BTW, my comments about price weren't really at Deere&Co. It seems like there are some items that are crazy high priced due to litigation, no matter what brand.
Quick Tach frame for loaders

I just talked to a forklift place here in KC. They have fork lift tines already mounted on a type of backing plate. Length is 36" to 42" inches, he was not sure. Supposedly they go on a Raymond fork lift. He quoted me $200. With luck all I will have to do is add the hooks and pins in order to mount it on my 420 loader.
Will go have a look at them next week and give a report back.
BTW, my local farm and home store has plain bale spears with a receiver that you can weld on yourself for about $85.

Picked up these this morning. Pretty heavy duty. Overall the frame is 33"x25"high. Also ordered the hooks and pegs today. They will be in by end of the week.
I think I will just add two pieces of tube sticking out from each side to mount the hooks and pegs. If the price is not too bad on 2x3" tube I may cut off the two vertical pieces to save some weight and run the tube all the way across the back.
I am open to suggestions though.

Great idea, they do look stout! Post some pics as you get them set up!
