I'm running a small containerized tree farm. (Tree's start in pots as seedlings
instead of being field planted.) The pots are on pallets. The pallets are
moved each spring from the sheltering woods to the open fields, or
partially sheltered field (depends on species.) In the fall they are moved
back.
I have a Deutz 6250, which is your typical 50 horse chore tractor, and
not very nimble in tight spaces. I rigged up some channel on the bucket
and have been making do with that, but a load of trees on the bucket
bounces around a lot on a rough field. Have to move slowly. Plus
I can't see the fork tips very well, plus the loader on this tractor doesn't
do fine motions that well. (Could be the operator....)
Woods makes a 3 pt hitch forklift that would fit this tractor, which would
give me enough lift to put it on the truck. But for moving the pallets around
I think I just need a pallet fork that attaches to the 3 pt hitch. That, with only
a few hundred pounds would be in the working range of my Kubota B7100,
which is cheaper to run, and more manoeverable.
So: who makes cat 1 pallet forks?
