Leef,
You're right way cheaper route. For the quick tach hookup and the forks it was $900 for my 4600. One thing not mentioned though is center of gravity. I had thought about the loader forks but with those I would have been almost 3 foot past my loader arms with the weight I would be carrying. With the quick tach ones I'm right at my forks, thus I can lift more and lift it safer. My main reason for them is carrying and moving around big round bales. I don't think I could have done it with the chain on or screw on mounts. For most applications though I think they would be ok.
