I love machinery but it seems like there is always room for improvements. I made this thread to show some picks of some of my favorites and what I’m building or fixing now. My first entry is a fork I added to my little loader. I have HD grapple bucket but it is heavy, so it cuts my payload significantly. The fork is mounted to my face plate so it can be used solo as a high offset boom (pictured) or it can work with any bucket or forks. The fork can accept any tip you wish to bolt on, I like the spikes on it now. Removal is a two 1” pin job or with one pin change you can tilt it back to a parking position. The original face plate was a Mustang quick connect that I converted to a Std. quick C. I really like the tree spade on it because the combo is so lite, it makes it easy to handle big diameter oak chunks. This combo ,I call the fork fed beak , works great for picking rocks @mike newman. Currently I’m doing a tear down and overhaul of the big gear head drill press I’m picking off the truck. I’ll get some pictures up of that soon.
