Has anybody tried the Northern Tool 1200 lbs clamp on forks? If so what do you think of them? Are they worth the $299 price?

If you have the tools to make forks it can be cheaper and rewarding.
Two of the photos show attachment clamps welded to old forklift forks.

I would buy a set of real forks, the type that are quick atach skid loader mount, or build your own. Adding forks to the bucket, limits lift capacity, by moving load out front. Also they do not stay in place, clamps work loose, forks turn sideways and end up falling off. I borowed my neighbors, I am glad I did not buy any. I bent one twice had to use a press to straighten and broke a clamp bolt. It had been bent and straightened before, he also has a set for a Bobcat, but not the universal mount. I am now building my own set with a skid steer quikatach and also Westendorf loader quickatach mounts. I will start a thread when I can figure out how to post pics.
