i am a fairly good fabricator,being iam a matience machinist mechanic.i have a few ideas in my head to fab up a lifting boom . want boom to lift and move my 60"mmm when cleaning or storing.if any one has prints or sketches of boom would love to see your ideas!thanks

 

[Kennyd]

Like these? http://www.tractorsupply.com/countyline-reg-boom-pole-2128147

This is one of those things where it may not pay to build...unfortunatly. I also see them on CL all the time for cheap.

The thing I noticed about these booms is that they are not qh compatible. I guess that is because they tilt at a different rate when they aren't mounted with the standard spacing at the implement.

I bought this receiver hitch/weight bar as a package deal with my three point hitch for my old 425. I replaced the top link with a piece of square tube stock. It was cheap ($7), and handy. It doesn't have a great capacity, but it does have great range. Aren't the 60" MMM about 300lbs? Should be no problem for the jib pole.

Very Cool, Skier

Now that is a simple solution. I like it. :good2:

Here's mine. And as Kenny said, much cheaper to buy one than to build one.

I like it to, and that gives me alot of ideas...

I have built a short (1' to 2') telescoping lift arm that pins to the top link connection of my receiver hitch adaptor on my 3 pt.

If I were to build another lift arm of some kind, I think I would consider doing it more like the arm on a post hole digger works...........

Anyone done that on a cat 1 hitch ?

King Kutter has a nice heavy duty one that has caught my eye. Quick Hitch compatible to boot.

Wish I could find something like this in Canada.

I built this one with 2x4 tubing.

You did a good job i like it. I will be using some of your ideas.

 

[grnspot110]

I built this one for the 420 w/ rear hydraulics:

It can also be used with a second top link in place of the hydraulic cylinder:

I built this one with 2x4 tubing.

Thanks for the photos. Great job. This looks very functional, including how it can be disassembled for storage.

Do you think I could slide 2x4 tubing flat-wise over one of my artillian forks to achieve the same goal?
I don't need it to be built as heavy as yours since my 1 series wouldn't lift that much anyway. I'd like to support 100-120lb about 10ft from the loader pin...but the 10ft would mostly be upward, not so much "out in front" of the loader.

Boom pole on quick hitch

I bought mine at Tractor Supply for $129.00 & with a small modification & a bit of welding, it works fine.
Your can adjust the top link for higher lift if you need to or modify it to your needs. I tend to pull limbs & logs mostly with mine & use my bucket with "D" rings for lifting equipment to work on.
