Jim, I can't say I've ever dug taters with a set of forks like Sonny..he's such the innovator..anyway every forklift place I've ever been to has a pile of forks in back out in the yard..kinda like a tire shop with the tire pile out back..now that scrap iron is down they will probably sell you a set for $75 or so..A set of little Class 1's (12" H carriage) was what I wanted but the Class 2's are so much more available...take a look at scrap yards too sometimes they set them off to the side..they are heavy melt, not shreddable so they go in a different pile..FWIW
