FYI:  Slip on bucket forks are really handy on a front loader.  If you
only need them once in a while its no big deal to put them on and take
them off, and they are pretty cheap.  They have a couple issues, but if
you don't use them often you can live with it.
---------------------------------------------------------
My younger neighbor has slip-on forks for his loader and tried to use them 
to stack the logs the tree company left in a tangle in my yard. He found 
they were useless for lifting all but the smallest logs, though he could 
knock the larger logs around so he played with them for a while. I weighed 
one he could barely lift at the specified capacity of his tractor, proving 
its hydraulics were still in good internal condition, if not so pretty 
externally.

Then I set up my manual hoists and neatly stacked all of them on blocks to 
cover for winter, including two at ~25' long and over 4000 Lbs each.
