By the way, one bit of info I can add is that the heaviest thing I've lifted so far is a big chunk of concrete that I loaded onto my trailer. I have about 70lbs of weight on the front and I had trouble keeping the front end on the ground when I was moving it to the trailer. So, I think I can assume the front end of the tractor will come up before the boom pole breaks - if I don't make any sudden moves. The boom pole is rated at 1000lbs. Unfortunately, I don't know what that concrete chunk weighs. I took it to the dump and slid it off the back of my tilt bed trailer.
