Pallet forks for B2301

[Northeast_Mainiac]

Hello all, can anyone here recommend some pallet forks for the B2301? I have a 2019 b2301 and am looking for some that are not heavy,
I went on Titans home page and noticed the ones they have are very heavy 196lbs just for the forks alone and over 100 lbs for the frame, that’s going to drastically reduce lifting capacity. Any suggestions would be appreciated, thanks again.

You could find pallet forks much heavier; I acquired a LP PFL1242 @220 lbs and they work just fine! The lift capacity of your B2301 is roughly 1Klbs so that more or less should narrow your search; no need for '4K' pallet forks or the like.

Have you tried "Everything Attachments"?

I got my forks from Everything Attachments. They were the lightest I could find for what I wanted. When I bought them they were around the same price as the Landpride forks.

I have a BX (not a B) but I really like my Land Pride (Kubota) PFL1242 forks. I was able to lift 400lbs at the very far ends/tips with my BX the other day with them and saw no deflection in any parts. Granted my BX doesn't have the lift of a B, but they are very similar sized. I even dug some smaller fir trees out of the wood with them recently. (no stump bucket here!)

Dealer had a couple much cheaper units (lighter too) in stock but they did not posses the upper rack/cage/headache rack thingy (on the upper part of the PF's so loads can rest against it and/or prevent stuff from falling off the forks, rolling over the hood and straight onto me.)

Having that small safety net meant more to me than saving $200 and 100lbs in weight.

Your mileage and needs may vary.

Thanks for the reply, lots of good info here
One other thing that’s important to me is that it has a spot on the frame for a 2” receiver so I can move my camper around as needed

Lots of ways to skin that cat.

I made this one that pins on the end of the forks, but they sell similar ones that use chains I think.

No 2” receiver on the Land Pride PLF1242’s, but this is what I have, it is even better for trailer moving.

Keep an eye out, they go on sale.

I like my HLA 900lb 42" forks. About 200lbs.

 

[GreensvilleJay]

I have the HLA900# too ! On my BX23S...on, off, on off...they ARE real handy.....

You're welcome. To move trailers I can use the hitch on the back of the tractor itself (cumbersome, as QH05 is in the way some of the time) or I can use this, recently purchased at Princess Auto (Harbour Freight sorta place)
4 in. Fork Ball Mount (princessauto.com)

Pallet forks from Earth & Turf come in under 120 pounds and have a back rest. The forks are box frame design but rated ~ 1300 pounds, bit short only 36". I have used these on my BX, B and LX. I moved an 800 pound pizza oven with them using the B2601, that was prob the heaviest item I picked up using them. Besides engine blocks but those are only a few hundred pounds.

You wont find a lighter set of SSQA forks on the market, thereby maximizing our already skinny lift capacity.

I am not sure what configuration you are looking at, but IMHO, if the fork tines have to be removed to use the receiver in the fork frame, it’s very inconvenient. I’ve used my fork frame that way exactly once. (I put a front hitch/grill guard on BX after that first time trying to use the receiver in fork frame). Everything is a trade off…if you have SSQA, then I think welding the reciever onto the bucket is a simpler / easier solution….assuming your bucket is not to tall to be able to get under the trailer tongue. The fitments that attach to end of fork work very well, but greatly increase distance required to manuever since they are on the end of the long, but they also give more reach to set something against the wall…good/bad and probably depends on your situation….depending on your tongue weight that distance may require additional ballast to keep the rear end down. Hitch on the bucket is my vote…way easier to swap bucket and forks with SSQA than remove and reinstall fork tines.

I purchased this one for moving things around..

basically, I liked that it spanned both forks.
