Loader Brackets to Weld to Pallet Forks for B7100-HST (loader = B1630C)

[VTDozer]

All,
I am new to tractors and this site, but have learned a TON from everyone. Thank you for all the advice. I just bought a great B7100-HST with a B1630B loader (not huge, but big for me and my VT property)...I have a loader, but want to get a set of pin-on pallet forks made for it. I don't really want clamp-on because I want to:
1) See what I am trying to lift and place somewhere.
2) Maximize my lifting capability.
So I want to remove my pin-on bucket and get a set of pallet forks made. I am honing in on this small model:

Not sure if I will get the longer or shorter forks (42" or 36"), but I will most likely need the wider frame to fit the width of my loader arms (the 47" version, not 35" wide frame)....I need to measure the width of my arms.

My question is: How much will it cost to get someone to fabricate brackets to weld onto this unit to fit my loader? Or, does anyone know of a company that makes/fabricates/sells brackets for Kubota Loader Arms (B1630 loader)?

Any help is appreciated. Thanks! Bob

I've got a pin on pallet fork attachment for the Yanmar and I like having the extra durability and vision it allows.

Some of the members here fabricate stuff for a living and I'm sure they'll chime in with some actual numbers, but the be all end all is that it's going to depend on who you get to do it and where you are. Here in Hawaii fabrication is extremely expensive.

As an alternative though you could probably buy a welder and the equipment you need to do the job yourself for just about what it'd cost to have a setup made for you. That way you'd be able to weld up your tractor if/when it needs it down the line too.

Good luck!

I have this one with the skid steer mount but Everthing Attachments are good to work with they may have a pin on kit for your model or sell you a frame without mounts and you could have the mounts made locally.
2 pairs of side plates to weld onto the back of this frame is a easy job.
