Several people said, "Just throw some pipe under it," including my buddy 
who delivered it.  That doesn't really work in sand, and I was a bit 
disappointed in him for that.  My method of setting it on square timbers 
(reclaimed guard rail posts) as skid surfaces worked.  It was a lot of 
work which I expected, but it worked just the way I envisioned.

That was actually before I rebuilt the hydraulic cylinder and received 
the new forks.  Neither of which would have been any help for this 
particular job.

I have used the new forks several times in the last few days however.

They might even handle marginally more weight because the leverage is 
less with the load closer to the tractor by the depth of the bucket.

I suppose I really should clean it up now that its not pouring hydraulic 
fluid everywhere any longer.
