKIV, Porsche 951, and Porsche 968 which all are lowered on coils, then used it for a '95 Landcruiser lift install. The main problem is that it's pricey, then second is the hump behind the saddle can limit it's placement. For the above cars I use a piece of wood to prevent undercarriage damage and to gain some clearance for the hump. I guess the last tidbit thing that I dislike is the plastic front wheels... I have an old craftsman 2.5t aluminum that leaks like a pig but was nice when it worked and this ranger replaced it for general duties. I also have an old chinese Torin 3t that I use as backup as well and leaks just as much as the craftsman...

The Ranger has yet to leak, the Omega and AFF seem like a higher tier of Chinese products so still might pick another one up. I do have a Torin 3.5t low profile but think one of the pumps went out since it's pretty slow now.... Eh, the construction is OK on the chinese stuff but I would pay more for better hydraulics or swap to a better hydraulic unit.

Theoretically if you could get the jack centered under your tractor it would still lift the entire tractor but your probably not gonna find yourself in that sitsuation. Instead i would estimate the lifting tonnage of what portion of your tractor your lifting, Front or Rear etc... Secondly there is no way in hell i would give $360 bucks for that jack, especially if i didnt require the low Profile lift point.
