Tomahawk are the cheapest ssqa ones I could find. $501. Titan (palletforks.com) is pretty low too. Sometimes lower via eBay. Everything attachments.com is a crowd favorite. Finally, my dealer was $540, which is a good price too. Check your dealer, obviously.

I think they would but be aware of comparing apples to apples. That Northern Tools fork did not have adjustable forks and the forks are hollow. For a few bucks more you can have adjustable forks with solid forks. I bought SSQA attachments for my B2650 with the Kubota quick attach. Works fine...

Looking back at the video, I did see that the forks are hollow and not adjustable. Thanks for pointing that out Ezlife

I got my set of month old forks from work for free. they just replaced them on a forklift, then the motor went bad and they were scrapping the whole thing, one of the guys on the dock took them off for the heck of it.. when I mentioned I needed some he said look here :) then the forklift guy gave me a 36" Carriage, I bought the Weld on QA Plate for $144.... Now I'm set.... ( And I've dug up the yard cause I cant see where the forks are pointing :) Lol )

I did them same thing only I got them out of a metal salvage yard for cheap. Welded on the QA plate and got her done for 1/2 the price. Nice thing about tearing up the sod is that you can put it back in the rut.
You drive by the braille method with them...

Not sure if they make any for your tractor size, and maybe not the cheapest

http://www.mytractortools.com/forks.html


but I got them because the go on the front in place of the bucket with my quick attach AND they also can go on the back for my three point hitch. So anything really heavy and I can grab it with the 3 point and move it around. Lighter stuff gets from the front

*2 on the Titan forks with build in 2" receiver. They are well made, painted up nicely, and so far they hold anything I can lift with my machine and then some. I believe I paid $459 on Amazon and they came in a couple days...looks like I could have gotten them cheaper from Titan directly.

There is a lot of steel in a good set of forks....even if you're paying scrap prices you're still going to be into them for a good amount of money (our local steel place is $1 per lb and these forks are 300lbs or so assembled with back plate). For the extra $100-150 titan includes nice pin latches and notches so your forks stay at a set adjustable width, the 2" receiver, and a nice powder coating job you likely don't have an oven at home to match....plus all the welding of course.

I've been very happy with mine.

Keep in mind with your LA534 loader you won't be able to pick up much more than about 1200lbs, and a full pallet of oak can weigh more than that pretty easily....

I am using plastic bulk liquid containers on plastic pallets...they are 44"x44"x44 and work well for wood storage as well.

Thats why its great if you can have forks also for your 3 point. Can't lift it high of course but for moving around much heavier stuff, the rear forks comes in handy now and then. Not sure of your guys lift limit for the 3 point but I think its usually 2-3 times the front lifting capacity

I sure wish I could find a set of pallet forks for the BX series in the $450 price range.

It seems the only companies offering forks (not clamp on) are "Land Pride" and "EverythingAttachments", and both are over $750 for the BX.

If you have the skid-steer attachment style you have a lot of options, but with the standard BX setup the options seem to be limited.

If anyone knows of a less expensive brand for BX, let me know. $450 seems about right for a 42", $750 is too much.
