Thanks everyone. the Land Pride forks cost $1100 right now, and a couple of the other good QR options are on pretty long wait lists. I'll keep hunting. I appreciate all your advice, it really helps.

Tarter Quick Attach Pallet Fork, 1,200 lb. Capacity at Tractor Supply Co. anyone used this brand? I am wondering if the forks would stay stable if I used the "shovel" attachment mentioned previously in this thread--would the pressure of digging pop the elbow of the forks up? Several of the...

thanks I'll check them out

good point about rollback and the weight of bucket reducing lift potential of forks. that's a plus for the QR version.

Yes the price is crazy plus some brands have 4-6 week wait time. Thanks for the links.

thanks--this gives me a lot to consider. You guys have pretty much convinced me to go with the QR framed version.

this is amazing. I hadn't thought of digging with them. is there a shovel mod on the front of them, or is that dirt? I have to rebury cables so this is super interesting

I have a quick release bucket but have never taken it off. Gotta say, nothing is "quick" for me--attaching 3-pt implements take me time, so I try not to have to switch implements a lot. Right now, forks would be used to move brush, big rocks that bucket can't handle, firewood. so I'd say lighter...

I am planning on getting pallet forks but am unsure whether to go with forks that attach to my FEL bucket, or get a set that requires removal of the bucket etc. I am just working on my home acres, not commercial, and I think the ease of attachment/removal is a big selling point for loose pair...

did you mod the grapple with some kind of netting to make that leaf situation? This set up would transform my life---leaves are killing me.

Thanks to all for the super helpful explanations. NCL471--your detailed explanation helps me understand how the different mechanisms work together which is both reassuring AND confidence building. I'm doing a lot of land clearing and learning as I go is OK but I really don't want to wreck the...

This is a ridiculous question I'm sure but I have to ask. Does the throttle/power lever control the potential speed of the tractor OR the power (such as for FEL or axle or pto etc), or both? The manual is kind of sketchy on the relationship of the throttle to the forward/reverse (accelerator ?)...

Thanks--and great suggestion on the metal stems.

I just got my first tractor and am not yet at the 50 hr mark yet, but reading you excellent walkthrough I am wondering how to check pressure on my tires which are filled with fluid to help with ballast.
