What else do you do with forks besides lift pallets?

I use mine to move pallets (obviously), my 30 gallon fuel tank, round bales, move anything in/out of the loft in my barn, that's all I can think of now but I know there's more.

I seldom need to lift a pallet, but the forks stay on there more than the bucket does these days. Moving the picnic table around is easy, moving things for my neighbor's and myself. Useful cutting firewood, keeps my saw outta the gravel.

Move Cattle Panels.

Yes, yes. I didn't think to list that. They are GREAT for moving cattle panels and tube gates. If the cows knock a fence down in a remote spot, I use the forks to haul the panels and create a temp fence with the panels until I can get to fixing the fence.

I turned my compost pile with the forks today. Works ok.

Back in June of 2005 when I put this together, it was the only loader that I had.

Hauled a lot of brush and dead trees, made some big brush piles. Lift height to the pins is 9' 3".

I was thinking about this thread over the weekend. I used my tractor forks to spray my lawn.

Its a little pull-behind 15 gallon Fimco sprayer. I plugged it into a battery maintainer port that I added to power the pump.

I use my forks almost daily and I haven't moved a pallet in months. I have a slip on trailer ball I put on the forks and I use that all the time moving trailers and I use the forms to move pipes, gates, round bales, implements, my dumpster,etc
