Pallet fork suggestions

Can't tell from their pictures, but doesn't look like they have much, if any extra rollback built into the frame: Tomahawk Attachments :: Tomahawk Fork Frames

I'm on my 2nd set of Titans. My first had loose SSQA pin slots (common flaw with them, my brand new SnowDawgg plow is the same actually). They gave me the option of swapping the frame or a few bucks to get a welder to weld on a shim. I pocketed the money & welded it myself. They ran off with my old tractor.

Got a new fork & bale spear combo this go. Pieced together the order to get 48c forks with a hole (& trailer ball) in em. There was a month of delays in the forks & when I complained they sent me a 42" & 48" fork (No hole or ball). Not ideal, but it works.

They are cheap & have occasional issues with quality or logistics. But they have always stepped up to make things right.

Look comparable to EA compact pallet forks. EA list $617 and are 60 something pounds lighter and includes shipping.

Tomahawks are $407 + shipping and 60 pounds heavier.

I can't really tell if either have built in rollback. Is it necessary to have it built in rollback. I would think that the builders of pallet forks would include it in there design. It is after all the business they're in.

I am in the market for pallet forks too. I have a little over 1400# lift capacity so the weight of the forks matters. I ran across the Tomahawks in my search, although the price is appealing I think I will go ahead with the lighter EA forks.

Haven't seen the Tomahawks mentioned before so I just thought I'd toss it out there.

I would say extra built in rollback isn't needed if you are on flat land.

I am surprised that so few manufactures make pallet forks that will fit front QA and rear 3 point.

Looks like the EA light forks do not have extra rollback:

Extra rollback messes up my leveling rod. I'd sooner *not* have it (until I don't have it and need it, of course).

Neither of my pallet forks matched the leveling rods on either of my tractors. Buckets intrinsically have a fair bit of rollback to avoid spilling their load. The bottom of a bucket on a tractor bucket isn't square to the back, unlike pallet forks.

Agri supply 3 point pallet forks 2000 lbs capacity $199. Pretty good price

What is Rollback?

Sounds like a sale at Walmart

What is Rollback?

Rollback is how far back towards the tractor you can tilt your bucket/forks/etc. Some forks have a little rollback built in, so basically when the forks are level with the ground, the SSQA plate is tilted forward. You have the same total range of motion with the implement, but a greater amount of that range is pointing up, rather than down.

On my MX, with the fork tips a foot or so off the ground,i can tilt the forks back further than vertical. Mine do have built in rollback. I've never wished them to have less rollback, and I'm very happy that they have the built in rollback that they do.
