Great video, thanks! I think I'd use bungees or light chain and connect the tow bar to the yellow gussets in a "Y" pattern, leaving the pump handle to move freely in all directions.
Yes I did, I got a brand new set off Temu for $50 They are 5ft long. It definitely makes it more useful. I’m able to pick tractors and move them around. Recently I’ve been getting many pallets that are 18” wide and 5 foot long and they work absolutely perfect for that
1000 lbs you should be good with. I move tractors that are roughy 800 with no problems. I’ve tried picking 2000 lb pallets of wood pellets, the cylinder picks it up no problem but there’s too much fork deflection the far end of the pallet to get it off the ground. I’d say around 1400 is where it maxs out on a standard pallet

That is a cool find
I stumbled upon it and thought to myself, this is the coolest thing ever.. it’s coming in extremely handy already!
Did you ever end up getting fork extensions?

@mikescubcadetworld Interesting....I was thinking of using it for moving IBC totes full of wood, think it would handle that? About 1000lbs or so.

@@mikescubcadetworld Perfect, the fork deflection was my concern, thanks!
Bungee stap the tongue to the handle
That’s what I’m thinking about doing for temporary, eventually may weld a hook to the pump handle to hook the tongue too
