If your forks are longer than your pallets it can also be helpful to paint a line farther back on your forks to know when you're fully into the pallet. This helps prevent you from going in too far and catching the leading edge of a second pallet or anything else behind your intended load. I had the tips of my forks painted for the reason you describe and the marker farther back.

I agree, safety first. Tip, always before existing the tractor, lower/angle the tips of the forks/the edge of the attachment ie bucket edge, so they’re touching the ground to prevent catching an ankle when walking by. Forks left slightly up... a common mistake and the high possibility of a bad injury.

Tip of the day. To move your forks closer or farther apart. Put the tips on a hard surface and it will take the weight off the bottom and you will be able to slide them . Showed this to many people over the years on forklifts. You would be surprised how many 40 plus years drivers don't know this.

Great tips. I ordered 48” length ones. They are a mixed blessing for me. They make hauling piles of brush a breeze but sometimes they are cumbersome in tight places. I’m considering ordering a set of smaller forks only since they aren’t that expensive. Quite a few times I have had another piece of equipment die out on the yard like my mower. With the pallet forks on i just pick it up and take it to the garage for repair.

Made a lifting frame for my forks (5075e)with a hook on the end using two pieces of channel that will accept the forks, tied them close together (two rail notches), a steel eye on the end to attach a hook, and a retainer chain with hook to attach to rails to keep it from sliding off the forks when tilting or pulling. Great for craning equipment as they give you a lot more lifting height when tilted back.

Enjoy the video on the forks just thought I would add. I have ran a rough, terrain loader for years on my job and a few years back my company bought a new Sellick s60 for me to use and when they delivered it from the manufacturer it came with 96 inch forks and you talk about a beast to try to operate because we also have a function. It took me a couple months to get ordered but I told him they either had to order, some 60s for me or park it out there in the shed I wouldn’t run it and the money wasted I was loading poultry trucks to go to a process implant and in order to keep production schedule you would have to unload 40 empty cages and reload the 40 cages with chickensand have them leave by the farm within an hour two tractor trailer loads an hour and that’s just to keep production schedule

I converted the 70A loader to a universal quick attach several years ago, so I could use the pallet fork frame for my skid loader. Before that, i hung the forks on the bucket.

You mention using them for lifting round bales. Orientation matters. JD manual specifically notes the safety issue of lifting round bales to the point where they could roll back down the loader and onto the operator. That could also be a plus point for the "headache rack" extension on the frame.

Will incorporate some of these ideas. But it is true when you get pallet forks, like I did only a week after getting my new tractor, you tend to view moving material around in a different way....usually on a pallet now, from fencing to construction material. I have created a stacked shelving system for my attachments because of A, limited space and B, because I can because I have forks. I do sort of wish I went to the shorter forks for weight and space. I have the 42" which aren't bad but do reduce some capability.

I’ve used the tape on the leveling rod, but never thought of the paint on the forks...DOH! Clever idea, thanks for sharing. Also, I have a 4052 cab tractor now, it is very difficult to see the forks and sometimes the 4 in one bucket. I was wondering if using an Agcam camera with monitor in cab would be a solution. Maybe mounting camera on the brush guard frame or the arm of the loader would provide better visibility. Has anyone tried this? Thanks again Courtney, enjoy your videos.

Do one on wiring: 1) Never splice into a wire with a press lock connector, split at a connector or put a connector in and split out of that 2) Don't turn wires sharply coming off of a switch/sensor 3) Chassis grounds never last, run it all the way back to the battery 4) No unsupported lengths of wire that can bounce around 5) Use grommets through any holes in metal 6) Use a connector with a sealing surface (Deutsch connectors are my favorite) 7) Use copper wires designed for the load (aluminum expands far more than copper) 8) Look for a panel mount connector for whatever you're doing. This will make your life so much easier in many circumstances

Also, if you have a “quick hitch” or are going to get one, don’t cut the pto shaft to fit your tiller until you measure your 3 point hitch with the quick hitch attached. I had to buy another cause the quick hitch added another 6.5 inches to the distance from tractor to machine.

I like your usual mantra of safety first so...NEVER use your forks (or mount) for items heavier than the rated weight! Just because you can, doesn't mean you should. As one example of millions I'm sure, almost every car out there can hit at least 90 mph, but that's illegal everywhere in the U.S., so you shouldn't do it. Also, when I used a forklift for work 8 hours a day many years ago, I had to take a class and be certified to do so. You should always have forks that can reach all the way under your load for safety reasons. Safety first! I have learned from, and enjoy, most of your videos. Keep up the good work and stay safe!

The dealer told me to just get a three-tine bale spear and to remove the middle one. Then use this as pallet forks. I'd be afraid of the weight I could put on those tines...

I like the paint idea but I only have green and yellow on hand. Already use tape for the forks. Still experimenting with placement and color. I hadn't thought of marking the rod and moving it to wrap. I enjoy seeing Rosie.

Idea "stolen" from Outdoors with the Morgans: Fuel transfer tank on a pallet, for those whose fuel use exceeds what 5 gallon cans can easily supply, but don't want to install a transfer tank on their truck or trailer.

wolfpack4128 that's about what I'm thinking. Good to hear it's working out well. I'm deciding if I need the mid PTO or not. If so may do B2601. If not maybe step up to L. Could use bigger for 80 acres 'up north' but trailering and using to help friends and family around town will make the most sense overall right now. I figure it's a good plan to work towards another tractor later on. Everyone needs 3 tractors eventually don't you think?!

I AM ASHAMED to admit this but if it will help one other person to NOT be STUPID as I once was it's worth admitting my mistake. Firstly, I am an educated Electrical Engineer not a dummy, HOWEVER, I did do STUPID on a particular day in the past. I was the owner of a brand new John Deere 2520 with loader and bucket about 10 years ago. I was very excited and talked my wife and oldest daughter to sit on a blanket in the bucket for a ride around the block; not high but maybe 2 feet off the road. Once we got on the road and about 300 feet down the street, my knee hit the joy lever for bucket control and the bucket started to tilt down.. THANK GOD, I was able to quickly figure out what was going on and stopped the tilt and the tractor without killing my wife and daughter. I had them get out and walk back home while I parked my tractor and reflected on what had happened; it still gives me shivers to think about. Honestly, there was maybe 2 seconds between recovery and DISASTER I have NEVER used my 2520 in a foolish way since. AND, I am so THANKFUL that ONLY my stupid pride was hurt that day !!!!! Hey, we have all done STUPID before and probably will again but PLEASE don't make the STUPID mistake I did.

Instead of taping lines on the loader level you can loosen the bolt and slide it where you need it the tighten it again

Correct and that is explained in the video. Paint or tape is an alternate method so you don't have to mess with loosening and retightening every time.
