I have used what looks to me like an identical atv jack (below) from canadian tire (we don’t have HF up here) with no issues, worked great. You will also need a regular jack under the transmission for stability. I had no problems rolling the assembly around.

Three tips:

1. Build a cradle out of wood to catch the engine on the jack, otherwise it will be too tippy to be safe.

2. Don’t put the jack too far forward under the engine, or when you go to lower it from the raised engine drop position the muffler will get stuck on the safety bar.

3. When you roll the assembly around, rotate the 2nd regular jack holding the transmission so its wheels are aligned with the direction of motion.

Have fun with your engine R&R, remember to post the requisite head in engine bay photo.
