I've been fabricating some more 3 pole mounts for a 10 KW PV array, and the forks on the L3301 have been as usual super handy. Picking 6" sch. 40 pipe, 21' lengths, and bundles of 2" angle iron, off the trailer and setting them down with one end in the shop is so easy....... compared to the "old days."
Then I dropped the forks (but left the QA attachment the forks hook onto) and used the built in receiver and my flat bed's trailer hitch to do some close manuvering with my 20' trailer. SO much easier, and safer, then using the truck while backing. The truck does not have a hydro tranny, and with the tracotr I don't have to look behind me. I can creep, in full control, as opposed to slipping the clutch (the Dodge has a manual tranny). Using the tractor one time for positioning a trailer in tight conditions has spoiled me!
