10 dollar Truss boom Lifts House Trusses

I was challenged to lift house trusses in place with the RK25 and a homemade boom! Not only did it work just great with a few ratchet straps and a couple two by fours, but it worked perfectly. After it was done I just unscrewed the 2x4's and put them back!

I didn't want to spend $2500 either on the truss boom from Titan. It took me about 10-15 minutes to come up with it!

Awesome 👌 👏 👍. 1 question: Where's the weight holding tractor down? Is the driver that heavy? Again great idea 💡. Joking about over weight driver.

I questioned if I needed ballast too but it it wasn't anything tippy at all. Trusses weighed 85 lb and the boards maybe 15. The front board would have broke before the tractor tipped for sure.
