Git 'er done... put a fork in it!

[dragoneggs]

Thought I would post a thread where we can share our pics of interesting things we have done with our forks. I am loving mine now and continue to find so many uses. Post your pics!

Moving a large custom fire pit...


Ever play Jenga with them?

Some landscape timbers I was going to send to the landfill, but decided to keep a little longer.



I've been sticking everything on pallets lately.

These forks are only 24" long, But they made a big burn pile.

Here's the obvious for lifting & carrying. Lift the planks up so my wife can put them on the house more easily. (I always try to do nice things for her. :laughing: ) I also put a piece of plywood on the forks and lifted the shingles to the roof so I didn't have to carry them up. Note: She's been immensely helpful in doing whatever I needed her to do while we build our cabin. She was even up on the roof with me while we put the shingles on in the summertime.



Here's the gin pole (slides over the forks) I used to set the roof trusses

Moved this large, long dead, poison ivy covered pine so I didn't have to touch it.

I even cheated, had my brother (who doesn't get poison ivy) cut it down for me haha!

Edit: that's a proper forklift carriage I got from work that I simply chain to my bucket until I convert over to SSQA. That's why they look kindof funny and perhaps even a bit crooked!

Did you increase your Hydro pressure? I'm surprised that Loader lifted that weight.

Some 4 ft long white ash moved with Jery's forks on my BX2230. Jon

Nice! Curious if the log was dry or fresh? That looks heavy.

Whole tree was down for about a year, then dad and i cut it up and dragged out chunks. On another post here i figured rough weight. Don't remember the number, but I was impressed. Jon
