Mini Skid Steer Boom Attachments

What Mini Skid Steer Booms and Jibs Are For

A boom attachment moves the load away from the machine so you can place it over an obstacle instead of driving into one — setting a rootball into a planting hole, lifting a fence post, or hoisting material over a footing where forks would bind. The trade is reach against capacity: every foot the load sits farther forward is leverage working against the loader, so a boom derates the carrier well below its bucket rating. The Loflin Fabrication Mini Tree Boom is built from 3" x 3" square steel tubing, stands 55 1/2" tall, and rotates 360°, which lets the operator swing a load into position without repositioning the machine — useful in nursery rows, tight yards, and around finished landscaping. It ships with hoses and fittings plus a treaded step, and the powder-coated finish is aimed at equipment that lives outdoors.

Matching Boom Attachments to Your Machine

Two things decide fit: the mount and the math. This boom is stocked with Toro Dingo and Bobcat MT50 mounts, with custom mounts and custom heights available, so confirm your loader's plate before ordering — mini skid steer couplers are not standardized across brands the way full-size skid steer plates largely are. On capacity, the 2,500 lb figure is a limit on the attachment, not a promise about your loader. Your real working limit is whichever is lower: that rating, or your machine's rated operating capacity at the reach you are actually lifting from. SAE J818 defines rated operating capacity for skid steer loaders as a set fraction of the machine's tipping load, which is why a loader that carries a full bucket comfortably can get light in the rear with a much smaller load hung out on a boom. Work from your carrier manufacturer's load chart, keep loads low while traveling, and treat soft or sloped ground as a capacity reduction of its own.
