No I never figured it would carry that load at all! You realy should never carry a load if it has any real weight off the boom. This is where forks should be used. The main use of Boom is to lift things while you sit in one spot or to load something in a bed of a truck. I just tested it for stress with over 3,000 lbs to check the design. I rate this at only 1,000 lbs like most of the 3 point booms made for tractors. There is no way the tractor could even lift that load with the Hydraulics, in fact I don't think it could even lift 1,000 lbs that far back from the tractor wheel center with out lifting the front wheels. You could lower the boom hitch to the ground and use it with a hoist also for lifting. I solved the side bend problem this morning with a couple small chains from the grab hooks up to the middle of the boom. Mark H.
