Tractor-Powered Cherry Picker
 ✖  |
Dave, Marty and Nick O'Neall, Cooksville, Ill., get a lot of service out of their converted cherry picker which began life as an electric power company truck. They modified it to pull behind their tractor, powered by the pto.
They say it's a safe, convenient way to paint or do other maintenance on buildings and is handy for use both as a bucket lift and as a lift boom. They have a winch that mounts in place of the bucket for jobs such as lifting trusses up for barn building.
Lift capacity ranges from 600 lbs. when the arm is fully extended to 4,000 lbs. when pulled all the way in. The O'Nealls stripped the truck down to the bare frame up front and installed a drawbar hitch on front. The truck had its own hydraulics so the O'Nealls built a pto power jack to drive the hydraulic pump. Hydraulic controls for the cherry picker are on the back end of the unit where they always were.
Previously the O'Nealls converted an electric powered cherry picker but they say this hydraulic unit is far superior.
