FEL uses

[JimC]

I had moved my boat to mow behind the RV barn and put the boat on the grass.

For some strange reason my darling wife wanted it moved off the grass so it would not kill the grass,

I thought it would be a good time to use the Kubota (I get a lot of those) and also check out the new forks I had built a while back.

I knew I would have a lot of good uses for the bota.

WOW Jim! You sure increased the capacity of your FEL! /w3tcompact/icons/shocked.gif

Of course, it's going to be a little more difficult doing any serious digging that way! /w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif/w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif

The wife made sure I made the forks removeable,
I have decided to sell the boat, haven't used it in 5 years.

Hey Jim,
Could I see a close up of the forks that you built? I am looking for ideas when I build my set...
Thanks, Jason

Jim, could you post another attachment without the boat. Did you make these. I would like a blueprint. It looks great the way it picked up boat.

Jim,
Ditto, could you please make a px without the boat? I am needing some forks to carry pallets of sod. I would like to know how you had them made.

Thanks

See my post of 7/25/02 and following threads.
I think I have all the information you would need there.
basically they were made with 3 inch structural steel and other goodies from my USED METAL PILE.
Some would say scrap pile, but as a friend with a machine shop said, there is no scrap metal until it is just shavings from the lathe.
If you need precise measurements let me know and I will get my tape measure and send them to you.

Here are the photos I sent on the 7/25/02 post.

Cool a Kubota with a Personal Flotation Device. Do you have scheduled Kubota lifeboat drills?
