Lifting Straps, the Absolute Best Way to Load a Bush Hog, Box Blade or Tiller

Mike demonstrates a dealership trick for lifting implements like brush hogs and box blades using pallet forks and heavy-duty eyelet-to-eyelet lifting straps. He shows exactly how to route a short and long strap around the top-link pin and tail-wheel bracket to keep the load level, and covers the safety step of re-leveling forks incrementally as you raise or lower. Best for owners who already have pallet forks and want a practical, paint-safe alternative to chains. Note that Mike links to an Amazon affiliate product.
