BX25 pallet forks

[Yooperman]

Pictures of my first major BX25 project... pallet forks. If I said it once, I've said it a thousand times... I LOVE that tractor! :laughing:

Yooperman- where in se pa did you take the welding class?

 

[radioman]

nice design!:thumbsup: I have a question tho. do you have difficulty in trying to install the pins with guard up that high?

 

[Yooperman]

93Mustang - I took my welding class at the local vocational technical school that offered classes in the evenings. Highly recommended.

radioman - I am afraid I do not totally understand your question. I have no trouble with the pins. Perhaps an additional picture will help make it clearer.

Beautiful work! I'm wondering if it's possible to mount pallet forks to my chain hooks on my bucket? Any thoughts or suggestions appreciated!

 

[Yooperman]

Thanks. I've seen forks that attach to the FEL bucket. I do not think the chain hooks were used in any way. Using FEL bucket forks would make putting them on quicker, but I am sure they could not lift as much weight. And, personally, I'd be concerned with bending the bucket where they attach from trying to lift too much weight. Good luck.

Hi Yooperman,
Your forks are the best I've seen. Kudos on the Kubota forks.... I was looking at the last picture you show with the detail of your attachment point. What are the details for the weld where the PIN goes through the mount point on the U channel for the hydraulic arms on the BX25?

Thank in advance..Ron

Thanks for the kind words. If I remember correctly, I took the placement for the mount point directly off the FEL bucket. In other words, I measured the distances on the bucket and just replicated them for the forks.

If that doesn't answer your question, I'll try again.
