I own both, either one works for me. I tend to be more deliberate and careful with my shuttle shift Kioti DK5510. Maybe because I have the grapple on more than a bucket.
Like others have said, look on Craigslist or Facebook marketplace for good used forks. I found mine for $250 and they were heavy duty overkill for my 55 horse tractor.
I had kind of the same situation. I own wooded property with about 15 acres if fields and had it select cut timbered last summer. It rained towards the clean up phase and the logger’s tried their best to smooth out the land where they stored logs to load and had equipment, thus area was about...
