So I'm assuming that clamp on pallet forks are already off the table...........

I tried add-on forks, did not like them. Got the cheapest set of 42" ssqa forks I could find. I've used the dickens out of them for years now, no issues.

I bought the cheapest set that I could find. The forks are fixed width and too close together, which made piling tree length logs a challenge.
Then I worked them too hard, tore out the backing plate, and haven't gotten around to fixing them.

Buy something decent to begin with and don't look back.

The thing I dont like about non clamp-on forks is they all seem to be just 4' wide or narrower, there are sometimes when I want full withed of bucket or atleast 5' for lifting tree length firewood..........

Long Pallet Forks are much more cumbersome when used to pick up brush and trees.
Long Pallet Forks often pierce the ground and get under tree roots when used for brush and trees, preventing lift until withdrawn and repositioned above grade. Consider 42" and 38" tine length.
( Debris Forks are 19" to 22" in length.)

When picking up 40"+ green tree trunks you will regularly hit 3,000 pounds with just one trunk loaded on your Pallet Forks.

When loading and moving brush, the ability to change the distance between fork tines easily is useful. Having optimal spread, narrow for fluffy loads, wider for compacted brush, reduces brush spillage during transit.

SSQA (Skid Steer Quick Attach) coupled Pallet Forks place load closer to the Loader pins, increasing lift, relative to bolt on Pallet Forks. SSQA forks include a rear operator guard which prevents logs from rolling off the forks and onto the tractor hood. Few who use bolt-on Pallet Forks for moving debris will not have had part of a load roll over the bucket and onto the tractor hood.

You need a lot of Three Point Hitch counterbalance weight to pick up heavy Pallet Fork loads SAFELY.

I take issue with the terminology used. He uses the term ‘bolt-on’ pallet forks several times, but in further reading, I believe he is miss using the term for CLAMP-ON pallet forks. With the corrected terminology to clamp-on forks, I can agree with his remarks.
To further clarify, when I hear/read the term ‘bolt-on’ forks I picture the very involved process of removing the BOLTS for a traditional referred to as a pin-on bucket. If you have this style of forks they will be mounted to the pins not almost 1 foot in front of them at the SSQA mount.
