Forks Pallet Forks For Rear 3 Pt Hitch

[KubotaSteve]

The carry all from TSC is quite handy. It will hold quite a bit more than the 1,000 pounds rated but I don't recommend doing it on a regular basis. I had 6 almost new railroad ties on mine. I was figuring whether or not it would be too much weight for tractor 3 pt hitch and never gave it a thought about the carry all limit. I figure it was around 1,400 pounds and it didn't bend the carry all or break anything.
Note to self: Calculate limits on everything before moving as the project is only as strong as the weakest link.
I'm probably remember that for at least today

Homier sells one at $60.00 with a rated capacity of 400lbs and there is the tsc one for me at $120.00 and a capacity of 1000lbs.

The TSC $120 one looks good to me, too. I downloaded their picture as a model for the one I fabricated, and I may still go buy the TSC one if I find the one I built from scrap is too light-duty.

King Kutter also carry's a heavy duty model that has a rating of 2000lbs.

Here is mine, made from an old set of forks and capable of lifting far more than any of my tractors can lift. I designed this as a modular unit and has 4 major components so it comes apart easily and despite the total weight, each part is easily lifted and stored. It can also be stored nearly flat against the wall so it doesn't take much room when not in use.

I should point out that a hydraulic top link is STRONGLY recommended when using a 3pt pallet fork.

Here is a pic of the Bradco adapter plate mounted to the three point hitch and using regular pallet forks with quick attach mounting. Works very well and is very strong and can lift up to 3000 lbs or more

Not sure what you are looking for, fork lift type with mast, or standard 3pt type. I found an old 'woods' model once that had a 12' mast and side shift that mounted on 3pt. Thats the only one I ever found, shoulda bought it. I am looking at a CUT w/loader now so my direction has changed, but I had considered buying a mast and making a 3pt adapter for it. You can finds masts reasonable I think, around $900 to $1500 depending on the size and capacity and condition. You need a HEAVY tractor to lift weight high, I have a 1650 Oliver, so the weight I was wanting to lift (600 to 1000 lbs) was not a concern on flat ground.

Good luck.
