Jinman, I would have to agree that the tine material is critical. I've used it several times with some huge rocks in the center and so far so good, but that is still a concern of mine over time. I figured that if I had to, I can reinforce it with some flat stock on edge, and go to plan B.
Here's something to think about to make that rock bucket even more useful. I added a grapple to mine. Also note how the tines are bent on my bucket so as to create a "basket" to hold rocks while digging under new ones. Notice also how the tines are gusseted to give them extra strength. They will bend side-to-to side, but I have never bent one down.
