Be very careful! Noting that he broke the law while negotiating can be construed as extorsion. Technically, if you know he broke the law you are required to report it. I would start by asking him his intentions. If you are not happy, get a lawyer. If happy, get it in writing. Note that in some...

We have all bought products that are less than we hoped for. Rarely we find something better than expected. These exceeded my expectations and that is why I shared my experience.

My Kubota B2601 can lift less than 1500 pounds. Forks are rated for 2500 pounds. I tried to lift a tree trunk and no go but no damage. It sounds like many of the bolt on forks will not live up to their ratings?????

Wish I had known about debris forks yeas ago. Yesterday I cleared a brush pile with tree trunks dropped on the pile. Would have taken me 2 days by hand (I'm getting old) Whole pile moved in an hour in rough conditions.

It looks very much like your picture. It appears to be well engineered. That box section you are looking at is stronger than what you are thinking. The bolt is much bigger than the others I looked at too.

I looked through a lot of forks and read the complaints. Most could have been solved with what I bought - and they were. I don't blame folks for being skeptical, there is a lot of junk out there for that price range.

Yes I do have the forks I showed. I recently shopped and then purchased. Maybe they have improved, I do not know. I do know that what I bought is very solid. I work equipment hard and put these to the test

I recently bought a set of debris forks. They are fantastic. They are bolt on with HEAVY DUTY bolts. They do not need stabilizer because the whole attachment is welded together. They will plunge into a S*** pile of brush and pick up a lot without handloading. They did not get loose or unstable...

I have been through 100 year floods in 1969, 1973, 1977, 1986, 1995? 2000? That's a lot of 100 year floods. The (approx) 2000 hundred year flood was interesting because it happened at a new construction site I worked on. The 100 year zone map in developers trailer showed this lot was originally...

Depends on what you are planting. I am from New England but have never planted there. Much different than here. Ask an extension agent about your particular planting and location?

I have not read the responses yet but I'm sure folks will recommend an auger. If you dig nice round holes, the plants roots will grow in circles and never break into surrounding soil. As a landscape contractor I found that empoyees had a hard time grasping that while usually a perfectionist, I...

Not touching this with a 10 foot pole. Compressed gas containers kill a lot of people!

Well, you are in California, after all......
