Anyone on here have one , used one or built one ? I currently have pallet forks and use the **** out of them for moving one ton and rockwell axles around, also been snagging all the pallets I can and been putting basically everything on them that's heavey . I have an old barn converted to a shop so the upstairs has a lot of storage room but it's hard to get bulky awkward parts up there like 44" tires etc. I'd like to build a forklift for that back of my old John Deere 430. Retro fitting one from a tow motor would be no issue but I have a few questions about the hydraulics , are people using the tractor hydraulics or running a pto pump and separate reservoir like a wood splitter? Do you set the forklift boom on the ground then lift your forks ? I googled it and have seen a few setups but no good info on them.
