Forks looking for info on Woods DuAL Pallet forks

[amafrank]

A neighbor has a set of these that will fit my Spirit front end loader. The mounting plate has moveable universal mounting plates for the tilt cylinders and mounting arms. Load limit is 2000lb according to the warning sticker but thats all the info I can find. Woods doesn't show this model on their site.
I am trying to find out what a fair price for these would be as the neighbor doesn't use them and I sure could. She has no idea of value and I don't know either. I don't want to take advantage of her.....

Thanks for any help.

Is it possible to get a picture of them?

New skid-steer style forks run from about $600 and up...
JD's forks with there QA system is $600-$800

I think I would offer her $250-$300 for them.

I have a set that I bought when we bought our tractor - think I paid around $600 for them (new - but sitting on the dealers lot for awhile)

I believe the mounting brackets I got were designed to fit an old-style skid steer mount (pin-type) - I had to fabricate a set of mounts to fit my quick-change (pin-type) on my loader, since the included ones didn't have enough clearance.

The one thing I don't care for about them is that the forks themselves are attached only on a rod at the top - the bottoms are unsecured to the backstop - so if you tilt (dump) far enough the forks will eventually swing forward. They have come in very handy though.

Well, we came to an agreement of $300 and I put them on my Foton 25Hp.
They fit fine and are very handy. I got the brush piles picked up, got the extra fridge moved into the basement, moved around a lot of lawn sale stuff for the wife and got the big screen out of storage finally and put into the house. I'd say all in all it was worth the cost. They are the floppy forks that attach only on the upper end as noted but the mounting brackets are attached to the back of the fork backplate. The mounts can be moved about 2 inches either way to fit any front end loader. Attachment uses the pins from my front end loader. I don't think they are the same as the skid-steer types.

They will make moving stuff around the shop easier too....
