- We've had our GWT Versaforks available for over a year, but we recently released Limited Edition Versaforks in John Deere Green. Well they were a hit. So much so that customers were holding off from purchasing until we restocked.
So we did, and we make some other improvements along the way. Check out the only pallet forks meant for your loader and your 3-Point hitch.

These forks ship UPS Ground and we ship Nationwide!
I'd love to see a fuel transfer tank with this style of attachment.
That's actually a cool idea. That would come in handy if I was fencing and had my auger on the front, I could haul a lot of posts on the back forks.
It would be really cool if these had 3 point on the other side also so you could lift up 3 point implements with your loader!
Some tractors have front hitches.
@@kdegraal just converted my rear 3pt to SSQA with hydraulic top link. Now front and rear are the same
5 minutes later…someone tries to box blade with their loader and bends their arms!🤣
@@jeepjeffy04 yeah pretty well right. Look at the loader of a typical modern compact tractor then compare them to the loader or mounts for a real earth moving machine.
@@jeepjeffy04 You're just now tell me I shouldn't be using a 2 bottom moldboard plow on the FEL of my BX Kubota? Dang, guess those weird ball things on the back have their use after all! ROFL
As someone who’s run forklifts in multiple applications, and was one of the main reasons i bought a tractor, this is an awesome design, if i didnt already have a set of forks this would be top of my list, the modularity, and versatility and thought put into this is amazing…really making me think how to justify having a second set🤔. Great job guys!
Shouldve put a 2nd receiver tube in the same spot as the one you have put on the top of the center bar. Some trailers sit higher than what the 3pt goes up.
What would be swell is if you could add a set of those upper JDQA cups on the front of the fork set frame/bulkhead, this would allow you to pick up the forks BACKWARDS on your front end loader so you can now fit your forks & tractor on a trailer without spinning the forks around by hand.
I work for a tractor dealer moving tractors & implements all day everyday, my only complaint with forks is they make the tractor 2-4 feet longer than it was without anything on it so unless you set them on the trailer then break your back turning them around to fit under the front of the tractor (TWICE since you get to do it again to unload) you'll need a longer trailer. I think this improvement solves a big issue few have considered but all would envy. And all it takes is mounting 2 more of those JDQA upper cups directly opposite of the current ones so someone can pick them up backwards just long enough to park on the trailer - or in the case of shed storage you can now have the bulkhead against the wall to consume much less space.
I purchased a set of these a month after I bought a tractor from good works. (I know, should have bought them at the beginning). My feedback is the parking stands are fantastic for when you need to switch back and forth between bucket and forks several times doing one clearing tasks. Chain hooks are great too. The bolt on headache rack I would buy and use it as needed.
My only negative is that the JDQA top hooks are at an angle where they hit the piston sleeves when you pull the forks all the way in. But they had to cut the weight so I get it. Only happened to me once or twice.
These are excellent forks though! I’ve carried some small logs on the back while carrying a load of split firewood in the bucket. Cut my trips in half!
I made my own about a year ago for about $300 in materials. Im sure its not as light as that, but it works for me
I just received my order, can't wait to try these out! Of course now you have green! I should have waited a week. I actually probably would have picked black anyway if I had the choice.
Very nice design. So glad I was able to watch this video. I learned a lot about Pallet Forks.
Courtney I love learning from you! Hug your family! I hope you’re getting some quality time with them
Pallet forks live on my tractor. I use them WAAAAY more than the bucket.
A good solid headache rack and then I'll buy in.
Thank you for sharing the Word.
Just got mine in last week and immediately used them the break down the rest of the pallet of goodies. Loving them so far. Glad to know that I can leave the lower 3pt links down on my JDQA. I noticed the tines hit them when they are up. Also, that will keep them in a position where they are always ready front or rear. Really love the design.
I'm glad you made the idea happen, and US made too. I've been putting off getting forks, waiting for these. In addition to forks, a tow hitch receiver, and weight rack, they'd make a great base for a heavy duty carryall that could be easily dropped and recovered, very versa...
