pallet forks

[vineyardkeeper1]

Has anybody priced a set of pallet forks from Massy Ferguson (skidsteer type) for a 120 loader?

You're better off to buy an aftermarket set. You get more bang for your buck there. The MF ones are pricey & not built near as good as most aftermarkets.
That's whats nice with the skid steer style, almost endless possibilities.

Thanks for the reply,,I called another MF dealer today and he quoted me 780.00 which I think is way over priced for what it is.

I'm going to be in the market soon too, but I've discovered that new heavy-duty forks are pricey.

Where are you in NC? One of the TBN advertisers, Ted Corriher of Everything Attachments - Skid Steer Attachments, Tractor Attachments, 3 Point Hitch Attachments, Farm Tractor Implements. in Newton sells forks and offers free shipping. He might cut you a deal if you can pick them up.

i built myself a set of brush forks... just so happens they work for pallets too.

easy enough to build in a weekend for somewhere around $150.00

unfortunately, i never though of the pallet thing but luckily the spacing just works. far as strength goes the material is just strong enough that a single fork will take the full power of the loader without bending. you might need something a bit heavier for your loader.
