HI everybody
I'm keen to build my own set of skid steer pallet forks. Having trawled through the forum and scrutinised countless pics from the internet, I think I'm almost ready to make a start.
A few things I'm still not quite sure about though...hoping some of you out there may be able to help me.
I want to make them adjustable and am thinking the set up with a rod/ bar /pipe that holds the tynes in place is the way to go. The exploded diagram below, though not skid steer has the bar shown no.2. I cannot find any reference that explains how strong this part needs to be. Is it a solid bar or can one use heavy walled tube? What size do I need to use?
I will also need to build my own tynes ......perhaps somebody could advise me on what material to use.
The middle picture is one I found on the forum.....unfortunately I cannot make contact with the builder. A pity as the setup looks very good.
My tractor is a Kubota 60 hp.
Cheers Nick
