Looking for a set of pallet forks for my Kubota MX5800. I like my Everything Attachments grapple & landscape rake & am considering one of their pallet forks. What size (42" or 48") & capacity do y'all recommend for my tractor?

Get a set of 48'' forks.......they are usually between 3000-4000# capacity, which extends past your lift capacity anyway.

48" 3000 -4000 pound capacity. I have Land Prode on my MX5200

I agree. 48". Even the 42" probably exceed your FEL capacity. So go for the longer forks. Broadens usage.

My research put Express Steel as the best option for 48" 4k forks. <$800

I use 48”, 4000# forks on my MX 6000. The longer forks are more versatile and easier to see the tips when you’re maneuvering to position.

I went with 42" EA forks for my L4701 and wish I had gotten 48". Thought I'd prefer the shorter/more manuverable ones, but have found I'd rather have slightly longer forks, or maybe just extensions so I can more stably lift larger pallets (I've had a few items delivered on 7' pallets).

Depends what you are using them for. I bought 42" and they are perfect for moving IBC totes full of wood. longer forks would offer no advantage and might even 'spear' the tote behind the one I am moving.

I found the solution to "not seeing the tips" to be a cheap back up camera. Camera has other uses as well.

I also have a set of these. I believe I paid $750 shipped with lift gate. There american made too.
