The Ai2 36” SSQA Pallet Forks were originally designed specifically for the size and capacity of BX 80 Series Kubota tractors. These tractors’ loaders have a lift capacity of around 700 pounds, depending on the model and attachment being used. Because of this limited lift capacity, attention to every design detail was absolutely critical in order to maximize their lift capacity.
The Ai2 36” SSQA Pallet Forks have an improved design that increases the strength of the carriage while also making it lighter weight. This design is also the most compact in the industry, which helps keep the weight as close to the tractor as possible, further increasing the lift capacity for your loader.
The carriage is constructed of 3/16” and 3/8” steel plate and is designed using tab slot configuration, tying every part to the next part. This results in an extremely durable design with less weight than other options on the market. The carriage is painted with a durable powder coat finish in Kubota orange.
The forks are 36” long x 3” wide x 1” thick and weigh 42 lbs each. They are painted with a durable powder-coated black finish. The individual forks have a strength rating of 660 pounds each. The carriage is rated for a total weight of 800 pounds maximum (still exceeding the lift capacity of subcompact tractors). We do not recommend using these pallet forks on tractors with a loader lift capacity in excess of 800 pounds.
An actual pallet fork carriage is by far your best option over clip-on bucket forks. The clip-on fork design is inherently poor for several reasons. First, all of the weight will be out beyond the bucket cutting edge, which will reduce the lift capacity significantly. Second, clip-on forks will likely end up damaging the bottom of the bucket shell where all the weight is carried. Third, leaving the bucket on the tractor adds additional weight that will also reduce lift capacity.
After a bucket, a set of pallet forks will be your most-used attachment. You will find all kinds of ways to use them, and you’ll wonder how you ever got by without them!
Please note: This pallet fork frame will ONLY work with loaders that utilize a skid-steer style quick attach. They are not compatible with our Original Ai2 3-Pin Quick Attach. If you are looking for pallet forks for Kubota BX tractors without SSQA connection, please check out our Ai2 36″ Pallet Forks For Kubota BX 3-Pin Style Attachment.

I love these things. I actually bought the first set from Tony just about a year and a half ago. I have moved so many things with them. Pallets, rocks around my koi pond, brush, implements, you name it. They have taken everything I’ve thrown at them. All that and they still look new! Buy a set….you’ll be happy you did.
Robert –
Great set of forks!
Robert Logan –
Love these forks easy, adjustable and not heavy if you just have to store them! Bought them thinking I had just a few projects I could use them for…a few turned out to be a lot. Best thing I have bought for BX23S. Ai2 Products were very helpful in every aspect. I recommend these if you have heavy things to move.
Michael Goode –
Very well built! They stay on my bx23s more then the bucket
Chris Stageberg –
When I bought my BX I bought what the dealer had for forks. They were way too large for my tractor as I came to learn. I sold them and got these from Tony and couldn’t be happier! These are the right size and weight for a BX custom designed and are simply fantastic!
James Gamble, AKA Minuteman –
These are fantastic forks, and I use them at my business nearly every day.
These are super heavy-duty, and bending them with a BX is never going to happen. The owner is a solid patriot and fellow veteran. Glad to see a small business building quality American products. You won’t go wrong with the product or customer service.

I had a dozen questions and Tony quickly responded to everyone. The pallet forks are very well designed and built. They will last me many many years. Thanks Tony
