[QUOTE="cfpinz, post: 1447641, member: 2383"] 1" square tubing is a waste of time, you're pushing the envelope and limiting yourself to only light duty use of the boom. I made a jib boom that slides over a set of forks to set trusses with my loaders, believe it's 3-1/2" sch 40 with a sliding jib made out of 3" sch 40. It's somewhere around 12-15' or so without the jib, which adds another 8 or 10 feet. It's well braced and handles 40' trusses fine. Biggest issue is slowing down the loader hydraulics to have some control over it, the length magnifies your movements right smart. Particularly nerve racking with a skid loader having foot controls... Moral of the story, find some pipe and build it strong enough to do other tasks with, too. [/QUOTE]
