I've learned better than to do that. Getting forks was part of the planning. I stopped by a Goodwill store and found a matching pair of forks for a few cents.

Those must be Kubota forks cause my Deere forks could easily lift twice that!

It's posts like these that make TBN the unmatchable resource it is. Now that you've done the testing I know that Goodwill brand forks are not adequate for my needs.

Man how high do you have the hyd. relief set? Have you got wheel weights or just loaded tires? I'm going to check my relief valve and see what it's set at. Those are some big logs.
