Pallet Forks for Kubota LX3310??

[McMXi]

Another point of reference. About a year ago I bought Kubota branded PFL4648 pallet forks that have a lift capacity of 4,500lb and weigh 412lb. I paid $1,035 and got them from the local Kubota dealer. So the $1,475 asking price for what your dealer is selling seems very high for a set of pallet forks suitable for an LX3310.

Do you know of any places I can look and see if they have any for my model tractor?

I bought mine from a place I found locally on Craigslist. They had good prices at the time. It is a Pro Works brand. You might want to look on Craigslist in your area. You might get lucky. I cannot find anything online that is moderately priced and most places are out of stock. Ugh.

Funny those "Kubota pallet forks' are identical to my "Land Pride.'

Land Pride 3042 (rated for 3k) was 850 end of last year. I guess you could get away with 2042 (rated for 2k), but the price and weight difference is negligible. I'd go for 3k IMO... that means each bar is rated for 1.5k and you wont ever have a problem).

Mine are Martatch 42" class 2 SSQA forks, came through my dealer when i bought my B2650 and implements.
Pallet Forks | Martatch attachments | Wellesley, Ontario
Apparently available in the USA as well.
They've been rock solid.

I have the exact same one.
My kubota dealer included in a deal on an L series and have zero complaints after 2 years.

I bought a viring US made 4000# 48” forks from my dealer in December for $1100. Size and weight appropriate for my MX6000. Your quote sounds awful high for approximately sized forks for your tractor.

That’s what I thought. I see them all around for $600 and $700 but I can’t find the exact ones I need for my tractor.

If your have SSQA loader bucket, then any 2000# rated forks will work for your tractor.

Does anyone know if there’s a third party/aftermarket place to purchase pallet forks with back plate for a kubota lx3310? My dealer is quoting me $1475 is that a good price?

My dealer quoted me $750 for the land pride 1200lb forks with SSQA. Your dealer is either selling you way too much fork, or price gouging like crazy, or both. Even the EA forks (rated to 2000+lb and way overkill for your FEL) is only $950.

I’ve picked up way more than 1200# with my 2610.
My dealer sold me a set of forks with no rock guard. I returned them, unused, and he was waiting for more forks to come in. When the new forks arrived, they were nice but very heavy.

I decided to order from EA.

Moral of the story, I needed a rock guard and even thought the dealer forkes were $600, they didn’t meet my needs.

And EA is an American company with great products and great customer service. They do everything they can to help and they answer the phone when you call, and return emails when you send them.

That's crazy,

That's crazy,

got me thinking - looked it up to be sure:

 

[Nicfin36]

That's about a 32% increase! I bought a subsoiler and grapple from them in 2019. $449 for the subsoiler and $1995 for the 55 Wicked grapple. The subsoiler is $650 now and the grapple is 2448.03!

I'm not necessarily picking on EA, because stuff has gone up everywhere. Truly sad times.
