Im planning to build a "man lift or work platform" to use on the FEL of my tractor. I think it will come in handy for trimming limbs, painting overhead entrance, and general work on barns, deer stands, etc. My neighbor has one (pictured below) that he uses regularly. His is built to work in conjunction with a set of pallet forks or hay forks. I have a couple of designs in mind and would like your opinions / advice.
1) What in your opinion would be the ideal dimensions? I was think 2 or 3 ft. wide and about 7 or 8 ft. long
2) Would you build it so that it attached to your pallet forks, or would you build it to attach directly via the tractor FEL skid steer quick attach? What would be advantages or disadvantages of either method?
3) What would be the ideal rail height? (Im thinking a little over waist height)
4) would you build a gate in one end to keep from having to climb over each time?
thanks
