Installing FM50T hydraulic crane on my homemade 4x4 timber trailer. I sold the original FM35 crane and replaced it with this telescopic one to try the extra reach out that it'll provide. The install was fairly easy. The new joysticks have buttons on them for telescope and grapple. Before the grapple had to be operated via separate lever. Now all the controls are on two levers. The side supports are still operated via separate levers. Now the timber trailer is ready for hauling logs for my swingblade sawmill project once it's finished. Stay tuned!
