| I don't think I could install one because of the weight and don't forget it has to be wired in so a little electrical knowledge would be necessary. I just priced one when I had my brakes replaced. They told me between $1200 and $1400. Installation was not mentioned. I decided a little grease and I could crank for a long time. |

Location: Armuchee, GA, NW section of Ga | Me me. I bought a new to me 2008 Keifer Evolution 3 horse slant LQ about 3 years Ago. It had the hand crank and At my age, 60, it wAs slow going. Oh yea, i could do it, wasnt difficult but it took awhile. So DH had one installed at a local shop, and it works great. And just in case it failed, the manual crank is still there too. Makes life so much easier. I will have to check the brand, but it cost about 1000-1200 installed. |

Location: Freestone TX | I had mine installed over 10 years ago and other than replacing the battery that powers it, it has never failed me. It does not have a brand name on it. The cost was around $1000 back then. It does make a lot more noise than the hydralic one on my LQ, and it is slower than the hydralic. |

Location: Desert Land | I had a 3h Platinum but not sure on weight. There's a really good trailer guy near me and I took it to him and told him I wanted an electric jack and he ordered the parts and installed. The first 1 he installed wasn't quite right for my trailer. On a flat surface it was working OK, but when I got home and parked it (on a grade) it couldn't handle it so I had to take it back to him and he installed a different jack (no additional cost to me) and it was AWESOME. I will never go without an electric jack again. I just ordered a new Logan trailer about 10 months ago and had them put a jack on it. I'll have to look and see what the brand is that is on it. |

Location: Texas!! | I had a Bigfoot jack installed on my 3 horse 8 ft short wall. It cost me a little over $900 at the trailer place. It is a little slower than the dual jacks that came on my bigger trailer, but I don't mind at all. I will never be without one again! Lol! Best money I ever spent! |
