John Deere Worksite Pro HD60 Heavy Duty Pallet Forks
Overview
The HD60 is a 60-inch tine pallet fork set in John Deere's Worksite Pro heavy duty line — a practical choice for Canadian farm and construction operations that need a longer tine than the 48-inch HD48 but work with a compact or mid-size machine. The heavy duty designation means this frame handles more demanding loads than the standard duty series — commonly used for lumber, bin moves, and heavier farm material handling. At 60 inches, the tines reach deeper into pallet stacks and flat-bed loads without requiring you to drive as far under the load. Available in Canada through Brandt.

Is This Right For You?
Buy if
- You lift pallets, bags, small bundles, or materials up to 4,000 lbs regularly
- Your machine is mid-frame (S450–S570 class) and typical loads are within standard-duty capacity
Skip if
- You regularly lift heavy or awkward loads over 5,000 lbs — standard-duty tines can bend under shock loads
- Bin moves, heavy concrete, or steel pipe are common — heavy-duty tines are worth the cost
Also consider
- Heavy-duty pallet forks if your load weights push the limit of the frame rating
- Fork frame carriage upgrade if you want a higher ITA carriage class for more lift capacity
Compatible with compact track loaders and large-frame skid steers (S750+ class). Verify your machine's rated operating capacity (ROC) before ordering.
About John Deere in Canada
John Deere attachments are available through an extensive Canadian dealer network, ensuring local service, parts availability, and warranty support coast to coast. Designed to pair with JD machines but compatible with any skid steer via universal quick attach.
Care & Maintenance
- Inspect tines weekly for bending, spreading, or cracking — a deformed tine is a structural failure, not cosmetic; take it out of service immediately
- Check tine adjustment pins and stops before every heavy lift — loose pins allow tines to shift under load
- Grease carriage slide bearings and tine clamp mechanisms monthly
- Inspect frame welds for cracking, especially around the top hook and lower receiver bar — these are the highest-stress points on the frame
- Verify load rating labels are legible on the frame; worn or missing labels are a safety compliance issue in commercial and regulated jobsite use
How to Connect
- Slide fork frame onto Bob-Tach receiver arms
- Pull lock levers to engage
- Verify orange indicators locked
- Adjust fork width to load before lifting — most frames allow no-tool width adjustment
