First thing I did was bypass the seat switch so I can stand up to see the forks.
I've thought about that.
move your trailer jack back so you won't tear up your tail gate on your truck! It is the best ting I did to my trailer!
I just picked up my 2nd load of 26, 275 gallon totes this morning. I’m probably gonna pick up at least two more loads,…maybe four. They’re not free. But, you can buy a lot for $15 a piece.
Came across your channel a little while ago didn’t realize you’re that close. Roork’s is great to deal with and reasonable prices
They are a great dealer. We are lucky to have them. Thanks for watching!
Nice use of music for the disappointment!! and then the happiness! Great edit.
Thanks for noticing, and appreciating the edit! Happy new year!
Thank you sir for coming out i it my honor to meet you !
Thanks for your help, Dean! Happy new year! -Ed
Paint with a bright color, the 5 inches of each tine (so you can se where you are)
i bought a 40 hp,, ls,, great tractor,,,
Definitely love my pallet forks. Nice purchase and looking forward to your IBC tote wood pile project.
Congratulations on the new forks and a man can’t never have to many tools to make life easier.
Thanks William. You’re so right! Happy new year! -Ed
Wow that's a long wait for pallet Forks my dealer got forks and other attachments stacked 3 High.... now if they would only get some front end loaders shipped in LOL
Road Trip! Watching now!
Thanks Ross! Happy new year!
Thanks for mentioning our channel, Ed. We love using the IBC totes for firewood. You’ll wonder what you ever did before having those forks. I use mine all the time. The forks are what I have on my front end loader I’d estimate 80% of the time. Good choice on the larger IBC totes. If they’re the 330 gallon ones, they make almost exactly 1/3 of a cord stacked to the top. So 3 full 330 gallon totes make 1 cord of firewood. I’m glad you found a supplier for them. They can be addicting once you discover how convenient mobile firewood storage is, and how many other potential uses there are for the totes. Happy New Year!
Thanks so much, Chad. I wish I found the deal that you did, but at least I only have to drive a few minutes to get them. I’m excited to finally have the forks. Happy new year to you and Jennifer!
"One hunnndred dollars". I literally laughed out loud! Also, love the music, style, shots and edits of this one Ed...little details like the zoom-in on the turn signal and "closed sign really worked! Regarding the forks, I laughed because I did exactly what you did the first time I hooked mine up...left the paperwork attached! Figuring out when the forks are level and finding the tips can be a real challenge at first, and I too have bumped the ground with my load as well. But it comes quickly and you're gonna' love 'em! 👍😎👏
Thanks so much Chris! Glad you enjoyed it (and noticed the extra work on this one) 😄
Happy new year!
Love the high back on the landpride pallet forks! Makes your life so much easier when you stack them too tall. Happy New Year!
Thanks very much! -Ed
Love my pallet forks!
Thanks, Tony. I think I already do too. 😄
💥 Pallet forks sure are useful! Happy New Year!
*Keep on tractoring!*
Thanks Jon. Happy new year!
Be sure to weld a few hooks and a D ring on top of frame like your bucket so handy I find myself using them all the time.
Thanks David. Good idea. I’m sure I’ll look into modding it as I use it more. Happy new year!
Happy New Year to you and your family Ed. Looking forward to your 2022 videos and of course the Monday night chats. God Bless Stay safe
Thank you BB. Warm wishes for you and yours for 2022!
Well worth the money for the totes . My tractor, forks and totes have saved me a lot of work... Less touches to get the wood to the stove. Let the machine do the work.👍👍
Good to hear, P Kope! Thanks for the feed back, and happy new year!
Pallet forks are so helpful. Good video.
Thank you, Tony. Happy new year!
Great video Ed. I didn’t think I had much use for pallet forks until I got a set. I use them a lot.
Thanks very much! They will indeed come in handy. I was a bit surprised that they are a bit challenging to use. I’m sure I’ll be comfortable in no time though. Happy new year!
That's a good idea for the tote I was thinking kind of the same thing rig it up for the 3-point make a carry-all out of it to haul firewood up to the house
Just had an LX2610 delivered from Roorks yesterday. Love the videos!
Congrats, Gary! Pretty sure that would have been my pick if they were available in 2019. Happy new year! -Ed
Great video, Ed. I like the vlog style. I'm glad you got forks because I've been on the fence for a while. Now I can see how you use them. :) Have a wonderful new year, my friend!
Thanks David. They will definitely do things that the grapple and the bucket won’t, so they have their place. I can tell you already that I would recommend them! Happy new year!
