First: I hope you actually see or somehow pinpoint the cause of your weak boom structure.
Second: I encourage you to do something about it.
Hope my words of wisdom helps. |

close enough is perfect | Well, I think I'll start with what Theweldor recommended: Check it over thoroughly for cracks on Monday... and take it from there. Maybe there is something wrong with it that I just haven't discovered yet. I don't think so... but I can't say with certainty until I pick up a couple of those heavy, off-center loads and take a real close look.

Check for cracks in the paint. I have seen from time to time where the only thing I could find was a crack in the paint. Peel or grind the paint off and there is a crack underneath it. How do you like the Red Beast. I would like to fetch up a little compact this year. | | | |

I bought it "slightly used" in 2006 and it has been great. It's as heavy a tractor/loader/backhoe as I can possibly transport at this time... and I don't see myself ever selling it.

Chris.... | Oh no, I am dead serious here. Ain't too many things that the poor old Dougster™ is 100.00% serious about, but you can take this one to the bank. Even with a PowerBall lottery win that would see me adding an M59, Mahindra 7520 and Deere 410J to the stable... the 4110 is staying!!!

So now back to where we started: Would adding a second, smaller crossbrace like the one on the ML275's boom do me any good in terms of adding axial torsional stiffness?  Or am I still barking up the wrong tree?

I used to own an ant farm but had to give it up. I couldn't find tractors small enough to fit it.
