Kubota BX25D / BX70?

[J F]

Hey Van,

I was looking at the Kubota forks on the "Build" portion of the Kubota site for a BX25 and didn't find much info, other than $338 for the K9184 32" pallet forks. No pics or other info, and I couldn't find anything with a web search either.

Would it be possible to take a pic or two of your pallet fork set-up and post 'em?

Here are some quick pics. I just put one fork on. From the last pic you can see why I haven't had it out

Thanks Van. :thumbsup: Do you have any idea if the $338 on the Kubota site if for everything, or just the forks? Thanks.

QA is $275. Both carriage and forks is $900. Not the cheapest option, but this is going to make setting boulder walls easier.

Thanks for the info, Van. Hope the weather cooperates so you can get out and use 'em soon. :thumbsup:

I did forget to order another Pin 3 for my bucket.

The QA should have come with a pin, mine did. Did you get the arrow sticker? Mine did not come with it, so the dealer is ordering one.

I also got the Kubota fork carriage and 32" formed forks. The warning sticker on the fork carriage says that max lift capacity is 310lbs. With the bucket( no QA on) it says max lift is 518lbs. I haven't had a chance to try it out as ther is still so much snow on the ground here.

Do you have a way of weighing the forks assemble? I would be interest in what the Kubota forks weigh.

The carriage has a sticker that says it's 90lbs. I don't have a scale. The forks are 32". Each one feels as heavy as the carriage. I'm going to guess 80lbs each. I'm curious about the exact weight, I may have to buy a scale.

I have set of AMH Micro Forks.

Micro Pallet Forks for Compact Skid Steers

Mine weigh in at 103.6#, frame and forks. The forks are 42". I still need to weld up the a coupler. They are rated at 900# way more than The BX can lift. My bucket weighs in at 135.5#. So the fork set up should weigh about the same as the bucket.

I am also trying to find a used 48" grading blade to weld a coupler on to.

Cap-n-Cray would you mind showing the fork system you purchased? As how it relates in size to the tractor.How will you making attachments for the pins and cylinder?

Thanks Chris

AMH Micro Forks...







I got the plain back. I just need to weld up some brackets. I will make the brackets copying what is on the bucket out of 1/4" angle.
