Jungle Jack Review with TORO TITAN and Ferris Z3X - DON’T Do It This Way! Do it THIS way instead!
There’s a CORRECT way to do it and an incorrect way to do it. Learn from my rookie Jungle Jack mistakes lol.
Hope you all enjoy the video and find it helpful!
Do you have the Jungle Jack?

![Super Jack V2 Review [UNSPONSORED REVIEW]](/img/n.gif)
If you watch the UA-cam video the company made about the Jungle Jack it tells you to remove the pin and lower the safety arm until it's on the ground...then insert the pin into the other hole...THEN raise the mower. The printed instructions tell you to use it only on concrete or hard surfaces, not on a lawn. It also says never to put your head under the mower without jack stands in place, and sure as heck not on grass. Be careful dude. Don't lose your head.
Thanks for the tips!
Yeah forst thing came to mind... this guy didn't read the instructions and makes a video 😂
Huh? I don't see how the jack can work if you pin the safety arm down first. You have to jack and then pin. The man's problem was using it on soft ground. He figured it out in the shop. Jack then pin.
I think the pin line up issue is small tires sinking in. I bet if had a small piece of 1/4" plywood would emininate sink & make jack easier.
Maybe they need to go to wider tires for grass use.
I owned a Jungle Jack for a while and thoroughly enjoyed it! Very quick and easy way to lift mowers!
I’ve been using it more and more. So easy with the sit down riders. Take a little bit more muscle with the Z3 though. You can line up all your mowers and lift one, then the other without having to move them all around. It’s nice! Thanks for watching man! 👍
The Lawn Care Life in Mowssouri you got it man! I’m going to catch up on some more of your content! I’ve been missing out the last few years not being in the UA-cam scene.
It’s all good man. I lived on IG and never really watched UA-cam. But I’m going to do the same - play catch up.
Good to hear. Going to order one today.
Very good point about the holes lining up on the jungle Jim Jack so that the safety pin can be installed. Thank you. It would have been helpful to tell us how much force you had to exert to lift each machine and to comment on its degree of difficulty.
I had to exert a lot of force to get the Z3X up. But the Toro Titan was really easy because all of the weight (engine) is in the back. I really wouldn’t recommend for a stander mower. A lot easier on a sit down mower. Hope that helps! 👍
@@TheLawnCareLifeinMowssouri I have a 36 inch gravely walk behind commercial mower. I can't risk buying this lift and not knowing whether or not the holes will line up. It's expensive and I'm just not going to risk it. Thank you for your review and advice, very helpful. Take care.
Ah bro! i have a jungle jack also, along with a z3x. I cant get mine to lift at all. But watching you do it maybe Ive been doing it wrong. I did reach out to the company just last week and they responded back with changing out the 2" tooth that came with the jack and replacing it with their 3" tooth. I dont think they even know if it will work or not. only time will tell. Keep up the great video content and rock on!
Thanks for watching! What kind of issues were you having with your Jungle Jack? Would it not stay on the deck? Was it slipping off? Where did you try to lift the mower at? Any info would help out!
It might be better on a flat concrete surface. Great review!!!
Absolutely! A lot better on a flat surface. Thanks for watching!
Great review cameron , jungle jim does make some good stuff at reasonable prices 👍👊🇺🇲💯
Thanks a lot! I’ve always loved their trimmer racks, so thought I would try out the Jungle Jack. Impressive that it can lift a heavy machine with ease. 💪
If you want excellent access, back the mower up some auto ramps. The Jungle Jack will then lift the front and there will be lots of access to inspect the transmission and any idler pulleys or mud caked on the transmission, keeping it form proper cooling. Nobody wants to buy a new mower ahead of schedule because they didn't get a good look see before things went south.
Great video as always! Need another video with your cousin who I thought was you 🤣🤣🤣
Thank you! I appreciate that. 👍. Yeah, I need to get Cousin Chris to swing back by again. There’s no telling what kind of mess he would have the Jungle Jack in 🤣
I am quite intrigued with that jack for my residential ZTR. However, I have a concern that you may be able to answer. That fold down assist-step seems quite high. I'm in my mid-60's with arthritic knees. You seem to have to step really high to reach that pedal. I'm not sure I could do it.
Yes sir. It is pretty high. I would have to measure to see how high it is off the ground. If mobility is good, I don’t think you will have any issues. If you can bend your knees enough and lift your leg to the 3rd step (skipping the 2nd step), I think you would be able to use this lift. Hope that helps some.
I pick my 52” Scag Tiger Cat 2 with the parking brake on with no effort
Might work better on a hard surface vs the grass. We have a jungle jack for our scag and exmark. Just finished the video so guess it worked.
Absolutely! Way better on hard surfaces lol. Does it work pretty good on the Scag and Exmark? Work better on one or the other? Appreciate you watching!
The Lawn Care Life in Mowssouri Works great on both mowers. Took me a bit to assemble also. Should have had my wife do it, she is much better at following directions.
