Pivoting Backhoe Boom
 |
The Boomer Hydra-Swing is equipped with two cylinders - one that operates the bucket and the other that swings the pivoting boom up to 45 degrees to the side. By changing the position of a pin, the boom can be attached to one side of the mounting plate or in the middle.
"It allows you to set in one spot and work without having to skid the loader over to the side all the time to dump," says inventor Randy Lackender. "The boom is equipped with electric-over-hydraulic controls, which allows the use of both cylinders from one auxiliary valve on the skid loader."
The boom is available with 8, 12, 16 and 20-in. buckets. A boom equipped with a 12-in. bucket sells for $2,650.
