Read articles →A short, practical maintenance walkthrough focused specifically on pallet forks, Mike covers lubricating the sliding rail (explaining why he's switching from grease to WD-40 after grease attracted dirt), greasing the quick-attach levers, and a simple geometry tip for sliding forks more easily. Depth is light but targeted. Best for newer pallet-fork owners who haven't thought much about upkeep.
Tractor Mike is a longtime tractor-industry insider with decades of hands-on experience in the equipment business. He built his channel to help first-time and rural buyers make confident decisions, and his guidance comes from that deep, long-term background rather than a sales pitch.
He noticed the grease attracted dirt over time, creating a chunky, poorly lubricated area that no longer worked well for sliding the rails.
Tilt the frame slightly forward instead of back, so some of the fork weight shifts outward, making the forks easier to move.
The levers on the back of the pallet forks that hook the forks and bucket onto the quick attach need to be lubricated periodically too.
