I'm looking for one of those backwards tractor fork lifts, but I don't really know exactly what they are called! What should I be looking for that will differentiate them from one of the regular fork lifts? I want to mount a hay spear on it and use it to be able to stack my round bales higher in my new barn. I've got a 20 foot center, but can only reach my 4X4 bales four high with my tractor. I'm loosing a lot of needed storage space. Anyone have any clues for me. Some model/make or anything else I can look for?

Thanks for all the responses gang. At least now I have some terms to use in my searches and when I'm talking to people. Appreciate the input.

Maybe a Lull Loader, made in Minneapolis? They started out supplying them to Oliver and Minneapolis Moline

They are very popular in UK but 2 things I have noticed.The masted type forklift has all but disappeared in favour of the boom ( usually telescopic) because (a) a mast is a real pain to see around when you are stacking (b)You have very little forward reach when stacking bales in a barn with a masted type, Also 2 wheel drives have all but gone in favour of 4 wheel drive. 2 wheel drives are ok around a yard but pretty useless say when filling muck spreaders in a field.

Aloha, I think this is what you are looking for. The military has a Sky Trak model 6000m but this is the civilian one.

Various manufacturers, it is called a tele-handler. Try a google search.

I belive you are hunting a rough terrian forklift. They are often called a "Tractor Lift". I"ve got 2 I use a CASE 585 and a Massey Fergerson 2500. Use rough terrian forklift for the keyword in your search.

I know what you're talking about, but I too am not certain what they're called - rough terrain fork lift?. I did a quick search and came up empty. Quite possibly they've been replaced by the telehandler which, in my opinion, is more capable a machine. You might check into telehandlers as I'm sure there are good used units of all makes kicking around.

Case has one that is the same as their industrial backhoe, just has a mast instead of the backhoe attachment and of course no loader bucket. As I recall, it was a model 585 and then later a 586 and they usually had a 21 foot lift. We had them in the rental business and they were very popular with the brick mason folks for putting bundles of brick and tubs of mud up on the scaffold.

Here is an example of what I'm talking about. And yes, rough terrain forklift is an appropriate name for these.

Look for a used "brickbuggy" they usually are pretty reasonable, needing about the same amount of work as any used forklift, most can reach pretty high. These are used in the brick/block trade to put the product on the scafolding.I sold a MM made in '64 to a farmer who restored it, uses it, and takes it to shows.
