Yes, I know, another fork thread. With spring time here I've been looking at needing to move smallish brush piles, rebuild some railroad tie planter beds as well as some other odds and ends. I've been looking pretty hard at the bxpanded clamp on forks and for the work I have in mind they seem like they are a very good value.
In all the threads I've read I have seen little to no complaints about the product. In fact the only issue I've seen so far was a fitment issue due to a change Kubota made in their bucket lips, and Harry resolved things quickly.
Has anyone had any long term wear issues with the clamping mechanism, or with the clamps slipping? If so, is this something that can be resolved by replacing wear parts (springs, etc)? Also has anyone managed to bend or other wise damage their set through abuse?
I do realize that these are are not heavy duty, fixed forks in the sense that they are geared towards the capabilities of a scut and as a result I do expect some compromises in ability. I'm just trying to make sure of what I am getting into prior to making the purchase.
While I'd love to be able to justify the grand or so it would take to get setup with a quick attach system and a dedicated forks and such I'd rather save that expense for some other "toys"/back savers like rear remotes and or a grapple down the road.
One final thing. If anyone has a good close picture of the attachment mechanism I'd be grateful if they would be willing to share.
