Pallet forks for your tractor

dragoneggs · Apr 5, 2020

How big is your tractor? Weight is a huge deal for SCUTS. Many forks are heavy and take up too much of your capacity. For bigger tractors this is not a big deal.

Get a proper set if you expect to live more than 5 years. Money well spent.

Why would you want to make the last 5 years of your life suck? And who needs money when you’re dead anyway.

You will not regret buying the pallet forks.

There cannot be any clearer message. I paid about seven bills for mine, Landpride SSQA for my L4400 Kubota. I was deaf to buying them for quite a while. The kicker was when I had a major building remodel project come up. I bought em and never looked back.Don't wait till your an ol' man to shell out the dough for a real good unit.

I was considering getting a grapple when I was advised here on TBN to try pallet forks first. I never needed the grapple after buying the forks.

Forks are far more versatile than I imagined. And somehow I use them far more than also imagined. There is the saying, 'work smarter not harder'.

I use the forks way more than the bucket on my tractor . All my impliments and extra material is stored on plastic pallets . Also use it a lot for fire wood . A lot easer to rig of off forks than a bucket.:drink:

I bought QA when I bought my RK24 and am very glad that I did, I use them so much that I cannot imagine not having them. I had thought about buying a grapple but did not want to spend the money which was significant and the sales rep at RK told me to get the forks and forgo the grapple, his opinion was that unless you are going to do a lot of specialized work that would call for a grapple it was just to cost inefficient.
As it turns out he was dead on for me the amount of tree and brush work that I do does not call for the grapple and I can do just fine with my forks, plus I use the forks for so many other things that to be without them is unthinkable to me and yes they are on my tractor as a default until I need the bucket.
