Skid Steer Quick Hitch attachments

Anonymous Poster · Apr 16, 2003

Does anyone know of any 3rd party attachments that will fit a 3130 Skid Steer Quick Hitch loader? I'm looking for a pallet fork. The one from Kubota lists for $930 that includes the frame and pallet fork set which seems a little high.

My dealer used this company to order my toothbar. I don't have it yet so I can't comment on quality, but maybe this will help you in your search. Good luck.

I'm not sure if you're talking about the industry standard "quick-tach" aka "Bob-tach". I have a B-21 Kubota with an ATI quick attach on the loader and a quick-attach bucket. I purchased pallet forks from Northern Equipment. I chose Northern because the forks were light weight [approx 250 lbs.], relatively inexpensive [approx $500] and could be shipped for under $100. The forks were rated for 2,000 lbs. - which is plenty for the 1,000 lb rating for my FEL. The most common forks are rated for about 3,000 lbs, weigh about 500 lbs., and cost about $700. The weight of the pallet forks is a major consideration for me. Hope that this helps. Paul.

I have an L3130 with the quick attach and it is differnt from a skid steer quick attach. Bobcat does make forks for both though. My Kubota/Bobcat dealer has forks for my quick-tach for a bit over $700 w/42" forks. The 48" forks are closer to $800. Lifting capacity was much more than what the tractor could ever lift, not sure on the wieght. They are beefy looking though, probably 500-600lbs

I could use a set but don't want to pay quite that much either.
Put a 17' header in my shop last night and they way my muscles feel today that price is looking better.

I'll have to call NorthernTool to see if it will work with my loader. The price is reasonable and has enough capacity.

Ok, I called NorthernTool about those pallet forks. They put me in touch with the manufacturer. According to the manf in/or after 1996 everyone started going to the Bobcat or universal style(?) quick attach. So those pallet forks will work with my Woods 1016 loader. I then called my Kubota/Bobcat dealer and he confirmed the Bobcat 700,800,900 etc.. was the same style quick attach.

I guess that explains some of the quick-tach differences.

I bought a set of Workmaster forks with a universal mount (i.e. 2 big channels and lots of pin positions) last year before I got my ATI QuickTach. I think the straight quick mount forks were cheaper then the universals which cost me around $650.

You might try www.worksaver.com. They have a fair selection
of skid-steer mount attachments and loads of toys in general.
