Forks Paynes Forks for FEL bucket

Mosey · Nov 6, 2003

Has anyone tried these? Looks like a pretty good setup for attaching pallet forks to a FEL bucket:

I think Harv has something very similar that he uses. I don't know if they're the same brand or not. If memory serves me correctly, the ones he uses seem to extend even further back into the bucket than what the pictures on the website show.

I know he's posted some pictures of his in the past. Maybe he'll post them again, or someone can find them. I'll do a search and see if I can find the thread they were in. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

O.K. I found the thread. Here it is. Bucket Forks

Hey, that "Ball Clamp" was my idea!! I have not executed it yet, but I thought of that over a year ago. Oh well, guess I can't retire early! /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

They look good, and I wish I'd seen them before I bought mine. Mine are made by CTI, solid steel forks and very high quality, but they weigh 90 lbs each! So my lifting capacity is reduced by quite a bit over the lighter duty forks. At a rating of 800 lbs, the Payne forks would have been perfect for me.
