The boom isn't on a ram. Its on a piece of 2 1/4" solid 4140. Boom height will be controlled from the back of the boom but an ATV winch and another will be on the boom for lifting.
Thanks for the correction. In the first pictures one can see the solid 2 1/4 inch metal better. Just trying to follow along.The boom isn't on a ram. Its on a piece of 2 1/4" solid 4140.

Forgot to add, I will have one of these on the way soon enough.
If you're working in an adit I do hope you have a good
source of fresh air being blown in. That critter will put out
nasty exhaust plus eat up all your good air.
It wont be used in an adit. I have a severe aversion to an infernal combustion engine being used underground.
Mostly going to be used for heavy sampling of some massive quartz outcrops I am working on getting access to.
And it has uses around the house here as half of my place is built on caliche.
If you have a chance to try one of those gas dudes before you buy.
You should, you might be happier waiting till you get full on air.

While not good without some rain, it seems to be moving up the eastern side of the Sierras. Muggy here near Reno, and in the 100's. If we get no rain, I might be night mining next trip to the claim.
