Pallet forks

[cmore]

Not pretty but finally got the pallet forks finished. Have been contemplating them for a while. Bought the forks about a year ago. Used 3/8"X4" angle, 1/2"x5" flat steel, 1"dia round stock (for upper pins), a set of used tow-motor forks and several welding rods.

Nothing a little paint won't fix. They look good!

I love having a set of forks. They come in handy more times than you would think

We did pretty much the same thing with a set of old forktruck forks. They are more useful than the bucket. Slide them together and tilt forward and you can move a very large shrub - up to a 5-600 lb rootball. And not to bad for roughing out a hole in hard soil.

Nice work!

Thanks

So far have used them to move a couple of things. The biggest was a tree limb about 14" in dia. Another toy to play with

Add a grapple & you can really play! Great for moving downed trees & brush.

look nice...but you might add a small roll cage like unit around the rear skid plate to prevent anything from rolling over the plate and hitting tractor.

Nice job. Saving money over buying and ending up with a very useful tool is always good.
