I didn't see your question yesterday. I bought them at USA Forks Light Duty Pallet Forks | Bucket Forks, Tractor Forks and Pallet Forks for Tractor Buckets and Skid Steer Buckets by USA Forks
Got them today but haven't done anything with them yet.

Yeah I saw that web site too. Thank you... I liked the clamp system better on these others and it looked a little heavier.

I just ordered these: Amazon.com: Clamp on Pallet Forks for Loader Tractor or Skid Steer (COF): Home Improvement

So I'll have to wait a while to test them, but the reviews all look good and the price was great. 4000 lb capacity, $189 with free shipping.

I made myself a set and use them all the time! http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/build-yourself/267235-bx-forks-ftw.html

Right now, they are clamp on, but someday whenever I make myself a front QA, I'll modify them to work with the QA. This should allow for increased lifting capacity.

I bought a nice set couple years ago and I really like them...
Lots less expensive than other options...
You can move a lot of brush with the 2x4 standards in the back of the fork...
Best addition to my FEL since my FEL...

That is the set I purchased a couple years ago...
Excellent product...
You will be very well pleased with them...
One thing I did do was cut two shims to go in between the hold down screws...
These were cut on my metal cutting bandsaw...
I think that they are 2x2x3/8...
I keep them with the forks...

Well perhaps I Paid to much fo mine. It came with a stabilizer bar though. The sent the wrong one and I emailed them. They were real nice and said they shipped the correct one this afternoon. I used them today. I didn't get too carried away. I picked up four 1 foot in diameter logs that were about 7 feet long. No problem there so that alone makes it worth it.

If you don't mind drilling four holes in the bottom of your bucket, you can easily make a pair of forks that bolt to the bottom of the bucket fairly quickly. Two holes per fork. No lateral stability problem. On or off in a couple of minutes. My set only stuck out about 18 inches but was handy for stacks of railroad ties or sheets of plywood on edge, leaned against the bucket face.

I should add that if you make your own bolt-on forks, make sure the hole pattern is identical on both forks. Otherwise, you'll end up with left and right forks to deal with. Don't ask.
