As I get older l, working on the core is getting tougher. I can’t spend as much time on my knees to care for it and it is too heavy for me to lift it on to a work bench.
It would be great to have lift points on the core so I could use a hoist to assist.
Is there a suggested method for lifting a core?
@john.merten1 Removing the module and battery and putting the rover up on its side is how I do the track maintenance, and it’s a bit of a heave, but not bad. The snowblower can be a bit of a hassle to move around, but workable.
That’s me TODAY. I’m in my 7th decade, so what about a few years from now? Has it been your experience that even these basic maintenance/setup chores have started to become challenging?
Seen a few folks use a motorcycle lift. Similar to what cobra posted. Like Ken said most maintenance can be done with it on its side. Removing the heavy stuff really helps.
I should add that I jack this up to my large workbench table height and drive onto the workbench for accessing the tracks from the side.
I like @kmurray6113 front loader idea.
Still working on the wife to get one though…
I completely understand your needs in this type of maintenance scenario and truly appreciate your thoughtful suggestion. I also hope that our warm and supportive community has been able to offer you some helpful ideas or solutions for your current maintenance challenges.
