Working on a shed today, and my M7040 with the pallet forks was a real life saver!!

Nice picture, I need to get a set of pallet forks. What kind of shed are you building, what size? Looks very nice, I need to build a run-in shed in the next couple of months.

Hello Piller, 24x50 just needed some more space to put implements, and another tractor I have. Tire of stuff stuck here and there.

I sure like those pallet forks. They are next on my list for my 5040. Did you purchase them from a dealer or where did you ge them? What did a set like that cost you. Everyone who owns pallet forks say they use them for everything.

The forks and frame cost $1100 retail from Kubota. For the M7040 the QA FEL is required. The QA is expecially nice. From bucket to forklift takes about a minute.

eBay has a new LA1153 QA FEL currently for $4500. The loader and QA standard bucket retail for $5300 from Kubota.
