Homemade Attachments for Forklifts Skidsteers and Other Equipment

I am sorry to hear that.
No worries.

Sorry, no. Other people have ruined me for sharing files. I typed out a long explanation of what happened last time but deleted it because it doesn't matter. Just know that I've been burned by being nice and just don't do it anymore; its not worth the constant questions about my drawings, the fact that my drawings aren't cleaned up and just ready to burn, and the fact that others have taken them and started mass producing them when the original deal was "just for personal use".

can conform this
solid no when I am asked too

just looked the other day, guy on eBay still has my stuff for sale for like 10+ years now

I share every file I make and can confirm fitment and utility for purpose of. I don't want to be in the mail order parts business so I'm not losing anything as far as I care.

real neat
if I don't get around to making a power rake I might make one of them instead

I’m curious how they attached the high carbon teeth to it.

probably just some preheat and postheat, same as you'd weld anything with a lot of carbon in it

Any chance you would share the .dxf on the X-change brackets?

Meh, it ain’t that hard to reverse engineer what he built if you need one. I do it all the time but almost always tweak things to work for my purposes.

I made a lifting boom attachment last year but just modified it the other day. I installed a hitch receiver tube on it to move my trailers around. I made an attachment that slid over one of my pallet forks but I beat the shit out of it two years ago pushing my 16,000 gvwr tag trailer around our farm hauling deer stand around. Its still usable but I’m tired of dealing with it.

So the modified boom works great and I wish I did this before.

Run your tubes the other way front to back and you could bolt some replacable teeth to it real easy. I have a bunch from some ancient beet thinner that would work awesome for something like that.

That tool works great in good soil conditions. Go to a Ricky environment like where I live and those teeth will need replaced due to being knocked off and or just wore out. I’d love to see a video of it operating for a long period of time here.

I love the Harley power rake attachment which uses welded on carbide pick teeth like those on an asphalt/concrete road planner attachment has. It breaks up dirt clods and allows you to windrow the rocks, sticks and debris to scoop up. It’ll look like a dirt golf course when done. I’d have to look at old photos from 25 years ago when I cleared out several hindered cedar trees including their stumps. Looked like a war zone with holes everywhere. I graded out with a bucket then used the Harley power rake attachment. I love that tool as it works when you’re traveling forward. But they are very $$$ today. It’s best to rent one on jobs unless you have a business and need one. Rule is if you rent something more than four times a month you better buy one.

Manual attachments like that dirt leveler rake thing have their place but it’s not new bumpy any stretch of the imagination.

I drew up DXF files on this attachment several years ago but I can’t find the thumb drive I put it on

A buddy wanted to build one and sell them too. We bought this one for our farm through a rental purchase deal. It was new when I got it. I’ve used the fawk out of it and it’s by far one of the best grapple attachments out there. Has replaceable teeth on the shanks.

This is a wood pile behind my shop I stacked with it but that’s easy work for what I really use it for at our farm. Ours is 96” wide.

Needed a grading bucket / loose material bucket for my mini... knocked this out over the course of a few evenings.

My little SWAG press brake is only good for 18" wide and this is a 36" wide bucket so I did it in two pieces. My plasma table is also only a tiny little TM2x4 from back when Bill still was building them; ie before Lincoln bought the line and disowned us small time guys.

Not quite done but you get the idea.

FIFY 😉

Untested fork attachment for a coworker’s mini ex.. I’ll give it to him this week for testing. Still need to cut some caps for the end of the tube so the forks don’t slide off.

Pin or bolt something so they can get swapped out easy after they get bent.

It’s gonna bolt on to the end of the tube.. just a flat plate with a hole, held on with a 1/2” bolt.. there’s a nut welded inside the welded on end cap.

What’s he planning on lifting with those?

Not a lot.. I figure it’s good to 1k evenly loaded. It’s a mini ex.. Kubota about 8k machine.
