I’m buying a set of quick attach pallet forks for my L3301. Anyone have any recommendations as to which one, length, weight capacity, etc?

I recently got a set of these...

Plenty of capacity for what these small tractors are capable of lifting (in fact, they are overkill). I wanted the 2" receiver in the front for moving trailers as well. I believe I got them at a better price, fast/free shipping. Only downside that I have seen thus far is:

1) the welds on the frame look like they were done by a child (and perhaps, they were)
2) my neighbor keeps borrowing them, so they aren't in my possession when I need them

Capacity just over your breakout, 48 inch length, adjustable width if possible. I have the landpride version, they work great.

I have a L3301 also. Four years ago, I bought the Titan 36 inch version with the crash guard and bale spear socket.

It has been bulletproof. On mine, the welds are very good...I had heard they could be hit or miss. Didn't matter to me because the price was good and I can weld.

I use a Worksaver brand . It's adjustable and no issues with hooking to my QA on my L3301. Quality is top notch.

I've been happy with the Titans. These are the 42" forks. I just can't spend $8/900 on Artillian or Deere brand. I mean, they're pallet forks.
I only wish I had got the set with a 2" receiver built in. Hindsight is always 20/20.

My dad and I share 48***8221; Premiers. 4000 lb capacity and well over what I can handle.

It***8217;s nice being able to see the tips from the seat.

Hayspear.com makes nice forks for all kinds. I'm really pleased with mine.

I had a set of forks from Land Pride for a L3901 I used to have they seemed like a nice match they were rated for just over ton and only weighed a few hundred pounds.

I have the Titan clamp on forks. I had some welds break, so I reinforced the angles by welding on some angle iron, and no trouble since. Very useful if you don't need them very often, or for very much weight.

Do you have any idea what the total weight is? This is the set I have been looking at.

Yeah, the site says 105lbs for the frame only. Doesn't mention the forks oddly enough.

Yep I saw that. I called them today and I was number 45 in line :(. I set a call back but haven’t got a call yet.

Titan are usually 260lbs and up. Their frames seem to be light, but the forks are very heavy for sub-compacts. For the BX23S and JD 1025r that is a little heavy and better options out there. Probably wouldn't notice on something else heavier though. Artillian prices are crazy and over $1100.

I would concur with the post above that the frame is somewhere around 100 lbs. The 42" forks are quite heavy (say around 60-70 lbs/fork?). My suggestion for your machine would be to get a shorter fork or perhaps at least some that aren't quite as heavy.

The only drawback to the 42" that I have is that they are rather difficult to see. I find myself standing up to see the tips when they are lowered to the ground. I plan on hitting the tips with some bright orange paint.

It sounds a little heavy for my BX. My Ford 1720 would do ok with it but I want one set I can use on both.
