I have a 3 pt. plate for my bobcat and 3 pt.boom which I got whit my 9N, it's very handy ...
In one of the picture I replace the pump for my water well , in the other two I am installing the main been for the floor .
Depends on what ya need to lift. The 3pt will lift more weight than the loader but not as high. The loader will lift higher but not as much weight. I made this for my bucket for picking up stuff.
I used my boom pole to take my boxblade out of the back of my van. When I bought it it took four men to load it and I removed it myself with the boom pole. With tight quarters I could not have gotted it out with FEL and it was too heavy to remove manually by myself. Worked very slick.
