Had a need to build an extension to my tractor loader in order to extend the reach out from the loader and to gain height over the bucket height. Used drill pipe and scrap plate.
Used primarily to set shop walls and trusses. Extended too height from 12' to 17'.ChrisAuction Addict
Reply:How much harder is this on the front axle/spindles? Id hate to be lifting something heavy and have that weight be multiplied by the length it sticks out equate to a broken piece of equipment or even worse injury. Looks good.Lincoln, ESAB, Thermal Dynamics, Victor, Miller, Dewalt, Makita, Kalamzoo. Hand tools, power tools, welding and cutting tools.
Reply:You do have to watch the load limits. I am only lifting 100lbs. to 200lbs for walls and trusses. The tractor in the pic is a Farmall M. I now have a Massey 1100. Tractor will lift 1600lbs at the loader. Axles are the weak point using an extended lift point.Last edited by milomilo; 2 Days Ago at 03:29 PM.ChrisAuction Addict

Reply:Here is one of the reasons I have two tubes,, I built this chicken coop in the shed, then moved it with the extensions.That coop is 12X16 feet,,IIRC,,That was a "while" ago,, behind the coop was our functional "C" Band satellite dish,,AND, the frame that the coop sets on was welded using my then owned Miller Bobcat.

Reply:Ah there’s the pictures of your tractor boom, I have something like that made when I took the grain bins down except the base was 6 inch channel iron about 3’ long and 2.875” pipe is 10’ long with half inch plate of iron welded to it like a flag on the end with a hole big enough to hook a chain hoist on it and a link of half inch chain on backside for support chain or strap to hook on to. I need to unload it but I have 3 of them made.

Reply:Those things are behemoths. Those rear fenders look about like the ones that came on the wheelhorse D250. Nice GT btw. With no engine in the front I can see having and using a front end loader on that with ease. Does it have power steering?I have an F935 JD that has the roll bar and hard canopy which I have considered puting on a garden tractor. Not sure I want to butcher the f935 just yet. If I ever move out of the city to the country and get a decent size lot the 72” mower on the f935 will come in handy.Last edited by N2 Welding; 1 Day Ago at 12:15 PM.Lincoln, ESAB, Thermal Dynamics, Victor, Miller, Dewalt, Makita, Kalamzoo.

Yea, it has power steering, and hydraulic lift for the mower.The "2 clutch" transmission means no shifting, just rock the foot pedal for forward and reverse.

I'm not familiar with the Massey. Likely the lift will be restricted by your pressure relief, but be quite careful with uneven terrain & sudden maneuvers with all that leverage.
Reply:I broke a 4020 spindle ( a lot heftier than what you are working with) pushing out rocks with a blade. The good news is that it made a great rounded pounding post on my upright anvil.

Reply:Imagine trying to do all this without power steering on a backhoe with a loader, its what I have been fighting each rock and dirt load. Makes it hard to accurately line up on anything, especially with a boom on it. Hopefully after my pole barn is done I can get power steering on mine, I got a spare just need time and place to do it.
