Forks Pallet Forks wanted, with skid steer attachment plate.

[Reg]

I've been browsing the various clamp on fork threads for quite a while now.
I think its time to just suck it up, bite the bullet, spend some MONEYYYyyyyyy.
So, I doubt that I'd need anything over 2,000 lb capacity, but 3,000 would be a "nice to have".
Used is OK, or new they're not OUTRAGEOUSLY priced.
Prefer southern New Hampshire (if new) or Mass if used.

Send private message if you have something that is fairly close, I want to buy within a week if possible.

tnx.

have you tried a skidsteer dealer? Ours has lots of attachments like that but we live in Florida

Thanks,
Yes they quoted me about $120 for shipping, which makes them about equal to dealer price here in Mass.

I'll try the skid steer places - too obvious for me to have thought of on my own (-:

Here's another source on-line that supposedly has good prices. You may want to get a quote from there also.

Forklift Forks - Fully Forged & Guaranteed

A local guy has Bradco forks and the frame for $695 (+ 5% Mass sales tax).
4ft forks, 4800 lb rating, I neglected to ask about 5ft forks but might call him tomorrow with that question.

He is a Gehl dealer, but I don't know if that means that all GEHL dealers are likely to carry Bradco forks.

I have the QA Bradco forks for my Kubota 5030 (853 FEL)

They are one of my most used attachments; good strong durable and quality built.

I will second the Bradco q/a forks. I purchased the Bradco compact tractor forks for my Kubota B3030 and I have been very happy with them.

The local CT dealer is Woodbury Tractor which is were I got them.

I will third the bradco forks. I have the same lighter duty ones that amigauser has. Chappell Tractor aslo carries them in Milford, NH.

What tractor are you putting these on? What are the FEL capacities? If it is a smaller to midsize unit - the lighter duty forks will be better as they are lighter leaving more lift for the load. if you have >~1,500# lift, I'd look at the heavier units (what your GEHL dealer has). I'd stick with the 4' forks - the 5' will get in your way more.

check local rental places, too - occasionally they get rid of their "beat up" forks for a reasonable price. When I was doing some price checking, I found forks at our local White machinery for $750 - $950 new, or used for $350-$550 at the local rental yards.
