Forks Clamp on buchet forks recommendation

[SleepingDog]

I want to get clamp-on bucket forks for my NH TC24DA and was wondering which ones I should look at and I also need some help in calculating the correct size for my loader 12LA. I'll be using it mostly for moving around building materials like bags of cement, bricks and other stuff. Should I go local to buy or is it better (cheaper) via the net?

I bought mine from Blue Line Manufacturing (http://bluelinemfg.com/) a couple of years ago. I got the smallest ones, that only weigh 45 pounds each for my Kubota B2710. I paid about $300 with shipping and they are extemely well made. I'm very happy with them.

Here are my forks. Sorry, didn't bother moving my 6" auger, but hopefully its good enough to tell something about them.

Instead of FEL forks, I purchased a 3 Pt fork (with 1,000 lb capacity) for my JD 770 for $180.00 from the local JD dealer. I wanted to use this for a 25 gallon 12 volt sprayer with 140" boom among othet things and didn't want that in front of me. Granted I don't have the lifiting height of an FEL fork, but I can carry materials in the front and the rear and the loader is available. I don't have to worry about the forks loosening in use. I was also concerned about the forks possible bending the FEL bucket, but that does not appear to be a problem from reading here.
