Can any one tell me what the lifting capacity of the 3 pt on my 2n is? I need to make a boom but I don't want to break any thing. Also, does anyone have plans or a picture of a boom to give me an idea as to how to build one? Thanks again guys.

The lift was advertised as able to lift "5 grown men." Had a picture of a crowd standing on the lift arms.

I think the lift capacity is about 600 or 700 pounds.

Remember it's a leverage thing with that boom. If you can get it with the chain moved in on the boom, it's a lot easier and you won't get the front teetering. I moved some pieces of a big log back a year or so ago and couldn't pick up a couple with the front end staying down. I moved the chain to the center of the boom (mine has a spot there to hook), and lifted right up. If you can spare the height on the lift, I always lift near the center. That rear tractor wheel acts like a fulcrum. Remember a see saw. Weight of the two people didn't matter than much, you just adjust the heavier person toward the fulcrum.

As others have said its cheaper to buy a new one then to buy the steel and make it your self. As far as how much it will lift, well you can lift only as much as will let the front wheels stay on the ground. Or in other words it will lift to the point of lifting to front off the ground and even flip the tractor over back wards. Remember you will be lifting out 6 feet or more from the back and that makes off a lot of lift off the front of the tractor. And those N are light up front to start with

boom is $89 at TS.
Hardly seems worth building.
You can lift till the front wheels come off the ground.

Unless you already have some steel lying around, you probably cannot make for for as cheap as you can buy one. Here in Michigan, my local tractor supply has them for about $70. I bought mine used for $30.
