If you look at the youtube video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ox1BjqVMi4, it is a pretty good closeup. I'm not sure that you get the full curl back on the bucket but it does not look very restricted. I'm thinking about taking the plunge but would like to hear from someone who's dealt with Ashwood industries before. No complaints listed with BBB according to my internet search.

the one im building looks like this one http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ivyL7TTXTto&feature=related

I'm worryed about the lifting loss with the bucket out 6" more than it is now.

Hello bx24d

It's Ashwill, not Ashwood. Tony Ashwill is a great guy to deal with. I have the forks for my BX25. The craftsmanship is terrific.

Jeff,

Thanks for the feedback. I spoke with him at length two days ago. Very nice guy and very "into" fabricating BX add-ons. Have you "pushed" your forks much and do you think the lifting capacity is lacking? Do you notice any significant decrease in bucket lift with the bucket being 4 inches more forward than Kubota designed?
I've got a set on order from Tony because the design looks so slick and changing the fel pins has really gotten on my nerves lately.

Haven't had the chance to lift anything with them yet! Still new and shiny!
