   FYI:  Slip on bucket forks are really handy on a front loader.  If you   
   only need them once in a while its no big deal to put them on and take   
   them off, and they are pretty cheap.  They have a couple issues, but if   
   you don't use them often you can live with it.   
   ---------------------------------------------------------   
   My younger neighbor has slip-on forks for his loader and tried to use them   
   to stack the logs the tree company left in a tangle in my yard. He found   
   they were useless for lifting all but the smallest logs, though he could   
   knock the larger logs around so he played with them for a while. I weighed   
   one he could barely lift at the specified capacity of his tractor, proving   
   its hydraulics were still in good internal condition, if not so pretty   
   externally.   
      
   Then I set up my manual hoists and neatly stacked all of them on blocks to   
   cover for winter, including two at ~25' long and over 4000 Lbs each.
