( This (if I can get it to paste) is from the J.D. Owner/Operator forum regarding forklifts "JD pallet fork equivalent?", or some thing close to that. Heres a link that you might find interesting from a safety viewpoint.

Not sure that worked and still can't figure how to shorten links to a couple of words.

Tom, what you do with a looooong link is to copy it, then go to

http://tinyurl.com/

and paste it in where they tell you. The site returns a short URL that you can then copy and paste here. It's a free service, and you don't even have to sign up to use it!

And the links never expire, or so they say.

BlueRidge,

Thank you. I'll try "tinyurl" the next time I post a link. Each time I try the "formula" to shorten a link I must type something wrong as it never works for me. I must be losing what little computer savvy I once thought I had.

Or just click on the URL just below the Post box in the Instant Markup section next to the smiley faces.

Prices are still way high. $595 for base unit and $495 each for boom pole and pallet forks.

Hey guys I've been a dealer for their products for about 6 months now at southeast Tractor Sales here in Ky. and are
very popular items among locals here. As for the price
I know the company and the people......they make the best
quality items (well built, double welded and baked on powder coated finish as good as my truck) I've ever stocked.
The owner is a "good ole boy" and guarantees money back if unsatisfied with product.
As for safety most people have common sense enough
to realize those are promotion pictures showing capability
of products. But are good for showing unsafe conditions as we
can see. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

(

I see that a trailer ball is mounted on top of the carryall, allowing maximum leverage to flip the tractor doing the towing. Maybe thats not the intent of that ball hitch, but somebody would use it that way. )

The trailer ball is mounted that high to facilitate moving a GOOSENECK trailer.

But everything else is all wrong in the picture! /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

Not to sound antagonistic, but a novice wouldn't know any better. Running saw or not, the guy should be wearing basic proper equipment for demonstration purposes; at the very least lose the shorts.

Oh PLEASE, at least substitute chaps. The thought is enough to make me cringe. Ofcourse, if one's intent is to join the Vienna Boys Choir, cuttin wood sans shorts could be a surefire method of singing saprano, if you survive. /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

All right, all right, point taken. That pic reminded me of watching the news last year with my parents, of Floridians cleaning up huricane damage. One weekend warrior was actually out there cutting his blown down ornamental tree up wearing shorts. Maybe I've been brainwashed but I won't even start my saw up without either chaps or pads. Just like many here won't get on a tractor without fastening their seatbelt. A chainsaw has been aptly described as " the most dangerous tool ever invented."

It's also the most profitable tool I've ever owned.

End of sermon, please pass the collection plate.
