I was going to post these in the old thread but I didn't think it was fair to keep that thread at the top of the list given the title. If you don't know what I'm talking about, do a search on "Skidsteer Express Grapple." In that thread, I promised to post pictures when I received my pallet forks. I was expecting them next week but the trucking co expedited delivery to make up for losing the last two shipments.
These things look really solid, as solid I'm sure as any others for much more money. They are full sized forks (not the 3" as on similar weight category from other manufacturers). I'm sure it will do everything I need it for and more. Also glad I got the 42" and not the 48." I can't think of any reason why I would need longer forks. The only thing I'm a little concerned with is the gap between the QA plates. This is a pretty huge gap and I don't know if it is an issue or not. This is the same thing that I found with my Wildcat grapple which they sent me shim plates to correct. I don't expect to be doing the rough work with these that I do with the grapple but it still seems like there shouold be a better fit. Look at the photo below and tell me what you think.
