3 point forks - who makes 'em

I need to move about 5 2500# pallets of bricks and don't have a strong enough loader w/ forks but plenty of good tractors.

I've seen 3 point pallet forks made by one of the implement companies, but can't remember who it was.

Can anyone help?

Thanks all.

I have a cheap generic 3pt pallet fork but I can't get much more than 800 lbs of weight on it before my front wheels start getting really light. At 1000 lbs the front wheels are no longer subject to gravity. I don't know how big a tractor you need to hang 2500 lbs on the 3 point hitch, but it better be LOTS bigger than a Ford 800.

Also, there's a pretty nice looking 3 point pallet fork on ebay that has adjustable fork widths. Asking price is $275 which is about double what I paid for my fixed width fork.

Remember that pallet forks and round bales forks are not necessarily the same size.

Unless you wish to have the forks for moving pallets in the future, how about just moving the bricks by hand. A three pounds apiece it would probably take about the time to move them by hand as it would take to find, purchase, mount, etc. forks. Depending upon the bricks you should also be able to use carriers to move a bunch at a time.

The tine type hand carriers typically move 5 at a time, most often five with each hand. The tines go into the holes in the bricks.

The clamp type move ten at a time, which is typically how they are packaged in bundles.

The thought of moving all of those bricks by hand is worse than doing it three pounds at a time.

I saw one at a local farm supply sitting with their KingKutter stuff.

Just checked their website:
