Need advice please. I tried to search the threads but I probably messed up, couldn稚 fire anything.

I need to buy pallet forks with quick attach.

I sort of know a guy at Skid Pro, I have their 4 in 1, and I have a note into him. They tend to be heavy, expensive and great products.

I致e got the MX 5800 tractor. I don稚 foresee any super heavy loads but don稚 want to under buy either.

Any suggestions?

Thx in advance

This is a great strong, yet lightweight(only 310 pounds, even with 48" long tines) set for an MX tractor: EA 3,000 Pound Capacity Pallet Forks

This is all great info! Thanks. I've been looking for a set for the 210 loader on my JD 2210.

Thx to all.

I’m leaning toward Skid Pro.

I have their 4 in 1 and they treat me pretty good.

Their stuff is heavy and expensive but HIGH QUALITY and made in USA.

Thx again

I bought my pallet forks (quick attach mounting) from McGrew Equipment, at one of their auctions. they will get a batch of pallet forks from different manufacturers and they go pretty quick at auction. The forks are rated at 4800 lbs, and I have used them to push over small trees, and basically beat the crap out of them and they have taken everything I have tried.
By far, these pallet forks have paid for themselves many times over.

I have a set from MDS. Excellent quality and not terribly heavy. Mdsmfg.com

Ditto on the Titan (Palletforks.com) pallet forks...I highly recommend welding an upper 2' backing (cheap angle iron, ok -- like that I used from the Titan shipping container for their heavy duty Stump Bucket) for safety and utility. I also recommend purchasing a Third wrought iron fork for picking up brush, etc. And, Titan's reasonably priced 5' pallet fork extensions work very well with my 3' forks!! I use the forks (with 5/8" plywood sheet) a LOT for a Handy adjustable work table, etc, and, of course, lifting/unloading items.

Shucks, if U weld, get some 3 inch channel and make a set of clamp ons for lighter duty work.
Most CUTs can't lift more weight than clamp ons could handle anyway.

But, if you drop the weight of the bucket, you can actually pick up more :)

I really liked the engineering of the Artillian system. Pricier than most other options, but seem to be very well made and thought out.

They have attachments available that fit onto the pallet fork frame.

I would have gone that route, except a friend is scrapping a 3000# capacity forklift and I am welcome to anything from that machine that I want. I will very likely duplicate the front hoe bucket of the Artillian system.

I have a set of Everything Attachments XTreme forks on order. I like the large tall frame for brush etc. Unfortunately EA is a month behind so I have to wait awhile for them.

Well, I spoke too soon. I just ordered my forks a little over a week ago with an estimated build date of one month. EA just emailed to say my order is shipping today! I'm looking forward to getting these pallet forks and put them to use.
