Truss boom of choice

[ironman1952]

I purchased my Kioti RX 7320 more for use in construction things like Timber frame projects and the like. I have been researching truss booms and so far have narrowed down to the Jenkins and the Skid pro, both hydraulic models.
Does anyone have experience with either of these or perhaps have another suggestion?

Only real suggestion, is 100% make sure you have a Lot of counter weight. With that high of a lift, you don't want your pivoting, front axle, to be the primary thing taking side load.

Last time I set a grain tank I used a very large JD FWA tractor and a telephone pole with a chain on the end. Worked fine. Problem was taking the chain off the top after I get it set on the concrete pad.

Thanks, My tractor is a RX 7320 and the loader is rated at about 3300 +-
most of these truss booms weigh close to 1000lbs and the max load at full extension is about 400 so thats less than 1/2 of the weight of the loader.

Is that reasonable? for the front end of the tractor? Also my rear tires are filled so that should be plenty of counter weight YES or NO

Great comments You have me thinking about the loader specs.
Its the KL 7320 loader
the lift cylinder is rated at 3384 lbs
But they dont show what the curl cylinder is rated at. With a boom of 22' fully extended and a 400lb truss attached to it will that be too much weight at a 45 degree angle?
Not sure how to even ask on a internet search.
Eeeeek
