What else do you do with forks besides lift pallets?

Removed an old landing.

Had to dig out the old post base.

How about moving rocks. Dug this one out with the backhoe, but coould only drag it with the front wheels off the ground. A loaded bucket off dirt bring the front end down. But getting under the rock with the forks I was able to pick it up and move it. Other pictures shows it resting on a log while waiting for the wife to come home and tell me where she wants it. Would like to stand it on an edge if it is stable. This is one of many rocks dug and moved.

That's a Keeper! You need to dig up its twin. Envious, I have to haul all mine home.

Moved a 2000 lb damaged culvert that I set in the wrong place. That puppy was heavy.

I am buying a set, if I can find something decent, to move brush.

I have piles, slide the forks under, strap the brush on.

I have a cabbed tractor so I bought 48" Forks. At least now I can see the fork tips. I need to get my camera system installed this winter for even better vision.
