west central Iowa
The best thing to get a broad base under the jack is an old disk blade with the center broken out or cut out. 22" or bigger blade spreads the load out and they don't sink in much. I have a 22" blade that caught a stump along a creek and broke out the center to a hole about the same size as the smaller dimension as the base of my biggest hydraulic jack. I welded a light chain to it for a handle and it almost always gets used when we have to jack up something on soft dirt. Couple tire truck guys made their own after using mine.
