I made the mistake of telling the :wife: that I intended to buy a set of commercial forks.

:pullhair: :violin: :headbash:

Rookie-level unforced error.

My forks are 36". Wish I'd have 42" but I've put the 36" through alot of work. They have moved several hundred logs. They have also kept me out of trouble. The 36" does the job for me though. Mine were meant for kubota and I cut them up to fit.Image

This is my simple multipurpose head . It holds my bucket . Have 2 tubes ( forks ) seen that are now bevelled at the front and stepped down at the back to be flush with the bottom of the receivers. I put a trailer receiver in the centre top for easily manoeuvring trailers . I use it all the time to pull t-post . What I lack in width adjustment and looks it makes up for versatility in other ways . At the time it only cost me $40 in material . Just ideas for those on a budget .

Ok, it turns out that :wife: ain't no dummy. I held off on buying the set for 175, based on a request to "think about it overnight". Fair enough.

And now this morning, there's a set available the same distance away but for $50!

Smart woman I got there.

I've done "went went went!"

42" forks for $50. "Back rest" for another $10. It's all bent up, but in a way that will be easy to fix.

Hooray for me!
