Light duty clamp on forks recommendations

   / Light duty clamp on forks recommendations #11  
Thinking some forks would be really handy for unloading occasional deliveries. Kubota L3600 loader load limit is something like 800 lbs as I recall and with forks out farther should probably limit to about 500 so 1000 lb forks should be good. Have hear the stabilizer bar is a good thing to have. I saw the Northern tool ones are stamped rather than square tubing. Maybe ok but wanting to get some feedback on recommended suppliers.

Ebay is where I got mine. I got the long ones because I pick up pallets. Use on my 2400 as I have a fork attachment for the 6530. You are very correct on the brace bar to keep them parallel if your load will allow you to use it and also your taking into account ft x lbs....if the feet go out the pounds have to come off is absolutely correct.....limiting factor on small tractors and even moderate loads.....besides requiring adequate rear end weighting of some sort.

I have a pair from Titan and they have been great. The bucket can get flexy with heavy loads but it's never deformed or bent. If I did frequent lifting of heavy loads I'd get proper forks, but these are fine for infrequent use or light loads.

I took my backhoe off of my truck, with clamp on forks. Did not bend the bucket. You just can't go overboard with it.

BucketSolutions light duty at the link is $299. Titan with similar ratings (AFAICT) that weight slightly more are about half that. What's so great about BucketSolutions? Maybe I am missing something?

You got me?? I did not do any shopping. When I had one issue, the service response was good. My model was the 43 inch medium/heavy duty with the stabilizer bar....They weigh 65 lbs each fork....free shipping. The lift capacity is rated 2,600. lbs That was eight years ago. Get a quote from them....maybe they will throw in a free stabilizer bar. Maybe there is a better design on the clamp and pad and depth as it reaches into the bucket...

Cheers,
Mike
