Pallet forks question

[eiresurg]

I have Grand L3560 with the quick-coupler. Can I technically attach any standard implement/skid loader attachment to this type of coupler? For example, I'm look for some used pallet forks, but a lot of them are advertised as skid loader forks. Is this the same system?

The quick coupler on the front loader is referred to as an SSQA - for Skid Steer Quick Attach. So yes, any standard ssqa implement should work.

Excellent! Thank you for clarifying this.

Keep in mind that skid loader pallet forks can be considerably heavier duty than you machine requires. The ssqa is the same, but an unnecessarily heavy set of forks will eat away at your lift capacity.

I bought a new pair of forks from titan for about the price of used. They won't lift 10000lbs but neither will my tractor. I think I got the 4000lb forks my L6060 will max out at 2000 or less.

Very good point! I tend to get the most heavy duty everything. This is a scenario where that may not be wise. You just saved me a couple hundred bucks (beer money).
