    Craftsman Electric Assist Kit is just what I needed May 04, 2010

    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. Now I look for reasons to use them.

    It's expensive in my opinion but it's very well constructed and comes with everything you need for installation. (Fortunately, I found a gently used one for about half price.)The most difficult part of the install was figuring out how/where to route the power and control cable from the engine compartment to the sleeve hitch.

    Electric Assist Kit May 31, 2011

    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 !!

    Pricey but worth the price !!!! June 20, 2011
    By Bruce0777 of Sanford, NC
    Pros:
    Complete with wiring harness,Makes sleeve hitch use a breeze,Sturdy,durable

    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 apply 400 pounds lift and push down pressure might be slightly more. Very Impressive with wheel weights

    Electric Sleeve Hitch Lift May 12, 2010
    By adamsrib of Lake Charles, LA
    Pros:
    Complete with wiring harness,Makes sleeve hitch use a breeze,Sturdy

    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.
