C02 vs. Electric Jack?

[SpeedUTVForum]

I noticed all of the UTVs being delivered with a jack purchased the electric jack, any reason not to go with the C02?

The C02 jacks being sold at the SSSS came in a case and I did not see a case left with the UTVs being delivered that the electric jack could be stored in.

Other than not needing to carry a C02 tank how is one better than the other, or does it even matter?

several cars had the CO2 jack. I originally ordered mine with the CO2 but just changed it to the manual. I have the C02 for my Can Am so i figured i would try something different. They all work but figured the manual will always work regardless of c02 or having a battery

That’s a good point, did you purchase with Speed or third party? Were the C02 mounted above the spare tire? Guess I wasn’t really looking very close.

went with the speed because i believe when you do order the jack from them they install the tabs on the arms for the jack. . AGM jack is the same

I went with the manual Jack for the 3000lb capacity and weighs 11lbs vs 17lbs

I will be using the JackDaddy.
Offroading, I don't like to have anything that could be effected by dirt.

When you need a Jack, it has to work. Call me old school, but it’s really, really, really hard to beat the practicality of a high-lift.

That's what is in my truck, don't go offroading without it, which they would make one in size appropriate for a UTV.
Or a VW beetle jack with a longer rod.

we had a different brand co2 jack for our 7200 truck and I had to get rid of it for the safety of my crew. It was unmetered and just shot up as soon as the pressure was applied. If anyone had their hand in the way it would take it out. luckily we did not have to learn that lesson the hard way. I would want to see the Speed one in action before I would even consider it.

You can cut one down in size. I believe they come as small as 36”.

I have been looking at the AGM jacks for quite some time now. They are awesome and seem to really hold up. I spoke with AGM last year and they said you can only get the bolted on lifting tabs from SPEED. AGM does make the jacks for SPEED. My only hard decision is battery or manual jack? First world problems

Yes, it is a heavy duty 7000lbs unit (just a shorter beam) looks great for farm work or a recovery vehicle.
I think I stay with my lightweight JackDaddy for the UTV.

I like high lifts due to “extra” abilities, such as basic hand winch.

Same here, and for my truck and utility work anywhere I will not go without it.
But for playing with my UTV I would prefer something around the 2000lbs capacity.
Unless I was using it for farm work.

The Pro Eagle CO2 jack is nice, but you better carry several cartridges with you. If you have a flat it can be difficult to get it under the arm so you can jack up the car. The AMG jack (Speed jack) is a much better option if you can swing the price and have room for it. You can basically lift the car from just about everywhere.

I ordered the electric AGM after watching the video of the guy righting his car that was on it's hood back on to the rubber side completely by himself. Being a guy in a chair that is invaluable to me. I also ordered the additional hook accessory from AGM

AGM is the way to go. I'm really stuck deciding between the battery electric jack or the manual jack.

Thanks. I might have to pick one of these up. I have a hi-lift jack but it scares the crap out of every time I have to use it. Feels like a ticking time bomb. I never had an issue but have seen some crazy things that people were lucky no one got hurt. If you miss one click watch out.
