Forks Does anyone make 3 Point Forks for pallet lifting

[reberly]

I was wondering if anyone knew a maker of pallet lifting forks that attach on the back of a tractor 3 point hitch for light moving of pallets. I can't justify a skid steer for the ocassional lift. It would be especially helpful to find a distributor in SW Michigan.
Thanks,
Rich

King Kutter makes a 3 pt pallet mover.
Check with your local Tractor Supply.

Thanks, It's exactly what I am looking for. Doesn't TSC carry king kutter.

Yes they do. Last I checked the pallet forks were under $100, as I recall.

$200 here in Michigan, but not bad. I am going to order one tonight. Thanks again,

Rich and fishman,

I think the Carry All is about $100. That's what I have, and it does work for pallets. But the Pallet Mover is a lot heavier duty - rated for 2000# vs. 1000# for the Carry All.

Yep, I bought the pallet mover after I bent up my carryall. My TSC does not stock the pallet mover so I had to pay for shipping. Cost me about $250 with tax and shipping.

I already had the carry all which was rated for 500#. It didn't cut it for the lumber I haul and began to bend. My TSC doesn't stock the 2000# rated PM-15 King Kutter pallet mover either, but they gave me a rain check and quoted me $199 to arrive on the next truck. It should come in ten days.

Good choice. I had forgotten the prices, but I do remember looking at the carryall. Not very sturdy as I recall. The bale spears looked very substantial, and were priced similarly to what you are paying for the pallet forks. Hopefully they are similarly constructed.

Since you already have the light-duty carry-all...here's another option:
