I built your fork attachment and it works REALLY well. What a great idea, thanks for sharing.

OMG, Genius designs! I am going to make myself that level indicator! Well done, you should get a patent on some of these things.

Thank you very much for your fork mod. I have my forks separate and they twist from time to time. Great mod. 👍

I have to say that over-the-bucket pallet forks setup looks pretty dang good. I might try to make my own bucket level indicator for my BX...kind of hard to judge what position the bucket is in when its down on the ground for scooping out of a pile, or other type of work where the bucket or even the pallet forks are level.

@oldretiredguy Жыл бұрын

Thank you for your comments. The over the bucket fork set up works very well. Much faster than quick disconnect. You never have to leave the seat. Yes, the bucket indicator was a fun little project that works very well. Good luck with your project.

The forks look amazing! That is one of the nicest mods I've seen. It the HST lever you made gets in the way, you can always hook your toe under the pedal and lift to go backwards.

The fork lift mod looks great! what a great idea! with a 3rd function you could make it a grappel with forks!

@oldretiredguy 7 ай бұрын

Thank you for watching. Thanks for the nice compliment. If the machine were a little bigger maybe.... I like the machine because it is small and I can pick items up with the forks and run them in and out of my buildings. I have larger tractors for the heavy lifting, stump and brush removal etc. Thanks again,

@dannygoldman8216 5 ай бұрын

The forks are really really impressive!

@oldretiredguy 5 ай бұрын

Thank you for watching. The forks work great. I use them every day. I am only limited by the weight the tractor is capable of lifting.

@peterbarlow8912 4 ай бұрын

Let see you pick up a pallet with those tines. How do you get those tines under something when the back half is in the bucket? Forks mounted forward on the bucket give up significant lift capacity. The bucket angle indicator is useful on flat terrain

I pick up pallets and empty IBC Totes everyday. I also scoop up brush piles and other items. No problem at all. I have larger machinery for larger jobs. Thank you for viewing.

Thank you for watching. There is a metal supplier one hour from my home. Joseph Fazzio in Glassboro, NJ. A wonderland for metal fabricators.

Thanks for responding. I have no metalworking or welding skills so I would need a finished product I could bolt on. I can see where not one size would fit all but would love to get one for my open station 2021 MX6000. @@oldretiredguy

@@keadog1838 If your location was close I would help you build one. I could not build one site unseen. I am not sure where you could get one for your tractor. What I do know is that there are a lot of operators who wish that Kubota engineers designed something different for forward and reverse. I prefer a shuttle shifter on the steering column. Good Luck!

That jump wire for starting- does it affect the safety of the PTO? That is, if you get off with the blades running, will it continue to run or shut down like from factory?

@oldretiredguy 7 ай бұрын

Thank you for watching. I am not sure if that wire cuts off the mower deck or not. That is a very interesting question, I never thought of that. I have removed my mid-mount mower and intend to go with a 3-point hitch finish mower instead. I am sorry I have not been more help.

I wouldn't try lifting the max weight with those forks extending the weight out further and that seat bypass is a No Go for me.
