Make sure the steel plating on your bucket is capable of attaching the forks too.

Thanks for the heads up, I guess the best way to find out is to fit them up to the bucket. I figure worst case, I will need to do a little fabricating. Maybe I will consider a laying a piece of 1/4" plate steel where the clamp points interface to the bucket to give it that extra durability. The last thing I want is a nice and new "bent" bucket.

I think you will get a lot of use out of the forks. They have a round puck to help prevent bucket damage. Pallet Fork Attachments | Clamp on Pallet Forks | palletforks.com See photo:

Be careful with clamp on forks, your load will always be out front more and a little more unstable in the tractor seat. Sure handy on lighter lifting. Ken Sweet

So did you get these? How have they been working out if so? I have an ex2900 and I've been thinking about getting these for some light duty hay bale and pallet moving around the homestead.

PaBear,

Yes, I did purchase these pallet forks. I have to say, I am impressed with the quality and durability of the forks. The round puck does a nice job of not leaving a depression in the bucket. They are very handy around the house.
I am happy with the purchase.

I bought a pair of Paynesforks a few yrs. ago.they look about the same.sure saves a lot of back breaking work using them....russ

Thanks very much for the feedback Nick. Did you get any of the optional ratchets or stabilizer bar for your setup? Always nice to hear a real world scenario and how it's performing on the same model tractor. Are you having to use a great deal of additional rear ballast? How heavy of a load have you lifted?

I can't tell from the photos...but how does the stabilizer bar fit? Does it slide over the two forks?

Also, I assume the forks are made of rectangular tube...is it possible to drill the end of it to install a ball hitch?

Looking to get a set of these for my Kubota L3400 with the LA463 (if I recall correctly) loader.
