Forks Price question - how much should a 3 pt hitch pallet fork set uo cost? New - Used?

Be sure to add in shipping - TSC has a similar one for $400, w free ship to store.
If I buy the northern tool one they want $105 for shipping.
I tried 3 times to put the link in but it broke each time.
/edit - did you even try the search feature here?
There's load of info.

Willl,
I knew there was some goodness to you.
This one actually has my interest for $279

Remember that those are of a fixed width so make sure you check that width versus your application. I've found that pallets come in a variety of sizes and need a variety of fork widths so if you are getting alot of different deliveries, fixed width may not work. Just pointing out the obvious.

I might be wrong but I don think your tractor is going to lift a ton on the three point hitch either.

Ya I would ask if I could material delivered on 1/2 ton pallets. Might cost more, but at least you're not worried about breaking something when handling them. Besides the pallets come in hand for all sorts of things.

from the Deere page:
3-Point Hitch
Type Category 1

Lift Capacity (24-in. behind link arms), lb. (kg) 2200 (999)

Lift Capacity @ lift link ends, lb. (kg) 2530 (1149)

So pretty close.

Tritonman,
I'm not asking my baby bota to lift a ton. Just love the idea of moving pallets with ease. I could also 3-pt fork a pallet and use it as a carry-all for moving stuff around the yard or even down the road.

scuvnut,
I checked the specs on the pallet fork that willl posted and it says there's 25" between the forks. That's perfect for just about all kinds of pallets.

newbury,
I didn't think about the extra $105 for shipping. Why can't my local Orchlands or tractor supply store stock these bad boys ?

I bought these FEL forks and the price included shipment. The work great for me?

I wonder if 3 pt forks would lift high enough to grab a pallet off my equipment trailer? that sure would make unloading wood pellets easy.

Google Agri Supply. If you have one in your area they are 149.95. Don't know how much to have them shipped. They have very good service and equipment.

I told you - TSC does ship to store. And the OP did ask for a 1 ton lisft.

WayneB - the FEL isn't strong enough for the OP.
