Loader/3pt pallet forks/Grapple

[michigander]

Yeah, I looked at that. Several reviews say the pins are located too high for a small tractor, and they can't get their loads much off the ground.

I've got it on my "think about it" list, though. I did find a fork attachment online that weighs 50 pounds less, and is a proper fork, and has the pins located much lower. Same price, but $99 shipping. Might be worth it, though, if it works out of the box.

oh you are correct I see the issue.

My carry all is 15 1/2 from ground to center of lower pins.

The issue would be moving top link.

I started building a grapple to fit my pallet fork frame. When I had the plates cut for my backhoe thumb, they somehow got cut double size the first time.

This is the style of grapple I’m building. I plan to make it quick attach by fitting into the 2” receiver on the fork frame.

Got most of the pieces cut today. It will slip into the 2” receiver and be pinned to the top link mount. It looks like I need a 12” stroke cylinder.

Started working on the grapple again. Moved the pivot point down and got a few pieces welded.
