I have been using this for quite some time, but just recently to pick up logs... it works great, better than a floor or railroad jack, because I can just roll the log onto it with a cant hook, and put a 1/2" lag through each of the hooks used to hold a motorcycle to it. The log doesn't budge after that, and I have lifted One end of 12ft x 34" Green oak logs with it.
The 2 ton rating is highly conservative IMO, that log weighed 4700 lbs in boards once milled, and I have jacked my work 550 with a full load of wood to change a tire.
1.5 tons Seasoned fits easily in the 550, which weighs 9800 empty.
Edit; it also allows for a steel bar to lock it in the full upright position, so I don't have to worry about accidentally releasing or lowering the jack while working. Or sag.
