That appears to be a good price. Are they Kubota forks, or an aftermarket brand? Do you know the weight and capacity of each of them?

 

[ericher69]

Do not know any more info

I will try and email seller

Thanks

I had a B2920 (especially if these are clamp on forks and at that price I assume they are) get the shorter 42".
With another tractor I had clamp on forks and didn't like them. When I bought the 2920 I got the Kubota quick attach with a set of aftermarket forks. The difference between clamp on and a set of frame forks, IMO, is not even close. But you do pay for the difference, I think in the long run they are worth it and they put less stress on your loader frame and bucket compared to clamp on style.

They came of a crown forklift

I've always marveled at how forks don't bend at the corner, even over time, given the leverage...

How do you propose to attach them to your B2920?
I agree with Tompet. Clamp ons are not the way to go. There are many threads and many reasons (some posted by me) for this sentiment. The only reason that I ever ordered a set of Payne's to begin with was because they would be delivered quickly and I absolutely had to have something to unload a bundled up building that was being delivered to the house. Never again will I deal with those things. Especially since I now have SSQA and Bradco forks.

What do you mean by clamp on's?

I thought the all attached to some type of quick adapter?

I purchased a really nice set of clamp on forks from these folks...
I cut two pieces of 1/2" steel to use as a bucket support when screwing down the locks...
I have had very good success with these and would highly recommend them for those folk looking for a lower cost alternative or those that have a pin on bucket...

The forks you are looking at are probably skid steer standard, and will not fit the B2920 without a very heavy adapter. Check that out first.
The B tractors have low capacity and adding weight (forks weigh alot) to the loader and extending it out will reduce it too much.
The best setup for these small tractors is the Kubota factory quick attach with their own fork setup or from ConstructionAttachments.

if they are just crown forklift forks, you need to have some type of carriage to attach them them to your FEL

No matter how good you can clamp that type of fork onto your bucket, you are lowering the capacity you can lift by extending the center line of the load from the tractor

Best fork arrangement for any serious load is pin attach or better yet qa attachment forks
