The tines are 3”OD 1/4”wall pipe with 4 v’s cut out of the end and remaining 4 v’s bent and seams welded to form round point. If one gets bent too much and can’t be straightened there easily replaced as only one bolt holds them in support tube. There made to be weakest link so you can’t tweak the frame. I’ve had that rake bout 7 years and still original tines.I like the way the frame for your forks is built with the reinforcement shown in the third picture. Are you using solid hay spears for the forks?
