sure does save your back and a lot of time! nice job! I gave $300 for mine ona auction about 15 years ago, i'm sure they are around the $3000 mark or better now! I also have a hyd grapple that mounts on mine, and can put big round bales up on semi's, or over a fence for feeding. saves on not having to open a gate!

if you get the right hook up chain, a lot of times you don't hafta get off the tractor to pick things up or unhook things. I use a tow truck hook ona chain, them are the BIG hooks that tow drivers use to hook ona rear axle of a vehicle to hook up to a sling. those are the handiest chains I've ever owned, 1000's of uses!

Sure looks like a backsaver to me. Plus it gives you another use for the AC!

B's will do wheelies with a B Pick-up plow. I'll bet you can use the rig to change the front tires!!!
