T6 extension handle for the foot pedal, reduces foot stress and allows machine to moved while seat is the backhoe position. Counterweight needed to control constant drag on reverse gear, combined to create a pedal extension to reduce foot fatique.View attachment 680441

This forklift mod just popped up on a Creiglist post... Like this setup over the clamp on forks... Don't need to worry about bending the bucket and you can easily slide them side to side...

Thanks for all the support guys! A few fun factoids from my project -

The FEL fork lift capacity using over the bucket forks similar to the Craigslist picture above, on my T6d 4wd and plywood under the front tires to keep from sinking into the mud, is about 1600 lbs to lift the back tires off the ground, closer to 2000 lbs with the backhoe fully extended for counterweight and relief valve operating. I'm not running any ballast. The CG of pallet was about a foot in front of the bucket lip.

Also I have good measure of useable dirt scooping capacity - loading a 10 cy dumpster which has an actual capacity closer to 8cy to a level load, 24 to 28 scoops depending on how muddy the dirt was. This is a 5' wide bucket on the T6 and getting basically a flat across the top or less scoop (not heaped). That calculates to a nominal capacity of 1/3 cy. I'm dreaming of adding a piranha edge to the FEL to see I can get more but honestly I'm not sure I could move around in the mud with any more weight in the bucket.

Happy projects guys!
