Added LIPS plates to the pallet fork frame to help align attachment. 2”x7” scrap cut offs. The bigger the tractor, the harder to see sometimes. Some implement’s frames give very little clearance and are especially hard to mate on uneven ground. My 30year old grapple was especially hard without LIPS. Now just jumps on easily.

I did the same on my pallet forks. I ground the joint smooth so that the loader just glides into the pallet fork frame smooth as silk. I also applied a contrasting piece of arrow tape for a visual guide.
