I read a lot of posts about the different ways people move firewood around. Based on those, I built a pallet style carrier out of some 2x6 material to try it out. The carrier is 5' wide by 4' deep by 4' tall. It may sound like a ridiculous question but am I asking too much from my tractor to move that much firewood with the front forks?
I have rear pallet forks but I was only able to load the carrier about 2/3 of the way (rear forks). It wouldn't lift it beyond that level. The front forks were only able to lift a little less than a half full carrier. The firewood is cut 16" long and is mostly oak and maple.
I have a 6' box blade on the rear for now and I plan on building a 1000 lb rear ballast from some of the ideas on the forum. Loaded R4s.
I love the tractor so I may be asking too much from it.
Thank you in advance
