dung fork

[tom87]

Hey There,
We have just purchased a new 7441 with loader.
Now I want to make up a dung fork for it, but dont know what size would suit. I dont want to be hard on her so any info would be great.

Thanks

We find that 1500mm or 5' is about right. much wider is plenty heavy and much narrower means you are always at an angle to walls. I would make a grab on the fork while you build it.

Ant the 7441 is not very hevy in rear end so you should fit on a beton closs or fill your back tyres with vater/antifreeze before you start to use the fork.

Thanks Men
I had thought something round that size myself so thanks for clearing that up for me. Would the grab not leave her a bit heavy on the front, I was thinking about making one for it for loose hay and the lke but was concerned about weight.

I didn't think they were a light tractor on the back so thanks for the info, I'll be putting a concrete weight on it so.

Thanks again, much appreciated.

when i feeded my animals with roundbaler(silage) i had to be careful with my 7441 so i filled the tyres with water (700 litres total) Now its no problem any longer

Yea we had an old 11811 that we had for forest work and we filled the back tires and never looked back. On the mucky conditions she just couldn't get the power to the ground.

What kind of loader is on your 7441?

 

[per_ola]

Its a track-lift 120 loader. In some conties its sold as zetor -orginal loader. Very ok loader i think. You tell about old 11811?never heard about that number,same as 12011 maybe? what country are you from?

 

[tom87]

Yea ours came with a trac-lift 100, to the best I know its just a bit shorter, came as a standard zetor loader. The 11811 as i have been calling it is a 12011 as you said, my grandad used to call it an 11811 and the name sort of stuck with me. 6 cylinders 2 wheel drive, ya had to love it, shame to see her go realy. Sorry for causing the confusion.
