Ya. Interesting idea. Stump don't weigh no 3500lbs though (IMHO).

I agree no where near 3500 lbs. if it was that boom pole would have crumbled.

I have to agree, was thinking the exact same thing.
Neat little pig pole however.

Agree, but 1st pic may

Stump may weigh 500 lbs but no way does it have 3000# of dirt in the first one. Not even a 120 HP utility tractor would lift 3500# at the end of a 9 foot boom pole even if the boom had the strength to lift that amount. Typical Craigslist exaggeration.

Wrong. My 75HP tractor will lift about 3000# at the end of a 108" boompole with the 3ph. ... #75

The lift on the boompole shown is not done by the 3ph, which only holds it. The lift is done using a separate hyd cyl.

,,,My tractor loader will lift 2 tons to full height. A stump as shown, even with dirt, would be no problem, but appearances of ~ 500 are grossly deceptive.

I'd guess the stump is closer to 1000 pounds. I think $800 is way too high too.

This boom pole is different enough to post the pictures for future readers, after the craigslist ad is gone:

I like all kinds of tools and some folks would say I have too many... but I just can't figure a way this device would add any kind of value to me as I already have a heavy duty, square tube boom pole with no hydraulics. Seems like an implement seeking a specialized purpose.
