Tested the forks. Works good.


 

Another lift went well with two logs:



 

Tried pushing under the third log and lift, but hit a stump and kept pushing! Bend the fork!  I guess stumps do not give much!!


 

So, for the rest of the work, I just used the 4X1 bucket

Sorry to hear that your forks bent like that. Tremendous forces are at work with heavy equipment. I attached a pic of my CTI forks i had mentioned earlier. That 5 way bucket is really cool and may work out except for the really biguns. Ernie

Hey Ernie, do you recall how big that one was? I assume close to 36 inches.
Lovely log there.  You got pictures of the lumber you cut off of that one?

I am going to fix the fork and update it a bit.

Watch them stumps.  :D   I know the feeling ::)   Either get something smaller to put the forks on or be more careful. I'm one to talk.  :D

That log was a dead ash, one of a dozen;  a few are even bigger. They are still sitting in the pasture awaiting their fate. Im still working on getting buildings put up. The site dozers are actually starting next week as long as it quits raining long enough.
