HLA attachments?

[Hunter8282]

Anyone have experience with HLA attachments?

Looks like they are Canadian.

Iirc, he's an HLA expert.

My pallet forks are HLA, they're quite sturdy.

I have 5 of their attachments. They are definitely farm grade+.
They paint jobs are average+. Expect to do a little touch up paint here & there.

My most recent HLA purchase a few months ago.

The Log grapple they make is excellent. I have made a lot of money with it.

What do you mean by farm grade+?

GREAT stuff, unlike the chinese junk many here buy!

A bit pricey but a quality built piece of equipment. No complaints.

I believe they make some of the best attachments. I have a couple of them.
I have their 6ft grapple and it is used quite hard. It has long greasable pivot points which prevent the clamps from twisting.
After much "AB"use the tines are still straight and the clamps are still straight and tight.
The hoses and cylinders are well protected.
They are pricey but well worth the extra cost.
I build machines for a living so I am a bit picky of all the little details. I would not hesitate to buy again.

HLA makes quality equipment. Basically, what you would expect from North American manufacturing. Much stronger than chinese junk. I have many of their implements. (forks, grapples, snow pusher, buckets, stump buckets, etc.) I am happy with their stuff as well as MK Martin. Cities, municipalities, etc. use their stuff too.

Thanks everyone. The dealer where I'm getting my tractor is also an HLA dealer. After talking with them and looking at way to many forks online, I decided to get the HLA 4K pallet forks from them. They were competitive in price and they bring them out when they deliver my tractor.

You can't go wrong with HLA.

My pallet forks are HLA, purchased from the dealer when I bought the tractor. Very happy with them. I see a lot of people online using their snow pushers and are happy with those.

The snow pushers seem really nice.

My HLA log grapple and 5K forks have seen a lot of combat.

They are definitely farm grade+.

Because they are farmer built. Just recently learned they are Mennonite.


To the OP. Everything said here is true. Higher priced than other name brands, excellent quality, will last you forever. I have pallet forks and round bale grapple from them.
