I am looing for a set of pallet forks for an 1153 loader. Complete setup, frame and forks. Anyone know of a good buy or possibly an aftermarket one that fits the quick detach on the 1153?
I have a set of Woods aftermarket skid steer QA forks/frame. (M5400 with LA 1001 loader)
Best investment I ever made!!
1. Welded the mounting ears for a fisher plow setup to the fork frame. In the winter, I remove the forks and install the plow with the standard pins. In the summer, I pull the plow off and move alot of things around with the forks. Last summer I carried 2100# of roof shingles with the forks. Rear tires are loaded and I had a rear blade on for ballast and the tractor was still lite in the rear end.
I use the Bobcat QA Forks. They are extremely well built, adjustable fork spacing and different fork length availible. I have the forks on more than my bucket.
This past fall I purchased a quick-tach pallet fork setup from Andrew at Iowa Farm Equipment. Cost was reasonable and I have been very happy with them. They ship anywhere in the country.
I especially like the ability to quickly and easily go back and forth from a bucket to pallet fork.
