Spartan 42in pallet forks?

[Roadbuilder6]

Hey guys, I am looking at these pallet forks. I am asking if any of you guys have these? I am asking because they are pretty cheap so I am wondering about the quality? Thanks, John
Ps these are for a Kubota L3240 with LA724 loader.

No experience with the spartan brand, but I have been looking at the Titan 42" forks and will probably get them once I save up the money.

Never heard of Spartan brand forks, Could not find them doing a google search.
Quite a few members do have the Titan brand of forks and have not heard of any failures or anything bad about them.

I have a 3240 with 724 loader also. I bought the Titan 42'' forks and other than a little bit loose fit on the QA they work fine( I welded in a shim to tighten it up). I had a boulder that the loader wouldn't pick all the way up so I drug it with the forks and no problems. It probably weighed a ton or more.

Thanks guys for the repleys. They do look a lot like the titians. Here they are: Skid Steer Pallet Fork Attachment | Skid Steer Pallet Forks | Spartan

Thanks for the link.
Spartan seems comparable to Titan. But Titans seem to be the better bargain.
Titans are rated for 4000# compared to Spartans 3000.
Titans are $524. and have free shipping to a commercial address. Spartans are $595. and do not include shipping.
Here's the Titan link.

I have Titans myself and use them all the time and in the photo trust me there is a tractor somewhere behind that load.

I agree they look very similar to the titans but like George2615 said the titans are a little cheaper and ship free to a commercial address so you end up saving a good bit.

Thanks for the reply. How bad was the gap? I am not a very good welder lol, nor do I have a welder so that wouldn't be something I could fix....

Any gap that may or may not need shimming will depend on how your QA is built, how the forks are built, and how they fit together. My forks are regular Skid Steer forks and fit very good without any slop or gap. You won't know until you buy and attach them.
