Slippy, I really like that first picture where we can see how far your locking pins extend beyond the edge of the locking slot. That means you will never have the QA pop off. I think dealers should caution everyone and show them how to check QA implements to make sure they are attached properly. I know I bought several QA implements that needed "adjusting" so they would lock properly. Your forks and spear look great.
Do the bale spear and forks fit on the same backing plate, or are they two completely separate implements?

jinman: They are two complete separate implements. If you look closely, you will see the forks have a step on each side of the frame, the bail spear does not. Obviously, they use the same basic frame for each, but modify it for the specific implement.
By the way, I got the 63" grapple also.

How much did the forklift run? I'm thinking about getting one.

You'll have to post pictures of the grapple in action if you haven't already and I missed it. I love grapples almost as much as the whole QA concept. With a QA your productivity soars. If you are moving brush or loose material, the grapple changes a back breaking job to child's play.

Jim,
We are all sponges for more pics aren't we? It's too bad we all can't have someone accompany us when we're having fun in the seat just to take action photos. I guess we could just take our own cameras and stop for a sec to jump off and see the mouthful.

Yeap, pictures are nice, especially for those who are visual. I would rather look at a map than read directions.
Yes, I sure will post some of it in action. I am having the 3rd remotes installed so I am out of commission right now. Having them put on both my tractors so the grapple and other QA attachments can be used on either one.
I think back on all the stuff I have moved, loaded, unloaded, and how much eaiser it would have been with a set of forks. I move one bail of hay at a time with my rear spear, now I can double my capacity and cut the time in at least half, and all the hours I have spent running a rope or chains around piles of brush to drag them off...etc. So, I am looking forward to making more of my time and getting more projects done faster.