Happy New Year Ed. I use my forks all the time for a lot of different things. Stay safe and warm. Later
Thanks much! I’m looking forward to using them. Happy new year!
Happy new year, thise totes are awesome for firewood storage but they can be hard to deal with. Mike Morgan weighted it with green wood and it was 1600lbs. But those pallet forks are really nice for odd jobs around the property. Looking forward to Monday nights live stream.
Thanks Andy. Even if I can’t fill them, they’ll be handy. Happy new year, and see you Monday night!
Great intro music and editing! Pallet forks are very handy, 👍 I use mine a lot in the summer. I think a would knock that narrow kubota over if tried to drive it 🤣 happy New Year 🎊🎈
Very cool Ed. I'll bet you're going to get a lot of use out of those pallet forks. Happy New Year to you and your family.
Thank you, I’m looking forward to finding many uses. Happy New Year!
You will for sure use the forks a lot. I don’t have the Kubota ones as the dealer had Berlon forks as the were in stock. I couldn’t be happier. They are manufactured only 60 miles from my home at Hustisford, Wi. It’s one of the go to things I have. Mine are 42 inch forks like yours. The only problem is seeing them, but you will get used to them. Good purchase.
Dr. Evil!
I haven't seen a kubota deal that also carries LS yet.
that 2601 narrow has high pucker factor
Sweet Forks!
Not a bad price on the Totes
Sweet Drive Over shot!
Wow lucked out on getting the last set of forks!
Nice Vid and thanks for posting!
Great video - Make sure you keep the top of the bladder to use as a cover for the fire wood. Sawz-all makes quick work of the plastic and the material can be recycled if you don't have too much dye left over. I have 16 totes from my local supplier all used for firewood.
Thanks Don. These are dry inside, so I think they are safe for recycling. Appreciate the comments. Happy New Year! -Ed
Happy new year. You said pucker for the narrow Kubota...I had pucker when you showed your gas pump! Now that's pucker power I try not to look at total just grab receipt hurts a little less later to look at it.
Your an old pro even at your young age . Love your tune. Real hard to get of my mine. And my garage is cluttered
Thanks Richard. Especially for calling me young! Happy new year! -Ed
Hey Ed, maybe you could paint the tips of your forks bright orange to help you see them. Good video.
Thanks, Paul. Worth a shot! Happy new year!
Our local tractor dealer (8 miles) is an LS and TYM(?). We looked at them first and kept looking, first at JD 40 miles away before looking at Kubota 55 miles from home. We chose the Kubota for everything from price, support, comfort, and dealership friendliness.
I too will be picking up a set of pallet forks. The first problem I have to solve is really not a bad situation. I keep all of my implements indoors but now I am running out of floor space. The plan is to buy some industrial grade shelving and stack three implements in the floor space of one. Of course there are many other uses also.
Great reason to get some pallet forks, Robert! Thanks for watching. -Ed
Happy New Year Ed!!.. No snow & green grass, not the norm for January 1st.. It's -9 degrees with 8" of snow cover here in west central Wisconsin.. Have a nice weekend.. Always enjoy your videos.. Keep up the great work..🎅
Thank you Terry. We just never know here. Mostly mild winters lately but we can still get hit anytime. Especially if you guys send it down here! Happy new year!
@m9 ovich keep it, my friend! 😄
Happy New Year Sorry I missed your last livestream....maybe by me mising your cast, it gave Jon Ritter luck. I heard he won a sticker finally Be safe
Happy new year! Nope, Jon is still in the running! 😄
Happy New Year Ed 👌👍😇 That is giant pile of Mush WOOD 😮 That is very nice LS tractor 👍👌😉 Nice narrow wineries tractor 👌🧐 You will fall in love with these forks and you are pretty good at it move them 👌😉 SO you will be able to put all your OUSTANDING implements on wood pallets for under circulations Sir 👌👍 FULL WATCH LIKE ALWAYS 🧐👌👍 and Can't wait to eat your chocolat bar that you mail 😋😋😋 Have a VERY NICE DAY SIR and thank you very kindly CHeers 👍👌🧐😉🍻
Happy new year, David! Thanks so very much. Enjoy that peanut chew! 😄
@@MyClutteredGarage Can'T wait for It SIr 😋😉👌 Ok now it is time for my morning WII combat dance training 🤣🤭👌😉🍻
I think everyone can agree that pallet forks are very useful, but I think my next investment will be a grapple. I know their expensive and you need a 3rd function valve, also costly but once you shell out the money, a very good implement. Gonna be a great 2022 Ed, Happy New Year buddy.
