Every Boom I seen sold has the problems of being over loaded. There is no way you can get around it if a person want to try to lift something that way. I guess the only way I could solve that would be to put a shear bolt at the tip but then you could break that as soon as you hit or jerked the design point. Another way would be a spring that would strech if the load was to much. It seems by the lifting of the front wheels is the best way and I designed it so the boom could take way more then the tractor could lift up. I was only able to lift 3,000+ lbs by putting a jack under the hitch base in the center. My tractor which can carry a 2,000 lb bale of hay off forks could not lift 3,000 lbs that far out. Mark H.
