Boat Jack Mounts On Grader Hitch
We love simple ideas, especially when they save backs and time. That was Maurice Helmka’s goal when he purchased a $25 boat trailer jack for the grader he uses to level his driveway.
  “I back up the tractor, crank up the grader to the arms of the 3-pt. hitch and there’s no lifting or back work involved,” Helmka says.
  The bracket for the jack tightens with bolts on the grader’s hitch without drilling or welding, and the swing back design allows the jack to be stored horizontally when not in use.
  “Another trick is that I put the blade on 4x4s and the wheel of the jack on a wood platform when I store it, so it pivots back and forth easily to line up with the tractor’s 3-pt. hitch,” Helmka adds.