Hey Dean. A grapple was my priority when I bought the tractor. You will definitely love it!
Thanks Ed and happy New Year. Soon after I got my JD2038 my son-in-law told me I HAD TO GET pallet forks. Wow was he right and I wondered how I ever got along without them. So handy for moving stuff around and brush/log handling. I call it my poor man’s grapple. You’ll learn to watch the top end of the fork to give you feedback on what’s happening up front. On the IBC totes watch out that you don’t overload them so much you can’t pick them up the tote. You’ll just have to experiment with it.
Thanks James. I’m pretty excited to finally have a set. I’ll be curious how the B2601 handled the totes. Happy new year!
I use mine for firewood and loaded the first one full with oak wood and couldn’t come close to lifting it with my B2601. Suggest you load half full and check the lift. If it lifts then add wood until you can barely lift then remove some wood to get it right.
I was cracking up at the " One Hundred Dollars" and again at the closed sign. Great video Ed Happy New Year. I was just sitting here thinking that I haven't heard anything from Rd since last year.
Haha! Thanks Gary. When I did the edit I though, “I hope folks get this humor”. Yes I hadn’t heard from you since last year either! Have a happy one!
Happy New Year Ed. Your gonna love having forks. Not sure what I’d do without them. I get the 275 gallons totes, but that’s only because they are the only size I found around here. Would rather have the bigger ones but ave not found any for reasonable price or availability.
Thanks Bob. Sounds like I made the right choice! Happy new year!
I added a cheap back up camera to the front of my tractor and that really helps see them.
Very interesting idea Jean! Happy new year!
Can’t wait to see all the uses you have for the forks you will find !
Mine are on my tractor about 90% of the time
QUESTION ask your followers on Monday night what they do with their plastic inserts mine were used for mulch die as well and some of them have die still in them so I don’t know if it’s hazardous to the environment and or if you just cut them up and dispose of them after you dump the die.
Other suggestion is the first time you load up the firewood I would only go halfway up and see how your loaderhandles it
Mine will not lift a full load of firewood only about 3/4 the way up at the most
Have Fun
Good video !
Thanks much, Phil. Great questions and comments! Happy new year!
Helpful tip:
Those two forks fit nicely around my big square plastic Trash Cans. ( I got a long driveway ). Try it.
Very interesting, Ted. Thanks!
Yes, grease helps on the 5-position rail.
Thanks Gary! Happy new year!
Congrats on the new forks Ed! Maybe one of those totes would work as a man or woman bucket to do some up higher work! Nice New Years gift to yourself. 😀
Thanks Jim. Don’t temp me, haha! Happy new year!
Nice to see you pulled the trigger on some forks ( nice ones too). I cheaped out on my forks and regret that decision. I looked into an LS tractor but couldnt pull the trigger due to parts availability. Happy new year Ed! -Richie
Thanks Richie! I know they will definitely come in handy. There’s generally not that much tractor time here in the winter because of mud, but I know I’ll use them a lot this summer!
@@MyClutteredGarage The mud is particularly bad this year in Connecticut as well.
Fun fact New Holland’s are rebranded LS
let me start by saying I love your videos and your content. For a guy who just quoted the pucker factor earlier in the video, I'm surprised you're driving around with your ROPS down. Just friendly advice, you need your ROPS when you least expect it. Stay safe.
Thank you so much! I definitely got a little sloppy on this one. No such thing as “just a quick job”.
Heyhey Ed pallet forks are a great addition to your arsenal. I noticed that KTAC must have let you keep the old loader, you should sell it to pay for the forks. LOL Take care
Hey Mike! Happy new year! I’m looking forward to using them more! I’m hoping to save the parts from the bent loader to ensure I’ll never need them 🤣
Do like MJA and make them work on the 3 point, I use mine on three point for moving pallets more then the front. The lift capacity is almost double. Make 1 set of top link hole parallel to lift arms when level.. 2nd top link hole 3 inch higher..
Good idea. I’ll check out Mitch’s setup! Happy new year!
Don’t know nothing about the LS equipment but I’m a John Deere fan ion a 2038R Love the tractor but then forks they work awesome I have a set in the very handy happy New Year’s great video
Thanks Dean! They are kind of all looking the same except for the color these days. Happy new year!
