BX fork tip

[dodge man]

I was sealing the asphalt on my driveway last Saturday, which is about 600' long. I was using a set of BX Expanded forks to haul the 5 gallon buckets of sealer around. I set a piece of plywood on the forks to set the buckets on. Anyone that has used forks on the front of the bucket knows you can't see what is going on in terms of how level the forks are. I just slid the plywood a little bit to one side so it was sticking outside the edge of the bucket far enough that I could see it from the drivers seat, which allowed me to see how level the forks were. Seems like an obvious idea but one I hadn't thought of.

That sounds like a great idea. How do you like the Bxpanded forks? I bought the Bxpanded bucket hooks for my bx2660 & they work very well. I am just about to pull the trigger on the forks.

I like them, you can't lift anything real heavy, the BX is just to limited on power. What they are really handy for is moving brush, you can stack an amazing amount of brush on the front of it with the forks on.

I'm not sure, but the brackets you have for the hooks should also work for forks, so it could save you a little money to just get the forks and not the brackets.

The brackets for the forks and hooks are different. I rigged up hooks that go in my fork brackets because I was too cheap to spend the money for the hooks.

Yeah, I did the same thing, I bought hooks that just have holes in them so the work on the same brackets that the forks do.
