Bxpanded Quick On Pallet/Brush Forks

[Tallahassee Kubota Man]

Anyone familiar with these pallet forks? They're made of 2" square gusseted steel. A pair is around 45 lbs according to the site. I'm wondering how strong they would be on larger tractors/buckets...M5140 w/LA1153 and 72" bucket. I'm thinking solid steel forks would be stronger and of course much heavier and probably more expensive. I don't use them often, but sure are handy when I do.

I have a pair and I would guess they would not be strong enough for your tractor. Their site says they are capacity matched to the BX. You could probably call or send an email requesting the capacity of the forks.

edit: They are also sized for the BX bucket, you probably have a larger opening.

Your LA1153 doesn't have the SSQA style bucket? If you do, then get a set of dedicated forks, you will be amazed how much you'd end up using them

Larry, you're probably right. They do look a little light for the tractor I've got.

Kennyd4110, yes it does have the ssqa. I was trying to find a cheaper alternative to the dedicated forks. I've got those on my L3010 and they work great. Problem for me is I don't use them very much, I've got a grapple on the big tractor that does most of the work I need to do. The L3010 FEL (and forks) have a Kubota quick attach (not the ssqa). Am wondering if I can fit the Kubota qa forks to the newer ssqa. Need to consult my local fabrication guys.
