Anyone ever see anything for 3-point to move a dumpster.

I need to move a dumpster a couple of times a week.

Think a 3-point is strong enough for a loaded 1-2 yard dumpster?

Sorry, It's a little 1 yard dumpster that will usually be filled with household garbage. Nothing too heavy.

I'll be moving it about 50 yards with an IH 504.

I'm thinking one of these 3-point forklifts will do the trick, but wasn't sure if 3-points were meant for stuff this heavy.

I was thinking chains on the loader which is rated at 2000 pounds I think, but that seems like it would be a pain.

Need some more information? What make and model of tractor are you using? We move our dumpster around at work with a 3500# rated forklift at times. A 3 point set of pallet forks should do the job if you dont have to move it too far too fast.

Depends on your tractor, whats in the dumpster and whether you are lifting and moving or emptying the dumpster. If you are just moving it nearly any tractor could just drag it around.
