Pricing pallet forks

You could spend $100 more and buy the 48in 4klb Express steel set..there US built.
Yea I have a 48” set, good quality and very reasonable price. The only thing I don’t like is the gard is hard to see through. I have the pin style mount and they fit properly without grinding and drilling. Would definitely buy them again.

The set of Agriease forks I was after got seriously backordered so I ended up ordering a set of Walco Renegade 3700 lb with 42 inch forks from the same Guy. They were supposed to be 1100 landed but because I had already waited 2 1/2 -3 months he lowered the price by a nice amount for me. Nice when that happens. I will paint the last 6 inches of the forks orange because they kind of get lost looking the guard .

I put a camera on the front of the my tractor and can see what I am picking up. It makes a world of difference.

I have a set of 48” Chinese forks, but they didn’t last even a year. Thin metal and weak welds. Wound up going to several dealers within a 100 mile range. I chose a set of US made 42” forks. I am very pleased with them. The Chinese forks are in the scrap metal pile waiting to be repurposed.

I do have a monitor and 2 cameras but procrastination has hindered my installation :) . I will have to work on that ! Maybe a canopy first to keep it somewhat dry.
( That makes 2 things to do. It's getting worse )

Meanwhile, my Titan palletforks are holding up well after several years of frequent use, both the 48" and the 60" versions.

Sometimes I've tried lifting more than the loader will handle, but from 20' sticks of 6x6 0.25" square tubing, small cars, and full 325 gallon totes, they've done the job.

I made my own bucket forks for my old Ford (repurposed forklift forks).

They've been very handy. Very tough. Fixed width, and a bit narrow.

Unfortunately I have troubles seeing where the forks are at. A see-through fork mount would be nice.

Weight is also an issue, with my tractor's lifting capacity around 1000 lbs, so every ounce counts.

Denton NC. is the mecca of skid steer attachment manufacturers.

I picked up MSA (Mid State Attachments) 48", 4k pallet forks as one of the first attachments I bought. I've tried to break this thing without luck so far. My machines tipping point is 4400lbs, so I have abused these pretty bad, and they keep asking for more. Gave $700 for them from a dealer in Wytheville VA.
I also have a MSA stump bucket that I've beat the crap out of. It still looks new!
