What's the capacity of the fork attachment. Looks really large/heavy as if it takes up a lot of your lifting capacity with it just attached to your tractor.
Maybe hang some weight on the blade.
The FEL is rated at 1800lbs, not sure what the weight of the pallet forks is, they borrowed it from a neighbor. The total weight of the hoop house on 2 pallets from the shipping company was 1900lbs. The small pallet had the cover, hardware, etc, I estimated it at 300lbs or so. So that makes me pretty close to the capacity of the FEL. I suspect the pallet forks were every bit of 200lbs so I was right on the edge regardless of back end weighting.
i got the tractor bug a few years ago and decided i NEED a new tractor. i sold a 1965 john deere that was running ok but needed some freshening here and there,and bought a 2014 kubota with just a little more horsepower........ A BIG MISTAKE....... i could have probably sunk just part of what the new tractor cost me into the john deere and been better off.
I had a kubota years ago . During some heavy brush hogging it started a rattling in the engine . Toor it down, had a bent connecting rod. Called Stewarts they sent me one . It was a real pain to work on.
I have a bunch of composted wood mulch. I wanted a way to screen the soil out of what’s left of the wood chips.
This can plug into a receiver on my tractor or truck. The tractor can use the stinger that lays it flat on the bucket and the soil will drop into the bucket.
The idea is to angle the screen and shovel the mulch over the expanded metal and agitate the screen. I’ve used a rake, my hands, a shovel and the soil seems to easily fall through as the stuff slides down the screen.

Moved a huge amount of brush with the 35 hp Mahindra last week.
Built some debris forks to gather and move brush.
The pile runs 50’ behind the pic and there is a second pile.
I’ve got over 1600 hours on the tractor with heavy usage. Zero maintenance issues.

How are the forks attached?
Basically held in place by two 3/4” bolts.
I’m not home tonight, but I’ll try to remember to take some pics tomorrow.
Finally bought a grapple. It’s considered an economy grade; I think mainly due to the low tolerances and cheaply designed pivot points. But the materials used are beefy and this is the grapple design I wanted.
The bolts are used for the pivots, so when they wear, those will be cheap to replace. I will likely do some modifications once I use it and see areas for improvements. It’s heavy, weighing in at about 450 lbs per the seller. It’s 48” wide which is what I wanted.
