3 point pallet forks

[Bearcatrp]

Looking at 3 point pallet forks but nothing like my current adjustable forks for my FEL. Found this 3 point adapter so I can use my FEL forks. Anyone use something like this?

Yes, I have one (I don’t remember the brand but it looks very similar) and have used it. I have not used it much since I got a pallet jack though. As I recall it’s one of those things that when you attach it it would be helpful to have an extra hand or two…sort of awkward and not really light to hold with one hand while trying to put a pin in on one end.

I’ve used it to put forks on the rear and have also used it to have my carry all on the front.

the one thing I would mention is I have only used it with a tractor with a manual top link, and if you want to trim trim the forks or whatever you might have on the back, you may need to eat some spinach. It be a lot more fun if had a hydraulic top link IMO.

Curious.Any reason not to use a 'carryall', which is probably cheaper and allows you to have pallets front and rear.

The carryall I have seen online either don’t adjust at all or are limited on adjusting the forks. My current forks adjust all the way in/out.

$200 ?
Stainless Steel ?

If i was their marketing department, i would have chosen a unit with better welds for brochure pictures. At least they're not trying to hide it.

I thought about going that route but couldn't find what I wanted, made in USA, so I had my local hay spear builder, who also built my SSQA forks, build me another set of 3 pt forks, these are way too heavy for your tractor, and really much heavier duty that I really needed, but I only plan to use them on my CUT, not My SCUT, as I have the other forks for the front of that one, cost me $1400 and weigh 485 Lbs!



And I'd say a hydraulic top link is also mandatory to get full use of them ...

OK that makes sense, I've made/used 3PH pallet forks for moving 'skids of stuff', so never needed 'widrh' adjustment. FWIW, They also go up(not very high ? in and arc.

Yes. This works well. I sold this tractor and my current L47 has rear remote hydraulics. So I will eventually add a hydraulic top link to make them even easier to use. My 3-point conversion was a little under $300 if I remember correctly. $289? According to the weight they seemed a little heavier built so I went with that.

so did that log roll off on you,seems pretty level.....
I had a 3200#er do that, kinda forgot 'physics' going uphill and oopsy.......
My 3PH setup uses 2, 42" long forklift forks and some free steel for the frame. dang it's 20 years old now.

Didn’t roll off, but I didn’t go up too steep of hills either. Having a hydraulic top link for this would be the best.

I learned after my 1st roll off, to CHAIN them on, snug not tight.

Was thinking the same thing. If I do go this route, will get the hydraulic top link.

Now THAT'S cool! What a great implement to have if you need to pick up and move heavy loads.

I had to Google WIFO, but once again those Canadians really seem to nail the tractor implement thing.

I like them because they fold up and the stands keep them nicely against the wall. It also has a tow hitch plate so if you need to pull a wagon around you don't need to drop them. It is a good match for that little tractor the forks are rated for 3500lbs the 3pt on that tractor has the optional aux lift cylinder and is rated by CNH at 4000lbs but I can lift and move two 1 ton skids of compressed wood bricks in the shed as long as I have some decent weight on the front. It unloads and double stacks 1 ton skids of heating bricks without any weight on the front with ease. They make a 5500lb model to but I really didn't need any that heavy duty.

These are what I have. No idea where you'd get an equivalent unit in the USA, but they're Chinesium, so someone will be importing them.

Those don’t look to bad. Plan on searching a bit more before getting that quick tach.

I made lightweight folding rear forks. As I have a B7100, I'm not going to be lifting anything heavy. I also made a transport box.
