Any ideas of where to get used skid steer pallet forks for a L3130? Been watching auctions and classifieds for nearly a year without any luck. I don't use it enough to go for the $600 that a new set runs. Ideas?

I've been looking for a set myself - The best I've seen is $475 on fleabay, and then you have to ship them. My Kubota dealer does a set for $750 (plus tax of course). I've not been willing to pony up that much. I keep hoping I stumble across a landscaper or someone who is trading out equipment... ....

If there ia a forklift sales/service shop nearby give them a call.
Older forks used a round bar for mounting to the lift plate. These are VERY easy to convert to FEL use and if you talk to the guys at the forklift shop they will often cut the plate and forks off a scrapped unit and make up the whole unit for you.
Even if you just buy the forks and lift plate, a quick-tach plate from the dealer still makes a reasonably priced alternative. If your handy with a welder it's an easy project to do yourself.
Best of luck. ....

Here in Wisconsin smaller used forks go for $150. You would have to do the welding that Murf described.
