I have a 5 year old B 2320 with fixed pin bucket attachment. I am looking for pallet forks but all seem to require investment in a quick connect. Is anyone aware of pallet forks that utilize fixed pins for attachment?

There are forks available for fixed pin attachment but if you can't find any,they are simple to fabricate.

Depending on what you need to lift, you could go the route of the kind that clamp to the bucket.

Check out the load capacity first. I found when I was shopping around the Kubota's seemed a bit light on FEL capacity. You will have less then 1000lbs at the pins and likely an effective working load capacity of under 500 lbs using pallets.

I love the forks, and they are necessary for the way I store and handle firewood (on pallets). But even with the larger machine I have, I added RimGuard and use 900 lbs of ballast on the 3 PH.

When I had my JD855, I used a carry all on the 3PH to move pallets as it had a lot more capacity than the FEL. For occasional use that may be worth considering as switching over pin FEL attachments will get old quick even if you are handling light pallet loads.

Do you have any idea the supplier that may sell fixed pin forks?

Since there is so many different pin configurations from various manufacturers, there is really no money to be made making them.

I taking a different approach. Not sure it will work for others, but it will do what I need. I've got a thread started here somewhere, but I don't have too many pictures yet because I don't have the details worked out. I'm using a Carry All rigged to strap/chain into the FEL bucket that will slide into a standard pallet to lift firewood. I don't have any scales or other means of testing load capacity.

I have a set of fixed pin forks that I would like to sell, but they are from a medium size Ford TLB, and would likely not fit your machine.
