DON'T BUY PALLET FORKS 👎😝

I'd love to see a fuel transfer tank with this style of attachment.

[@anindividual3889]

That's actually a cool idea. That would come in handy if I was fencing and had my auger on the front, I could haul a lot of posts on the back forks.

[@87mattjt]

As someone who’s run forklifts in multiple applications, and was one of the main reasons i bought a tractor, this is an awesome design, if i didnt already have a set of forks this would be top of my list, the modularity, and versatility and thought put into this is amazing…really making me think how to justify having a second set🤔. Great job guys!

[@jacobpage128]

I purchased a set of these a month after I bought a tractor from good works. (I know, should have bought them at the beginning). My feedback is the parking stands are fantastic for when you need to switch back and forth between bucket and forks several times doing one clearing tasks. Chain hooks are great too. The bolt on headache rack I would buy and use it as needed. My only negative is that the JDQA top hooks are at an angle where they hit the piston sleeves when you pull the forks all the way in. But they had to cut the weight so I get it. Only happened to me once or twice. These are excellent forks though! I’ve carried some small logs on the back while carrying a load of split firewood in the bucket. Cut my trips in half!

[@benagain7617]

It would be really cool if these had 3 point on the other side also so you could lift up 3 point implements with your loader!

[@kdegraa]

Some tractors have front hitches.

[@tcmits3699]

​@@kdegraal just converted my rear 3pt to SSQA with hydraulic top link. Now front and rear are the same

[@jeepjeffy04]

[@kdegraa]

@@jeepjeffy04 yeah pretty well right. Look at the loader of a typical modern compact tractor then compare them to the loader or mounts for a real earth moving machine.

[@johnniwa308]

I have dug trenches using one fork stabbing into the ground and lifting. Its slow but it's better than a pick and shovel.

[@williambartholomew5680]

What would be swell is if you could add a set of those upper JDQA cups on the front of the fork set frame/bulkhead, this would allow you to pick up the forks BACKWARDS on your front end loader so you can now fit your forks & tractor on a trailer without spinning the forks around by hand. I work for a tractor dealer moving tractors & implements all day everyday, my only complaint with forks is they make the tractor 2-4 feet longer than it was without anything on it so unless you set them on the trailer then break your back turning them around to fit under the front of the tractor (TWICE since you get to do it again to unload) you'll need a longer trailer. I think this improvement solves a big issue few have considered but all would envy. And all it takes is mounting 2 more of those JDQA upper cups directly opposite of the current ones so someone can pick them up backwards just long enough to park on the trailer - or in the case of shed storage you can now have the bulkhead against the wall to consume much less space.

[@DustonDiekmann]

I made my own about a year ago for about $300 in materials. Im sure its not as light as that, but it works for me

[@glennrush6389]

I just bought one for my JD tractor and absolutely love them so far.. I have already used them for pallets, downed limbs from storm damage, moving logs, and corner posts.

[@shanejacobson5435]

I just received my order, can't wait to try these out! Of course now you have green! I should have waited a week. I actually probably would have picked black anyway if I had the choice.

[@roygwilliams]

Just got mine in last week and immediately used them the break down the rest of the pallet of goodies. Loving them so far. Glad to know that I can leave the lower 3pt links down on my JDQA. I noticed the tines hit them when they are up. Also, that will keep them in a position where they are always ready front or rear. Really love the design.

[@jmcguire5151]

Shouldve put a 2nd receiver tube in the same spot as the one you have put on the top of the center bar. Some trailers sit higher than what the 3pt goes up.

[@josephesouth]

Some ideas: chain slots on the top, similar to the Artillian frame. A hook like add on to the top rail, that would catch the lip on a trash bin. Something similar to the edge tamer add on for trash bins. I realize I could put the bins on a pallet, but what fun is that? For one bin, I use my quick hitch’s hook and a 1/2 pipe across the bottom slots.

[@ArtietheArchon]

if you have a space restriction with the long forks you can "compress" the length of your tractor and forks with lift and tilt right

[@kenbee1028]

I'm glad you made the idea happen, and US made too. I've been putting off getting forks, waiting for these. In addition to forks, a tow hitch receiver, and weight rack, they'd make a great base for a heavy duty carryall that could be easily dropped and recovered, very versa...

[@mtkreger]

Clever design. Mine are JDQA only. I bought them to help move materials for when I was building my deck... definitely a back saver. I've found that I've used them for a lot more than I thought I would.

[@HamiltonvilleFarm]

I'm gonna get one for my TYM. I love this idea.

