Cracked my Lonestar swinger....again.

So Peels how do you supose the 660 stock arm is held todether?  Why can someone else not weld as good as whatever machine welded the 660 swinger?    I have seen someone welding on a 700 swinger and the process in which they make those sand cast swinger letss all kinds of trash into the metal.  You would not believe how nasty they look while you are welding on them.  So how strong can they be when really  they are just aluminum pot metal, so I don't see how much weaker they could be when extended.

It is still solid metal. Which would have less weak spots then many pieces welded together

I am sure there are many that are welded correctly, but to me, the price is too high to be unsure, just to get a jump off the line

and sorry, not thinking about 660s when posted

This is definitely the last ladder bar I buy. I'm going to the rectangle tube style.

Thats the one I have, heavy but I cant see it breaking on me at all

Nice alkire, That is what I want for mine.   Lonestar, eyball and another that is slipping my mind make those like that.  I think that rectangle tubing like that would be super strong.

It is very beefy sir, I got it off Ebay and they called asking me how i wanted it built. Got it custom the way I wanted it with skid mounts and all. Definitely a great buy so far.
