42" Frontier forks

[dieselram]

I was just quoted $770 for the Frontier forks (42") not including tax, can I do better?

 

[putt_putt_green]

I paid $700 3 months ago or so. But I'm sure steel prices are going up up up.

 

[Nuru]

I would imagine they could do better.

I've never seen the Frontier forks but, I'd guess that they're not as heavy duty as the Worksite Pro forks.

As Nuru pointed out the Pro forks are in the price range you were quoted -- so, there should be some "haggle room" on the Frontier units; IMO.

Would anyone sell me some?

Got the frontier pallet forks when got the tractor. Absolutely love them and they fit and do not have to worry about if they will stand up to the rated use of the tractor. So for me this time it was worth it.

I'm being quoted $700 NIB.

I paid $700 after haggling recently for the Frontier forks. The dealer told me they cost them about $630. They were "marked down" to $790 on the tag already.

 

[dieselram]

No dealers around me have them in stock so they will ding me freight.

That makes little sense. They would have to pay frieght to get it to them either way........

Ouch! on the Markdown.

Oh they would ding you on freight anyway as it would be contained within the instock price too, typically.

 

[dieselram]

They are going to get you one way or another, but I am not getting hosed on them either.

 

[ScottK]

The difference in freight is if they are getting a large shipment at one time, the costs are far less than if they have to order just one for a customer. I routinely see my dealer take delivery of 15-20 impelents at one time - stock orders I think they are called - and then they don't charge the customer for shipping separately on those.

I just bought a set of 42" adjustable width forks from Everything Attachments for $695.00 with free shipping. They are very well constructed, and made specifically for the JD CX 200, 300 and 400 FEL's. I have no complaints. They shipped via UPS Freight. You should check them out.

I looked at those too but I would pay a little extra for green paint. For the $29 in savings, I would probably go Frontier. Any other chaper alternatives?

Hey dieselRam, I am sure you can get a can of Deere Green spray paint for about 6 bucks!

They are narrower than the Frontier Forks. The Frontier forks extend width wise beyond the bottom pins.

 

[mike57]

Just curious why you would want them to extend so far apart?

I put mine on full width when carrying logs. Much more stable that way.
