Any chance I could see some full pictures of that boom/crane rig? Father in law and I have been brainstorming on one similar for salvaging trees in/over the creek.

This is the only good pic I have of the Tractor 3point hitch boom. We built it to hoist cows off the ground that were having difficulty calving or were weak from calving.

Thank you. We were thinking of framed like a small portable auger, beefed up obviously. I beam main, trellis or tension cable backbone, pinion hitch mounted so the truck can be the ballast.
