    I don't have alot of tools to do this, but I spoke to some people...Turned out if I bought a 3pt pre-made Hitch frame, a welder knocked up a boom, stabiliser arms and support for me out of old stuff lying around box girder. I paid him £150 for half a days work , the Frame was £250...I spent another half day, grinding and cleaning it - £20 on prime - £20 on bright red paint. Thing is excellent, I have a strong loop it can hang a chain hoist, I can dead lift with the Tractor hydraulics, I've lifted an engine block, I've lowered pre-moulded 500kg (1000lb) concrete forms into a culvert. Thing is mega useful. Now I want to learn to weld and build this stuff myself amd save money.

    Cheap reflexes save the day.
    Sweaty palms and that tingling in the pocket at the checkout will never let you down.

    I have one similar. I too thought it was OK too till I realized it’s designed all wrong. I’m going to make a new one with the schedule 40 tube hooked direct to the tractor top link attachment and the upright supports start near the lower pins & run straight up to connect along the bottom of the main pipe with 5 different connection points. The end will have a loose neck bend of around 40 degrees. The end result is it can go from 6” off the ground to 9 ft in the air.

    Awesome! And if the tractor has a 12v outlet you can add a winch.

    I WISH these were $150-250 in the UK. They are like £500-750 ($650-900!)

    Hi there. Great build. I notice you have the remote spool valve for the Ford. I'm looking to get one for my tractor but I currently have the single hose with the push pull tab. I also use this to lock the 3 point in place to keep the arms up. I'm wondering if I replace it with the spool valve will I still be able to do this and how does it operate in conjunction with the 3 point. I can't find answers anywhere on the web. Thanks

    • @toocheaptosmoke
      @toocheaptosmoke  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hmm, not sure? My tractor had zero hydraulic remotes when I got it, that's the aftermarket kit I got. Is your valve mounted in the same spot? I've used my setup with brush hogs that only have one hose, it works fine for that.

    Hi, nice video. You use US measurements. Would be nice to add on-screen converted meter/centimeter measurements. Thanks

      Not a bad idea, will have to remember that next time I'm editing, thanks.

      They're called "Freedom Units" Not US measurement. ;-)

    I bought a boom pole at Tractor Supply for $150, and it’s painted. Unless your time has no value you can’t save money fabricating something this simple.
