Those things were funny to move yesterday. Gimpy slung them on the pallet by chain to the backhoe. I backed out and as soon as I went forward the 1,000lbs or so brought the front wheels off the ground about 2 feet. It was okay for a few feet but that whole not being able to steer made me nervous. ;-)
BUT I SAVED THE DAY! I climbed my fat azz into the bucket and brought the front wheels to the ground again. Now I have an excuse to not exercise!

Yes, he did. I should have put a chain on him so he could lean out farther.

Sounds like you need a set of quick-tach forks for the front bucket.
