I see your point in what you are saying. Mild steel is not realy intended for jaring loads unless it is way thick and then it can still bend. It needs to be harden steel for that and they will bend but at least the will try to return to there shape if flexed. I am only making this one set up and not going to try to do forks unless they are harden steel ones. I know when I carry our big bales you sure can't drive 10 mph with my tractor if you intend to stop or turn much at all. You need spears to keep it from falling off in a turn at any speed. We get out 1,800 lb bales unloaded with a Case Backhoe and he has a hard time doing it and he can't go fast even with a tractor twice the size of mine. You can see the tips holding the load in this picture. Mark H.
