No. I bought it cheap as NOS (New Old Stock) as it had been sitting at a tractor supply yard for what appeared to be years. Took it home and sanded and painted it Cat yellow. I have it strictly to use in case nothing else will work. I highly prefer to lift and carry things by the FEL with the bucket hooks I added and chains or with the rock grapple bucket.

I think a boom pole like mine or the one this thread is about is far better suited for a full size Cat 2 tractor weighing 10k+ pounds and not my Cat 1 tractor.
