Ladder, Boom Mount On Front-End Loader

Most 86-year-olds aren't out looking for a way to climb higher than an extension ladder, but Charlie Prickett isn't

Just came across this. I ain't 86 yet so I have time to build one and trim some more tall trees ?? Or at least tie a cable up high. I don't think it is OSHA approved

Statistically, meth may be a safer way to get high.

 

[VroomVroom]

Lol.

Gee, just think what I could on the V417:

I do not know if MONKEYRACK is still in production in Bradenton, Florida but this design is much safer.

Any of the hydraulic lines on a Loader is subject to rupture without notice.

 

[VroomVroom]

That’s too safe. Prefer a little danger myself. Keeps the blood pumping.

Nice idea. Saw the picture! bad idea! I'm 77 looking forward something. I wouldn't climb that ladder with your feet, much less mine! HA! I don't know if meth would take you that high, but maybe safer and more times, even though you might not remember it! LOL

Makes me proud. I thought using my dump trailer for a high lift was maybe not safe for a 70 yr old. I had to fab the inside of the front to have something level to stand on when it was all the way up. With the dump raised and a pole saw I could reach 25 ft easy, maybe a little more. What you have to do when you not rich. LOL

I think that is a good plan. I use the tractor bucket and a pole saw also. Keeps the high stuff trimmed.

This is a good idea until the wife wants to borrow the truck and does not see you up there.

So how about this thing on the 2" receiver on your forks.... Hmmm
(no. Don't.)

Wow. I had contemplated putting my ladder on the ground but using the loader merely to lean it against, and rejected the idea as being too uncaring toward my heirs. Now I'm thinking I should put it in the bucket with guys to the canopy, and carry rocks to throw at the hydraulic controls.

On occasion, I'll use the FEL bucket to stabilize a ladder, which is set up in the usual way on the ground. I tie the ladder to the side of the bucket to keep it from sliding sideways.

I gotta give a nod to the payloader/manlift combo. That's ingenious!

I've been known to use the bucket on the ground as a flat, level, solid spot for the base of the ladder.

 

[Gordon Gould]

I'm not as adventuresome as some of the setups above but I like to use my CarryAll and TnT to make a level base for the ladders on uneven ground.

This is how I got up on the roof last time, the rolling blue ladder:

I’ve done a similar setup.

I did this exact thing once with a step ladder and an articulating loader when I was working as an electrician for the state 30 years ago. Needed to change a light bulb on the boat ramp and couldn't reach it otherwise. Put the ladder in the bucket, tied it to the pole, and lifted it up. Then shimmied up the loader into the bucket and climbed the ladder. It worked well. LOL
