This is an old thread but I still use the boom that I built 11 years ago. Zero problems with the tractor or the boom. Lots of use on both.
Enjoy your tractors. I enjoy using mine and I'll be 85 next month.

Just got my new Massey Ferguson GC2400 L. Looking forward to a lot of good information on this site.
I enjoy building things in my little hobby shop so I think I will start with a 5 ft. bucket mounted boom
to save my 73 year old back.
Nice to be here.
