Troy Built Pony cherry picker

[fallon416]

I made an air/hydraulic cherry picker for the back of my tractor. It can lift 400 lbs. without any weight on the front. With weight on the front I can get up to 600 - 650 lbs. This also doubles as a cherry picker for my cellar. It lifts off of the tractor and goes onto a mobile base in my cellar. On that base it can lift a Jeep.

COOOOOOL! How does it mount to the rear of the tractor?

I too would like to see how its mounted up to the back...great idea!

I'll take some picks of the mount tomorrow. The main rear section that it mounts to is a small platform that is 2 sections of 3/16" plate that is boxed on the end that extend out just above the rear frame rail. I then bolted a section of 3/8" T shaped flat bar to the plate . It over laps the plate on the inside and the outside making it rigid. The top plate has a section of 2" x 1/4" square tube that holds the cherry picker. It could probably use a couple of more side supports but I won't be lifting anything over 400 lbs. with it.
