3 point forks

[Citro-nut]

Hi all, I'm looking at getting a set of pallet forks for the rear of my B4200, The ones I have found have a max load of 300kg, they say ideal for "small tractors". However they also say minimum of 30 HP.
Your thoughts please?

I'm not finding the 3 pt lift capacity of your tractor, but that's probably more important than the overall horsepower. You want forks that are beefy enough to lift what you want to lift, keeping in mind that the beefier forks weigh more and that weight needs to be subtracted off of the amount you can lift.

Again, I'm not seeing that number at tractordata.com. Does your manual specify 3 pt capacity?

Agreed that HP is a useless number to size forks. As stated above, you rear lift capacity is the important number.

I have a set for my small machine and really like them. You might have to add front weight like I do, or you'll be steering with you rear tires, which is always fun.

Here is a better pic. It's a Northstar 1200 model. 1200LB (544KG) weight rating mounted to my 19hp machine.
