Bought a JD 790 with FEL a couple months ago and have thoughts about my scoop pan and boom pole. I'm thinking now that I have a FEL that can do the work of both, I might just as well sell the boom pole and scoop pan. How about you folks? Does anyone with a tractor having a FEL still need a (or find use) for both of those attachments?? If you do, is it often or do you just use these two occasionally now??? I can see an advantage that the scoop pan would have over a FEL and that would be the ability to get into a narrow spot that a 4/5ft bucket can't get into. I can't see any advantage that the boom pole would have over a FEL other than the load would be behind you and not obstructing vision as you are driving forward. Of course, the weight carrying capacity of the boom pole is less than the FEL so that's another knock against it. Your thoughts???
