Shop made forklift attachments thread

What do you have hooked to the rear of the tractor? The green version of a Poultry Housekeeper? Or is it a rock picker?

It’s a Kelly Poultry House Cleaner so yes, the red version of a Lewis Brothers Housekeeper. I had a Housekeeper for 5yrs and it did a nice job but it always had a bearing out somewhere and I was sick of it. The Kelly has way larger shafts and bearings and hasn’t given me a lick of trouble yet.

Thank you for the quick response! So I was on the right track. I am not familiar with all the Lewis Brothers competition. But it is fun to learn about.

I have never come across this thread…..it’s evil for me….or is it for her…..

I have always said it’s a life dream to have a place where I need a tractor…..only thing is then I will need a skidsteer too…..then I would need containers for parking etc…

First time using the skid steer quick tach crane I built on something other than my skid steer, and first time setting trusses with it.


Didn't know there was gonna be a tractor there, was originally going to chain it on a trailer to make a gin pole and use the winch/sheave to lift.

Looks like that attachment worked great for setting those trusses Muckin_Slusher. I use my crane attachment for similar lifting tasks all the time. Very handy. Ed.
