Yes. I do this all the time. To get the extra height if you need it, just shorten the top link.

If you hook right to the end and use a short toplink.. I'd think you can have about 8' or so of lift. mind you.. the weight is multiplied.. so when pulling a heavy load.. keep an eye ont he tractor front end... Might have to ballast it... etc.

I made my own, it will lift 18 feet and about 400 pounds, be careful on the weight as the others are saying and balance. A work platform is next for pole for reaching heights. Better than a ladder

Its only a piece of 3" schedule 40 pipe bolted to a backing plate. It picks the forks up but when I tried to lift the back of my Chevy S-10, the pipe bent? Oh well I got silly and it did not work, I made this to lift about 200 pounds and it does that well, thanks on compliment
