Thats in the ball park, I was quoted $700 almost 10 years ago by the dealer who sold us the tractor. I worked there on/off for years and it got to the point I just needed forks, so I spotted a slightly used pair, from a seller I've bought from before on CL, got a 2 bottom plow from him. I needed these for the work I did, it was a simple decision to pay that price, they paid for themselves many times over now, that was '10 when I got them.

Look in those ads daily, few times a day if you can, around here good used ones come up often.

I am glad I did not go for a clamp on set, hard to see with the bucket on, = the extra weight of same, it had quick tach, so it made sense, at home here, I made a clamp on set from old vehicle lift arms I got off a demo job I did. I use those on wagner loader bucket, and they work, hold more than enough weight, given the logs I have moved in the past, but there is nothing like a quick tach set, so much easier to use and see with than a clamp on bucket set or a poorly made set one builds, not to say that you could not build them, really just need proper fork tines, but I will say again it was money well spent. First time I had to use them, we had a huge pile of old roof tin that came off our barn when we repaired the section that collapsed due to snow. I went in, put those forks under the pile, did the manuever to get somethign overwidth out the door, trick I learned when I worked at the lumber yard, moved that gnarly stack to where it had to go and never touched one piece of it, before it would have been a labor intense task, sharp edges, you will like forks I sure did LOL !!!
