You will need a good quality hydraulic jack of some kind with a weight rating at least as high as the weight of the tractor. If you're not sure, a 12-ton jack should lift nearly anything. If it is a bottle jack, you will need a set of good, solid, large wooden blocks to set the jack on. Park the tractor on a solid, level area, preferably a concrete pad. Be positive the tractor has the parking brake set, chock the wheels, and place the jack on enough blocks to get it up to the axle you wish to lift. Under no circumstances should you get under the tractor until it is safely back on the ground, and allow no others to do so, either. Children should not be allowed anywhere in the area.

Be aware that automotive jacks and ramps are insufficient to hold the weight of most farm tractors. The smallest tractors weigh as much as the largest modern cars.
