I've been thinking of gettting a set of bucket forks for my 200CX, probably the ones that attach with chain and binders, mostly to move things around. However, I was wondering if these are also useful for digging, for instance, removing shrubs. Is this kind of setup heavy duty enough to do some digging without damaging the bucket? I've got mostly sandy clay, no rocks.

You have a QA bucket, you should not even consider "bucket forks". To far out in front, to much reduced lift capacity, and you cannot see them because the bucket is in the way. No way could you dig with that setup.

Have you looked at the Artillian forks?

Short answer: No. You'll bend the bucket within days.
