High-Reach Front-End Boom
 ✖  |
"It lets me move round bale feeders around without leaving the tractor seat. It also works great for lifting engines out of cars and pulling fence posts," says Wayne Richards, Hope, N. Dak., about the front-end boom he built out of scrap steel for his David Brown 1210 tractor.
The boom consists of a single arm that's hinged to a steel frame by a single 3/4-in. dia. steel pin. The frame, which bolts onto the tractor, is made from 3 by 5-in. tubing. The boom is made from the hitch off an old junked Oliver baler and is raised or lowered by a 12-in. stroke, 2-in. dia. cylinder off a junked Case 1060 combine. The end of the boom is equipped with a pair of hooks 32 in. apart to lift round bale feeders.
"It has an amazing amount of power and saves a lot of work," says Richards. "I've used it for eight years now with no problems. My son Dale helped me build it."
