Mine are on so much right now that I use them to put out with instead of the spear. Of course they aren't much for unloading and stacking hay.

Some things would be hard to move without forks, like a roll of sod.

If you don't have a grapple, you need forks.

These are 2x2x48, commonly called block forks.

Use mine a lot more than my bucket. I bought some pallet racking from CL and put it up in the barn. Use the forks to put all kinds of stuff on the racks and it really helps save space. Also great for moving wood, brush, digging, busting up stumps or whatever you can think of. You will definitely be glad you bought them.

Its the most used implement except for the bucket. Quick on -quick off. I dug under and moved the 9' x 17' concrete pad in front of my garage last week so I could pour a new one. Moved pallets of paver blocks. Pick up and move logs. Throw an empty pallet on them and move just about anything. BIG labor saver.

Looks like a 100% vote for owning them. I've used mine for most of the things already listed, and also for unloading "curbside" deliveries of large heavy items I seem to order online a bit too often.

Forks are one of those tools that once you have them you wonder how you ever got along without them.

They sure are handy. I did without until a few months ago when I decided to build some to assist in moving.

Prior to that, never had any real use for them as I did have some stub forks that were only ~20" long in the corners of the bucket. Used those alot moving logs, brush, electric poles, lengths of steel, etc. But being short and 5' apart they werent usefull for moving and loading things like toolboxes, 4' heavy metal shelving, job boxes, etc. Thats why I built a set
