Tim works through two techniques (chaining vs. digging with forks) in real time, shares a practical tip on keeping the loader low for maximum strength, and briefly touches on charging for this type of work. Best for subcompact owners curious about what forks can do beyond moving pallets.

Yes, Tim uses pallet forks and a chain instead, showing both a chaining method and a digging method to pull bushes out without a grapple.
Keep the loader low, since these small loaders have little strength and most of what they have is concentrated at the bottom.
Tim found digging under the root ball with forks easier than chaining, and shaking the forks afterward knocks dirt off without manual work.
Shorter forks work best; Tim uses the 36 inch version, which he says are his favorite for this kind of digging task.
