Don't let price stop you. It won't be long after purchase and you will have forgotten their cost and admired their usefulness.
Yeah, prices have gone up considerably since I bought mine from Titan AttachmentsThanks for all the input folks! I've got the quick attach on my FEL, so I'm leaning toward dedicated forks.... I've yet to research prices.... That could be a deterrent...lol
I bought the same in 2011 for $657 including tax and delivery. They seem indestructable. I wouldn't want to be without them.I purchased the Construction Attachments, Inc. compact pallet forks for my Mahindra eMax 25 Cab. They have been a good investment. Versatile and tough. Easy on/off with the QA. Came with 42" forks and around 238lbs. Mahindra dealer here stocks them. Rated for 50hp. I see the new model is rated 2200lbs. Mine were 1800lbs.
Exactly!consider it an investment- the price won't be going down in the future.
Buy the new one, and get a different length forks with it. Your old ones will slide onto the new body.Close. I was digging logs out of a frozen pile. The forks are fine, the backing plate they're mounted to is destroyed. It had already been weakened by lifting too much weight, digging the logs out just finished the job.
I thought about buying another, heavier plate but decided to wait until I can afford a better set of forks.
In hindsight I should have bought the grapple first, and the forks later.
Sometimes I think so much outside the "box" that I completely forget that there IS a "box!" Not recommended for the faint of heart, but in a pinch:

Note the stacked crates in the background. Yup, managed to lift and stack- ONCE (and only once)! When shopping for a new tractor guess what was on the top of my priority list!
Relatable! But in place of bolts.. tow hooks off a Jeep?!Well I have a set of DIY 'clamp on forks'.
Never damaged anything.
BUT, LOL, my main usage is to collect all the wind blown branches every season.
OK, I did move my generator but that's not all that heavy.
Mine 'DIY's' are simply 3 inch channel stock and clamped via 5/8 bolts and that works 4 me and I bet I can load more than my CUT can lift.
