Pallet fork advice

[Redlands Okie]

Just be real careful to not overload them. Once you learn the overload point and bend the bucket you will have the choice of spending more money for fixing and / or replacing. Or the choice to use a bent bucket over and over and over. A bent bucket is a attachment that is really good at constantly reminding you of how much money you thought you saved and an incredible pain in the backside.

2ft wood be suitable for sawing into lumber maybe even veneer. Ash would be like oak, other than I think ash has a straight grain. We dropped on at dad's and I proceeded to cut it for firewood pieces. Afterwards the red light came on saying I should have cut them in 102" sticks and had them cut for furniture projects etc. I did that with some white pine and cedar from his place. Nice free project would. His ash was also ash bore bug. Jon

Once you started cutting, there was nothing you could do to save your ash! :laughing:

Those will be much better than clamp on forks. They will also let your tractor pick up heavier loads since the forks are closer to the FEL pins.

The more expensive pallet forks let you adjust the width of the tines. I set them wide for better staiblity when lifting logs.

I have those, and I really like them. Very heavy duty, good quality and FREE SHIPPING! Not adjustable for width, but I don't care for my needs. I made a bolt on attachment out of some scrap angle iron I had to convert them to debris forks. I paid $251 during a 10% off sale which they seem to have with some regularity.

thanks everyone I appreciate the feedback, didn't know they run sales thanks
Airbiscuit cool mod, I think these will come in handy picking up parts of the tree so I can cut it with the chainsaw. Now trying to figure out how to ship them to the farm or talk to my neighbor and see if I can have them delivered to his house and pick them up

Very true, sounds like lumber quality wood rather than burn wood. I'd be hauling them to my buddy's mill.

I wonder if ash that has had borers is sought after like some other bug damaged wood.