@@MyClutteredGarage no problem you will really appreciate them forks I never knew how handy they really were until I got set 👍
Did I see you actually pumping your own gas in the Garden State? Growing up there it was a super no-no. After being gone many years I was back visiting the in-laws; pulled in, jumped out, stuck the nozzle in my vehicle, then heard somebody screaming at me. An attendant came running from the building yelling STOP! He let me know I could be in trouble and he could be fired - I didn't tell him a grew up in NJ, he saw my Wyoming plates and said there is no self pumping in the state. When did that change?
Nice trailer, can you remove the lift gate? Mine is off more than on. Makes it much easier to load/unload with pallet forks. As Chad said, you will love those pallet forks when you get used to them. Hit the tips with orange paint, makes them easier to see. You just need to reapply periodically as it will rub off.
Hi Jim. The gate can come off. Great point about being easier to load without the gate in place. I didn’t “pump” my own gas. I just removed the nozzle from my truck. I’ve been “yelled at” too, haha. Thanks for watching and for your comments. I love NJ, but it sure can’t compare to the beauty of Wyoming. Happy new year! -Ed
Like everyone else and myself included, you'll love them forks, smart purchase. Hey Ed, do you ever get much snow there and what's your average "winter " temperature. It looks like comfortable working outside weather.
Hi Mike. It’s hit or miss. We haven’t had significant cold or major snow for several years. We used to ice skate on ponds and lakes but they barely freeze these days. We can get some days in the 20’s F but not usually more than a few in a row. Doesn’t mean it can’t happen though! You won’t hear this guy complaining about no snow 😄
The LS tractors are contracted out to the cheapest bidder on part suppliers and manufacturers, Then assembled in Rockymount, NC plant. I think there a Japan owned company. Can’t remember. Been told there good tractors until they brake and you can’t find parts. Just my two cents ED.
Thanks much! I have no plans to buy one, but I have confidence that my local dealer would not jeopardize their reputation by selling anything they couldn’t service or provide parts for. Still, I’m kind of a “name brand” snob for now 😂
And you drive a Chevrolet good choice😊
I've always been a bit partial toward GM and have had good experiences. I've owed all the major brands but only one new vehicle in my life - and that was a 1987 GMC. I bought this 2014 silverado in 2018. That's pretty new for me considering the last one was a 1997 WT1500!
@@MyClutteredGarage newest one I ever bought for the first time was a 2013 now I got a 2016 don't mind the truck hate the payment LOL
I would have taken the toyota
Happy New Year, Ed! Congrats on getting pallet forks. I think you’ll quickly wonder how you ever got along without them. Those are some big IBC totes. What are your plans for the liquid containers after you separate them from the cages?
Thank you, Martin. Happy new year to you and yours as well! Someone in the comments said that the containers are recyclable. I’ll have to look to see if there’s a number one or number two stamped on there. Otherwise, I will probably cut the bottom section off and use it as a lid. Got any ideas?
@@MyClutteredGarage Well, they might be used to store liquid (like rain catchers for gutters) if they’re strong enough without the cage. Let us know what you decide to do with them.
@@DIYMyWay funny, my brother in law just called me with the same suggestion. 👍
I will be curious to see how the tractor handles the large totes when they are full of wood or if the small tote would have been a better fit for your tractor size? Yet, you can always not load as much into the large totes if they prove to heavy.
We have got a set of forks and found lots of little projects that they have helped with. Number one being unloading pallets. The second is using a man basket on them allowing us to get up higher to trim, clean gutters, and make elevated repair.
Boy I’d be nervous using a man-basket. Do they have anything that prevents dumping, or do you just have to be very careful? I’m thinking I will definitely not be able to fill these totes to the top!
@@MyClutteredGarage The basket secures to the loader and the basket has tie-off points so if you would hit a bump or the operator would decide to dump you, you would stay in the basket.
OK, a couple questions: how will you remove the bladders? How often do you have to fill your truck with gas? and How much were the pallet forks? Happy new year.
Hi Margaret. I think the bladders lift out. I may need to hook it to my pallet forks and pull it out! 😄
Lucky I don’t have to drive much or fill up often! The pallet forks cost $800, which is a good deal for a Land Pride product. Happy new year!
I'm thinking of getting one to water my trees young trees. I need to get of rear forks of something to put it on the 3-point. I wonder if there is a cheaper option.
You can find “food grade” totes that would be great for water. Keep in mind that 275 gallons is 2,200 pound. So depending on the size of your tractor, you’ll want to limit the size or fill level. 3 point forks may indeed be a great option for this application. Happy new year!
