Found this on CL recently.

This just seems wrong.

That's pretty cool, definitely needs a lot of rear ballast!

bet you rear main seal is leaking

I'm thinking photoshop. REALLY can't see the front axle/wheels/bearings taking that kind of abuse. The weight of the boom alone is questionable, add much of a log and we're deep in "I don't think so, Tim" country.

No, I believe it's the real deal. Here is some more pics from the add.

He has a lot of iron hanging on a little B5200 frame, but the most appalling action is the weld on the ROPS!

Bingo.

Definitely photoshopped.

I have the same issue - tried pc and tablets but no link or picture. Logged in - still don't see it.

I came back to this thread and the OP's pic gone again. I hit the refresh and all is well. Give that a try!

That looks like an Ash log ~14" diameter probably 8' which would weigh ~500 pounds.

How much would the boom/hardware weigh?

Nope. Guess I don't qualify.

That's a substantially heavier and longer boom than on my backhoe. All in, I'd guess 2000lbs extra on that tractor. Creative, though. I wonder about the lateral stability...

 

[GreensvilleJay]

Well, the front tire's look fine.....gotta be a LOT better than the ones on my BX23S !!
