    Forks  Regular or Heavy Duty Forks??

    I have a 3720 and want either 2000# rated or a 3500# rated fork setup. Will a 2000# set bend and twist with a 3720 where a 3500# might not. I will lift heavy stuff and poke and dig and whatever with the forks. I won't baby it, I am sure. I know a heavier set will be stronger but would a...
