Backhoe Mounted Boom Lets Him Put Up Building Trusses Himself
Using 3-in. thick wall pipe, I made this backhoe-mounted boom that lets me put up building trusses by myself. The boom U-bolts to the bucket’s center tooth, and also to a 2 by 1/2-in. steel bar that’s bolted on back of the bucket. I use a sliding chain hook to secure the truss.
