Do any of ya'll use any of your tractors in unusual ways or for odd purposes?
Sometimes in my shop I pull the box off of a pickup either to replace the box, install cab corners on the cab, etc.
I have an H Farmall with a hydraulic tilt bucket loader on it. The bucket is 36" wide. I bought a couple of 10 foot 4x6's and bolt them to the inside of the sides of the bucket so they stick out in front like forks on a forklift. Works great for lifting pickup boxes off of pickups and setting them on a dolly in my shop, setting them on a trailer, off to the side, or whatever.
To remove the box from a pickup, I lower the 4x6's onto the floor of the box and put a couple of 2x6's the right length across under the stake pockets. If a box is already off the pickup, I can just poke the 4x6's underneath it.
Works like a charm, and the box doesn't swing around like if it's suspended from a chain. I've set a freshly painted box onto a pickup with a freshly painted cab and put the box within an inch of where it needed to be.
