I don't have a loader on my tractor but I use the forks on the skidsteer a good bit. Don't know how I'd get along without them. Can you see the end of your forks from sitting in the seat? I've been reading lately about some folks with loader cameras sounds like a great idea. I don't need a camera on the skid steer but have thought about one on my backhoe if I was doing some kind of critical close in work with it.

I got a Titan tree puller and been happy with it. Good folks to deal with.

I have a set of their over the bucket forks and they are high quality and were shipped fast. Easy company to deal with and pretty good pricing.

I stand up on the tractor and I can see the fork tips. The real forklift has the worst visibility of all. I guess that is the price you pay for a 4 ton lift capacity in a lawnmower sized package.

I can't see my tips even standing unless they're a good distance above grade. Never had that issue on any of the forktrucks I've run at various jobs over the years. You could always stick your head to the side and look through or around the mast. I can't see through the hood or loader arms no matter how I wiggle from the operator platform.

I plan on doing a loader cam for this very reason. I can pick stumps and even smaller logs and rocks with the grapple, but the fork tips are elusive.

If I'm not lifting heavy stuff I've been known to put my forks off center to to one side a bit so I could lean around and see the tip of one fork

My tractor's wide enough, getting them at the very ends still means I have to hop off to get a peek. R4 fronts that are roughly 30" tall and 11" wide "make a better door than a window" as my dad used to say. :)

I have their 3pt forks and also very well made for the price. I think they are a better option than a carry all as you can adjust the width etc. I also have front q/a Bradco forks but find I use the 3pt ones more.
