Now that is a pretty cool looking machine, it would be perfect for loading one of these Linn dump trucks. I will need a truck to load after I finish the Gradall.
Hmm...

Its a shame there's not much of a crane house to hide electronics inside. I can't wait to see where you go with this

Yes, it is indeed pretty unique. Looking at the diagrams for the main boom it seems to use a big hydraulic cylinder (or two? facing opposite to each other
) and some kind of cable rigging, which I don't understand yet.
The lack of space is something I did not foresee. It will be a interesting challenge for sure.
Even the swing is hydraulic using a pair of cylinders pulling a chain around a sprocket
