Latest Seat Time

[Canada_CT230]

Here are some pics from my last ~10 hours of seat time.

1 - Pic from the operator seat of the CT230.
2 - Over a 1.5 acres of wild grass that I burnt and tilled.
3 - New firewood pallet system.
4 - The CT230 with the newly acquired pallet forks (used set).

Where did you find your used forks? I have been looking for some. The farmer down the road has an old fork truck sitting outside that looks like it hasn't ran for a while. I plan to stop by there and see if he would sell me the forks so I can retrofit it to a bobtach plate.

They are BC forks. My dealer had them as rentals on their skidsteer fleet. I know that they are heavy and overkill for a CUT but on the bright side I will never over stress or bend them.

I have used them so much in the last 2 weeks I don't know what I'd do without them now.

They were absolutely great to pop out some dead/dying fruit trees. Forks together, plunge in, pop out. 3-2-1 simple!

Will yr tractor pic up that skid full of firewood? Just curious

Yes it will pick that up. Originally tried a 4'x4'x4' load but wouldn't lift. That is just under 3' stack of wood on a 4' x 4' pallet. The wood there is Ash. Lifts it no problem. I have either the BB or tiller on for counter-weight.

Thanks, it does look good. I want to level it a bit more but will do that later.
