Yup, best invention since the wheel.
Use them for moving pallets of blocks, wood etc., saw buck when cutting firewood, moving around my gas engines, digging out rocks. What can't ya do with a set of forks?

M.D.

I like using them when working on equipment/trucks. I have used to pull engines and remove bodies of salvaged trucks. I would say mine are on more than the bucket. I made them out of a old fork lift that had side shift on it, which is my favorite part.

These are real nice for lite stuff.






They do come in handy

We went to the county fair Friday...... several nice displays by area tractor dealers. Picked up a set of Bradco forks on sale/promo. I've been needing a set for quite awhile, but could never seem to justify full price. I tried them out today moving a ouple granite slab in the yard. Not sure how I lived this long without them !

new use i planted 50 sweet potatoes i dug for two evenings got tired rip my finger nails off so i grabbed the tractor with the forks and placed one fork on each side of the plant and pushed them into the ground and curlled it back and all the tators came up. the kids put them in the wheel barrow and then we moved to the next plant. by the way we have a lot of clay thats why it was tough,

It was rough but you didn't know it.

Today, I used my forks for driving fence posts.

I sometimes chain a fruit harvest bin to my forks, and use it as a cherry picker kinda thing when constructing stuff, with a buddy doing the driving, i have climbed inside the bin and used it to fit iron cladding when building a new shed, to prune trees or to repair gutters and roof.

Saves me from hiring or buying a scissor lift or cherry picker/crane.

And if you drive inside any shed you are building (wait until last to fit the doors) you can affix the roof cladding while comfortably standing up in the bin, just start from one end, get the tinwork on there one at a time - get up above the roof line next to the first tin you just fitted, from inside the shed where you havent fitted the next piece of tin (head and shoulders above the roof level) and reach over the top to fix the tek screws, and repeat. Saves climbing onto roofs and falling off

oh boy the satey nazis are gonna be after you!


i bought a used set of bobcat forks from the bobcat dealer i work at. they are rated for 4000lbs, and is double what the tractor can pick up. i use my forks way more than i use my bucket.
