Kubota Q/A pallet fork weight

[Tompet]

Hello,
Does anyone with the Q/A lightweight pallet forks for the B3200 loader (LA504) which also fits the B2x20 series (LA364) loader know what the forks/bracket weighs?
I have the quick attach coupler for my B2920 and want to compare overall weight of Kubota model to some aftermarket units.
Thanks, tp

Clamp on forks for under 25 HP rigs that work well can be found in NH Craigslist. Rated for 1000 lbs, 36" fork length, only weigh 23 lbs each. They are only $249....or $229 unpainted (raw steel). Very well built!

I've just got them - not sure what they weigh though. They don't give you the spec on them and they don't fit to well on the bathroom scale. They feel like they might weigh a little more than the stock 50 inch bucket. 200 lbs maybe? Just a wild guess. They work good, I know that. I've moved some large rocks and transplanted a bush already. Stuck the forks down and under it and popped it out, drove it to the new hole. It weighed more than two people could move around let alone pick up (had wet soil root-ball).

I wouldn't concern myself with the weight of the forks. For the things they are used for, they will lift as much, and perhaps more than a bucket, and that's really all that matters. Without some good extra ballast in the back they will perform to the limits of your tractor. The Kubota quick hitch is specific to Kubota buckets, and forks. I'm not sure after market attachments like the ATI will work with them, and by the time you have something modified to work, I'm guessing that you will have just as much money into it as you would with the stock Kubota forks. I winced a little when I paid for mine, but have never given that price a second thought since. They just do things I can't do well, or at all any other way........ love em!

Look before you leap when using forks. Its easier than you would think to bend forks or the bucket when prying an object out of the earth. I bent a set of king cutters trying to pry out a small tree stump with my 3030!

Thanks all for replies...last three posts answered my questions.
I'll get the Kubota forks. I'm told I can get them delivered this way in a couple weeks. I did hear from a company called "everything attachments" and they make a stock set of forks for bx loaders at a very good price but they were checking into adapting these for Q/A for LA502/LA364 loader. I also received a quote from w.r. long with Q/A mounts for a little less, but close to price of Kubota set. I do have a set of Payne's clamp-on's I'm selling, if anyone interested, that I used with previous tractor. I have a lot sandstone blocks to move and wanted the pallet fork set since I have Q/A bracket.

I went to order my Forks and QA from my dealer on Friday. The warehouse was already closed but the computer said they wouldn't be available to ship until may :shocked:

Your pallet fork setup wouldn't be coming from the Atlanta warehouse would it.......(fork thief) :laughing:

Why don't you contact Payneforks.com. I think they are probably the best add on and weigh approx 70 lbs total. They work grat on my B2150 and my TYM. Good design:thumbsup:

Ebay also has a set for $135 with free UPS ground ship out of Oklahoma. Rated at 3500lbs and made by GC Manufacturing.
