Jery Dunn Tach-N-Go and Forks

[stuarth]

Can someone please let me know the total height, end to end of Jery Dunn's forks? I am looking for the vertical length of his tines as shown below with the yellow line I added to the picture below?

Actually I have Jery's fixed forks along with his Quick Attach Tach-N-Go, his Loader Buddy with Hydraulic Thumb, and his hydraulic 3-pt Top Link, which both run off his custom 3rd valve kit. I truly can't say enough good things about Jery Dunn & his Mytractortools.com equipment/service. I find myself using the Fixed Forks quite often, loading & unloading both truck & trailer stuff, moving/hauling root-ball trees, moving brush piles, hauling logs & cut off rounds, stirring up burning pits, & tons of other general use stuff I would have never thought of doing if I didn't have them. They're super strong & light too!! In truth I don't really do anything with or on pallets at all, but boy I sure seem to have those forks on a lot of the time! Swapping stuff on & off is unbelievably simple & fast with Jery's Tach-N-Go. Great system & great build quality, well worth the investment, plus a great guy to work with!!

The forks from Tony at AI2 will work on his quick attach, or pin directly to the loader like my bucket.

Will Jery's fixed forks pin directly on without his quick attach?

Yes they should. I say should because I have not tried putting them directly on the loader arms. But his Tach-n-Go attaches to the loader arms where the orignal bucket pins. And hence his fixed forks attach to his quick attach. And my fixed forks will mount to the BX2230's 3pt arms with a different pin arrangement. Jery's movable forks will not mount to 3pts last I knew.

Correct me if I'm wrong. I don't have the tractor in my hand yet, but this is a photo of his fixed forks. This means it WON'T work with the pin on loader, right? Not with those "pins" being fixed and welded in. He told me his adjustable forks won't, I hadn't asked about the fixed. I'm assuming this is why. I bet he could build a set with pin holes, though. Or I could remedy that myself.

Nevermind, he no longer builds the fixed forks anyway.

He did say he can build items that will pin on with bushings instead of the pins welded into place, but that it would be an extra $100.

Yes, you are correct with that black fixed pin forks. Pins are not removeable. Not sure if his moveable forks go on the 3pt arms now. When I bought my forks, moveable and fixed were available, however, only the fixed were set up to go on the 3pt arms. Sorry for the confusion.

 

[mwemaxxowner]

That's correct, his moveable forks don't go on the 3ph. I thought I might pick up his fixed forks in lieu of a "carry all" and be able to use them on either end for now.

Found it! Bucket weighs 123 lbs. So, Jery’s forks WITH the QA weighs 162-123 = 39 lbs more than the FEL. Small effect, in my view.

And other thought: these figures assume that the forks are sticking straight out, parallel to the ground. As you tilt back towards your tractor, of course the center of gravity changes, and gets closer to the fork pins, and so the lifting capacity increases. Yes?

Edit- oops, already posted that.
