Boom Tractor Built On Frame Of 1963 Chevy 2-Ton Truck Frame
 ✖  |
I built this boom tractor on the frame of a 1963 Chevy 2-ton truck frame. It's powered by a 350 cu. in. engine and automatic transmission. The boom is made out of 7-in. sq., 1/4-in. wall steel tubing with a telescoping length of 6-in. sq. tubing inside. The lift cylinders are the same ones used on the truck's original 3-stage twin cylinder hoist. The photo shows it lifting an 8-row corn head but it'll lift corn heads up to 12 rows wide. We use it almost every day at my father's implement business (Harv's Supply).
I do almost all my own repairs on my equipment which includes three large tractors, three small yard tractors, thirteen irrigation power units, four pickups, eight farm trucks, three hopper trailers, two combines, seven combine headers, and more. I save more money by making my own repairs than I could ever make at a part time, or even a full-time, job in town. (Brian Bish, 304 W4 Rd., Giltner, Neb. 68841)
