Anyone have hydraulic adjust pallet forks?

Quite a few out there. Looking for suggestions. Going on 135HP tractor, so looking at medium duty (4000lb) ideally 42-48

If you're talking side-shift, a lot of people like it but I think it is a waist of money along with blocking the view a little. But, I drove forklifts for over 20 years, so eyeballing the center-of-weight of any load was second nature to me.

I really liked the type that spread the forks from narrow to wide. My work had 1 rough terrain forklift that would spread the forks from 4" out to about 72" and a JD 644 end loader that spread them from 32 inches to about 12 feet. That one was made in-house and was the handiest thing for unloading big stuff off of flatbed semi trailers.

YES! Narrow to wide. I could really use some. Saw exactly ONE used set in the last year on CL looking constantly. New are like $1500
