I made this level the other week to make it a bit easier for the handler driver to keep the platform horizontal. Just a plate losely bolted on, trimmer so it sits level and spray a bit of paint on the basket. The bent end is flush with the back edge of the basket so ther isn't any parallax for the driver.View attachment 42762
Good idea need to do something similar to my grain bucket (cough) I mean platform :whistle:

Get a platform. It seemed like a luxury at the time when buying it, but having got it left woundering why I didn't get one sooner. So much better and nicer to use than a grain bucket.
I do keep dropping hints :rolleyes: Did you make that or buy it? They are pretty basic to knock up I'd imagine mr health and safety mightn't like it though

It was bought, cost about £700 and couldn't make one myself for much less.

The exact same design can be bought with a certificated to keep mr health an safety really happy, but for that to be worth more than the paper its writen on both the handler and platform have to be regularly tested. My understanding is that for industrial use testing and certification is mandatory but on farms if it doesn't look like a bucket or pallet tied onto the forks they will be delighted.
