That's a little steep. Keep in mind the fork rating exceeding the tractor's capacity (by 3-400#) is all you need.
I’ve got the HLA, like the 4200 model on their web site (for some reason I think mine are 3750). I don’t have tractor enough to hurt them. I like how easy it is to hook a chain on the “tombstone” backs.
It's 2000#, but down low. Up any higher, only 1200# looking for something rated for at least 2000#, even though i won't go high with anything that heavy. Everything attachments has one for $649, but gonna shop a little.
The heavier forks have a taller back, from the looks of it... HLA Attachments - 4,200 LB Cap. - Heavy Duty Pallet Fork But you don’t want to go too heavy due to $$ and lost lifting capacity. I’m calling the backing above where the slides are the tombstones.
I'm guessing that the "backboard" or the vertical portion is a skid loader friendly design for walking through the middle to enter/exit the machine. (2 tombstones with a space in the middle.
Are those lift ratings for 24” load centers or on the bucket pin? BIG difference and honestly, it can be tough to keep real world loads to 24” centers.
The pivot pin..... Kubota is conservative with their numbers however. I went with these forks, lower back but lighter overall, should be fine for what I need to do. If I should choose to lift a face cord pallet of wood i can add some plywood just in case.
Chit! to late, I see you saw this and I just posted in the Kubota playing thread! Ill post pics when it comes in! Already shipped to the freight terminal. Just waiting for the freight company to call with the logistics
Nice forks Well Seasoned ! I really like the trailer hitch ball feature. Might have to weld one on mine of these days.
Kubota is doing more than I thought it could do! Ill hit 40 hours early tomorrow. What a great purchase!
You guys got me looking into this again. Lucky for me, I'm only 15 min. from Messicks. I called and talked to Neil (co-owner) about converting my loader to SSQA and adding pallet forks. He said that they usually sell aftermarket Titan 2,000# forks for compact/sub-compact tractors at $525 Titan CTFF. They are quoting me $650 for 4,000# Titan forks. Titan SDFF I definitely wouldn't go with $750 for a 2,200# class fork set. You can do way better after market.
Would this work for you mike bayerl ? www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00IO8W69S/ref=pd_aw_fbt_60_img_2?ie=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=PCATKFHA8C37VSK4BFAR I ordered this setup a week ago for $479
Sorry for the delay for pictures, these were in my truck a few days, then hiding behind the wood pile! I didn't get pics of moving some boulders, but it was nice to do it so easily. Here's one view...... they are very well built and beefy Side view........ Fail #1 Fail #2 Son hovered the drone while I was building a quick firewood rack..... Moved no problem. Wood is seasoned, anything wet or a heavier wood, I need more ballast. Lifted like it was nothing, but having the load out further, I'll want some more weight in the rear.
