Lots of good comments here. I'd think that converting an old bucket to a fork lift would require a lot of welding and fab work, because the geometry it all wrong. By the time you finished, you would have discarded everything but the mounting tabs and basically re-created the same fork frame that you could buy cheaper. Unless you had the forks given to you and you were a good welder, I don't see any cost savings. And then there is the safety factor. I have a loader with pin-on bucket, and I bought a pin-on hay spear. It was a real pain to change over, so I finally bit the bullet and bought a MDS shur-lock quick attach that would work with the pin-on attachments. It was worth every penny, I can easily change from the bucket to the spear in a few minutes. And the hay spear has two big spears side by side instead of the single spear with a couple of short ones. I use it to move logs, brush, etc. I can move pallets with it if the spacing on the pallet is just right. I don't see why anyone would buy a single spear hay spear anymore.
