“Craftsman Electric Assist Kit is just what I needed”

This Electric Lift Kit has really enhanced the seat time on my Craftsman Professional Garden Tractor. With my bad back, you might even say it's just what the doctor ordered to relieve the stresses on my back when using a manual sleeve hitch. I used to find excuses to not use my sleeve hitch implements....

“Electric Assist Kit”

It is easy to install and once installed its ready to work. Its sturdy and realy enhances the ground engaging hitch. But, it is very expensive and hard to get support for. I put mine on in March 2009. The switch failed this weekend and the parts are not listed. The complete kit is listed at $449.00 !!... read full review »

“Electric Sleeve Hitch Lift”

This is a life saver, the manuel one with the single arm lift is a man killer, with this lifting the hitch is such a breeze.  Couldn't operate without it.

“Pricey but worth the price !!!!”

When I first seen this a few years back I was reluctant to wanna pay the what seemed to be high price. After reading the great reviews of how easy it was to use and how it made a rough job effortless, I bought it. The Install was pretty easy. I installed it on a dual wheel 20 HP cub cadet with 300 pounds of suitcase weights for a lot of traction on the tractor itself. . I mostly use it for with the box blade (also sears). Over and over because of the great down pressure it will nearly fill the box blade with dirt and carry it to where you want it. Turns a hard job into fun again. I think it will...

“works great”

The electric lift works great and has alot more lifting power then I had imagined.The only problem I found with this unit was there needs to be more pin holes for higher levels of raising attachments.I solved this problem by taking a piece of flat steel drilling more holes in it an attaching it to the sleeve hitch where the lift would attach.

“Ahhhh, the ease of it....”

No more twisting around in the seat and trying to lift an attachment by hand. No more shoulder pain. Worth the money.

“Electric Assist Kit”

If you have accessories, Box Scraper, Rake ect. This is one product that you really need. This will save you the aches and pains from the manual lifting sleve hitch. I started with the manual lift and after 5-6 months I upgraded . I have to say that the the electric assist is Great. I would have given this product 5 stars, but its only down fall is that the hitch sleve has to be fully removed in order to use the tractor for other accessories, such as pulling a trailer or other pull attachments. If you have any ground engaging equiprment requiring a hitch sleve, spend the extra bucks for the electic... read full review »
