The host physically mounts three different fork sizes on an Artillian frame, demonstrates each point side-by-side, and runs an informal scale test showing roughly a 50-pound lift-capacity difference. Covers visibility, maneuverability, dump height, weight, leverage for lifting, and digging. Best for subcompact owners deciding between fork lengths.
Tractor Time with Tim is an owner-operator channel focused on compact tractors, presenting personal hands-on experience rather than a dealership or manufacturer perspective.
The host prefers 36 inch forks for subcompact tractors, citing better maneuverability, lighter weight, higher dump height, and more lift capacity, though 42 inch forks offer slightly better visibility.
An informal scale test repeated several times showed about a 50 pound difference, roughly a 10 percent loss of leverage, when lifting with the longer fork tip versus the shorter one.
No. The host says there is no use for a 4 inch wide fork on a subcompact or 2 Series tractor or B series Kubota, and 3 inch wide is all you will ever need.
Yes. On a 47 inch wide pallet, the 36 inch fork still sticks through plenty far, though the 42 inch fork extends a bit further out the back.
