Why the curved/bent boom on the mini ex?

[the old grind]

Like 4570Man said about reaching over a wall. Bent boom enhances side clearance and lateral reach at full dump height. My FELs will dump higher than the T5C's boom as it is. Reach is plenty and trenching is easy, big holes are not.



What Hay dude said. I've knocked plenty of sand and slid many a stab into holes when working close.

Hate that next to block before waterproofing.
