Compact Tractor Pallet Forks Tips

- Check out these compact tractor pallet fork tips that I use to make lining up and lifting palletized items easy. Over the years I've learned the hard way that a tractor doesn't really "bump" into things without damage. Just have a look at the pile of broken pallets that routinely make their way to my burn pile because of little "bumps" with my tractor pallet forks. With those hard lessons I've learned a few tips that have helped me avoid the dreaded sound of "snap, crackle, pop" when lifting with my tractor. The float feature is a great feature that comes on most tractor loaders and today I show you how I make good use of it to make up for any lack of skill I may have. Although I'm no slouch, it is tough stuff using pallet forks on the front a tractor when the forks are about 8 feet out in front of you and likely hidden from full view. This ain't no forklift or skid steer, that's for sure. Well hope everyone is doing good out there and is healthy. Thanks for watching folks. Here we go!

Great video, tip and explanation! Best seat on the property right there buddy! I can’t wait to give this tip a try next time! Thanks again Sandy! Andrew from NB :)
Good day Sandy great tip
Great tip. I have forks on my subcompact but not on the compact and that's gonna soon change so this tip will come in handy. Thanks and enjoyed a full-watch. Have a fine Friday afternoon and upcoming weekend. 👍🏽
Glad it was helpful!
I wish I had been smart enough when I was young to buy forks for my tractor. So much effort saved!
They sure are handy from time to time.
Great video. Nice channel as well. Blessings to you and your family.
Thank you! You too!
Nice, I'm thinking of getting a compact tractor next year as I send and receive quite a few things on pallets and have rough ground so I don't have a good way of moving them around at the moment.
Thanks for the tip . I've driven forklift tractors all my life . Love it . I've seen guys smash into pallets many times yet it's easy to see the forks . Then you have the guys driving in too far and hitting the wall behind a skid because they had very long forks and didn't adjust for fork length . LOL . One thing I've learned it's a lot harder to drive a tractor with forks than a fork lift . You just gotta take it slow .
Yeah I'm definetly no expert with the forks and boy oh boy do I hate the feeling of smashing pallets and whatevers on it. Darn Tractor isn't too forgiving haha.
Nice. Thanks. My forks are coming for Christmas. - N Idaho -
Hey Steve! Thanks for watching
Thanks
Float is always used on my DK45SE. Thanks. Todd from NH.
For sure a great loader feature. Thanks for watching!
Good tip, I do the same on my skidsteer, only it has a self leveling mode, and it’s sure handy when moving stuff on pallets, especially when raising the load it’s always level.
Self-levelling sure wold be a nice feature. I've not used that before on any equipment but I"m sure I'd want it on my tractor after trying it.
Good video. I don't have forks yet but i use the float to smooth out the driveway .
Float is a great feature for alot of things. Thanks for checking out the video!
TY!
When I first bought my woodlot years ago I wanted to clean up some areas so friends and family could come out camping. I strapped an ibc tote to the forks on the front of my tractor and used it as a safety cage, with my Dad behind the wheel and me in the cage with good loppers we limbed up a few hundred trees in a solid two days of work. Fiskars power gear loppers were the ticket for this job, but I had seriously sore arms after that one.
This idea is definetly one you'll hear me using in the future. Thanks for sharing!
I really should be working right now.
Hi Bob here,also from ON, thanks for fork tips. I’m sourcing out a set of forks for my 3540 cab model, wondering the length of your forks?
Hi Bob. I’ve got 42” forks and have found them to be the perfect length.