Wild guess that you may be into honey bees? I just setup my first hive today. Well, I had the hive ready, but my nuc was delivered. New adventure for me :)
@@GoodWorksTractors Nope, no bees, not yet anyway. Seems neat though, bee keeping.
I had a fork carrier made at a local welding shop back in 2003. Loader/ 3 pt.
Thank you for doing your videos, I find them very helpful.
Very ingenious design...great job!
Totally enjoy and appreciate your videos. Thank you.
I'm gonna get one for my TYM. I love this idea.
This is awesome! I know which set of forks I’m gonna get when I get ready for a set!
I just bought one for my JD tractor and absolutely love them so far.. I have already used them for pallets, downed limbs from storm damage, moving logs, and corner posts.
Clever design. Mine are JDQA only. I bought them to help move materials for when I was building my deck... definitely a back saver. I've found that I've used them for a lot more than I thought I would.
What a great product you really put a lot of effort into getting it right. I am definitely going to order one and if you design a rack that can be added I would definitely order one as well.
Some ideas: chain slots on the top, similar to the Artillian frame. A hook like add on to the top rail, that would catch the lip on a trash bin. Something similar to the edge tamer add on for trash bins. I realize I could put the bins on a pallet, but what fun is that? For one bin, I use my quick hitch’s hook and a 1/2 pipe across the bottom slots.
Im digging the Kuiu sweater! I really like the multi mount pallet forks, the more function the better!
What a game changer implement.
Nice to see more content from you, are you going to tell us what' up with your channel lately? You used to publish videos pretty much weekly.
No desire to do so anymore...too much work. Working myself to death. Something had to give.
@@GoodWorksTractors that's fair, it's definitely a grind.
I have some static solid steel rear forks that weigh a metric ton but don't bat an eye on lift - these are much more usable haha - on my LX2610SU I can't get the tips all the way to the ground though like you can
Thank you for the video.
It's worth mentioning that a standard pallet is 48x40 and usually loads from the short side.
nice ty
looks like a 2" receiver for trailert hitch too....
It would be pretty cool if you had bale spears that could slide on like the pallet forks
Just place an order for these! Thanks!
That’s pretty darned clever.
Great video, guys. I wish that I could be a Canadian dealer for you guys, I am sure they would sell Great here 👍
I guess I don't get it... I see a lot of positive comments below but you couldn't unload a truck or trailer with this limit in lift height. So it's just for moving stuff around on the ground?
I tend to store a ton of stuff on pallets and move them around often during the season. I don't need much more than a few inches of height as it's repositioning, not loading. Perhaps others do similar tasks where height is not required.
All I have to work with is 2 inches......
Lots of uses besides trucks and trailers...use your imagination.
That’d unload a truck when mounted on a loader.
You should add bale spear sleeves to the frame
That is a great looking system. Hope you sell out.
So cool!
Swiss army knife of pallet forks
I notice that you have the rear forks on the JD basically hanging off the top hook, which puts all the weight on the two pins in the hook. Is this considered "correct", or should the pins be fully seated in the pin carriers at the bottom, and the hook should be in the set of holes that give the fullest seating without carrying any weight? I also usually use a bushing on the top link pin so it fully engages front to back in the hook and doesn't bang around.
Standard design. I never used a bushing in the top link pin...ever.
I have the JD 42" pallet forks but my JD grapple lives on my 2025R during the summer. I just don't have a need for pallet forks on my 3 point hitch.
Forks are a poor man's grapple. You could essentially double the load you're moving if you had forks on the back. Load up with the grapple, then slide the forks under another log or brush pile. Point being, if you didn't have forks, why would you not want a set that is more versatile? At least, that's how my mind works. More options, the better.
Looks a great product. There are some pretty good ideas in the comments for version 2.0.
I just want a 1250kg version and shipping to the UK….
Is it the tines or the frame or both with the 1 ton weight limit? If I started with these on a >1 ton lift capacity tractor, could I simply upgrade (or increase the number of) the tines to safely lift more?
