How much reach does the typical boom pole give you, past the rear tires?

Looks as though the best price is one from Agri Supply: $114 for a 500-1000# lift.

Depends on the length of the boom.

We had a home built one years ago and I would say it was about six or seven feet behind the wheels. Obviously, at full height, you loose reach.

Looks like it is 84" long. Wonder if that is from the pins? If so you could measure how far your tires are behind the pins and subtract.

Weight capacity on front loop: 1,000 lbs.
Weight capacity on end loop: 500 lbs.
Attaches to a 3 point hitch

Amazing you lose half the capacity of the lift just a few inches forward.
