    Forks that clamp onto bucket

    Thanks for the replies. The picture I posted is just for reference, does not indicated what I intend to purchase. I've had a few idea's on what to build for this "clean up box" but already having some very well built skids saves me enough to get the forks, I'll still strap the box to the bucket...

    Forks that clamp onto bucket

    I want to make a box out of skids for leaf collection this fall, my plan is to use those clamp on forks (you see them on vevor, amazon etc.) I figure at most I'll be lifting 100-500 pounds as I don't really like the idea of clamp on forks but that is all I have the budget for currently. Has...

    Howdy Folks, BX1880 Series The hand throttle lever is become more difficult to move, I looked through some manuals but could not find anything to lubricate/clean it. Also my search on the forum provided little information, but that is most likely me.. LOL If anyone can point me in the right...

    Extreme Newbie w 5 Acres

    I have 5 acres of mostly cleared land. I have the BX1880 and it works perfectly for what I am currently doing. I am not saying get that one, but your budget could be your deciding factor if you are planning on buying a recent model.

    I'm new to the world of sub-compact tractors so no brand means anything specific to me. I went with Kubota simply because the dealership is 6mins from my property. I had a nice casual sales experience, which was good I'm buying a tractor not a Bentley, so I expected friendly service and...

    Some things in life very hard to understand

    All the things many dream of Wealth, success, fame etc. Don't always bring happiness even when fully achieved. There are always two sides to a coin and one is often darker than the other. Terrible waste, a moment of selfish hopelessness leaving a lifetime of loss and sadness..

    When men were men and boys were men!

    Those were the days where if you did not work (and work hard) you did not eat.. Now we live in the welfare age where being "sad" means you get a monthly cheque.

    Pallet Forks for a BX

    I 100% agree, I want a set with a modified skid (Pallet) as a carry all. Plus I am sure when I order materials they will come on a skid (Pallet).

    Side Hustles / Hobby Business

    Great post, thanks for sharing! I know nothing on small engine repair so I not sure if that is a road I want to travel. My barn is not suitable for large storage and/or events (and I don't want many people on my property) I like working, I do it every M-F and most weekends. Perhaps I am being...