Haha yes! Same here with the assembly. I’m too impatient and ready to try it out lol. That’s good to know. Thanks for the feedback.
I bought the Titan and I hate the parking break
How can I bypass the kill switch ?
You don’t like how you have to put Brake on to keep engine from dying when getting off the mower?
Nice review. Pretty sweet little jack.
Thanks a lot! Appreciate you watching. What mower could you use this on?
Hey just got this jack. We’re do you recommend the deck at the beginning if you said that I apologize I didn’t hear it. Do you have the deck all the way up or all the way down or it doesn’t matter??? Thanks
looks like a cool tool but its a 'one trick pony', i'll stick with my hi-lift jack which pulls posts, winches and about a hundred other things. i'd never crawl under with ANY of the jacks out there tho. jack stands or 4x4 back up to any jack for me
Definitely recommend putting car ramps or blocks under the tires if you’re going to be completely underneath for any reason. Works great for swapping out blades real quick tho.
Orange stripes on floor is a good idea too!
Best thing we did in the shop to get everything backed in and lined up straight! 👍

Yep, we have issues when it’s raining seeing in side view mirrors. Great idea!
Oh yeah. Or that blinding sun!
How many hours do you currently have on the titan. Like the design just don’t know about the house brand engine
Under 50 hours. Everyone says they are really good engines. Personally, this is my first Toro engine. So far so good!
engine is a Lincon engine, very heavy duty. no, it isn't a honda motor but every bit as good as a kaw or kohler.
On any lift ,you need a solid base surface not a grassy ground, you wouldn't put a car jack under a car that way this is not any different.
Solid tip right there!
Doesn’t harm the deck pushing up into the mower frame?
No, it is designed to lift the mower up.
Using this in the grass is a VERY POOR idea
Instructions actually state this.
Definitely agree! 💯
I never use the safety thing its never fallin in 5 years
Better be careful under there Tony. I know you can bench the mower off, but don’t test it.
Your problem is that you are trying the jack on the soft ground, causing the wheels to digg in the ground. That in turn limits an angle that the security arm was design to travel. Looks that the Jungle Jack was design (and rightfullt so) to be used on a solid base like a garage floor. Using the jack on a soft ground create risk of loss of stability, and IMO is not safe and not recommended.
absolutely! 💯
I use jacks and jack stands on grass but always use 3/8 steel plate under jack, and 2 X 8 wood under both jack stands…so 1jack and 2 jack stands. I have a Ferris Z3X 52” stander, very heavy and difficult to scrape and change blades. Thanks / Jim
When doing this is grass jungle jack wheels will sink due to weight of mower, making the holes to misalign, but I'm sure you already knew that.
Yup! Wish it had air filled tires. It would probably help in the grass.
Good video. Thank you for sharing.
Freeport, thanks for watching! I appreciate it. Have a blessed day!
Lift it on a hard surface
U have foot assistance in wrong hole goes on bottom hole
Oh ok
Obvious, wheels sinking into sod. Use on a hard surface! You need to call Mr Obvious.
Great insight!
Hard surface works 10x better
Absolutely!!!
Try on a hard surface
Works way better on concrete.
Ohhhhhhhhh yeah! 👍
I have Toro ZMaster 4000 with 48" deck. Recently picked up the Jungle Jack. Seems the 2"hook might be a bit too small. Is this in fact the case? Do I need to purchase the larger hook?
I'm really not sure. I think when I bought mine there was only one option. That may have changed now. I would contact them directly and see which one they recommend. I don't want to steer you in the wrong direction on this one.
Step one.... NEVER USE THIS JACK ON THE LAWN...THE GROUND SINKS. USE ON SOLID SURFACE,CONCRETE, WOOD SHED FLOOR.ECT. NEVER USE ON LAWN SURFACE. Dont jack your car up on the lawn eighther...same reason.
Definitely agree! Thanks for watching. 👍
I'm glad to see that work on the Z3X, I use a chain hoist at home but I don't have a way to do it in the field.
It may be a little tricky in the field unless you have a concrete driveway to put the Jungle Jack on. But yeah it works good out in the field. Takes up little space in the box truck! 👍
@@TheLawnCareLifeinMowssouri
If there's not a hard surface for the Jack wheels, I pull the front of the mower on the ramp.
Got to work around the ramp cables but that's not bad.
Hey bud, yeah I have Ballard's super Jack at home but I'd like to add the Jungle Jack for the field. Ballard's is wide and bulky for Mobile use.
Gary Cecil Garrison Thanks for sharing. Never tried that particular one, but that’s good to know!
RTFM, and NEVER jack your mower in the grass, unless you prefer to look stupid.
Yeah, never do that trick with this one.
How will it do on a 61 Scag Vride
Very similar mowers so probably the same as Z3
Ive had my jungle jack for 5 years ! Great product
Nice! Definitely handy to carry around and use!
Use a drift pin
Ok
Great video hope you and your family are staying safe.
Logan Simpson Thank you! Appreciate you watching. We are doing great here in Mowssouri! Hope the same for you all!
