Forks Pallet Forks

Again.....

Spent a few hours last night searching/reading all the threads about pallet forks because I have a need for a set ASAP. The bucket clamp on style would suit me fine, but the fork thickness is more than I want. They appear 2-3" and I recall a set or 2 that listed that # for a spec. EverythingAttachments carries the fork thickness (1 1/4") that would be ideal, but they're not clamp on from what I see listed.

My question is: can I get a set of pallet forks with its own frame set up (like EA's) that I can swap over in place of my bucket? I've seen mention of "pin on" IIRC, is that what this term means? As in I pull all the bucket pins and install the pallet fork frame in its place

My tractor is a New Holland TC24DA and no quick attach system

Thanks!!

I had a set of EA pallet forks for my old BX Kubota. They worked great. And, yes I had to knock out the bucket pins to install the forks. Without a quick attach set up, that was rather tedious because the pins had to line up just perfectly to get the forks/bucket on.. and vicsversa etc to get the bucket back on. I don't know what IIRC means.

Currently I have the clamp on style forks and am pleased. Your question about 1 1/4 inch thickness, i cannot address. It appears to me that most forks are about 3 inches wide X about 1 1/2 inches thick....just guesstamating.

IIRC is short for 'if I recall correctly'

I agree lining up the pins was tedious and a PITA as I've done it several times. For the limited usage that I'll use the forks, I can live with it if needed. I just wasn't sure if I could go this route since I don't have the quick attach option.

Most of the forks I've seen referenced are of the C channel type and I need the flat plate style.

Thanks for the info though as tomorrow I plan to call EverythingAttachments and Titan pallet and knowing this info will assist me better.

I can highly recommend the HD clamp on's from palletforks.com (4,000lb rating). They ship fast and are inexpensive, also get the spreader bar if you get clamp ons.

Sounds good to me:thumbsup:

I ordered the 6K lb forks from them today.... the flat stock version instead of the C channel.
Hoping to receive them by the weekend

Anybody find out where I can get a set of--- PIN style forks-- for a Kioti Lk3054 or even and universal set for the pin hook up let me know. Been checking everware and reading all the threads seems like all I can find are plate and the clamp on's, no problem for me and the pins I'll just get a quick hook from Kubota to hook up with ease. Thanks Nick

I just posted this in another thread, but:
We can have the Construction Attachments 42" compact pallet forks made for most pin-on applications for a $125 special build fee(pin-on mount). They are perfect for compact tractors because they only weigh 220 pounds and are rated at 1,800 pounds. Our forks ship free to a business or supporting freight terminal within 1,000 miles of Newton, NC.
Here's the video:

I have these EA pallet forks on my Kioto CK30 and I have been happy with them. I do have a SS QA installed which makes change out quick and easy. They sure would not get as much use as they do if I had to pull the pins to change them.
