REAR LIFTING BAR SKETCH ON RUDI'S MANUAL SITE
Posted: Sat Jul 31, 2004 9:04 pm
My stepdad has a regular cub with hydraulics. He wants me to try and put a boom-type lift on the rear to pick things up and transport around.
I saw the 'rear lifting bar' sketch....but am having a tough time putting that into a 3-d image in my mind!!!!!! Who's drawing is that? Are there a few pictures that exist so as to see it better?
Then there's the issue of pick-up point and the amount of weight the boom will handle. I think I really mean how much the touch control will lift.
He wants something that bolts between the final drives like where the drawbar mounts with a bar that pivots from there and is lifted by the rear lifting arm. I have doubts that it would lift much that way. The rear lift arm is very close to the back of the tractor and the longer the boom gets from the pick-up point the heavier the load....right?
I know for sure he wants to lift the concrete top off the pump house and that's about 4' SQ and 4" thick. Then after that it's anybody's guess as to what might be hooked up to be toted around.
Any help here would be greatly appreciated. I need to get going on this project asap.
