I need some inexpensive but sturdy SSQA forks for my new G3038h. I have been looking at the Titan Attachment brand on Amazon and those are the cheapest SSQA that I can find. Does anybody have experience with those or want to recommend another option.

I almost bought the Titan brand forks but found a new set locally for the same price. ($524. incl. tax). The Titan forks are on Ebay or Amazon and I don't see any problem buying them. Quite a few guys here have them. Here's some pics of mine. I recently added a hydraulic thumb for using on my forks and bucket.

I have the Titan 48" on my 4041 and I have been logging, clearing brush, digging stumps, and maxing the loader with them and haven't bent anything yet. I am going to mount a thumb on mine just like George. :)
eBay puts a new set up for auction every Mon night, I watched the price for several weeks a got the 48" for $586. With free ship. No complaints here.:thumbsup:

I have the Wildkat 42". Think I paid around $525. So far, so good. At the time I bought, I was torn between getting the 48" or the 42". I haven't yet encountered a situation where I wished I had the 48"

Thank you for the recommendations. The Everything Attachments brand is only rated at 2000 pounds, so not much margin of safety there. Wildkat I can't find a link to purchase on their website. So far looks like Titan.

I wouldn't be concerned about the 2,000 lb capacity. It looks like a good match for your loader's 1,900 lb lift rating.

kco is right. The 2K capacity is a good match for your loader. I haven't compared prices recently but I was going to buy Titan forks until I found mine locally. My forks are regular skid steer forks rated for over 5K which is over twice my loader capacity. The Titan's will probably be your best bang for the buck and when I was looking they had free shipping, don't know about now.

If you want to make sure you won't bend your forks, get a set that can handle almost all of the loader's rated capacity on one tine. Why? If you have a max load, and it shifts all of the weight can wind up on one side. 2,000lb forks could very well bend if you put 1,900lbs on just one side.
