I need a set up pallet forks for our case 480B. I would really like something that can handle more than what the tractor is capable of lifting to prevent breaking the forks. From what i have found online so far is the tractor can lift around 3700 lbs. The only solution I have tracked down so far was the forks sold my northern tool though they are only rated at 2000lbs and I know I will not be lifting that much, One thing that caught my attention with thoughs is that they are universal so i can switch them between the backhoe and brush hog loader on our other tractor. Plus the price isnt bad 470 except its about 170 more to ship it. Another thing that suprises me is its made here in the US. I'm just looking for some other ideas. If anyone knows where I can get drawings I can make my own (which i have though about just copying theirs). Another nice feature is that you can also use it with a 3pt hitch to move things around also.
