Forks

[big bubba]

IF you have to lift the weight of the bucket AND those forks, you won't be lifting much else!

yes to above. the lifting capacity of your size tractor will be greatly reduced having forks extended over bucket, not worth the time & effort to modify attachment.
suggesting salvaging the forks & if you want forks, do it right. good luck

I acquired a set of 36-in forks off a scraped forklift. They were free. Has anyone done any modification to put them on to a bucket?View attachment 1796796

I have a blank skid steer plate with 2 pieces of heavy angle iron welded on. You could use regular flat iron if you needed just takes extra welding. The top one has groves cut for the fork locks. It works well, adjusts a little stiff but the forks do not wiggle. Mounted a camera on the front of the tractor to see what I am picking up.

That's a pretty small tractor to put forks on. A skid steer plate would be really heavy. If your bucket is a quick attach, you could build a fork frame to attach to the loader arms.

I just wanted it to use to load a toolbox in back of my truck, I'm able to do that with a bucket although Forks would be easier. I think I will just sell the forks. Thanks for all the suggestions. I don't have a quick attach bucket.
