It's a real pain for me to remove front bucket. I would just as soon have a colonoscopy than remove front bucket to put forks on. So I made slip on front forks, held in place with a 1/2 bolt. Fast, easy to put on and off. I made them from 7 inch used channel. I can move closer, just have to make another 1/2 hole.
I also designed a bracket to use landscape rake on front forks.
The combination of front forks and rake make it very easy to pick up sticks and put them in dump trailer to take to burn pile.
Yes, slip on forks may not allow you to lift as much, but you can still lift the rear wheels off. I included picks of loading 4 ft wide slabs of concrete. I had to break them up into lengths less than 6 ft. Trailer is 6 ft wide.
