Welcome back Ed! NICELY DONE!! Love your work!!


Ditto, Ed. Long time no hear. What's the lift capacity, a few
hundred pounds? Pretty thick-walled tubing, it appears. Do you have
to weight the front of the tractor/quad to get away with that?

Looks like you followed up to the wrong thread but yes, the crane should lift a wee bit over 200 pounds and that's adequate for my needs. The heaviest thing I'll ever lift with it is probably the boiler in my boat and that's a wee bit under 200 pounds.
