Read articles →Part one of a DIY series showing how a professional welder built quick-attach pallet forks for his BX23S using 5-inch C-channel stock. He walks through the cuts, notching, and tack-welding that form the frame, with specific dimensions like the 44.5-inch rail length. It's rough and in-progress, no finished forks or loader test here, but useful for anyone considering a budget homemade fork build.
The creator states he is a full-time professional welder, so fabrication advice carries real-world credibility, though the channel appears to be a personal hobby/project outlet rather than a tractor-focused resource.
A ten foot piece of five inch C-channel stock, cut into pieces for the top and bottom rails and sides of the fork frame.
The rails were cut to forty-four and a half inches, though the builder suggests forty-four and three-quarters could give a bit more space.
A Harbor Freight Titanium 170 MIG welder running on 110 volt power, using 90/10 mixed gas, which the builder calls impressive for the price.
No, the frame is only tacked together so far, not fully welded, and this is part one with part two covering attachment.
