This is a boom pole with a basket on the end of it. I welded it together to help trim the tree lines. Its attached to the FEL by means of the FEL pallet forks. The forks are rated at 3500 pounds, so I don't have to worry about them bending or snapping off. I'm not completely done with the basket yet. I still need to weld some more square tubing in the middle of the basket. Just incase someone slips, they don't fall out of the basket. I also need to add more support brakets to the end fingers. The way I have it set up, I can remove the basket from the boom pole. The swing bracket will always stay connected to the basket. The end of the boom pole is some what like a reciever hitch. The total height I can get is about 23 feet. But I don't plan on going any higher then 20 feet. I do have the tires filled and have had 120 pounds in the basket raised up to 20 foot so far. FEL was stabble, but I need to add some support to the FEL pallet forks. I do plan on using more ballast weight to the rear end of the tractor (the more weight I add to the basket).
