Tractor Boom Pole Made from Scrap

- Boom poles are available at fairly reasonable prices, but why buy when you can build one?
We were able to re-purpose some scrap pipe and make something useful. It turned out pretty well, and has been used quite a bit.
6:30 - I am showing my wife this. She doesn't believe hording pays off. Wish me luck!
I don't have alot of tools to do this, but I spoke to some people...Turned out if I bought a 3pt pre-made Hitch frame, a welder knocked up a boom, stabiliser arms and support for me out of old stuff lying around box girder. I paid him £150 for half a days work , the Frame was £250...I spent another half day, grinding and cleaning it - £20 on prime - £20 on bright red paint. Thing is excellent, I have a strong loop it can hang a chain hoist, I can dead lift with the Tractor hydraulics, I've lifted an engine block, I've lowered pre-moulded 500kg (1000lb) concrete forms into a culvert. Thing is mega useful. Now I want to learn to weld and build this stuff myself amd save money.
Cheap reflexes save the day.
Sweaty palms and that tingling in the pocket at the checkout will never let you down.
haha, yep!
Awesome, this is my next project. Great job.
Cool, glad to hear!
I like your style. Thanks for the video.
Haha, thanks!
That’s pretty cool man. Nice job.
Thanks!
I like the Charger!
remember it doesn't cost anything to be cheap
Bad ass. Nice job.
Thanks man!
Nice car in the background
Haha thanks, never a shortage of projects!
Nice job. You work like I do. Yes hord all kinds of parts because you never know when it will be just what you need.
Thanks man! Yeah, having options when you're trying to build or repair something is a must.
Nice work! Looks like it works good.
Have used it a fair bit, still working like a champ.
Awesome job . I’d buy one 😎
haha, thanks!
Hey that’s pretty good. Nice job.
Thanks man!
Good evening sir
I WISH these were $150-250 in the UK. They are like £500-750 ($650-900!)
Nice job man!
Thanks!
Awesome! And if the tractor has a 12v outlet you can add a winch.
As long as it works and it don’t have to be purty.
Ain't that the truth!
What’s causing the lifting? Dna.
Nice
What happened to the little Kubota? Oh nice boom pole job.
It's still around!
Nice.
👍
I like the boom but the 100 thousand dollar charger is way cooler.
haha, I wish it was 100k...
Hi there. Great build. I notice you have the remote spool valve for the Ford. I'm looking to get one for my tractor but I currently have the single hose with the push pull tab. I also use this to lock the 3 point in place to keep the arms up. I'm wondering if I replace it with the spool valve will I still be able to do this and how does it operate in conjunction with the 3 point. I can't find answers anywhere on the web. Thanks
Hmm, not sure? My tractor had zero hydraulic remotes when I got it, that's the aftermarket kit I got. Is your valve mounted in the same spot? I've used my setup with brush hogs that only have one hose, it works fine for that.
The poor man's forks
Haha, pretty much!
Hey! Can I have that Charger? It looks like it needs a new home.😉
Haha, sorry.
Oh My God is that a freakin doge Charger. what year is it 68 or 69
i can't believe you did not scold him for rolling the lift pins on the rear deck.
Hi, nice video. You use US measurements. Would be nice to add on-screen converted meter/centimeter measurements. Thanks
Not a bad idea, will have to remember that next time I'm editing, thanks.
I'd be nice for YOU to learn inches!!!
2 kinds of countries. One kind uses the metric system. The other goes to the moon.
They're called "Freedom Units" Not US measurement. ;-)
I bought a boom pole at Tractor Supply for $150, and it’s painted. Unless your time has no value you can’t save money fabricating something this simple.
at sum time in the future i'm goin to make a liftin pole it'll all be made out of 4"×4"×3/8" thik steel tubing with sum 1"×4" steel flat bar welded to the sides of the square tubing and a 48" hydraulic cylinder to pik up the the liftin pole its goin to be one heavy ass tool all built by me no work from a metal shop
