Need to build a brush pile mover

[rambler]

At my sister's place I had tons of tree trimmings around the place, I was hoping to get them into several piles for burning.

I have chain-on forklift for my loader, put them on and.....

It worked so well, I got everything moved to one pile!

I agree a grapple top would be even better, but, just my simple chain on (I see clamp on type as well) forks worked great. The bucket itself makes a good backstop.

I need to build something to attach to the front of my tractor that will allow me to move a large amount of cedar brush and I am looking for ideas. I have been searching the forum, but have not really found what I am looking for yet. Any ideas? Pictures would be very helpful.

Your material handling applications match that of our Brush Crusher line. They are excellent for controlling brush and getting a safe grip on any lopsided load. You don't have to get off the tractor and use chain, just grab and go. By removing the bucket you get better visibility and move the load closer to the loader for better stability and leverage. Available for small or large loaders and skid steers. The mechanical versions work with what you already have, don't need additional hydraulics, they are powered by your loader's bucket cylinders. Price on mechanical units starts at about $880. See videos at Front-End Loaders by Westendorf: loader for tractor, shade canopy, wagons, manure & landscaping equipment..
