Recommendation for 3-point forks

[Spike56]

I am looking for a decent 3-point set of forks. My application is to leave my front-end loader on and be able to haul some tools (shovels, chain saw....) along. I wouldn't mind if someone had a ready made "basket", but I have not seen one ? So, will construct my own pallet to use. I see prices all over the spectrum ? Any recommendations?

I am currently considering a 3 point to ssqa adapter to use my existing pallet forks off the rear. There are direct 3 point pallet forks out there, but not nearly as many as ssqa forks.

I built a three-point adapter for the JD hook and pin style pallet forks.

Curious why you wouldn't just use a carryall for transporting tools, etc. on the back end?

That is what I am looking for. But, I do not have any method to attach it to the 3-point ? Never did a search for "carry-all" ? I need to buy something ready made, can do the lumber part, but need the metal part AND I do not have a quick attach, so hopefully easy to hook / unhook ?

I bought my County Line carryall frame from Tractor Supply and did the wood part myself. If you look close, you can see that I also added a receiver hitch to pull my utility trailer behind. Here is what the bare frame looked like (except for the green paint).

Okay, thanks for answering a dumb question ! This looks like what I need and then add my own wood / box. I checked on Tractor Supply website. There are (2) different ones ? Weird ? At least the numbers following the product seem different ?

They appear to have slightly different top link connections, so you might want to think about which one works best for your tractor. Sounds like you're not using a quick hitch, so it may not matter. The one I bought from there was not quick hitch compatible, so I had to make an adapter.

No quick hitch here. I had bought a quick hitch for the front years ago, but it did NOT help that much removing the bucket and putting on a hay spear takes two grown men and a small boy to do. If everything is PERFECTLY level, works ok but ....
Thanks for the advice. I *really* need something on the rear to "carry all".

I use a three-point Double-Fork Carrier from Hay King for all sorts of material and tool handling. Heck, I even use it to move round bales of hay!

Very solid and well-built. You can certainly build whatever type of bucket or platform to fit on it.

Hay King is a small business located in Taylor, Texas. I have several of their products. Highly recommend them. More info here: Hay King Loaders

Everything Attachments makes a nice set of rear forks. Lots of adjustment for the top link to work with a QH too.
