The video follows an actual work project, moving railroad ties as DIY parking blocks, rather than a staged demo. Best for BX owners curious about clamp-on forks before buying.

No. The straps got cut by a sharp piece of angle iron under the bucket. The video concludes you cannot get by with using ratchet straps and chains are needed instead.
The railroad ties being moved weighed between 150 and 200 pounds each, putting 300 to 400 pounds on the forks, with a box blade used as ballast.
Railroad ties, at about 8 dollars a piece compared to 80 to 120 dollars for a parking block, painted afterward to finish the look.
