I'm thinking about building a machine shed. It's been 5 years of thinking so far, and progress is slow with plan development but...
How much do roof trusses weigh? Over in Stuck and Troubled we have a picture of the Rhino:
"nicknamed the 'Rhino' this handy unit consists of a 'H' tractor, a IHC loader and a cheapie 3 point jib. it can lift a rafter 25 ft. and can sling engines around the yard all day, just be sure to plan your turns well in advance as you have to give that boom plenty of lead time!"
I'm building a similar arrangement out of a modified bale spear with Westendorf mounts and a similar 3-point gin pole. When I'm done I want to be able to raise trusses with my 1086 and WL-42 loader to build the machine shed. Gin pole is a Cat I, 500lb limit.Bought new at Bomgaars the other day, looks just like the one in the picture except it's covered in green paint.
Can I lift 40-foot-long trusses with an arrangement like this? Or do I need to go shorter because of the weight?
