Forks for Deere Tractor
Hi All,
A while back I needed a light weight but strong carrier and forks for my small JD 1 series tractor. The lift capacity on these machines is not huge, and while quite a bit higher than the equivalent Kubota every kg counts. The lightest forks I could buy at the time was around 140kg including the carrier. I really wanted a set of Artillian forks from the USA but the cost of getting them here was prohibitive.
So, I decided to make something that was pretty close to the Artillians myself. Here's a few photos of the build process and the finished product all painted up in Deere green (grey on the forks). The total weight of the finished forks came in at 54kg which I was very happy with. They have lifted well over 400kg many times without issue.
