I have the titan ones and use the crap out of them with no issues. My loader is only rated at 1200 lb so I'll never hurt them.

Two things that I see, the forks don't adjust sideways and no extra rollback built in.

They are designed to use a 2x4 in the tubing for the roll back guard (like my clamp forks that I got rid of did)
Replaced them with an ssqa set of 48" forks and happy as peach pie.
And no width adjustment would be an automatic no go for me.

I agree with both Xfaxman & homesteader13.... without width adjustment they would be a no go for me also...

And this is what I mean about "extra rollback built in". It helps to keep what you are carrying from falling off when going downhill:

I agree that adjustable width between blades is desirable, but would not "extra rollback" be simply a mater of curling the ssqa plate?

Another no. Adjustable spacing is worth spending a bit more on. My MTL forks were just over $500 last year and rated for 3500 lbs IIRC
