Who's got good quick attach forks for a Mahindra 1538L loader? I don't want clamp on's, I'll spend the extra and get quick the attach types. Looking at Titan etc.

I have a very nice set on my 1538. They are Agriease which is another name for Braber. Here is the link-

Products - Braber Equipment

Mine has a large D ring that doesn't show in the link photo. One of the concerns with some models is a limited site line from the seat. That is why the Mahindra forks are not the best- they have a lot of solid metal which blocks your view.

I like my Titan 42" 4000 lb. capacity forks...just wish my tractor could lift that much!

I don't think you can go wrong with Titan. Many members here have them. I'd have bought them too but bought mine from a local skid steer dealer for about the same price as Titan.

I'll give another vote for Titan - I have had mine for 6 months - no trouble. Great Price - what for a sale though.

I have an Armstrong ag. 3000lb quick attach (skid steer) on my 4025 and have no problems or complaints.

Without knowing how they will be used and whether or not you also move round bales, anyone thinking about forks may want to consider the double tine style hay spear. The tines are a good width to fit pallets and they are available with skid steer style quick attach.

My browzer keeps rejecting the link saying it's not secure. Guess they have some web work to do.

Thanks but I have no foreseeable need to move bales.

Thanks, I saw those but I want adjustable forks in order to extend the usefulness of the forks.

I can see where a fella might not need adjustable forks, for example if all you lifted was regular pallets, but personally, I adjust my forks darn near every time I use the things. I move and load logs pretty often. I want my forks at max width for that. Sometimes I use them for digging out buckthorn. I want them all the way together for that. Just my .02.

Bought these: Small Compact Tractor and Mini Skid Steer Pallet Forks:

Small tractors don't have huge loader capacity so I wanted something on the light side. Those are 2200 lb rated and that's more than my loader can lift anyway. They weigh 238 lbs vs 400+.



Too bad they don't fit on the 3 point also:

That looks great for moving hay but not much else.

I was just showing how a fork frame can be made to fit on the 3 point or FEL QA.

I have that same set-up on my 2538. The "forks" actually move. There are about 6 or 8 different holes they will go in. The middle one can be taken out all together if you want to use as pallet forks. Tractor Supply sells the whole set-up for around 500 bucks.
