Well back at it with this mini loader. Now it's pallet forks. Have been needing some lately and will need them to move burn barrels. Moved first one with bucket but second one is a steel 55 gal stock tank with is wider then my 36 in bucket.
So I started picking up parts around the farm
Finished product
Bottom tube is 2x2 not sure which thickness.
Upright are 1 in unistrut and that is where my pins will go in for the loader. Cross members are some bed frame angle.
Forks are some 1 in black pipe. Had to grind the end some to get it to go into the 2 prices of angle welded together to make tube steel
Not to worried about bending the forks cause I have problems just picking up a 6ft backblade in the bucket before and that's with counter weight. Now I need to make brackets to hold a few truck rotors for more counter weight
