Forks Multi-function QA fork attachment

[clenhart]

I added weld-on chain hooks, a 2" receiver tube and made an 8' gin pole to use on my QA fork set-up that already had pin on forks and round bale spears. This is now my favorite attachment. I find it very versatile and don't know how I lived without it before. The fork frame is made by Aldomi so far has held up to all that my little tractor can dish out.

Nice setup there clenhart. You may want to consider adding a spot at the end of your gin pole for chain to hook to, then you can use your chain hooks and some chain to triangulate the gin pole for more strength. I have a similar setup, and it's amazing how quick you can bend 2" tubing with no support.

Great idea... Thanks for the input. I used .180 wall tubing on the pole to keep it light and tested it at 250 lbs. which is probably all I want to pick up at that distance out from the tractor. I plan on making a shorter version with .250 tubing for heavier lifting.

I have quite a bit of scrap steel just begging to be put to good use
