Unfortunately I don't think it's compatible with the 80 series SSQA. :(

Anybody have any experience with these forks? I like that they are light weight and reasonably priced, Just wish they had a 2" receiver setup. The blades are 36". Any thoughts and opinions appreciated.
They are basically the old version of Ai2 Products Pallet forks, they used to be in business together but no longer. The latest forks from Ai2 can be found here: https://bxattachments.com/product/36-pallet-forks-80-series/
unfortunately they are more expensive now but still lightweight and are compatible with SSQA.

I've been eyeballing the new Ai2 ones myself. They are quite expensive, but are the strongest yet lightest weight SSQA forks I've found. They are only a few hour drive from here, so I could skip the shipping and go get them.

I’ve got his gen2 series for my 70 series with his QA and they are great, allows me to stack my implements to make more room in my garage.

The SSQA ones from Earth & Turf weigh about 120 pounds, 32" length (boxed style). They are around $600. When I do it over again I will prob go with Artillian system because of mini-grapple add-on capability.

I bought an HLA 900# unit for about $600 Canucks last year, so really cheaper than the OP ones at $625 USD. Solid(cast) forks. Well built, will outlive me.. then agin, most everything will...

The Earth and Turf pallet forks are not SSQA compatible. At least from what I see on there website they are not. :(

I believe the Ai2 forks are solid steel. I know for the use of a BX it probably doesn't matter much, but I think I prefer solid versus boxed style.

Their website leaves a little to be desired, I called them, and they had a set ready.
It would be nice if they provided a little more information on their website, like pricing. I see a few items I find interesting, but all you get for anything is a couple of sentences and a few pictures. If you want anything more you have to contact them directly.

Confirmed, I called them to. Are the forks solid or rolled steel?

Don''t know why they don't show them on the website.

After all my research I ended up going with the Land Pride PFL1242 forks. Well made forks with a good price($540) and no shipping issues to deal with.

I have a set when I got my BX23s. Brand new never used. Previous owner bought the clamp on instead and then went to bigger size tractor so I have it all. Its the pin on type that I won't use soooooo I'm willing to sell.

I just put the standard pallet forks on my new BX23S . They go on super fast and worked great to move some 8’ cedar logs. I got the logs high enough to place in my dump trailer. They are adjustable in width and I got a 4 way pallet to modify to carry various items. Having said all that, I believe the Bxtended bucket forks would have been a better decision, check them out they attach to your bucket and roll down when you need them. I may still buy them... but the standard Kubota forks are nice. I did buy the BXtended bucket dolly which is great to drop your bucket on and move around the shop. I also purchased the BXtended chain hooks for my bucket , super easy to install and very handy. I will build a slide on metal box with a ball hitch to slide over one fork , secured with a chain to move trailers.

I went with a set from Artillian. I plan on adding a grapple. The frame weighs 98lbs and includes a 2" receiver & chain slots.

Plus for me is they are 20 minutes from work, so I saved shipping (Located in the Curtis Cab facility)
