[QUOTE="Katoh, post: 56833, member: 7720"] Thank's for the input Tazza. The reason I wanted to make the forks was to keep the initial weight down, no use using forks that can handle 4000kg but weigh 300kg, I assume my forks should be able to handle a 1000kg but weigh maybe 1/2 or even less then the 4 in 1 bucket it has. Yes I found out about the bumpy bit too, to get to my top gardens is a quick trip round the fence through the bush and if you hit a rock as big as your fist and it becomes unnerving. Lucky I'm not a speed freak and take it slow. Now I wouldn't mind at all going up in reverse, but how the hell can you see were you are going? Can you put mirrors on these things or is that just unheard of. The molly grease sounds good, and I should of added changing all filters was always part of the equation. So changing the hydraulic fluid is a good idea? If so Ill try and work out were to drain it from, will the unit need bleeding then after refilling? One other aspect I will add to my post,is, I'm not the smallest bloke on this planet and yes the 453 is a little cosey but fine. They have put the opening off the 4 in 1 bucket control on the right lever controlled by moving it to port(left) side, well my legs seem to get in the way an I find myself trying to move my whole body to get it to work, is there a better system?
