I was debating a removable brace from side to side movement for it. Problem is the lift arms are not rigid to start off with. What would be better is a set of adjustible chains from the boom tip to the tractor rear lower link mounts then it could be rigid for moving things around swinging. Also a load that could swing should be ancored to stop the movement. It would be easy to do this just run 2 chain forming a "A" down to the Link mounts off the tip on the boom. There is enought room for this to be done and still room for a hooking point. As far as over lifting most Booms are rated for a load. The ones tractor places sell are rated at 500-1000 lbs max and I have lifted over 3,000 lbs with this one in a test with no problems. The manufactured tube ones I have seen and used would fold even with the braces on them if you over loaded it. I was rating this at 1,000 lbs Max with a 3+ to 1 Saftey factor. I don't feel the added brace between the top support (under Tention) and the boom (under compression) would do that much. Most booms that use that support the weight in a bending moment on the boom and need to beef the boom. This is more of a A-Frame Style support with out the A in the frame. Booms should not be used for lifting heavy stuff if the tractor is on a angle sideways due to making it easier to turn it over on it side. Mark H.

It is also very apparent that these folks are getting a lot of very poor and often very dangerous advice fro
