3 Point lift boom with hydraulic cylinder

ncpapaul · Apr 13, 2009

Does anybody have some pictures of some 3 point lift poles with cylinder they can send me? I am tired of just having the lift distance of my 3 point arms and am going to build one with a hyd cylinder on it to add to the lift distance. THank you, Paul in Mississippi

If you already have a lift boom, getting a hyd upper link can really make a world of difference, less cost than rebuilding a new boom with cyl, and you can use the upper lionk cyl for many other implement.

Another design is building it like a post hole digger, where it attaches directly to the upper link hole on the tractor. This uses a sissors action to make it lift 2x or so as high as the 3pt does - but it does cut down on the weight it can lift because of the multiplier.

Just some 'other' ideas.

Google is your phriend! Found this in google images in about 15 seconds. The ones I've seen in person are much heavier, but the concept is the same.

I got tired of the limited range on my boom pole so I welded brackets on the base and bolted on an electric winch with the cable routed through a pulley at the end. This works 100x better.

I also like the idea of a hydraulic top link. Simpler but not the range a winch provides. Best thing (I think) would be a pto winch on the boom pole.

How did you setup the hydraulic upper link? I was looking at a 12" stroke ram with a 1-1/4" threaded rod. A joiner nut to connect the CATII 1" ball.
The other end of the ram needs a catII 1" ball too. Was considering just welding a replacement upperlink ball right to the end of the ram body.

I cheated and just bought one from Carter & Carter. It has one end a cat 2 size ball even. With pilot check valves, os it doesn't drift.

I took the wheel lift off of an old AC notill planter turned it up side down so it would raise the wheel hub up and not push it down. I then welded a three point hitch on the original tool bar and welded the AC planter tongue on to the arm that the hub & spindled were connected to and the tongue was my boom.

It's one of the handiest items I've built. It would lift the front end of my Case IH 885 diesel off the ground.
