What do you do with your forks?

[jrclark]

Ordered a set of Titan forks on Friday. This thread certainly helped with that decision. I've been waffling about what to get ever since I bought the tractor this past summer. Honestly should have spent the money way earlier, would have helped immensely with log stacking. Can't wait to remove the bucket and get the forks on!

You will like the Titan Forks and great Titan service. I ordered a set of Titan 72" fork extensions for my forks. Occasionally I need to pick up something wider than 48" fork length.

Clamped a couple of 5' 2x4's, to forks, to unload newly blasted and painted diesel tank stand from my trailer. The clamps were a PIA and made simple project difficult so, ordered the Titan extensions.

Forks are awesome I'm sure you won't regret them.

What do I do with my forks?

Usually I eat my dinner!

I ordered the quick attach. If I'm going to spend the money, might as well do it right the first time. That was the lesson I took away from this thread.

Depending on how proficient I am with them for my homeowner logging operation, the next mod may be a thumb/grapple attachment for both bucket and forks. I have an unending supply of glacially deposited granite that I'd like to use for naturescaping after our home is constructed, figured the Thumb attachment would make life a lot easier while doing that. The third function cost is prohibiting that purchase at the moment.

JR;

Understand the $$ situation but, if you can get 3rd function sorted out (W.R. Long is great) you should really consider a real grapple. Grapple lid on bucket or forks has many trade offs that you may not be happy with in the end.

My 2 cents worth.

One use I have for my forks are to move and set 310 lb concrete tabletops:

I like the "table":thumbsup:

I'd consider it if our tax return is 3x what we're anticipating.

Your $0.02 is certainly valid. I'd seriously consider a lightweight grapple, but haven't found anything that fits the bill for a quick attach.
