Since you are into cranes and such.Here is an oldie which is a Link Belt with chain drive tracks. It belongs to a logging Company in Coos Bay Oregon and had cable grapples on it for a long time for loading logs. It has since been changed back to a drag bucket.     Would make a good project down the road. William |

Kerry,
Those outside pics look really good! Now if you would wind some cable on the other drums and at least one hoist line. It would be even better !!
I think a clam bucket would look good with it??

Kerry,
Some really good looking outdoor photos!
There has been some reference to a fly jib here. I may be wrong, But I think it refers to the lattice type jib on the side of the heel section of a hydraulic crane, That can be attached to the head section for additional reach but for much lighter loads.
ON a conventional crane there is a fixed jib, or a luffing jib. Richard you can help me out on this one!
Be Well
Gator
