Pallet Forks for a BX

[OrangeB7100]

I purchased the Amazon forks. They arrived yesterday via UPS. Driver was not thrilled they went UPS. Too heavy and in a cardboard box that was failing.
No visible damage to the equipment. Connected up to my B7100 and loaded up some large pieces of limestone.
Forks are definitely oversized for my little tractor. Need weights on front end. Standing on the unloaded forks I can get the front end bouncing but not off the ground.
Bottom bar already splitting along the seam. Will work for my simple purposes but would not recommend unless you planning on fixing with some welding up of any failures. Fortunately I have a brother with a welder.

I have simple need to move large limestone patio rocks. I am looking at these for my B7100.

I also purchased the 3 PT hitch forks from Amazon but ended up building my carryall on it, it was cheaper then the carry all frames at the time.
I also have 36" forks for the front and your right after forklift frame and forks it limits loader power for us, me more then you. Ended up shortening deck because of overhang weight. Still able to lift.

I have a similiar set of 3 point forks. I modified the frame with a couple of 3/8" holes on the horizontal bar so I could bolt my chain harrow frame to them along with the chain hook on top. Works well.

I made a set of forks that hang over the top lip of the bucket. Then, I built a 3-point frame that the forks fit onto. The frame also has a 2 inch receiver hitch. I later added pin-on mounts to attach it to the loader. It gives me 3 different options to use the forks.

I might go with these. Amazon.com: YITAMOTOR 45" Pallet Forks Frame Attachment with 42" Pallet Forks Forklift Blades, 3000 lbs Capacity with 2 Inch Receiver Hitch & Spear Sleeves for Kubota Bobcat Skid Steer Loaders Tractors : Patio, Lawn & Garden

somewhat light weight.......still made of steel. plus a receiver slot on the plate. What do you guys think?

Did you end up buying these? How did they work out. I'm thinking about buying them also.

Well....Its time for me to finally finish getting all the useful attachments for my BX2380. I was at the kubota dealer inquiring about a rear blade and pallet forks. The BX can only lift like 600lbs maybe more with some hydraulic chicanery. So does the BX need heavy duty forks? I would assume not.

Is there a good set of light duty forks that can handle 600-800lbs of logs (or pallets)? Maybe save some $$$ and not have stupid heavy forks that take away from my lifting capacity? Most normal forks seem like overkill for the BX (again which including the forks can only lift 6- 800lbs.

Oh for the days of Everything Attachments!

all I saw on their current website is them reselling the 'King Kutter' carry all for $317. Something any kid in high skool welding101 could make in 2-3 classes.

I have forks from redline for my 1880. Great light forks. Had skid steer forks at first. Way too heavy. The redline can lift up to 2000 lbs which is more than my 1880 can lift. You won’t go wrong getting these.
