Whoo hoo, Finally got a set of pallet forks for my B2650

I finally bit the bullet and got a set of 48" pallet forks. The best place for price was MTL, they shipped them out fast and arrived in great shape. I have been wanting a set for a long time.

I had a set of forks from an old forklift they recycled at work and finally broke down 2 years ago and bought the back plate from Titan to put them on.

Thought I would use them some but not nearly as much as I do. The uses are unlimited.

Now they stay on the tractor 75% of the time.

Word of caution, keep the ends pointed up when traveling! Mine were pointed down few weeks back low to the ground went over small hump and they dug in stopped the tractor and bent my plate near the bottom slightly. I was going slow so no major damage. Big adjustable wrench and cheater bar bent it back.

Enjoy them and reminder to use ballast when lifting as they stick way out in front of the tractor, much more than the buckets.

They look nice! good luck. I have been searching myself for a set. I will research this brand and check the pricing for shipping as well. Are you happy with the quality of them? I see some being sold on Craigslist locally but am not sure where made or quality which has me hesitant at $800 for 60" and $700 for 48". 60" probably to big for same tractor.

They look awesome hopefully they are not real heavy.

I have a set of 42" from Titan. I was going for minimal weigh vs. max safety.

Pallet Fork Frame Attachment, 4,000 LB Capacity

This tractor attachment is a two-in-one deal! It comes with both a pallet fork attachment and a trailer hitch, so you can perform a variety of tasks.

I don't use mine that often, but there is no replacement to them when I do use the forks. I am usually putting them on to unload something off a truck.

I have used the 2" receiver as much as the forks.

As above.
Those that think the bucket is the most useful tractor attachment do NOT have pallet forks.
My pallet forks are also on 75% of the time instead of the bucket.

Bad news is.......no more pallet fires!

I have the same as sleddog posted above. Even at 42" they are pretty heavy. Unless you have a specific need, I wouldn't put anything longer than 42" on a B series tractor. Perhaps, being a bit longer would make them easier to see (especially with painted tips)?

I use mine all the time as well. You'd be surprised at how well the do for moving brush. Also, I do use the built in receiver for moving trailers around. It works great and provides excellent control/maneuverability in positioning trailers.

LOL, I'm fabricating extension forks already to move Jeep frames around.

So, you've identified a specific need.

Just brought a B2650 and trying to decide between 42 vs 48 “ forks. We have 6 acres in the foothills of the Appalachian foothills and will be using mainly for brush cleaning and tasks around the house I haven’t even thought of yet. Any comments?

The 42" stick out quite a bit.

Put a tape measure on the ground off the front and check it out. 48" is out there.
