Has anyone on here every purchased the LandPride clamp on bucket forks? Im looking at the one that are rated for 2000lbs. This was the cheapest set i could find around me, so thats why im inquiring about them. Ive also been shopping online, so ive seen what else is out there. PLease share your input or opinions. They are going on a 1966 JD300 backhoe. Thanks Chris

Did you check out Pallet Fork Attachments | Clamp on Pallet Forks | palletforks.com They've got them for $149 for 1500 lbs and $169 for 4,000 lbs w/ free FAST shipping. I've got a 4,000 lb pair w/ the stabilizer and am very pleased with them.
/edit - of course you have to remember to pay the tax.

I ended up buy the triple set of forks rated for 5000lbs along with a stabilizer bar and guess what? I managed to bend one of them, which was my fault as it caught on a rock. Then last weekend i was using the remaining 2 forks to pull back some brush and both forks fell off the tractor. The welds let go that hold the clamping part of the fork onto the bucket. Not impressed with the welds on this and I blame the poor welding for the reason they broke. I wasnt applying much don pressure either.

Anyways, I was going to order a set of paynes forks, how are they?

My tractor is a old 1966 jd300 backhoe aka jd1020 farm tractor

Look into Yankee Warehouse's chainon forks, we love them and the price is good too.
