I've been seeing a lot of CID pallet forks (specifically 36"-48" to fit my Kubota BX23S) offered for sale in my area all of a sudden. Prices are generally competitive with Titan. The CID website says they've been in operation since 2003, but I can't find any reviews of their products. Anyone here have experience with them, particularly their small pallet forks?

I bought an HLA 900# SSQA + forks from Kubota dealer this Spring. Yoou certainly don't need 2000# forks as loader can only ,maybe, lift 700#. The BIG IMPORTANT 'link in the chain' are the front tires ! I have stock, Garden Master industrials(R4) and they have an 860# rating. I have Kubota Canada 'doing the math' to see what my BX23S can SAFELY lift/carry since I just replaced the fronts due to sidewall damage after 217 hrs ( 16 mths service) ! Heck the BX23S should weigh in about 3,000 and if 1/2 is upfront, that's 1500# and tires only rated for 1720 # , so maybe 300# of stuff is too much ??!!

Remember to reduce 'payload' capacity by the weight of the forks/SSQA plate.

Apparently Kenda K514 tires are a lot better, just hven't found a dealer for them in Canada, yet...

Exactly why ballast on the three point is needed when doing loader work. It lessens the load on the front end by pivoting on the rear axle.
