3 Pt auger frame

[johnk]

I was wondering how a 3pt auger frame [Minus powerhead and auger} would work as a boompole for something like skidding tongs? I think TSC's boompole is rated at 500# lift whereas the auger frame seems far superior in strength with a little less reach. Anyone used this setup??

I think a 3-pt auger frame would make a great log skidding
frame. I would love to find one real cheap for one I am planning.