[@dpistone10]

Very nice design. So glad I was able to watch this video. I learned a lot about Pallet Forks.

[@bonsukan]

Courtney, This is awesome. I could offer a suggestion…the option to screw on hay bale spears would make this product even more complete.

[@Boseph78]

Seems to me that if they offered a hay spear to socket into the reciever hitch on there it would be super convenient.

[@duck-n-cover477]

It's worth mentioning that a standard pallet is 48x40 and usually loads from the short side.

[@Bad-Karma]

A good solid headache rack and then I'll buy in.

[@brianhillis3701]

Add a headache back with a second row for forks. The upper set would help to stabilize the load and also be used as a spear mount. Using the lower forks for weight and the spear more for stability of load. The upper forks would help when moving saplings with a big dirt ball. The bags of sand and gravel handles go on there and the lower forks carry most of the weight lower.

[@calebbirdwell4309]

You should add bale spear sleeves to the frame

[@denniseft6460]

I had a fork carrier made at a local welding shop back in 2003. Loader/ 3 pt.

[@BearsZX72]

Vert nice. I'd like to have this attachment. However, I need hay bail spears too. Maybe on the next design, add the sleeves for hay bail spears? Then I would buy ASAP.

[@shadowulf]

Good to see the progress you've made. I'm working on finding some IBC totes to use for various projects (firewood, brush bins, water totes, etc.). This would make "flip-flopping" forks for other uses much easier

[@KalebBroadhead]

I guess I don't get it... I see a lot of positive comments below but you couldn't unload a truck or trailer with this limit in lift height. So it's just for moving stuff around on the ground?

[@jeffshiner6087]

I tend to store a ton of stuff on pallets and move them around often during the season. I don't need much more than a few inches of height as it's repositioning, not loading. Perhaps others do similar tasks where height is not required.

[@jdirt1982]

All I have to work with is 2 inches......

[@GoodWorksTractors]

Lots of uses besides trucks and trailers...use your imagination.

[@3sparewashers-lg3gf]

That’d unload a truck when mounted on a loader.

[@brandtwebber5761]

You can pick more with your 3 point so if you did have something dropped on a pallet , you could move it around. It could be handy, without hydro top link could be a pita, not real sure.

[@SteveLurvey]

Placed my order yesterday. I’m glad I waited, for the cost of a few hundred over landspride I’m excited

Well that is interesting. Having been a forklift operator anong other things in my life idk of i would want these on the back of a forklift because while driving i couldn't see the load

[@jefferykeeper9034]

Question why did they go to the two handle skid steer hook up, because my Tractor only has one and I like it alot better.

[@TayschrennSedai]

I have some static solid steel rear forks that weigh a metric ton but don't bat an eye on lift - these are much more usable haha - on my LX2610SU I can't get the tips all the way to the ground though like you can

[@mekosmowski]

Is it the tines or the frame or both with the 1 ton weight limit? If I started with these on a >1 ton lift capacity tractor, could I simply upgrade (or increase the number of) the tines to safely lift more?

[@JCWren]

I notice that you have the rear forks on the JD basically hanging off the top hook, which puts all the weight on the two pins in the hook. Is this considered "correct", or should the pins be fully seated in the pin carriers at the bottom, and the hook should be in the set of holes that give the fullest seating without carrying any weight? I also usually use a bushing on the top link pin so it fully engages front to back in the hook and doesn't bang around.

[@GoodWorksTractors]

Standard design. I never used a bushing in the top link pin...ever.

[@Morpheen999]

Im digging the Kuiu sweater! I really like the multi mount pallet forks, the more function the better!

[@Skynet-1]

I have the JD 42" pallet forks but my JD grapple lives on my 2025R during the summer. I just don't have a need for pallet forks on my 3 point hitch.

[@GoodWorksTractors]

Forks are a poor man's grapple. You could essentially double the load you're moving if you had forks on the back. Load up with the grapple, then slide the forks under another log or brush pile. Point being, if you didn't have forks, why would you not want a set that is more versatile? At least, that's how my mind works. More options, the better.

[@HarDrv]

4-6k capacity (just for peace of mind) and a headache rack and they would be perfect. Unfortunately I’ll probably be buying a set before that happens.😪

[@GoodWorksTractors]

Won't be building a version at that rating. No compact tractor lifts 4k lbs. Hardly 3k on the biggest. Even more rare for compact tractors to actually lift that much...most loads are under 1,000 lbs...big loads 1,500-2k lbs.
