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 ...

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.
