Nice..but a bit..light duty isnt it?

Gunner

I'm wondering about lateral stability.
It might want to fold to the left or right.

Aye it concerns me too. I try not to lift stuff very high and I only
move in low gear.

Very nice!

I rigged up a similar result for a smaller tractor by converting a
2000 Lb shop crane into a trailer, with larger off-road wheels and a
hitch.

The caster/lift at the mast end is a trailer tongue jack with two
added outer wheels. The axle has a fork attached to a pipe tee for a
removeable screw-in pipe handle to move it manually, which is very
useful to position the load precisely, for example when reinstalling a
pickup truck bed.

Heavy loads can be secured by lowering them onto crosswise planks.
