Been wanting to build something like this for sometime. Now there are several brands available. Probably cost and time more efficient to buy a quality and time tested one like LimbSaw. What’s the fun in that? Plus some other features I would like to explore.
Just getting started so haven’t got to the finished product yet. Forum will help to encourage me to continue while getting valuable input along the way. Slow and steady wins the race.
Material selection has more to do with scrap pile inventory.
Using 2” receiver mounts already in service on several attachment.
Main boom made 3” square tube, 0.25” wall. 8’ long. 2.5” sleeve and 2” square bar for receiver. Tried to knock together using 16# sledge. No go. Installed on tractor a nudged, bumped against rock wall to press fit together. Nice and tight before welding. Little more than 9’ now. Getting heavy fast. Going R&D hanging storage system in the tractor shed or barns.
Did a drive around to test height on some oak, walnut and pechickory trees needing trimmed. This might work.
