Can anyone point me in the right direction to find some clip on forks for a GC2610?

As a side note, have had my tractor for about one month now --> Love it. Great little tractor. Not as big or powerful as the tractors I had growing up on the farm, but perfect for my current needs.

Received the Payne forks last week - they are pretty nice. Price was $300 shipped to me, and that included the stablizier arm they usually sell for another $60 or so. The pictures they have online do not clearly represent what I received. What I received was much nicer, with some nice improvements. I would definiately recommend these to anyone else looking for a set of forks.

Sorry for not checking back into the forums quicker, just now seeing the request for pictures. I will take some this evening when I am home and post them online. :)

Have been using them quite a bit since I received them. I am in the process of building a house, so the Massey, or "Manuel" since it is my manual labor, has been kept busy. Forks have held up well, although there is a slight dimple in the bucket's sheet metal where the forks attach. But it's not worth getting upset over, it's not noticeable really and I've lifted some heavy loads with the forks have had no issues. The forks are quite a bit stronger than what the GC2410 can lift.

Was a bit disapointed in the tractor though. With a pallet that had six bags of 80 lb mortar mix on it I was unable to lift the pallet. But the center of gravity for the load being lifted was probably a good 2-3 feet out from the edge of the bucket, so I was outside of the stated operating range for the loader. (I recall it being around 850 lbs at the pivot point, and ~550 at the bucket edge)

Although I was impressed when I lifted a 30+ foot long 12 inch tall I-beam up and moved it around. I had to assist the bucket by pushing up with my arms, but she lifted the beam up and I got it moved. Glad I had the bachoe on, I needed the counterweight!
