    Default Another set of pallet forks

    I made a set of pallet forks for my 2320 and I must say I can't believe how much I use them. Bought the forks from a steel recycler, they were bent up but was able to straighten them in our press.
    I also had a machine shop cut a 1 3/8" bar and make 5 boss's up for the forks to slid on. I would say it cost about $ 300 and only took a couple of evenings to fab up. Beats paying $1200 at the dealership.!!!!!

    Looks great. I use mine as much as the bucket. I would suggest adding some sort of back-stop to avoid having things roll back onto you or your tractor's hood. It would also help for moving brush and things like that.

    Looks great, but how did you build the quick attach for the bucket. Seems like the hardest part I have tried to build.

    I bent the hooks using the press. Worked out not bad! I added extra 4 inch square tube for the pin lock so the level indicator would match the fork when it is on the ground,just like the bucket! Make sense....lol

    Nice job! You could add a grapple to it, for a future project
