Has anyone heard of or had any experience with the new Land Pride PFL1242 forks? I can't find any mention of them with search here or pretty much anywhere. They're listed as 220 lbs, unsure if that includes forks or not though. I'm liking what I see so far and my dealer has one set left currently. Not cheap, of course, but available NOW and looks to be of quality...

I don't have that specific model of Land Pride forks but the ones I use have held up very well and are made as nice as any others I've seen.

I have an earlier model set that I've abused for years and they hold up quite well. You get what you pay for like anything else. Landpride (Kubota) makes quality implements.

I didn't know they had that series when I purchased my PFL2042 forks ($750). The PF1242 looks quite capable and well built. I would just see what works with your loader capacity and needs.

Yeah, per the specs they're rated for 1200 lbs and weight 220 which is about 100 less than my bucket weighs. Going on a B2650, so that's just about perfect. I've almost talked myself into running down to pick it up today. Trying to figure out how to approach this with the wife...

Alright, well... Just burned my welder budget. $752 and change after tax. No shipping/waiting and the Made in USA sticker on the side dulls the sting a bit, though. So far they look good, only moved a few hay bales. Will be moving some lumber tonight after it cools off, will see how they do...

The Pallet Forks are darn near my most used attachment. Good Choice, you will be surprised how work you will get out of them.

Thanks. They've been high on my list for a long while now, I just got sick of needing them all the time. It will be great having them available from now on. They're a serious force multiplier.
