Moving a ton of pellets with my 3 point hitch

[roadhunter]

If I was sure I could move a ton then the next question is 3 point hitch forks or a adapter to use my nice front forks on the back.

You certainly can. Put the bucket on the front and pull up to the pallet and put about 500 pounds of pellets in the bucket. Then grab that snazzy $200 3 point fork set (You will likely find other uses for it anyway). Back that puppy up to the pallet, raise the 3 point and you will be able to move 2,000 pounds of pellets with your tractor.

If it were me, I would either find a set of 3 pth forks I could borrow or buy from a place that understands you will try them and if not happen you can return for full refund and try it. Based upon the specs on rear lift and you having fel on the tractor and if the pellets are do not extend back far and if the ton of pellets are not in a box that weighs a lot..(enough if's?) think you will be loaded but fine. Not sure if industry specs or not but at least on my JD and Kubota those tractors give 3pth lift capacity at 24 inches from pin location is about how it is worded. As to the forks you are pushing the weight limits here so you do not heavy forks and I think if you get 3pth mounting plate to use the forks you now have you are eating into the weight limit. The mounting plates I have seen are heavy. kt

Why not just put 2 pins and a top link bracket on the forks you have, then give it a try.
