    Has anyone ever made up a pin and top link system for attaching a JCB silage fork on the rear linkage of a tractor? I want to clear branches/tree stumps etc of land which is a bit dodgy for the loading shovel. The arms of the tractor will fit inside the brackets of the fork when I reversed it in against it. Any hrlp/advice/pictures very welcome.

    You are looking for the inverse of this..

    I know a lad that has euro brackets on nearly every implement, so he can use on the loader or the back end..

    Seeing as the arms already fit - would it be handy job for local welding shop to weld in a set of 3/8 plates... With 2-3 pairs of holes. Try and get your vertical distance close to same spread from a similar box or rake you use..

    Or maybe mag-drill two holes in some of the vertical plates that are already there.

    Done tidily it would never interfere with the fork when its on the loader --- and sure treat it to a aerosol of black hammerite or whatever and bring it the tullamore invention stand.

    Did it before clearing out cuttings, used a heavy chain around the frame to the top link.

    It's grand for lifting but not ideal for pushing.

    Weld on a bracket for the top link

    Made a pin and cone one for the front of the fendt, great for tidying up with after the hedge cutter using the buckrake and a hydraulic toplink
