Has anyone used these forks for moving wood pellets (1ton/pallet)? Did you have any problems? Is the spreader bar a good value add?

I used it to move a couple of pallets in the barn that probably weighed 6 or 7 hundred pounds with no problem. The spreader bars would help because the forks will slide sideways if you tap something against them.

Thanks for the answer. I will be picking up a couple of them. I bought a Remington one at Dicks and when I pulled it out of the wall a door opened and half the pellets went all over the floor. I will have to try this. Thanks again.

I'm happy to tell you that the salad/dessert forks are an appropriate size. You're right though - I have another set by WMF and the salad/dessert forks are a very silly size. I think you'll be happy with this set & it's a good weight.

I was very happy with them. Used them to train a litter of 7. I have them on hard wood and have no problem with them staying where I put them.

Some guys like the sidewinders. I prefer worm drives though I admit that as I approach 70 my strength has ebbed considerably. Even though I think a worm drive is easier to control and more powerful for long rips, I like the relatively puny Festool track saw for shop work and installations. The DWS535 is a better machine for framing if that's what you're buying a circle saw for. That is really what it boils down to: your strength and the work you'll mostly be doing. Framing lumber is never really flat and the extra power of a worm drive lays waste to lumber that wants to twist or pinch the blade as you knock out the work.

Hi Zac, My apologies for the delay, but i actually got rid of all of my Gamegetters. I believe they do fit, since all of my arrow heads (field points, thumpers, and broad heads) easily screwed into all of my arrows in the past. I was shooting XX75s and Gamegetters back then. And these Broadheads I just picked up screwed into my remaining XX75s and my carbon shafts...standard insert. Cheers.

GH- I use a Wright and McGill "Magnum Plug" 10' 6", Medium Fast Action + Heavy Power for trolling and mooching Chinook, sliver and humpy salmon. I've even jigged for ling cod but it's not as efficient as a shorter, stouter glass rod. I'm able to back bounce for steelhead as well. However, it can be alot of pole length on a busy drift boat so I borrowed my sons Okuma Blu Diamond BD-C-762MLa 7' 6" and it proved challenging with a fish on in big volume water. I'm happy with the trade-off of having one rod for multiple uses as opposed to multiple rods. Both of my boys just started salmon fishing so I like the economy of these rods, hopefully they will be durable as well. Hope this info helps-ML

Yes, many people have replaced all different forks from different makers. Regards, Thom in Tech

Seller should be able to give you the models that it fits - it does require the 'quick release' attachment on John Deere equipment. Weight varies according to length of the tines - I got the 42" and I'm guessing they weigh a couple of hundred pounds. The FedEx driver and I were able to move the forks off of the back of his hydraulic tailgate. I drove the tractor out to the street, took the forks off of the pallet, hooked them to the tractor and drove it back to the barn.

I agree with BeeVee. Branches go in great and often self feed themselves through (ensure the plate is tightened down if it starts NOT to self-feed or jams a lot). The slot on top does not do a good job of accommodating smaller pieces. You have to shove everything in with your gloved hands or try to use the plunger thing which doesn't work well. Using a 1-1.5 inch stick worked better for getting things through. You'll probably be better off getting one with a bigger (more open) feed chute.

I didn't know that they had problems. I have used the planer for about a year now and have had no problems. I have found it to be a work horse. Most of the wood that I work with is figured hardwoods. It is very dense wood and is hard on machines. Thus far it has met my expectations and then some... knock on wood. Hopefully others will be responding to you as well so you get a wider sample.

I feel the 18-900L is good for non-production wood drilling but I have found the press has frame deflection and vibration issues when drilling holes in metal with greater than 3/8" diameter drills.If you obtain this drill press I suggest inspecting the column base casting. That part failed on mine. I got a busted toe but it could have been worse. Delta did repair the drill press under warranty but I was on my own waiting for my toe to heal.

"U" type is not to be used with spreader bar. I bought this with the hammock and the second (last) video explains whyVivere Double Hammock with Space-Saving Steel Stand, Tropical

The pair I got has the plastic forks. I haven't had a problem with them, though. I have a cousin who has the metal ones, and I don't really notice a difference in ease of use. I guess maybe longevity could be a concern?

Yes they should clamp on to the bucket. Depending on how far apart your forks are will determine if the stabilizer bar will fit. Had to weld on a piece of square tube to extend mine.

I have a Stihl Farmboss with a 20 inch bar. Works great, but it is a little on the short side for the larger logs. A bigger bar and engine will give you the ability to tackle larger pieces of timber with your Alaskan mill. I am not a serious logger or woodworker, but my setup works well for what I need to do.
