Turnip,

Thanks for the video. It looks like a great system.

This week I hope to have a functional clutch linkage, and am picking up a Meyer Snow plow. Then it’s just all new wiring and hydraulics to get operational before winter. Right now I’m thinking of a small davit with an electric winch instead of what you have. But I will still need a jack leg no matter what.

Thanks for your help.

Cheers,

Tom

Turnip

Your way of connecting the jack leg is brilliant. Just the thing for my little 411.

When you get the time, would you mind adding some pictures?

Cheers,

Tom

Its rated at 600Kg full in and I think 400kg out....... but it lifts a tonne bag ok! The crane was electro/ hydraulic 12v, but I drive it from my engine driven hydraulic pump and it has a lot of grunt.... very good on timber with a pair of self gripping tongs, and the retractable arm will pull stuff in to where you want it!
If you look close you can see a jack leg beneath? This is a bit of box with a small ram inside and a car towball on the top, I extend this to take the weight (and break beads on tyres!) The ally body is a tipper so I have an air operated bed lock on the other side to keep things square?
The crane will actually take the spare off the roof too!
As I get older I have adapted stuff to save my back!
Phil.

I have thought a smaller crane would work well behind the cab of my 406 I don't want to increase the unladen weight too much. How much weight can you lift over the side Turnip?
