When I got my Woods DuAll pallet forks they came with these brackets. I had gotten the Kubota Attachment Quick Coupler for the FEL also and these brackets unfortunately would not work with it due to a clearance issue.

So a friend and I built these, which are styled after the attachment points on the FEL bucket. I think this was actually my first welding project. After about 6 months I finally got around to painting them and actually putting them on the pallet forks - and I'm finding that having a set of pallet forks is dang handy ! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Nice job. Do you have a picture of brackets mounted on the Pallet Forks?

Ron,

Thanks, yes I do. I had intended to take one this morning but then I got tied up and couldn't snap it until later.

Here's a close up showing how the brackets and forks mount.

And here's a little longer shot, showing them on the tractor.

How long are the forks? They look a lot longer than my 36" <font color="orange"> Kubota </font> set.

Ron,

They are 42 inches long. They have a 2000 or 2400 lb capacity ..... depending on whether you believe the Woods website or the manual that came with them. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

The only way I'll ever come real close to that number is if I build an adapter to hook them up to the 3 point ..... although I did use them on the FEL to lift my diesel storage tote which had 175 gallons in it at the time ...... another TBN'er calculated that to weigh in at 1487 lbs ...... I dunno, but I was only able to lift it about an inch or so - just enough to move it out of the shed and get it out of the way.

When I bought the tractor the dealer was pushing these - had them in stock. When he found out about the bracket problem, he scoped out the Kubota forks - said they would be about $200 more, it would be a week or so before he could them, and they had less capacity. I told him we'd just stick with these and I'd make 'em fit. /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif
