[QUOTE="ERNIBIGB, post: 935386, member: 3253"] During winter we use pallet forks only on one tractor. They work fine for getting hay out of the barn and putting in hay rings. They stay on there because they are so handy for so many other things. They are not very good for loading and unloading hay trailers. It works best to handle the bales from the side or on their end so as not to try and spread the forks. I also agree with thendrix on the safety issues. Be very careful and keep everything as close to the ground as possible. The tractor we have them on will lift more than is safe so I often have a roll of hay on the rear for extra ballast and try to keep the weight as close to the ground as possible when moving. I have handled many logs and stacks of lumber with it and have had my share of close calls. So again be VERY CAREFUL handling anything with the forks. That being said they are probably the most used attachment around here. I could not begin to list all the jobs those forks have helped with. [/QUOTE]
