B1659 Pallet Forks

Saw some new ones on Facebook Marketplace in Yadkinville, NC. Not sure what part of VA you're in, so the drive might be worth it or not. Not cheap though, listed at $875

You could very easily adapt a set off SSQA forks to fit the pin on arrangement.
Probably much cheaper than trying to find one off forks.
Another option is to add the SSQA adapter to your loader then the world is your oyster.

Thanks. I'm still kind of new to the tractor life. Doing some research, it seemed liked going the SSQA adapter route added addtional weight, and caused any load to be further out from the pins, thus reducing lift capacity. Is that true? If so, any idea how much my lift capacity would be reduced by? That was honestly my reason for going the OEM route.
However, I also read that the OEM forks have a much lower lift capacity than the tractor is actually capable of lifting and going the SSQA route would be better even with the additonal weight the adapter adds + the load being further out....so I'm just confused all around. Any input?
Thanks. I see them now. I think my problem is I'm searching on marketplace for "b1659" and unless someone has that in their title or description, it's not going to find it. I basically have to just type in kubota forks in a bunch of random areas and hope I get lucky that they are the b1659.
Price does seem high but could try and see if it's negotiable. Saw a set much closer for $450 but was sold around the same time I inquired about them. Thanks again
