📘 Overview
Haugen tractor bucket forks — over the bucket forks that turn a bucket into a pallet fork without removing it. U-shaped brackets hook over the bucket's cutting edge and back, so the forks are on in a couple of minutes and off just as fast — no quick attach, no coupler, no hydraulics.
Ten models from 4,500 to 28,000 lbs. Fitment is decided by bucket opening, not by machine brand: models suit openings from 38" up to 77".

📐 Measure Your Bucket, Not Your Machine
This is the whole fitment question, and machine brand has nothing to do with it. What matters is the bucket opening — the distance from the cutting edge to the top of the bucket back, which is what the U-bracket has to hook over.
Measure that, then read the table:
- Up to 38" — H60-48-43M
- Up to 42" — H45-48, H60-48S, H80-48S
- Up to 51" — H60-48
- Up to 60" — H80-48
- Up to 69" — H100-48, H100-72, H180-60
- Up to 77" — H280-72
A bracket sized for a larger opening will sit loose on a smaller bucket. One sized too small simply will not go over.
🚜 Pallet Forks for Tractor Bucket, Skid Steer and Wheel Loader
Anything with a bucket in the right size range — skid steers, tractor loaders, tractor loader backhoes and wheel loaders. Because fitment is by bucket rather than by coupler, one set can move between machines whose buckets are similar.
The range spans 4,500 lbs on a compact tractor loader up to 28,000 lbs on a large wheel loader, so match capacity to the machine as well as the opening to the bucket.
🚜 Which Machines These Fit
No coupler, no quick attach, no hydraulics. The forks hook over the bucket you already have, secured by four or five brackets depending on model.
Fitment is by bucket opening (38" to 77" across the range) and by capacity. Measure the opening first, then choose the capacity that suits the machine — a 28,000 lb fork set on a compact tractor is capacity you cannot use.
❓ Tractor Bucket Forks FAQs
How do bucket forks attach?
U-shaped brackets hook over the bucket's cutting edge and back. Nothing is removed from the machine, nothing is coupled and no hydraulics are involved — a couple of minutes on, the same off.
Will they fit my machine?
Fitment is by bucket, not by machine. Measure the bucket opening — cutting edge to the top of the back — and match it to the table. Models cover 38" to 77". Skid steers, tractor loaders, backhoes and wheel loaders all work if the bucket is in range.
Which capacity should I choose?
Match it to the machine. The range runs 4,500 lbs to 28,000 lbs, and capacity beyond what your loader can lift is weight you carry for nothing. Most tractor loaders sit in the 4,500 to 8,000 lb range.
What is back height and why does it vary?
It is the height of the fork's back frame, and it has to suit your bucket's depth. Models with the same capacity come in different back heights — the H60 series is available at 43", 48" and 55" — so there is a fit for shallow and deep buckets alike.
How far apart do the tines go?
Up to 72" on most models, and up to 96" on the H280-72. That is the maximum spread, and the tines adjust within it to suit the load.
Do these need hydraulics?
No. Entirely mechanical — no cylinders, no hoses, no auxiliary circuit.
How many brackets hold the forks on?
Four on the models up to 8,000 lbs, and five on the H100, H180 and H280 heavy capacity models. The brackets spread the load across the bucket rather than concentrating it at the cutting edge.
