What else do you do with forks besides lift pallets?

I have used a well placed fork to jack a car up for a tire change.

Note the emphasis on "well placed" fork. I know of a guy that did not get it well placed and tossed around $800 out the widow. Just mentioning for a friend.

How tall is your barn door ?

(2) 10' x 10' doors.
I've been using a 40' shipping container for the past 20 years, which was a real hassle getting implements in and out of. The cabbed tractor that I got in 2016 wouldn't fit height wise, so barn dreaming / planning started then.

With my forks on the 3-point hitch, I lifted the end of my workshop container and dragged it 200 meters and across a public road to a new location.

Unloading a 1.3 ton milling machine from the delivery truck.
Pushed the limit of my machine; I had to shim the PRV to get extra pressure for this.

Move firewood and hold it up to cut at a comfortable height and keep your chainsaw out of the dirt.

I am trying firewood bags this winter. BX2230 holding up empty bag while filling from firewood processor. B26TLB moves the bags via the straps on top or the pallet below. Most of the wood is dead ash. Jon

Today was the first time in a year I used my forks for their actual purpose and removed a 350 lb toolbox on a pallet from my trailer.

No damage, easy to remove and an impossible task was made easy. I will always have forks.

Pulled the stairs out of the lake for the season.

@groundcover I like that receiver hitch / hook on your fork extensions

Forks are also nice to lift up your mm mower deck so you can clean it and/or replace blades at standing height.
And do the same with a lawn tractor.
