Put a pull cable in tension to the top of the fork frame from 2/3 out on the pole

@@ProjectsWithPaul you are welcome! Great video

I won't Caped the 2x4 so you could have slid it back closer to the pins for more lifting streigh

[@ProjectsWithPaul]

Good idea Moak. Thanks for watching.

Can you flip it over and bend it back or will the steel get weaker doing that?

[@ProjectsWithPaul]

I did bend it back enough by forcing it down on the ground with the tractor. I've been using it with no issues. Thanks for watching.

[@MLDIYSH]

How did I know that would bend? How did I also know that was the wrong material to use for a boom?

[@ProjectsWithPaul]

Thanks for watching

kzbin.info/www/bejne/g6WweYOKnsiDfMk Might want to try chains about 1/2 way up to reduce the bending…

[@ProjectsWithPaul]

Yes, I think I will. Thanks for watching
