Have you tried a local Bush Hog dealer? Their website should have a dealer locator feature.

Very expensive, like $1500.00 expensive. I have an M346 and Bushhog does sell a set for their quick connect.
Here is a link to a company that sells the quick connect blanks so you can build your own: ArmStrongAg : Home Look under parts and service.
Also, here is a link to a past thread on this same subject: http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/build-yourself/92128-bushhog-brand-loader-quick-attach.html .
BTW: I took an old hay fork and welded a set of pallet forks that I had given to me, that were too worn out to be used in a warehouse. They are 48" forks off of a forklift.

If there happened to be a business near you that deals in forklifts then they'll have old ones that are still in good enough shape for a homeowner, then take them to a welding shop to have a frame made and you're away to the races. I spent 20 yrs thinking they were too expensive and not worth having until I lucked out upon a set and now I honestly wish that I had spent whatever it would have taken to have been able to use them all that time. The uses are truly endless.

tried 3 places today and all 3 told me they cant sell used forks due to insurence reasons. 1 place did say i had permision to aquire them from their scrap metal bin when they were available

Lot of (4) Pairs of 5?x48? class 3 Warehouse Forks | eBay
If you check this auction they have several sets of forks going this week. You could come up with a way to connect them I would think.

godliness w contentment is great gain. was hoping to buy without paying a premium for new. the local bush hog dealer can obtain one for 1299.00 + tax. there is one more affordable we just have to find it...amen! faith hope and charity, the greatest of these is charity..can i get a witness?

How heavy is your loader?
call Construction Attachments, they just custom made a fork setup for my Kubota pin-on for a lot less than that. You have to buy it from a dealer-I did Everythingattachments. They were great.
If you can do some welding then check out the guy on ebay with the forks and bars cheap and free shipping.

got a set of used forks today. 50 bucks, but dont tell the cfo, she thinks i paid 100.
i found a small independent shop and at first he didn't want to sell them to me but when i explained what i was going to use them for and that it would be cash "out back" he was thinking beer money and off i went with a nice set. actully gave me a choice of 5 different sets.
going to buld a frame so i dont tear up that quality metal the bota bucket is made from
