Glad I went with the 48” and wish I would have found your video before my purchase. Almost sold myself on a bobcat 42” set they had on sale. I stood there like a noob staring at each for a while trying to figure it out.
I really prefer the 48” forks myself Jacob. For moving totes, picking up logs or anything else. Definitely easier to find too! 👍🏻 Great explanation and demonstrations
Jacob, excellent video. I own 48 inch forks. You're right about the view. Sometimes it's hard to even see the 48. I have the taller version and that gets in my way all the time. Keep up the great work.
Appreciate that Mr Jerry!! I have a set of the taller version too and your right, they can be aggravating. Always appreciate your support and comments!!
Funny you made this video! Me and the wife were talking about get the pallet forks for the bobcat. We use IBC cages to stack firewood. Transitioning from pallets but I'm still about 100 cages short. Looking at titan attachment forks, might go.with them. No used.ones near me at the moment
@@TwinCityFirewood I ordered a standard series Titan attachment set of 48 in Forks for my Bobcat 610. In a couple weeks we'll see what happens. Maybe I'll even make a video
Jacob, I also have 48” forks. Typically, I like them for all the reasons you stated. However, on a smaller tractor (like a subcompact Kubota BX), I like a shorter set for moving logs or fence posts. The reason is, that little tractor is so limited by its lift capacity, that a longer set requires more power than it has the ponies for; especially if the longer forks catch on another log in the pile. Your Kioti seems to have ponies to spare. Good video
Great point!! I can definitely see that. There is sometimes at the end of the forks that my tractor will just not lift the load. Appreciate your input and your time for always watching and commenting!! 🇺🇸🤝
I don’t have any experience with the 42”, like you I’m always looking for a deal and I found a set of 48” cat skidsteer forks for cheap. Little heavier than tractor grade but I’m not going to bend them up and I can use them on a skidsteer and not worry about over working them.
42” work better in some ways. The main thing for me is what’s easier to see over the hood of the tractor. Appreciate you always watching and commenting man!! My stepdad has been watching your channel, I think your his favorite!! 😂
No sir I don’t. I would definitely use one if I was on concrete or something similar. It would save use on my tractor. Appreciate you watching and commenting!!
I really enjoyed this video Jacob! Thanks for sharing! Really well done, interesting and great take aways for myself! Andrew from NB :)
Glad you enjoyed it! Hope it is helpful and I sure appreciate your support and comments!!

😂😂. Both are really good. I just prefer the 48” b/c they are easier to see. Appreciate your watching and commenting!!

I own a 48 inch set from Titan. They are 4000 pound forks. Ive had them for about 3 years with no problems.
Glad you liked it!! I never thought I’d use my pallet forks as much as I do. They get used more than any other attachment!! Thanks again!

Good Morning, you found the key To finding value in these high inflation days, good deal, Take Care 🪵👍🏼🇺🇸
Thanks, you too! I sure appreciate y’all watching & commenting!!
Great video Jacob. I have 48” forks. Most used attachment on my tractor. The loader multitool.
Yessir!! My grapple is my favorite attachment to operate but like you, my pallet forks get used the most.
Thanks so much!!
Like the double tote grab at the end.
👊🏻👊🏻. Many thanks for watching and commenting!!
I am spoiled. I have a skid loader. Can see the whole forks in front of me. Great video.
Lol. Yeah I’m sure that’s a big advantage. Thanks for watching!!
Hey Jacob , I like the 48 inch forks the best also . That’s what my fork truck had on it at work !!!
Gotcha!! Appreciate your comment and time to watch! I got some stickers coming soon. I may swap stickers with you when they arrive. 👊🏻🇺🇸

Very nice! Nothing wrong with 42 inchers but I prefer the 48” for sure. Thanks buddy!!
48” is the way to go. Good video
Many thanks Mr Rick!! Appreciate you!
I’m going to have to measure my forks now. Not sure what mine are. I think they are 42.

@@TwinCityFirewood well I appreciate him watching. The wife and I watch yours at night when you have videos.
I sure appreciate yall!!@@Treestofirewood
Do you have or ever use a pallet jack?
No sir I don’t. I would definitely use one if I was on concrete or something similar. It would save use on my tractor. Appreciate you watching and commenting!!
That what my wife says ( Damn your in a tight spot ) 😂 LOL
😂😂. That’s from the movie ole brother where art thou!!
