Which do you use more?

[pgmrdan]

Pallet forks or carry all or bucket on a front end loader?

 

[Daferris]

I've used my forks once in 3 years... Grapple and bucket are about equal.
But then I work mostly in the woods or plowing snow.

 

[jyoutz]

FEL bucket hands down. There aren’t many uses for a carry all that can’t be accomplished with the loader. Forks would be the next most used.

 

[Sawdust&Shavings]

Pallet forks or carry all or bucket on a front end loader?

Pallet forks.

 

[John D 2]

For me it's pallet forks. If I need to use them as a carry all, I have a 40x48 pallet that I put on the forks.

Hard to determine if you mean a carry all for a SSQA FEL or 3 point hitch?

If you mean 3PH, I’m not sure you would pick an “either/or” versus bucket or forks. Kind of different uses IMO.

I use a 3PH carry all a lot, as I don’t always have the FEL on and my bucket is pin-on. It’s also often my rear ballast for FEL work.

 

[woodman55]

80% pallet forks, 10% bucket, 10% snow pusher.

 

[NCL4701]

20% forks, 20% bucket, 55% grapple, 5% take the loader off. For a carryall I use a Mule or a pickup.

 

[jimh406]

Bucket, but I also use pallet forks and carry stuff on pallets.

 

[rc51stierhoff]

Pallet forks hands down and that’s for both machines.

 

[Gaspasser]

Pallet forks or carry all or bucket on a front end loader?

Forks 90% of the time.

 

[armylifer]

Bucket 80% of the time. 19% front mounted carryall, 1% pallet forks.

 

[Mrlunchbox]

Bucket and forks. Carryall would be useless in my application.

 

[Bearcatrp]

Bucket and forks about the same in the Sumer. Bucket and 3 point blade about the same in the winter.

 

[mikester]

Grapple and forks

 

[Runs With Scissors]

Forks, for me.

But I will say "it depends"

A few weeks ago I gave my bucket and ripper teeth a real workout.

I rank as follows.

50% Forks
35% Grapple
15% Bucket

 

[S-G-R]

I use the bucket the majority of the time. Forks are on just long enough to move a skid or a implement and taken back off.

 

[mcfarmall]

Pallet forks live on my tractor. I rarely use the bucket.

 

[GreensvilleJay]

hmm.... carryall = pallet forks= carryall ,at least to me....

50/50 bucket/pallet forks

I've used the pallet forks almost exclusively for my projects. Not only to pick up and haul stuff, but always using them for "demolition", breaking old pallets apart to throw away in my garbage dumpster and for "crushing" other things to get rid of. Glad I bought really good quality ones , as I'm always lifting the front end off the ground with the forks while I'm doing demolition to use all of the tractor's weight to help. I've only had them about 3-4 weeks and they look like they've been thru hell, but haven't bent anything . But I think I'll look into the suitcase weights for the front so I can have that extra weight to help break / crush.
