Quick Attach for 3PH??

[Mike.O]

I have a set of quick attach pallet forks. I made up some +/- 1/3 cord boxes to haul firewood from the back woods to the house. My concern is the B2650 won't lift these. Anyone know of a company selling a SSQA for the 3ph so I can mount my pallet forks to the rear. I have about 6-800 more LB of lift at the 3ph.

This is what I'm after, but holy cow, why the absurd price?

If you have good skids, you can pick up a carry all frame for less than $150. The only problem I had was the old skids warped and didn't have enough room for the angle irons to fit.

It's not easy to find on their website but Titan makes one:
https://www.palletforks.com/tractor-attachments-198/tractor-attachments/quick-tach-adapters/3-point-to-universal-quick-attach-adapter-skid-steer-tractor.html

I thought I had looked all through their site but I had no idea that had that until someone else linked to it on a forum.

Awesome! Thanks! That is definitely a little more in the price point I was expecting and exactly what I'm looking for. Do you have one? is it sturdy? You think it will allow me to maximize the 3ph lift of my B2650, approximately 1600 LBS.

And yes the boxes now are sturdy, made of left over 2x4's and scrap plywood. I will also look into the carry all option. I just made these and havn't loaded them up yet, so maybe the front end loader will lift them (I doubt it), but once I confirm it can't (or hopefully can), I will look into purchasing something for the 3ph.

These are the boxes.

For the rear they sell carry-all for light weight lifting and pallet forks for heavier loads. Be sure to check out the capacity of the implement before you purchase.

Well the goal would be to utilize the SSQA palled forks I already have, so I think the best option would be the 3ph SSQA adapter, as long as it has enough capacity. I cannot seem to find a capacity on the Titan website.

I don't think the 2650 will pick that up using the front loader if it's full. I use tote frames with the top rung cut off and filled with loose, green wood it's about all the tractor wants. Seasoned wood with some ballast you may be ok, but I don't think so.

I'm also looking to utilize the 3 point to move totes. Move twice as much wood in 1 trip.

This is a load of ash that's been on the ground for several years. Tractor didn't have any issues but I knew it was there. Moisture in this was averaging 18%.

These are standard size pallets with welded wire fence to make the cage and green wood thrown in. Some of these I had to lighten up in order to move. But as they sit in the picture the tractor had no problems but again, I knew they were there.

Great idea using the tote frames. Very clean.

Something to think about. For about the same money you can get the pallet forks and have them on the front and back.

Thanks. I don't use them to season, just to toss into off the splitter and transport to the stacking area.

No I don't have one, but I couldn't imagine that it would be a problem on your B. You will have a bit of a penalty on that 1600 lbs though, since you basically have to subtract the weight of the device, and subtract for the extra length that this will push back the load.

Thanks for the reply eipo! Those totes are what started this whole firewood moving venture. Usually just use my truck, but this has to be easier. I can fit 2 under my sunroom which will be sheltered and is right by the door where my stove is. I wanted those cage totes but around here people want 75-125 a tote, which is nuts. I've got my eyes out for a deal on some, but for now this is the route I'm taking.

My wood is all red oak and sugar maple so my density is quite high.

Once I get a feel for how it does on the front forks, I'll reassess and see about acquiring a 3ph SSQA adapter or maybe used 3ph pallet forsk. Maybe I will be content filling the boxes less or use smaller boxes. Should be a learning adventure this wood burning season.
