Here is another set of FEL forks. This was thought up by my father in law. The forks come used from a forklift company in Dallas. The cross member is 2" rod. We welded some 2 1/4" tubes on the tops of the forks so they can slide side to side. The 2" rod is held on to the bucket with hooks made from 1/2" plate welded to the sides of the bucket. There are latches that are loosely bolted to the hooks that swing over to hold the rod in place. You can hook the forks on from the drivers seat, but you have to get out to secure the latches.
Next to the FEL itself, these are just about the handiest things on the farm.
