I would get a set of forks for the rear. it is handy at times having a set on the front and rear.

Ok, for some reason I missed this the first time around.
Please say more why and under what circumstances that both front and rear forks would be handy, please.
Not a challenge question! This is strictly a "tractor newbie" question!

Good idea! I found a source for relatively new pallets for $2 each; I plan to pick up 25 or so of them tomorrow afternoon.
One final finishing touch was I took some rubber tubing and split it lengthwise. I then formed it around the sharp edges of the cutout where the toplink goes into the barrel. This will help prevent you from getting cut when hooking up.

I would look some more. I get my pallets for free. Most business are happy to have somebody pick them up, they are basically trash. I get most of mine from Napa. I have a customer that works for a packaging company and he brings me a pick up load once in a while. Another idea on free pallets is your tractor dealer. Some people on here get them free from Lowes but my Lowes charges $10 for them.
The tractor is super stable now. I went out into the back 20 and moved several dead fall trees off the trails, never felt any degree of tilting forward at all. I'm glad you guys helped me build this!
