Front-End Loader Pallet forks. Question problem.

[radartech2]

Hey folks... I’ve been kinda busy and haven’t had time to search... so I’ll ask...

I have new pallet forks for my kubota 3400–
WRlong lightweight set on a quick attach...

But I find they slide side to side a lot and flip up more than I like...

Is there a way to secure them ?
Ideas? Quick ones at that...

Thanks

put a limiting chain from the root of both of the 3 point arms to the ball end on the other side, this will limit side to side movement

After looking at the website picture and reading the description the only thing I could recommend is trying to secure them to the bottom frame of the back guard. A bungee would be enough to keep them from bouncing around while driving without a load on them. My QA forks have a locking pin on top of each fork to keep them set in place.

I am guessing that you have pin top forks like these:

I use chains on mine:

Hose clamps or muffler clamps on the shaft will keep them from sliding sideways.

I like that chain idea.... and yea. Muffler clamps... I should have thought about that!!


What did you do? Just run a bolt thru the chain to hold it in a loop? Or those quick links with the threaded “nut”?
