I wanted forks without a back guard to make it easier to get in and out of my skidsteer: Mission accomplished. Nothing fancy, but they get the job done. Price was good enough and shipping was fast. Each fork has 3700# rating stamped on it. I'm not sure if that is each or combined, and I don't think it specified a load center. I'm confident they will pick up more than my skidsteer. Also, the side of the back plates have 3 holes on each side for mounting. I plan to add a post on each side.
