Forks Great price for SSQA forks.

Just saw these on ebay... seems to be a really good price with free shipping

And another:

Are these any good? .... for light stuff anyway?

I have the titan ones and use the crap out of them with no issues. My loader is only rated at 1200 lb so I'll never hurt them.

Two things that I see, the forks don't adjust sideways and no extra rollback built in.

They are designed to use a 2x4 in the tubing for the roll back guard (like my clamp forks that I got rid of did)
Replaced them with an ssqa set of 48" forks and happy as peach pie.
And no width adjustment would be an automatic no go for me.

I agree with both Xfaxman & homesteader13.... without width adjustment they would be a no go for me also...

Fixed forks are an instant non starter here.

And this is what I mean about "extra rollback built in". It helps to keep what you are carrying from falling off when going downhill:

I agree that adjustable width between blades is desirable, but would not "extra rollback" be simply a mater of curling the ssqa plate?

That depends entirely on the particular loader's QA rollback angle.

Another no. Adjustable spacing is worth spending a bit more on. My MTL forks were just over $500 last year and rated for 3500 lbs IIRC

I have a set of 4400# EA Extreme loader forks for my L48TLB, they are adjustable, and they are very nice.
I also have a set of 2000# non adjustable 3pt. forks (Agri Supply) for my little Ford 1920.
I find that I use 3pt. the non adjustable forks most often, because I rarely need the loader extra height, and the smaller FEL tractor is much easier to maneuver in tight spots.

My wife loves landscaping with large rocks. Being able to adjust the forks side to side allows you to slide the forks under a rock you would struggle to roll into a loader bucket. It cradles the rock and off you go to where the wife “thinks” she wanted it.

And from previous posts on TBN most tractor loaders do not have enough.
