There are a lot of uses for pallet forks, which makes them one of the top sellers for us year after year. But before you just go and buy any old set, you need to consider a few things like: tractor size, tractor lift capacity, fork capacity, and fork length. We'll walk you through the factors you need to consider and give you recommendations for what we run on our tractors.

Just learned of some who broke his back when a hay bale he was lifting rolled back off his loader across his hood and plowed into him while seated. I just bought a set of forks with an extended "headache rack". I think the increased lift capacity of the ultra light forks is not worth the risk. Buy a frame with extended height or weld one on. A higher rail also helps protect your tractors grill when using forks as a poor man's grapple to move brush. Thanks for a great channel!

We drilled holes in the ends of the forks for our New Holland. They are great for attaching D rings and chains to and if we need to move a trailer you just attach a ball like you would any ball mount. We use off the shelf 1-7/8 and 2 balls and had a local machine shop cut the shank down on a 2-5/16 so all three can be mounted to either the forks or drawbar using the same nuts and the smaller wrench vs the large one you need to tighten or loosen a standard 2-5/16 ball. After nearly a decade of use it doesn't appear to have done any harm to the forks.

When it comes to loaders, i love our MX loader attacher on our kubota. You pull out a spring loaded double pin, and then take off the forks/bucket, and then when you put on something else, the pins automatically snap back in, so you can put on the bucket or forks without ever leaving the seat. It’s amazing! We’ve also had an old deere (my profile pic) which had a similar system on the loader, and then we also have a EURO 8 bracket on our new holland, its a good system we have over here in England.

I have a set of 48" HLAs for my JD 3038E that I bought from... uh... oh yeah -- Good Works Tractors!!! I've often been glad I had the extra length, but a shorter set and those extensions MIGHT have worked fine for those times. I still probably have my bucket on most of the time, but I have been surprised at how often the forks stay on, and how many uses I've found for them. Definitely a sound and wise purchase on my part -- both the product and the vendor!

A couple thoughts / tips on those hydraulic forks: When you uncouple the two hoses you have a male and a female quick coupling at the end of each hose. Try to couple them together when not in use. Keeps your coupler faces cleaner and equalizes the pressure on both side of the cylinders. Also on the skid steer / compact track loader, that is a “connect under pressure” manifold. Grab a wooden block, scrap piece of 2x4 etc and push hard on both male and female couplers on the machine. They will move in a quarter inch or so and vent any hydraulic pressure into the center case drain line. That should make life a little easier.
@jaysss6842
@jaysss6842 2 жыл бұрын
I meant to say: use the block of wood on the couplers rather than your hand. I am paranoid about hydraulic oil injection injuries so if you put the block o’ wood on the coupler and push on the block you should be safe.

A couple of more uses. I think I saw our Canadian friend, Gord, move his picnic table around. One thing that I picked up is a accessory that can be put on forks when you have the forks together and pull trailers around. Up to 6500 pounds. When your trailer challenged like me, its good to have plan B. 😆 lol

My contribution. For my little 26hp I ordered overbuilt 4k lb cap BEEFY SS forks to grow into or have better resale. (Has removeable center backstop) plus I use them as Grapple even though I have a grapple forks do better at some stuff. And one fork makes a good bail lift at 48 inches. I also choose 48 inch because sitting in the seat that's what I need to see the end of the forks. 36 is too short. Of course got to be adjustable. 100% all my implements are on pallets now and I go get what I need with the forks. This video is 100% right on info. What else can we ask for? You even mentioned Kioti. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

There is a way to make the pallet fork attachment more useful: have 3-point adapters welded on / built into the pallet fork attachment frame - a couple manufacturers offer this option. Hauling stuff on the back of the tractor is really handy for hauling cinder blocks on a pallet or backing up to a big rock, object or whatever where one’s vision of what is going on, i.e., exactly where are the tines, is safer and easier: no more standing up while on the tractor or using other contortions to see where the tines are being placed in the front of a tractor. Bottom line is no good reason for the quick-attach pallet fork frame to a front-only means to attach pallet forks to a tractor. Keeping heavy loads closer to the ground, behind, the tractor, is a better option instead of lifting large (and heavy) objects high enough to see where one is driving.

