Bought these for odd jobs here at the farm. When they arrived, FedEx wasn't gentile with the box. It was torn but not too bad. Thankfully, all of the pieces were there. I was surprised to see the quality of steel and the welds. They will last me a lifetime as long as I don't get too zealous with lifting things up. My tractor a Long 2460 that will lift about 2600# with the bucket. These should hold up nicely. I would want the forks to bend before the bucket lip. The powder coating is nice as well. My only complaint is with the hold down mechanism. The bar used to tighten the forks down with is too short as you really need a short cheater bar to get them nice and snug on the bucket lip. They need to be taller to clear the top of the fork bracket when you use the cheater bar. The part of the tightening bar is threaded and has a nut to create the pressure. The nut is held on the tightening gar by red loctite. After a few times, the loctite broke free. The nut does not stay on the bar anymore. I am going to drill a hole through the nut onto the threaded bar. Then put a pin through both to keep the nut from turning freely. Other than these few things, these forks rock. I tell everybody about these.
