debris forks build

Building debris/brush forks for the Massey GC tractor, using steel scavenged from the crate that the Bradley mower shipped in.

Damn! Take care of that arm! I cut 2 big cedars down past weekend to slab up, and had branches everywhere! Perfect use for your build. I am going to have to put that on my to-do list!

Brush forks are so handy for stuff like that! The poor man's grapple! Yeh, u could use some probably. Btw, I'll never figure out the dig function on the Amico lol!

Great work, Gene! I have never welded anything and don't own a welder, so you did far better than I could. Heal up.

Welding is like driving, it's easy to do, but takes time to get good at. I weld like I'm still in drivers ed.

[@twinbrookacres]

@@pondacres ha ha!

@@twinbrookacres Just real fast, I'll tell you, driver's ed welding is good enough for a whole bunch of purposes, mine at least. If it holds, it's fine for me. If it's real ugly, I got a grinder to make it look purdy. ;)

Nice project and your welds are more than what I can do at this point. Take care of your arm, man. Hope you get use of those forks. They should handle that brush you showed down by the pond area. Great usage of Bradley shipping materials. Hope it's not stinking hot where you're located. It was scorching hot here (high 90's). Full-watch. Have a fine upcoming weekend, G. Don 👍🏽🙂 6/3/22

Hey buddy! I'm sure your welding is fine. One thing I learned, people make too big of a deal about welding...ugly welds, a little porosity, etc. OMG, freakout! So long as it holds and it's for your own purposes, who cares? If the weld busts, weld it again...that's why you got a welder. And if it's something critical, just weld the crap outta it lol! We've had a few days of heat, but overall it's been a real nice spring actually, like a real spring for a change. Yeh, this shoulder of mine is still pretty jacked up, but I'm gonna work on the forks a little bit today anyway. Maybe I'll film a little bit of that. Have a great weekend!

Nice start! Sorry about the arm. Hope you are doing better!! Looking forward to see how they come out. Have a great weekend PA! See ya!

[@pondacres]

Hey buddy how u been! I'm almost done with the forks at this point, but I keep getting sidetracked from finishing them lol!

[@LouisianaTractorworks]

@@pondacres Cool! I hope you make a video of them.

[@theowiththeo]

[@pondacres]

Oh yeh, all the stuff you're doing out there on your vids, you need em.
