new brush forks

[Dsmith]

I will be endeavoring to make a set of these as well. I have the rectangular tubing but need a few more design questions answered.

What size angle was used - 2x2x1/8 ? Distance from back angle to the forward one?

What clearance is left of the sides? 1/2" or will that be too loose?

Distance between the bolt holes on bucket?

Prayer said before drilling the holes through my brand new baby ha ha

Trying to get em knocked out quick. Any help is greatly appreciated.

I answered your PM but I think I misunderstood your angle question. The angle iron was 2x2x1/8. The clearance to the sides was maybe 1/4". distance between the holes was about 8" I think. I just kind of eyeballed it.
Thanks for the compliments guys! Sorry for the late replys. I haven't been on the forum in a while.

I like them! Every couple of years I trim trees, and have a heck of a mess of limbs. Your forks look like just what is needed to haul them to the burn pile!

Really like the forks, I have to move trash piles all the time and these will work way better than pallet forks. Do you use any quick attach pins or just bolt them on? Do they flex under a heavy load ??

Sorry for the late reply. I haven't logged on in a while. I just use two bolts on each side. It attaches really quick. They seem to hold up without flexing to just about any load I've put on them.
