New forks

grandpa Love · May 2, 2022

Finally found an affordable pair of quick connect forks for my wife's tractor. Dealer wanted $950, after market were $575+. Got these for $350. Sure beats the clamp on the bucket set we were using. Also my wife tried out the 'new' lawn tractor! She likes it!

Wow. Terrible screen shot off a video!

That MF must have a quick attach set up like skid steer loader have.

Is the width of the forks adjustable?

It does! Handy!

Not adjustable. . . Only drawback, but still way better than the clamp on

I have Titan forks on my MF 1635, great product. That backhoe is good counter weight, but these compact tractors will lift more than it should. I have seen them break the front ends. I recently upgraded my skid loader for this exact reason. I was putting way too much stress on the front of my 1635 trying to pick up big logs. I kept adding more counter weight and it was only a matter of time before something expensive broke.

Adjustable or not you will find the forks very handy.

Grandpa, you really know how to spoil a girl.

My titian forks are 4 ft adjustable 4000#

If I want to lift a pallet, I have to adjust the forks.

I'll never be without forks..
The metal brake was very close to the max the kubota can lift.

My kubota can lift over 8 ft. So it's my elevator to the second floor in the pole barn..

I'm glad I got the brush guard. They are handy to strap things too..

You will like the forks.

Forks are one of the handiest attachments to have. A company I used to work for had clamp on forks for some of their wheel loaders. They were no fun and aggravating to say the least. Very nice !

Well You beat me I thought I got a deal for my little Massey when I got a set of forks for 450 dollars. I also like the quick attach bucket. I also put new stone on my drive way. I took the bucket off and put the forks on and move trash bin. Then put bucket on and put stone where the trash bin sat. Then put forks on and move trash bin back. Then put bucket back on and moved more stone. If I was doing it the old way I'd still be doing it. I did have a little bad luck with my Massey at 146 hrs on it the starter quit. Luckily I have a good dealer he got me a new starter and showed up two hours after quitting time just to get me going. Most dealer would say see you tomorrow. Maybe you got the good Twin and will not have a problem.

Thats a little different design than Ive ever seen before, but sounds like a score on the price and usefulness of it all!

I have a 504U IH that has never had the bucket on it since I have owned it,the forks are too handy. The 656 has a bucket

You'll wonder how you got along without them til now. Absolutely the handiest attachment there is, well at least one of handiest. We had a 33 HP compact at the other place north of here and I was up there working in those years, found a similar set, tines were not solid, but you could adjust width. Made a huge difference in getting work done. Heck, I used to palletize enough small square hay bales for the weekend help and carry the whole thing to the back barn so it was set right where needed to feed out.

I have a heavy set for the 3pt hitch on my 4630 ford/nh, those are quite handy and the lift is rated for 3000 lbs if I recall.
good find for the money, best of luck with them !
