I've owned dozens.(seems as soon as I get some, I get a crazy offer for them)

pretty common at auctions

Always my most used implement.

Best are the ones made from real forklift forks (hard to move around off the tractor though...heavy)

Carry-alls work for real light stuff, but bend easily.

(carry-all plus is that you can bolt on extenders easy, to pick up big, light things like truck caps)

Another option, more expensive is to buy forks made to replace a loader bucket and adapt them to 3-point. They usually have the rear cage, very handy.

There are aftermarket, ready made 3-point forks.

My never for sale ones, I got used for $150.

3000 lb capacity, made from good steel, (not forklift forks), so very easy to mount. A&B I think, Lowery makes em too.

I've picked the front up on the tractor trying to lift something, or stalled the lift, and have never hurt em.

point of this rambling is, in this case if you need heavy duty, buying a used set will be cheaper. I couldn't have made any of mine, for what I paid for them.

a few...the ones on the pallet are A&B, the big red ones, Lowery
