Being lazy as I am I keep wondering every time I start winding down my stablizers if there's anything made battery run to do it for me, and I don't mean taking a battery operated drill and socket with me either.

I've heard of hydraulic levelling jacks that can be fitted to each corner of the vehicle. Dunno how much they cost... I'm guessing not cheap but depending on just how much you dislike hand winding they might be what you desire! :thumb:

Have you tried using the van without bothering with the corner steadies? I used mine a couple of times then didn't bother - and can't say I noticed any difference. Am currently on Exeter Racecourse where it is always windy, and with a strong westerly wind hitting the van side on. Slight rocking with gusts otherwise not noticeable. Van is quite low, tag axle with no excessive rear overhang. Previous van was higher, still a tag but with a bit more overhang - corner steadies seemed to have a bit more of an effect with that one. :Smile:

As a previous poster said if you have to uses them.......get an extended socket and a rechargeable drill that has a bit of welly. A bit of grease on them now and again also helps.

My van is always as level as the ground below it, my legs do any necessary compensation.

I'd forget I had these down, drive off and plough the field ready for seeding

Why not battery drill and socket...??

Hi wives dad I think it's the best way to go it wa just that I didn't want to tie up one of my good quality drills for such a miner thing but someone just told me to use a cheap one after looking round I never realised they were so cheap I found one for seven pounds. Thanks
