Has anyone mentioned cow tipping yet?
[just asking]

Not that I've seen... however I don't think that moving dead livestock has been mentioned.

When I had to have my horse 'Jack' put down, I used my forks to gently place him into the grave that a neighbour (with an excavator) had dug.

This 700(?) lb rock has to go in a guy's trailer and the best way is to just pick it up and put it where he wants it. Forks are perfect for loading things. Normally, I would put the rock on a pallet and load that way but don't have one at the moment. Rock is all loaded and ready to go so when he gets here it's a quick job.

Tore out a deck saturday, forks made it easy to cut large portions out and move with the tractor.

4 people and we completely finished a 24 x 48 deck, loaded onto a trailer and moved within a 7 hour workday.20201003_114030.jpg

You only move the outhouse FORWARD. Never back!

Makes momma madder than a wet hen to step in that pit on a nightly trip out to the outhouse.

We just moved the seat to the other side when the poopsicles got to tall. Also, by being old, we didn't have styrofoam to keep our tushes warm on those cold outhouse runs.
