SR, I wonder if your tractor wheels will like the wire baskets better.

Creative solution!!

I must have missed a good reason to not to put the forks directly under the tote. If "One of the biggest reasons is, having to close the pallet forks a bit to move them" is an issue, I would question the forks. Stacking totes farther apart does not make sense to me.

That's what I was wondering too ???

I have a makeshift 3pt fork system on my loader until I get the time to weld up a quick attach setup. I know that it is not easy to drive the forks under the very bottom of the totes plus it digs up the ground. His forks are too wide to fit in the available slots in the bottom of the totes. His forks/ grapple were purchased well before the totes, never having the intended purpose to use these totes. I'm sure he wants them typically set at the widest setting for stability on his main activity of picking up logs. So if it's a pain to adjust for the seldom used metal tote, then a solution to adapt was developed. He really likes his wood totes that carry more, are built to his specs, easily made due to him having a BSM. He also seems to have plenty of flat area to store these totes with the logs sticking out, so I see no downside to his solution. I also feel what works for the few, doesn't mean it has to be for the many. Same reason I hate Congress...

If the wood in the totes is green, staking them a bit further apart is a good idea. It helps improve air circulation

He stores them in an open field so space really doesn’t matter. Even if the forks slide freely which they never do having to get off and move them is annoying.

I don't think the baskets or boxes have that much to do with the wheels, they just aren't that heavy, but I bet having logs stick waaay out to the side does.

No problem, it's easy and fairly cheeeep to make them stronger.

Could you please show me a quote where I complained that it was too hard to move the forks in or out.

IF, you understood the part about drying splits, THEN it would make sense to you.
