capacity forks,
April 22, 2008
By Bob2008
from Steamboat Springs, Colorado

"Bought a small tractor and needed forks to do some moving of hay bales and misc barn items. The forks work great on that tractor for what I used them for.. Now I just bought a bigger tractor and Im thinking of ordering the heavier duty ones that are 2000lbs, got a bigger tractor, need bigger forks......"

Good value,

"These forks are very good but don't try to lift much more than what they are rated for. They're built well and should last a long time."

Paynes Forks light-duty 800-lbs capacity forks,
April 14, 2008
By Magunk
from Peterstown, WV
|
"I would recommend these forks for anyone needing light duty forks. Simple to attach and works well from my bucket. I manufacture ceramics and move supplies from one building to another. You will need counterweight on the rear of your tractor to be able to lift rated weight. I used a piece of plastic under the bolts to protect my bucket from dimpling."

"Great product. Wish I would have bought them sooner. Miscellaneous items around the farm can be stacked on pallets and moved or rearranged as necessary. Works great for moving logs, pipe or even bales of hay."

Light Duty Forks,
January 16, 2008
By DaveRV4
from Georgia
|
"Like most tools, these have great utility if used for the purpose advertised. These forks are for light duty lifting and they do a great job. I was surprised at how heavy they are... indestructible. Much depends on the quality of your bucket, though. They may leave some dents.
One problem is visibility. Once in the seat of your tractor, you may not be able to see the tips of the forks, making delicate work rather difficult. Also the swing radius is rather large (the fork tips travel thru a long arc during turns) , so you must get accustomed to making small corrections as you approach a load.
For the homeowner/landowner needing a tool for lifting/moving small loads, these forks are an excellent value."

Better engineering needed,
January 15, 2008
By CTFarmer
from CT
|
"The forks are adequate but the screws that hold them in place in the bucket are not. There is no flat piece of steel on the end of the screw and it digs into the bucket and creates a "dimple" where engaged. The fix will be a piece of flat steel on the underside of the bucket and a couple of pads welded onto the end of the screws. Too bad the company couldn't have put a little more forethought into the product."
