When deciding between a manual or electric implement lift from Black Boar for your ATV or UTV, there are several factors to consider.
Manual Implement Lift
Pros
- More affordable option
- Simple design with fewer components that could potentially fail
- No reliance on electrical systems
- Difficult to raise and lower, especially with heavier implements
- Requires more physical effort to operate
- May need to stop and adjust frequently, which can be inconvenient
Electric Implement Lift
Pros- Easier to operate with one-touch control
- More convenient for frequent raising and lowering of implements
- Works well with various ATV/UTV models, such as the Polaris Ranger 570
- Reduces physical strain on the user
- More expensive than the manual option
- Relies on electrical systems, which could potentially fail
- May require occasional maintenance of electrical components
Recommendation
If you can afford it, the electric implement lift is generally the better choice for most users. It offers greater convenience and ease of use, especially when working with heavier implements or when you need to frequently adjust the lift height. The electric lift system has received positive feedback from users, with reports of it working very well without issues.
However, if you're on a tight budget or prefer a simpler mechanical system, the manual lift can still be a viable option. Just be prepared for more physical effort when operating it, particularly when raising heavier implements. Ultimately, your choice should depend on:
- Your budget
- The frequency of use
- The types and weights of implements you plan to use
- Your physical capabilities and preferences
