Forks Bucket forks

[milkman]

I needed some bucket forks to move some chunks of wood left from logging, and also to move some utility poles left when new ones were put up. I found some scrap metal and all I had to buy was a piece of chain and some grade 8 bolts, I used some of the linkage from the stabilizer links that I had left after I changed to the telescoping links. Now when it warms up a little, I can paint them orange.

Here's another shot. I cut a slot in a couple of pieces of angle iron and welded them to the back of the bucket.

Raynman.
I can lift all the loader will lift. Of course, the load is further forward than just lifting with the bucket. I lifted a 48 in rototiller out of the back of my pickup with it.

They are on the lift arms, there's several threads on the site. If i remember correctly, they were about $60.00 for the parts from Kubota.
