155d FEL guick tatch or forks

[chevy791979]

Looking to see if anyone has or has a source for a form of guick couple or a form of forks. I'm just wanting to pictures if they are out there. Thanks in advance

Might take a look at the thread about 4 down from this one. Good bit of conversation about the good and bad.

Will do. Thanks

Quick tach would be nice but with a 155d having a lower lifting capacity I'd be open to a set of pin on forks. My bucket pins come out with little effort and it would not lose me any break out force.

Honestly I would mainly get used to hold logs up while sitting and moving logs around (or scooting lol ).

My use may be a little different. For rasseling downed trees in the orchard, I sometimes chain them to the bucket. I have slip-on forks but this is simpler. Here's an old photo.

And a rear forks set I cobbled up from scrap on hand.

Sweet. Thanks. I've thought about rear forks also for a ballast when moving firewood with the loader. I have the OEM ballast box but if I could use wood as the same purpose it would cut my trips to the wood shed down.

What I did for forks for the YM165 - same loader as the 155 - was to go to the scrap bin where I found some angle iron and a couple of four foot pieces of heavy wall steel pipe. I welded the angle iron into the sides of the bucket as you see in the photo. Now when I need forks I just slide the pipe into the brackets welded into the bucket. Plenty strong enough for anything that small loader can lift.
