Fork Lift attachment

[Dirt Mover]

Anybody have a quick attach fork lift set up that fits a tractor loader for a B series the size of B3350? I think I would like to have one. I wonder if I got the quick atch. if I might be able to pick up some used forks for it. That might make it more affordable.

I think by the time you get a QA for your FEL, and a new bucket, and a set of QA fork lift tines you are looking at a sizable fortune, if you can find used fork lift attachments. Better off getting a couple of fork lift tines that attach to your existing bucket.

Is this a front fork setup using the loader, or a rear setup using the 3 point?

I've also seen forks that are operated directly with the 3 point. And a set more like a real forklift with a multi-stage telescopic lift frame, solid tires on the bottom, and operated off the rear hydraulics where the 3 point does nothing more than stabilize the unit using the tractor. Also seems like a killer application to tie into a backhoe frame. Hmmm, I now where I can get a forklift with bad motor for very little, maybe a project? <sigh> Last thing I need is another "project"...

Check with your dealer. I have a B2920 that has a Kubota pin type quick coupler that wasn't too much money and allows you to use the same bucket without having to make any changes to it. I also bought the Kubota forks and they hook right up to the coupler. Its slick and easy to change back and forth.

Oops, I missed that he stated "loader" in the first post, and I called myself reading...

Thanks guys. My tractor has the quick (2Pin) coupler for the bucket. I see there is a fork mount that attaches to the loader using that coupler. So I will need that plus the forks. Looks like that will be the way I will wind up going.
