Easy Forks

I was doing some work with these forks yesterday and thought to take a video.

Looks great, like to build a set myself. Think I will just run the chain all the way around the bucket and hook a binder to the forks at the cutting edge and tighten with the binder. Think that will work?

You can build them any way you like.

I think I'll make a video of taking them off and putting them on. It's really easy, quick, never comes loose, never gets in the way of a load or tangled up with anything. I have to say this is one idea that I like just the way it is. If it's the fabrication of the hold down parts that seems scary, don't worry about it, that's the easiest part to build.

here are a couple more videos...
