    Tried out the new bucket forks and got a little bit of cutting done before the rain hit this afternoon.
    The little tractor is coming in handy. [​IMG][​IMG][​IMG][​IMG][​IMG]

    I ordered them direct from Titan. They were on sale with free shipping. Cheaper than Amazon. I got the shorter ones and think they will work okay for me. These are 1500 lb capacity but they make heavier ones.
    Get the cross brace with them as it helps keep them in place.

    Little tractor is somewhat limited but so far has done what I wanted. Won’t do all a bigger tractor will do but if not in a hurry it sure comes in handy. I wanted one years ago but couldn’t justify the expense until I purchased the 40 acres.

    Glad the forks are working out so well. Titan seems to be a good company. I've looked at the grapples they have, next project sometime in the near future.

    Reloader great improvement to tractor.
    I did the same thing shortly after buying my tractor. The forks really help with moving things around and cutting at waist height!
    Titan also sells a clamp on ball for the bucket . Makes moving trailers around so easy!
    Titan also sells on eBay.

    After using the clamp on forks for a couple of years. I changed the bucket and loader arms from pin on to quick attach.
    Cut the tabs off bucket and welded quick attach plate to bucket and modified loader arms.
    Cost a little bit but allows heavier lift and easier to swap from forks to bucket

    Not saying you should do this but worked great for me!
    Glad you got forks for your bucket.
    Tractor is like having a work crew in yard to help you!

    I'd imagine chiropractors and back doctors lose a lot of business to these little tractors.

    The SCUTs (sub compact utility tractors), regardless of color, sure are handy. I have a similar sized JD 1025r with the front end loader, forks, a rear carry-all, mower deck, snow blower, land plane, ballast box.....
