Pallet Forks for Compact Tractor [DELEKS]

  • I have found an excellent low cost pallet fork for my compact tractor. This 3 point rear unit from Deleks allows my Kubota B1600D to carry a lot more weight than the standard clip on pallet forks for the front end bucket. And as you can see these balls of hay are probably pushing even that limit.
    Check it out and drop any comments below.
    I have no affiliation to Deleks who supplied this unit (I bought it with my own money) but I find them to be excellent quality, a great price and fantastic after sales service.

    You are correct on the forks on front of your loader as they extend out so far and overtax my hydraulics when lifting heavy items. I have been looking for a rear 3pt pallet fork like this for that reason.
    Nice clip and explanation

      Thank you. I am very happy with them and they are a great workhorse around the property.

      I have a bigger tractor and the clamp on forks. Don’t like them much because of their poor lift capacity.

    Those are neat! Never seen those here in the US. I have quick change pallet forks for my bucket but would like some of these as well. These make a lot of sense for small tractors since your rear will lift much more than your loader will.

      They are useful for the heavier loads - but I am now looking for the front attachment forks (in place of the bucket) so I can manoeuvre things a little easier..... I need it all 🤣

      I have a set of forks that clamp on the bucket . I welded on some tabs on an old tool carrier so the forks could be clamped to the 3 point hitch. The forks came from northern tool as I remember. They are very useful!

    You can make a box out of a pallet and carry EVERYTHING you need. Load it with heavy things and make a counterweight for heavy loads in the bucket. Good luck

      It is a handy bit of kit. Thinking of fabricating something that will allow it to be mounted to the front.

      @@HomesteadingUncontained I have a Kobota BX25 2012 with a pin-on bucket. I'm going to convert it to a skid steer style quick change so I can have good forks. I have the slip on style and they are sort of third rate. Good luck.

    A quick hitch will get you out a little further also make sure your lower link turnbuckle are tight or else they can sway especially on slopes and cut those rice tire knobbies.

      Most of the imports into France have these. For me it works well. But I do plan to change them out once the field turns to pastures.

    Also look up a "three point scissor jack." At least that's what they are called here in the states. It just about triples the lift height capacity of the three point . Great if and when you want to load something on or off a truck etc...

    For me......I favour the front forks.......Like you say it won't lift and really heavy things.....but say lifting a heavy sand blaster, some bars of angle iron for a project.....a multitude of things....I actually made something out of old wood and might think of making my own from some angle iron left over from a project.

      I am trying to get a set of front forks for my loader - it is difficult. But I think they would be better for the upcoming build.

I like the way JCB have their pallet forks attached. They can swing them up and over when not in use.....I might have a go at something like that.....my forks will not be for heavy stuff...just help with lifting heavier items around the farm and making my life easier.

    It looks like you have your top link in the wrong hole as you should be able to lift and keep your forks level.
    I have been looking for a lightweight fork solution for a Garden Tractor and I really like the setup you shared as with a John Deere 420 garden tractor In am limited to about 800 pounds max lift.
    Your setup can probably be made at a weight of 100 to 150 pounds leaving say 650 to 700 pounds of lift.
    Ideal for putting a snowblower, rototiller etc on a small skid and moving it! I wouldn’t need it as rugged as your setup with those weight limits too.

    • @HomesteadingUncontained
      @HomesteadingUncontained  7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      It is just a bit of trial and error trying to get it to rise evenly as my rear 3 point does not have adjustment (other than manual on the top bar). It works really well getting stuff shifted around site.

    Why didn’t you just get a rear bale spear? Some of them are designed to take the top spear off and use it in other applications.

    Those are NOT forks. They are two pcs of channel steel. You'll find out the difference one day when you manage to hook one under something, and not the other, and lift up....it will bend. Fork steel is a very high strength steel that is almost impossible to bend with normal tractor hydraulics.
    The other issue is whatever you pick up has to be right on the ground level...pick up the lift slightly, and the Not-Fork tip elevate a LOT....there is no "roll" on a back lift....it's lift only. So say you want to pick up, or set down, something waist high...almost can't do it. THIS is why front forks make a whole lot more sense.
    Believe me....I KNOW all the issues of back forks, as my first tractor didn't have a front loader and I made do with them for many years. Looking back, I should have gotten a bigger tractor sooner.
    And the $129 bolt-on-the-bucket forks ? I wouldn't wish them on my worst enemy....ahahahhaa

    • @HomesteadingUncontained
      @HomesteadingUncontained  2 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      Totally understand, but these "forks" are limited to 300kg which is pretty good as I don't think my little tractor would cope with much more. Exactly right on the tilt, I had to put a grass cutter in my van and it was a pain - used the top bar to manually adjust the tilt. They will work for what I need them for and if I could get some reasonably priced front forks I would - but not readily available here for a compact tractor. Good comments, thanks. 👍🏻
