JD Quik Attach Forks

[ejb17]

Would like to know if anyone knows the priciing for a set of forks that will attach to my 300cx? I found a set locally for 600.00 that do not even have the paint scratched. They were made by Horst Welding with sliding tines,48" long and 2000 lb capacity? Thanks in advance.

The Frontier ones (JD) seems to range from $700-$800 or so...And I have heard good things about the Horst ones also.

I would say jump on those!! Deere forks are around $850 to over $1000 I think. I had a set built and have around $900 invested.

EJB,

I see you have a 666 JD snowblower. How well do you like it. I just picked one up a month ago and am getting ready to paint it/refurb it. Do you have the hydraulic shoot on it and how well does that work. Thanks

That is a good price for the Horst forks. Sounds like there selling them at cost. The frontier sets we sell are $800 and we have an old set of Horst forks on our 5410/541 FEL yard tractor that we use every day and have never had a problem.

Here is a link to a CDN retail outlet for Horst Forks. Pricing is in CDN $$$, so probably less in US $$$, but it will give you a range to consider.

I got the Frontier forks for my 3720 W/300cx loader. I paid $780.00 OTD for them. They are rated for 3750 lbs and the forks are adjustable. The build quality is excellent but, they are pricey. So far I've used them about as much as my bucket. I should have bought a set for my old 4100. I never thought I'd use them this much. Now I just have to start collecting pallets to put all my stuff on.

Thanks everyone for the replies. Tritonman, I like the 666 blower but do not have the hydraulic shoot. After I refurbed it I have had no problems. I think the only thing I would do is to close up the gap between the fan and the housing to get it to blow a little further. Good luck with it.

I was going to buy a set of frontier forks, but i just got an adjustable set for free. They were off a skidsteer. can i get the quick hitch adapters from JD for my 200cx loader? causeif not, looks like i'm gonna have to get welden!

You can to buy the hooks and pins from JD. I did the same thing with a set of forklift forks and some channel iron.

M.D.

I would jump on those Horst forks at that price--I bought the ~4000# set for about $800... thing is with the 300CX even if you somehow raised 2000#'s, that is more than it will safely move for you... I did not have to go a size up for them and could have saved some $$$ there, plus had the "extra" capacity lighter forks would have granted...

FWIW the forks have elicited the "pucker factor" more than any other attachment... a LOT of leverage on a 3x20 frame when you have a bushhog sticking out or a high stack... they are invaluable when needed, but when carrying on even slightly uneven terrain they are not a "fun" attachment...

I have about $250 in these. Purchased the hooks and pins from JD and the forks from a salvage yard.

Those look nice!! Man I wish I knew how to weld/fabricate.

I have the horst forks with shorter tines (42") and the universal skidsteer attach. Really like them and I think my smaller set was about the price you are looking at.
