It will be my idea of a driveable jumper box. ‘Extra Weight’, Greater Capacity, Mobile Jump Pack, any modification should wherever possibly have more than one advantage over original spec.👍👍👍 Doug. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

All true. And the above in bold reminds me I'll likely need to add weight to the front of the C160 to compensate for the extra heavy duty winch/crane at the back. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

OutdoorEnvy 1,420 #82 Posted January 25, 2023 @ebinmaine how’s this project coming Eric? Or did it get a different thread and I missed it? There are lots of great ideas in this thread though. It’s been a fun read. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There are lots of great ideas in this thread though. It’s been a fun read. Much appreciated 👍 I haven't used it as a lift or pull rig since late November/early December. Some notes: As stated in the previous post of mine it is heavy. That's good for strengthness but is a bit challenging to handle of course. If I built another one I'd go thinner walls. I believe once I get the winch and cable/strap holders on it'll work great. One other possible thought is to add alternative pull options like welded on chain hooks. The hitch it's been in will need to be moved from the Cinnamon Horse 74 C160 to another tractor that has a standard height front end. Cinnamon's lifted front makes the crane tilt back too far. I'll be making up another hitch for that tractor too, accounting for the tilt. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