If possible try the forks lengths on your tractor or a dealers similar model. Get forks long enough to easily see the tips. Makes using them much easier. Or get the extenders if you want. You don't want to spend a long time getting the forks where you want them and certainly don't want to damage what you are picking up.

Install a small camera on the bucket so you can see the end of the forks. If your display unit is mounted to the dash area just in front of the steering wheel, it should work okay. (If you don't have a camera yet, this will give you a reason to buy one. GoPro is one brand which can be used for a lot of different things.

I have the bucket slip on forks right now, that I use on my BX. They waste a lot of capacity as they stick out about 24" from the arms. I just bought a set of 42" forks at an auction and a quick attach backing plate from Amazon, and with a little bit of bar stock, I will have a set for less than half of what these things cost now a days. They don't need to be super strong, as the tractor it limited to about 1000 pounds lifting at best. Ya got to save money wherever you can these days.

A problem with a ball hitch on the 3-point....gravity is your only downforce. If your trailer and tractor go over a bump, the trailer can lift the ball and 3-point, which can then slam down pretty hard. If this is hard enough, it can upset your control; and if it's often enough it can cause equipment damage. Best bet is to use a tow bar on the back. On the other hand, a ball hitch on the FEL has hydraulic force to keep it at the set height, so you don't have to worry about that sort of shock load.

Hate to see the trailer damage as i can relate. I had just had new garage doors and aluminum trim placed on our house. We didn't have the shop built yet, so I was keeping the tractor in the garage with 7' doors. I ran the ROPS into the brand new door trim. I wanted to cry :( My shop has 11' tall doors so no worries even with the tractor on the trailer :)

I wish KZbin allowed me to send pictures of my mangled SSQA plate after using 48" forks to move brush. Under load, attachments under a side load, can jump off the top rail of the SSQA plate and do considerable damage to the SSQA plate. It was a $1400 mistake and it happens often according to my Kubota dealer. Better to trash the SSQA plate than bend the loader, I guess. I would not recommend Forks over a Grapple. A tip for the hydraulic skid steer forks, prior to disconnect make sure the forks are not at the full width position. Disconnect hydraulic lines and connect them together. Any hydraulic fluid expansion due to heat will be dissipated by the forks trying to move apart from each other. I have used this technique for several years and it works for me.

Thanks for the tip about the hydraulics Tim! Oddly enough, I used to do that and somewhere along the way I totally forgot about doing so. Funny how that works! I've never heard of an attachment coming off the SSQA. Strange that your Kubota dealer has it happen all the time. How is a side load being applied to the attachment? That seems like a hard thing to do...or is it an uneven load, more on one side vs the other?

I have the 30 in clamp on with the stabilizer bar attached. And a 2ft headache rack that keeps the forks together. It can lift what I need. And I can take them off and on in seconds. It makes me use them more. I have the quick attach system too.

Most pallets are 40 by 48. Not all pallets are created equal. If you don't support the full length of the pallet quit often the pallet will break just past the end of the forks. Don't ask me how I know!

Agreed, we buy hundreds of pallets every month. It’s amazing the difference an operator can make too! 😂

Someone needs to make forks that attach individually to the SSQA, no back frame or whatever. The assembly where the locking levers are would serve as a back, but then you would have more lifting capacity with no frame, know what I mean? What do you think about that idea Courtney? I think they'd sell!

The back frame is practically the majority of the value. It allows you to secure items to the forks. A drum won't stay on unless it is level and doesn't bounce much. Same with logs. Unless you are always on flat ground or have extremely quick reflexes and hydraulics it is easy for some load to be lost. Without the back, curling it back to keep it on may result in a load on the hood or your lap. I went the other way and got a taller heavy duty frame that I can rely on to help secure the load.

Yeah, would really be meant for light duty and small capacity loaders I think...

@@brianhillis3701 see I feel like you could secure the load directly to the loader frame at the front and achieve almost the same result, but with a real tall load I can see what you're saying. It would be subjective to only certain applications of course, and hopefully come with some warnings but I see what you're saying for sure. They would be perfect for me, I just need to move a few smaller things around the house

@@GoodWorksTractors exactly. Would really help a lot with the sub compacts. I just have a BX2380 myself, not a whole lot of lifting capacity, but also I feel like the cost of what I'm suggesting would be significantly less than one with a full back setup since it's a lot less material to build
