Excavator Extension Jib

admin

I am looking to have somebody fab something like this up for me to mount my auger drive to my excavator . I have talk to few attachment makers and there not interested because of it one off design. I had two local shops give me a quote but they cannot make like the pic with a bend they want use 10x6 box section and miter at a 45 and weld. What do you guys think? What do you think it would cost.
