To the fellow who bought a boom pole, dirt bucket last week

Here's how I reinforced mine when I rebuilt it. 1 1/2 inch angle iron.
Yes, there is a limit to what you can lift with one of these. A metal gate in a snowbank apparently exceeds that limit!

Thanks Ray. That looks much stronger than the original design. I will take a look at trying that this week end. I have a mig welder, so it should not be too hard to add. :D
 
Butting in: That strap over the top is an important part of it also. I bought a post hole digger with a round pipe boom. I used it for a boom pole before I had such. It had no such reinforcing and I bent it one day. I installed such and never bent it again. Course the thing was made for digging holes, not lifting heavy weights. Grin
