Tractor Boom Ladder

Tractor Boom Ladder TRACTORS Accessories 28-6-29 "I couldn't figure out how I was going to redo the roof on my barn," says James Williams from Pontotoc, Miss. who got the job done by putting a ladder on top of his 1950 model DC Case front end boom. "I'm at the age that climbing ladders is not completely a no-no, but at the age that being very, very careful is a must," he says. The homemade wooden ladder, has 40-in. wide rungs and is 21 ft. long when extended. It will reach the top of almost any farm building or shed. About 3 1/2 ft. down the ladder, he put stops on it to hold large sheets of roofing so they don't slide down. The ladder attaches to the boom with U bolts. All Williams does is drive up to the shed with the ladder attached, rest it against the roof, and climb on. "The ladder will not slip, fall over backwards, or turn over on its side," says Williams.
