James, Yes sir! These forks are rated for 4500 lbs, but the frame is rated for 4000 lbs. Thanks, Wallace Titan Distributors 800-605-8241

I have a sportsman 570 and it is 700lbs dry so with fluids and me on it i am pushing over 900lbs and i have had no issues but like you I can see and feel them Flex. I wouldn't be concerned considering they are made of aluminum and by its nature has a lot of give and go compared to steel.

They are definitely heavy enough to use over a fire but there is a drawback. The clip on handles will melt if subjected to too much direct heat. In using them on my gas cooktop in my RV I once used too high of a flame and started getting damage to the bottom edge of the handle next to the side of the pan. Lesson learned. Also, they are an awfully nice pan to subject them to the blackening etc. you get with campfire cooking. I carry a couple of smaller good old fashioned cast iron skillets and dutch oven in the basement of the RV for campfire cooking.

My thoughts are that some forks are built narrow and wide so the tire can be inflated to both widths. 1.75w or 2.125 w

They can definitely withstand 500 degrees. They are cast iron and nearly indestructible. The only thing that survived when my house burned was my cast iron pans. They survived a heat that melted or warped everything else made of metal. After sitting the ashes and rain for a couple of weeks, I rescued them, scrubbed off the rust, reseasoned and reused them for another 20 years. Just don't put a hot pan under cold water. It will crack. If fact avoid water, detergent and scrubbing as much as possible to build up a non-stick coating. I have had great results with this method: I wipe the pan out with a clean damp cloth, put in a dab of coconut oil (Avoid olive or other oils/fats with a low smoking point for seasoning the pan.) and sit it back into a hot oven or on a low burner until it is completely dry and the oil has melted. I then use a paper towel to spread the oil and remove any excess then put it back in a (preferably warm) oven. Over time a layer of carbonized oil will built up on the surface of the pan making it nearly non-stick. Scrubbing will remove this coating and it will take a while to build it back up.

Yes. The handle is rubberized but the fork is stainless steel. Quite solid and well able to stand up to daily use and abuse from toddlers.

Should work with loader/bucket for this size tractor. I used on a John Deere 4720 with a 400x loader and HD bucket. It is worth noting that my forks would routinely break the bucket clamps due to poor quality manufacture welding. After a couple of patch repairs, I took the forks to a local welding shop and had them add additional reinforcing straps and replace most welds on the brackets. Original welds did not have adequate penetration. Repair work cost $100. Not the forks are very strong and durable and no longer fail. As usual, you get what you pay for.

Good question. They could be a pound apiece, 4ozs sounds too light. They are solid, heavy metal and have held up well for me. I am no shrinking violet. I push 310 and ride quite a bit.

The answer is no. The most they will handle is 100lbs. Above 100lbs all bets are off! I returned my pair for a refund. They bent after the first use. I was very disappointed.

We use them on our forklift only, so I really don't know about cooking purposes. Sorry.

I dont believe they are but we sent them back asap. They are huge and heavy and something Fred Flinstone would use. Its not something I would use for a nice dinner or with the family and kids to clunky. If you like very large utensils they will be fine.

Ive bad mine for about 3 years. No real beefs as far as capacity. Dont know if i have had anyone 300 lbs use them on a regular bAsis, but theyve done a great job for the price

I certainly would think so. They are in rated at like fer like 600 lbs. I use them on a large John Deere garden tractor with no problem what so ever.

Yes. Clean, light and we use it on our fork. we bought two and rotate them. a bargain compared to what the locals wanted. and Aluminum. no rust and less weight.Win! geo EGWguns.com

Titan and other companies offer forks that fit a bucket; but, it's difficult to see the forks when picking up something. These forks fit the quick attachment on my 4510, and other John Deere quick fit accessory arms, and can be adjusted for width, quickly.

The bike frame and fork are made out of aluminum and steel respectively. The wheels are 36-spoke with steel hubs and aluminum rim. It should be able to handle up to 300lbs IMO.

No. All modern front shock/forks are clamped in, I have only seen solid forks that are threaded.