Add a headache back with a second row for forks. The upper set would help to stabilize the load and also be used as a spear mount. Using the lower forks for weight and the spear more for stability of load. The upper forks would help when moving saplings with a big dirt ball. The bags of sand and gravel handles go on there and the lower forks carry most of the weight lower.
Can you fit it with an "ADD-A-GRAPPLE"?
Working on it
You lose some lifting capacity with the quick attach and a hydraulic top link gives you more versatility with the 3-point . But awesome overalll.
4-6k capacity (just for peace of mind) and a headache rack and they would be perfect. Unfortunately I’ll probably be buying a set before that happens.😪
Won't be building a version at that rating. No compact tractor lifts 4k lbs. Hardly 3k on the biggest. Even more rare for compact tractors to actually lift that much...most loads are under 1,000 lbs...big loads 1,500-2k lbs.
4-6K?!?!?! You running a Versatile? lol.
Its only missing bale spear mounts
We sell 2 bale spears a year. Not a popular item. Used by a minority. Adds weight, adds cost for everyone.
Use forks for digging out brush ans small tree roots.
I f you buy a tractor with no front-end loader a b d you add one later is the hydraulic system big enough can you explain
Is there a way to weld these onto an existing set of forks because i noticed these are lacking spear cups like my titan plate
Unfortunately not....very finicky, very precise...any changes on a pallet fork frame from other mfg's would render it useless.
@GoodWorksTractors oh ok. Because I really do use mine as a spear just as often and it's really versatile to have
@@wizard_of_poz4413 we sell two bale spears a year vs thousands of sets of forks. Adds cost and weight for everyone while almost no one would utilize it.
@GoodWorksTractors that's true. What titan did with this one is they welded in the little cone into the frame in case you want to slide your blades off and pop a shaft right into there to move bales
Yes, I'm familiar as I've physically had their forks on our lot from trade-ins.
I want…..😂
My barn is a mess. ...what else is new? Incase you missed it. :)
i have a carryall for my 1941 9n and it moves all the pallets i need to
Just had an idea:
What if you applied this same concept to a box blade?
3 point mounts for use spreading/grading material in the summer, SSQA for snow removal in the winter. Skid shoes could be attached with pins.
Just give me a discount on it if you make it lmao
Already working on it…but even more versatile than that :)
The frame seems more useful than the forks for me.... lol
I love your blind spot for Yanmar. Even TYM got a shout out, but poor Yanmar continues to get the middle child treatment. Welcome back BTW.
Am I supposed to rattle off all 15 brands every time? Plus, Yanmar just confuses everyone...their SA models have Yanmar quick attach...won't be making these for that q/a. Tell Yanmar to make a smart decision and stick with SSQA across the board. They do a disservice to their customers that don't realize what they are getting into.
This is one of the big reasons I've reduced making videos. Look through the comments. So few genuine positive things to say. Most laced with things that are wrong, lacking, or otherwise BS. You guys really aren't worth it.
@@GoodWorksTractors my comment wasn't meant to be negative or mean spirited. Sorry if it came off that way. I agree that Yanmar needs to use SSQA across the lineup.
Health issues or a divorce? Something very different about you. Thanks for posting again. I wish you all the best.
I’m afraid to check the price 😂
Hardly more than a set of regular 2k forks shipped.
I got a kick out of the warranty. “No scratches, paint chips, etc shall be covered.”
Who in their right mind gets upset when a tractor *attachment* gets scratched? lol.
The stories I could tell
@@GoodWorksTractors "My rotary cutter has swirl marks! I had to have it detailed and waxed to protect the resale value!" 🤣
Yanmar?
No, too hard to make the 3 point bracket system work. Not enough demand. Yanmar quick attach is a very small market. The ROI isn't there.
Help us Yanmar guys out! Yanmar qa yl110, yl210 versions!
We are quite limited aren't we.
We sell normal pallet forks for Yanmar, but the ROI isn't there for this design. We offer a stump bucket, snow pusher, and grapples for Yanmar quick attach though.
Why not get an adapter to SSQA?
@3sparewashers-lg3gf the adapter adds weight, reducing lift capacity.
You can get some that replace the factory yanmar QA plate, attach straight to the pin.
