brin,
Keep in mind that my forks are a little different than yours. Mine don't clamp on; they are attached to the FEL using a chain that is wrapped around the bucket to distribute the force on the bucket. The clamp on forks put all the force on one small place on the bucket instead of distributing the weight. I have never worried about bending my bucket with my chained on forks. I have found my FEL bucket is much stronger than my FEL's hydraulics.

Geeeez, I wish I would have thought of that before I bought my forks...Duh ! Maybe I can add some ratchet straps or chains to mine...Thanks Obed...
