built me some brush forks

[GeneV]

Hey guys, long time no chat! Finally had a chance to use some of that steel which my Bradley mower shipped in, so I built these debris/brush forks with it. Yesterday's test run went great!

Nice! Especially for just some labor. Can't get better than that! Good job!

Really good accessory to have...

Great job on a really handy attachment. Around here all the orchard farmers including myself have basically a bigger version of what you made referred to as a buck rake. It’s main function is Pushing prunings from trees that have been piled down center of rows out to a big burn pile. Angle the rake down with just the tips riding on the ground so they slip under the brush and down the row you go, can move a mountain of brush in a hurry. My rake just quick slips over my front forks a chain holds it on and very importantly supports the load from bending the forks. I also use them to haul stumps /roots. For me they’re indispensable for moving a large volume of debris.

Clever way to reuse a shipping crate - that is a very useful attachment you built

I like the way the frame for your forks is built with the reinforcement shown in the third picture. Are you using solid hay spears for the forks?
