I bought one of these hitch setups for my forks. I will use it to move my log splitter around. I have a weight box on the back which has a hitch but its hard to see.

I've not seen those before. Good purchase ! You can do a lot of stuff with that. Even more if you had a pair. Could clamp boxes, cages, extensions, and all kinds of of stuff. Turn your forks into a Swiss Army Knife. Turn it over and you still have a fairly smooth top surface.

How’s that work? Was thinking about getting one. Does it stay clamped on forks good?

I have one of these several years now. Very slick for quick hitches. I too have a hitch on back of my winch but this is great for quick manouvering trailers, splitters and stuff. Clamps on with a twist of the lever. Since the fork is tapered it can slip off when pulling backwards if not tightened down securely. When in doubt I chain it from the rings back to the forks backstop. Caution when pulling something up hill!
In Canada available at Princess Auto.

Are you going to ship the fir or saw it up for lumber on your new mill ??

Send it to the mill. I don't produce anywhere near what you do, I cut a few hours a day on weekends. I hope to take some time off this week to finish the 9 cord load, I can't get a truck here when my roads icy.

I had a chance to use the hitch on the end of the fork today. It works a little better than I thought. I’m not sure but I think everything works backwards compared to backing a trailer when driving forward with it but you catch on pretty quick.

No problems with it wanting to come off but I was only moving a log splitter.

I love mine. Use it to move the wood processor. Easy peasy.

Yeah, backwards but going forward I know😂.
Being out so far in front you will notice wild lateral swings with small steering inputs. Also wild ups and downs on rough ground.

I had a weird thing happen today.
I'm slowly working up a load of fir studwood, and today was cutting a
new trail. View attachment 837419I had dropped the fir in the foreground and was limbing it when my hard hat suddenly went flying, landing about 8 feet behind me. I looked and looked for a springpole but couldn't find one.

I took a break, then went back and looked again but never could figure out what happened.
Were you using your uniforest winching that stuff.