It look like to me by LS tractors have a pinned on bucket I definitely wouldn't want that
I saw that too. I’d hope they have a SSQA option. Thanks for watching, Tim!
Isn't the 2401 made for vineyards to go between the rows? I would have that thing flipped in no time, I live near the Smoky Mountains in the hills of SE Tennessee. My 2601 is wearing 3" spacers in the rear with Rim Guard and 1.5" on the front. If anyone is considering this it helps tremendously. Something else that helps is the Gorilla Tailgate Lift for trailers. My tailgate is heavy and the lift is set on half power. It was easy to install and saves an old man's back.
Another thought on the totes for firewood. What if ya leave the tank inside the frame for a covering your wood? Cut the side out as in the original plans just cut the tank also. Maybe leave a few inches of plastic on the top and sides to retain the shape and for strength? Happy New Year
All great points. Makes sense what you say about the B2401. It’s pretty flat here, but I’d still like wheel spacers. Interesting idea about the tote. People often cut the top off and use it as a lid to cover the wood. That way the air can still flow through and season the firewood. Thanks for watching, and happy new year!
@@MyClutteredGarage I'm showing my inexperience with firewood I didn't know ya seasoned it. We've had the sliding doors open all day trying to cool the house without AC. It's 6:30 PM and still 72 degrees, I'm lovin this global warming. I can't change it so I might as well be content. :)
I don’t think you can fill the totes up with green oak and move them with your tractor. I have a L3240 and have a hard time moving them. Also make sure you have lots of ballast. Keep the video coming and happy new year.
Thanks Ken. I was thinking they would weigh white a bit filled. I’ll have to do some experimenting. Maybe the smaller size would have been better? Happy new year!
The smaller ones definitely work better for me. Also with lighter wood like ash or maple helps. The green oak is just so heavy.
Nice video! Do you happen to know the distance between the two rails that the forks hook to? I’m trying to figure out if these fork tines would fit on a carriage I have.
Can you clarify? Do you mean the width between the forks? Feel free to email me at contactmcgtv@gmail.com -Ed
LS builds and ownes New Holland I have a LSXR3135H with a front bucket lift of 2200 lbs..
Happy New Year @ 12:05 looks like you have a spare parts loader. Is that the tweaked one out in the weather ?
That’s right, B Hall. I need to disassemble it and keep the spare cylinders. Happy new year!
@@MyClutteredGarage You have a SSQA mount for Fabrication Friday adapting to rear 3 point :) # point lifts a lot more :)
Not sure what I'd use one of those for, maybe if you installed a pump and hose on one you could use it for an emergency fire suppression hose...otherwise, what would you use them for?
Some people do use them for back-up water storage. I’ll just use the steel cages and recycle the bladders. Thanks for watching! -Ed
@@MyClutteredGarage Ok, thanks. I'd assume not for drinking water though considering the ones you got had dyes in them, and I'm sure others have chemicals, and pesticides in them possibly? Wondering if you could put one on a trailer or back of a truck and fill it with water to use if you live in an area prone to wild fires, or just to help control a burn pile possibly, which is kind of what I was thinking of doing with one, as I have a burn pile that I have to keep a close eye on sometimes and some water close by would be very useful.
Just looking at those LS tractors made me feel like I was cheating on my kubota. What was the price difference from a b2601 and the comparable LS
Haha! I didn’t talk about prices. It might make for a tough decision of the savings is great.
Nice video , can someone elaborate on the lift capacity - will the 2601 be able to pick up a tote full of oak?
Thanks Tim. I’ll be interested to know too. Happy new year! -Ed
@@MyClutteredGarage I think you will be good to 800 lbs. Like me you will find many uses for the forks. Even picks up tree logs
I have a l2501 and it struggles with the smaller totes full of oak. I modified my pallet forks to work on the 3 point, it feels much safer carrying the totes.
Hey Ed. What are you doing with your old loader frame? Do you wanna sale the front quick hitch??
Hey thanks for the question but I’m just keeping it for parts. Happy new year!
@@MyClutteredGarage I ordered a quick attach for my tractor but it’s been a waiting game. Been months. Dealer can’t get it. Should have bought tractor with one but dealer was out at the time. So it just pin it on for now!
@@preformancemustang Bummer for the wait, but you’ll love it!
If you need totes, call me. I have 10-15 totes a year, you can have.
Hey thanks, Travis. Happy new year!
