I need to buy a cherry picker and a engine stand for a tractor engine. I figured if Im going to buy these I should get some that will hold the 6.5. I just want to make sure I buy them that will hold the weight, I wouldnt want to see the engine hit the floor.

I believe thats right, a 12v cummins is around 1,100 lbs, can anyone back me up on that?

The smallest engine lift I can find is I think 1000k. And the smallest engine stand that I liked is 1000k. I dont like the crappy 3 wheeld ones.

Call a company the sells the engine and find out the shipping wieght and you will then know what size lift and stand you need.
