I have the piranha tooth bar from BXpanded. I ordered the Custom option for my bucket.

The new clamp on pallet forks set arrived today at 81 lbs I was pleasantly surprised of the heavy duty construction.
There is also keyhole slots built into them for chain and binder securement.
Though they work and I was able to hang 300 lbs off the tips with no flex I am brainstorming on a a few items to make it more compatible with my Piranha tooth bar.
1. The clamp pad overlapped the piranha's tooth bar mounts about 1/8". This was easily solved with a 4" angle grinder.
2. Next thing was the bottom piece doesn't quite touch the bucket for rear support. Though no flex is detected in the tooth bar or bucket, I'll feel better with some contact. I've mocked up a filler from 3/8" plywood strips for now before I start metal work.
3. I may cut a tooth back slightly big or small is undecided in order to move that clamp pad slightly rearward and all me contact area at the connection point where the fork is jammed into the tooth. It is solid now, but more is better.
Gonna mull it over a night or two. Ideas from the brain trust are welcomed.
When I'm done I plan on using these on my
HF quick hitch
The loader bucket
And the secret weapon. On my EA grapple.
That's why I went with clamp ons instead of a dedicated set

I'm able to put my Titan clamp on's deep in the Piranha's teeth on my M4700. I'm PLANNING on grinding out a couple of gaps when I get around to it.

Glad to see you. I like mine a lot. I'm planning on wheel spacers (already got them)and work lights next.
Fallon has me almost talked into the power SSQA mod he did.
And of course rear remotes are on the list.
And the list goes on. And on and on.

ROPS mounted LEDs, TnT & a quick hitch, Power SSQA. Probably in that order.
Didn't end up using my bucket cam as much as I'd have thought.
Getting loaded tires should be mandatory (still need proper ballast on the 3pt using the loader).

I'll definitely be putting some led's on the ROPS since I'll be doing snow removal on my long gravel driveway.

I would try to get the dealer to load your tires. They threw that in as a perk on mine easily. Harbor freight quick hitch with an20% coupon.

Subscribed. My new L3301 should be delivered tomorrow. I like the chain holder and I am looking into the Pirahana Tooth for the bucket. Thx for all the info. My 3301 is coming with r4 loaded tires, a box blade and a snowblower.
