Finished my pallet forks, (except for painting).
They are 4 ft. in length, made of 2 in. square tubing, 1/4 in walls. They have hooks made out of 1/2 plate steel that hang on the pivet bar for the gaffle hooks on my loader. They are adjustable to four feet in width. The L of the forks are reinforced with 1/2 strip steel. The Plate hooks was made from stainless 1 3/4 in., water drill collars. (1/2 in wall). Using the deflection fomular found in Machinery's Handbook I figure I can life pallets weighing 2000 lbs, (which is more then I need). Furgure they are safe enough for my uses. The forks will be used on a 4020 D with Ford loader.I will post pictures tomorrow if it warms up enough to paint them.

Hey Kraig,

I would like to see some pictures. I am especially interested in seeing how you connect the forks to the loader. I have a Farmhand F11 and am going to build forks next summer.

Thanks,

Dug

Actually gravity holds the forks on somewhat. On the end of the pivet arm of the forks is flat iron (1/2 in) with a c or u shape and they set on the arm the graffle hooks pivet on. When the grafles are removed, the arms that hold them come down (with hydrolic pressure) to hold the forks in place. I'm not very good at discribing the set up. I'll take the photos come morning even if its tool cold to paint them.
