Double ended forks mod

[Aquamoose]

I bought a 48” quick attach pallet forks from Titan and wanted it to be useable on the back end so I added two steel plates with holes, bought 3ph pins, and voila! It’s so simple that it should be a product offering. Anyone else do this too?

Nice! Great job!

I've been meaning to do the same with my set of pallet forks as well, as I had plans to lift something very heavy just a foot or so off the ground and the 3 pt is way more suitable for heavy lifting than the loader. That heavy lifting never happened so I post poned that mod.

It will also makes it very easy to pick something heavy to be used as counter weight.

Exactly. During splitting sessions, I can keep my grapple on the front to move logs to cut/split while moving filled totes.

Nice job! The hydraulic top link will be real handy for adjusting the forks when backing under the totes.

I realized that it’s tricky to get it dialed in to the right height so I built a 3PH limiter that I fabricated in two hours. I forgot to take pics of it. I could adjust the stops via set screw and all I have to do is just drop it against the stops and it’ll go to the same position, perfect height for the forks to pick up or drop off pallets.

Not pallet forks, but the Speeco UltraFork is made for front or rear:

I added a longer spear for 5x6 round bales:

Idea stolen! Nice implementation.

A tree puller is another candidate for conversion to 3 point.

For SSQA and 3 point:

Good idea. Being a bricklayer I cant lift some heavy pallets with my loader but could with 3 point. Might have to do this during winter layoff.

I realized that I needed an adjustable stop for the 3ph to stop at a certain point off the ground so I whipped this up. One “before” shot ad two “after”’s. Now I can dial the stop settings so my forks hovers just above the ground each time.
