    I don’t have a good pic. I’ll get one. The only reason I built a set was cause none of the local farm stores would order them without charging me 100$ shipping. Pizzed me off so I built some.

    I love home brew stuff, looking forward to the pics. I actually ordered mine from everything attachments. I had to go pick them up from a freight place 20 min from my house, but no shipping cost.

    Speaking of homebrew, i welded the receiver off my 35M winch to my forks so that i could move my trailer around easier. There is some 1/4" bracing along the back that you cant see in this pic.

    Good idea. Can you still get your forks off?

    A guy gave me the actual forks, I bought the notched rail that the forks hang on from amazon. The piece that hooks to 3 point was originally a 3 point trailer mover that got damaged. I have about 300$ in it. If i could have bought one and not have to pay 100$ shipping that’s what I would have done. I use them all the time. Very handy.

    Surprisingly my loader lifts as much as my 3 point. I was shocked to find that out. The big thing is it’s easier on my tractor and more stable.

    Moved and stacked some saw (lumber) logs today. L3710 can pick up the smaller ones with the FEL (rated 1,500#, but lifts way more) but the biggest one was 12' long and about 20+" diameter, so I skidded them off the 3 pt with a choker chain. The whole stack is over 600 bf international scale. Planning to quartersaw the best logs, then flat sawn and beams for the less-than-perfect ones.

    Some will become a dining room table for my father-in-law. Not sure about the rest. I'll probably sell some of it. I happen to have a pretty good stock of quartersawn white oak at the moment.

    Moved about 12-15 ton of asphalt millings (cheaper than #2 stone) to make a floor for our carport/sheep barn. The 'bota did a heck of a job as usual. Now we just need to put on walls, ends and doors. I may have some lumber for that:D
