Gin pole and hoist for my Bckhoe
By adding a few things to the fork carriage of my backhoe I have pretty much transformed it into a skyhook. Well Hardly but a very useful addition to my arsenal to say the least
First off I had to repair an old roofing hoist I had in order for any of this to be worth doing.
I made a mount for the hoist and a gin pole this will allow me to use any length pole that I can safely pick up with the loader
