Great Mod. Nice job adapting it to the 3pt. Here is one I bought cheap very similar to yours. I was as well thinking of wheels but mine has support feet which are great for storing and support when lifting. When I added the hydraulic top link it made it even more versatile.

Well I have to say that is a very nice crane. Now I see the need for a longer piston and Remote hydraulics :thumbsup: Nice job

Thanks,

When I saw it, it was just too good to resist.

Haven't used it a lot yet, but sometimes to drop something into a tight spot its handy. I still haven't check what weight it can handle. I like Timber's wheel addition. May adapt some removeable ones for special case where weight limits its mobility, but in that situation, your probably pushing your luck with too much weight.

Timber, yea the rear remote hookup with the control make it easy to use. The longer cylinder gives that full height reach. I guess with yours the original use was never to lift things that high. Still great addition for most situations.
