Thanx !

(quoted from post at 10:57:16 10/18/17) This is the one dad made. It is both category 1 and 2.
(quoted from post at 17:15:45 10/18/17) A couple of thoughts:
Even a simple boom pole is heavy enough to heft around. Add a bunch of stuff to one and you're not going to enjoy mounting it very much.
Consider adding a remote hydraulic valve to your tractor. Im sure TOH could help you with this.
With a two way valve you can use a hydraulic top link which is VERY handy for just about any 3 point implement and a boom pole especially.
Think about it. Tractorguy2 shows a a good boom pole but with a hyd top link you can control any 3 pount implement.
You can buy a hyd top link but they're expensive.- $250?
I made my own with a $25 hyd cylinder off craigslist and the swivel ends off of a bent screw type top link.
Take a look at the photos. Note how much higher I can raise that disc simply by shortening the top link - at the touch of a lever from the seat.

(quoted from post at 03:29:20 10/19/17) You are correct.
The difference is that his cylinder is on
the boom pole which allows him to raise and
lower his boom. A hydraulic top link allows
you to adjust Any and All of your 3 point
implements from the seat.
don't enjoy changing implements or compromise solutions, so I keep 4 tractors equipped for tasks at hand. Each has its purpose. If just a hobby, then compromise is the bag.(quoted from post at 09:00:56 10/20/17) Point well made Jmor.
Except...
If I only had one tractor like many people
here I sure wouldn't want a loader on it.
Maybe if most if your tasks required a
loader that would be different.
But you know as well as anyone here what a
clunky behemoth a loader makes out of an
otherwise nimble tractor.
So many guys here use their tractors for
mowing, plowing, etc and such a hindrance a
loader is for those tasks.
If a guy has more than one tractor and
dedicates one for primarily loader work
that's another story. But with just one the
various 3 point tools will get him by pretty
well.
