Build or buy a solid surface pallet to use as a portable work bench.
It pains my back to work on lawn equipment so I put it on the solid (ABS) pallet and work on it at a comfortable height.

Two times in one week I my forks for actually lifting a pallet. I had a guy give me a good used propane suspended heater that was pretty heavy. He said he managed to get in on a pallet on the back of his truck but we would need four guys to get it out. OK, sure.

I used the forks, scooped it up and had it in the barn in just a few minutes. Job done.

Me & a helper pulled & ran around 1,200ft of rubber hose overhead off of 2 big spools.

Stepping off ladder onto forks then across to another ladder.

Worked great (y)

Tractor, brush hog, box blade .......my 1st gear. But, it should have been tractor,
pallet forks, long heavy breaker/demo bar (used to help line up 3pt implements), brush hog,
box blade etc etc
SSQA makes it easy breezy. Unload farm equipment
off semi trailers, unload heavy cast iron tub for house build, moving palletized generator and/or
3" trash pump, water tote, lumber etc etc just like everyone else.
I can't imagine not having pallet forks.
My point is, for the initial cost and all around usefulness forks should be the first implement purchased.
Just an old man's opinion.

I’ve used the forks to scoop under rocks I’ve hit with the mower to pull them out of the ground and also done the same with small trees and overgrowth like scrub bushes and such.
