What else do you do with forks besides lift pallets?

I use mine to move the pump house to work on the well.

Had to use two tractors (and two sets of forks) to move this deer hunting shack down my hill and then lift it for the uprights. Some parts of this move were pretty hairy, like 2" of seat cushion hairy!

What? How did you not drop this with two loaders?

I wish my pump house was that small and I had a tractor to move the shed for a well driller to come in and pull the well. That was 20 yrs ago. 8' x 10' barn style wood shed, jacked up with hydraulic jacks and concrete blocks. Don't remember how the shed was moved away from the blocking. Sliding onto a trailer, maybe? Tractor with long forks and wide spread sure would have been easier. Jon

I remove one fork and use the other to dig holes for new plantings in the yard and orchard. Also works really well to remove small plants or bring a rock to the top to be removed. Ken Sweet

For the major part of the move, my neighbor's M8560 tractor with forks moved the shack. In the 2nd pic, his tractor is off camber and when he tried to lift the entire blind, it would start to lift one of his rear tires; and that's when I needed to use my tractor to lift that one edge of the shack.

It almost too big for his tractor and waaaaaaaaaayyyyyy too big for mine. The next two deer blinds will be smaller and far lighter.

My neighbor used his to help me place our diesel generator in place.

I use them to put the lumber rack and tool box on and off the pickup.

Yes, Digging out stones.

Moving some old Fuel oil.

I ALWAYS use forks for breaking the bead on tires.

These particular forks are also hydraulically adjustable, allowing you some ability to pinch stumps and things adding yet another level of versatility.
