The closest thing we have to a farm store around here is Tractor Supply. The
reviews on their "Big Red" 3 ton jack are poor at best. I've had very bad lucky
buying tools there anyway, the worst pair of vicelocks I've ever had came from
there. I bought a high lift jack there two years ago and while its adequate
nobody would call it good. Sadly you can buy a "real" HiLift jack from Amazon
for about the same money.
My rule is now "No tools from TSC" and after I bought potting soil there that
killed everything it touched "No gardening supplies from TSC" which is sad
because I bought one of the best pairs of hiking boots I've ever had the first
time I ever went to a TSC. They were Colombia brand which TSC stopped carrying
shortly after.
The only thing I buy at TSC now is bolts since they're by the pound.

Curt,
This is the jack I have two of.
http://www.fleetfarm.com/detail/larin-3-ton-floor-jack/0000000036087
These are very good, but don't cost $500. Well worth the $100 plus
freight. The paint is different on this one. Both of mine are
orange. Oh, and I was wrong at 60 lb. This website says 83 lb.
Check your local farm stores.
With 2, I can jack up both sides at once, or front and back at once.
Some of the jacks HF sells now are the same as crapsman, but without
as big of a price. Beware! Those are crappy jacks. The HF racing
jacks are reported to be good for the money.
20% off coupon for HF at HarborFreight.com They had a 25% off coupon
for last thurs.
