Yanmar Boom Pole Category 1 1000 lb Lift Capacity

Description

Yanmar YBP20 Category 1 Boom Pole, 1,000 lb Capacity

The YBP20 is a three-point boom pole that turns a compact tractor into a small crane for lifting and moving heavy items like engines, fence posts, logs and building materials. It is rated for 1,000 pounds at the rear loop and 500 pounds at the front loop.

Construction

The boom is 85.5 inches long with multiple welded lifting loops, so the load can be hung closer to the tractor for heavier lifts or further out for reach. It weighs about 66 pounds, mounts to a Category 1 hitch, and suits tractors of at least 20 HP. It is not quick-hitch compatible.

• Weight Capacity: 1000 lbs. rear loop / 500 lbs. front loop
• Hitch: Category 1
• Tractor Requirements: 20 HP minimum
• Boom length: 85.5 in
• Approximate weight: 66 lbs

Lifting Safely

Capacity drops as the load moves further from the tractor, so using the loop closest to the hitch for the heaviest items keeps the tractor stable. Rated chains or straps and a steady, slow lift reduce swinging.

Choosing a Boom Pole

Pick the YBP20 for compact tractors and loads up to 1,000 pounds. The YBP30 doubles capacity to 2,000 pounds and fits Category 1 and 2 hitches.
