I finally got to use my new clamp-on bucket forks (Blueline Mfg), and boy am I happy with them. My main reason for getting them was to be able to pile more brush on the loader for hauling to the brush pile.
What I didn't realize is that I can cut down a pretty good pile, then get on the tractor and pick the whole thing up with the forks and haul it to the pile without ever getting off the tractor. I cut and piled up 3 or 4 times what I could do in the past yesterday. Used to be the easy part was cutting the limbs and the hard part was then dragging them to the brush pile or piling them onto the loader. Now the tractor can do so much more, so much easier.
The only problem I ran into was every now and then I would have to manually pull limbs that got stuck behind one of the short uprights on the forks during dumping. Some extensions on those would be helpful.
