[QUOTE="Beefeater, post: 1484350, member: 25588"] Okay, so after borrowing a tractor a few times in the last several months to utilize their forks I’ve decided to buy my own this year. I have an older style Westerndorf WL-21 (no quick attach). Westerndorf just gave me a price of $1,600+ FOB at factory for the 48 model, place in MO appears to have one that would work for about $1,000, found something similar online with delivery in the $800 range, and found a beefy set with nice guard on CL for $700, but I’d have to convert from the quick attach to manual pins. I’m certainly not spending $1,600 on a set of forks! $500-800 seems more reasonable with a decent guard, but I’d go a little higher if there is something that could convert quickly to include a spear for round bales without changing pins for another attachment. Currently using bucket mount bale spear for rounds, but some of the bigger alfalfa bales give me cause for concern with bucket stress. Reccomendations, cool attachments you’ve seen, or even hypothetical available set somewhere between Minnesota and Oklahoma? And no, I’m not interested in clamp on, or chain binder types for this project. Thanks in advance! [/QUOTE]
