It walks through each fabrication stage, cutting, plasma work, plate notching, reinforcing, and painting, with real material specs called out along the way. Best for handy owners considering a budget build rather than buyers evaluating commercial forks.
Posted by the Chris Of All Trades channel, which appears to be an owner-operator sharing personal hobby and property projects from a hands-on, non-commercial perspective.
The finished attachment came out 44 and a half inches wide, which the builder says will perfectly fit his Kubota.
Salvaged forklift tines bought for $40, scrap C-channel, angle iron, square tubing, and plate steel from a scrap yard, for about $150 total.
The builder says it took two evenings and about 45 minutes on a third night to finish the project, including painting.
The owner says he is very glad he got the quick-attach front end, even though it cost an extra $500 over pin-on, since it makes attaching forks much easier.
