Just got these. Construction is heavy duty. The spikes are tapered and fluted for strength. The chain is heavy duty and the frame is solid. Weights in close to 200lbs fully assembled. I received the spikes and frame in different shipments.
notfor manure......more for lifting hardwood logs to a comfortable height - no more kneeling to cut firewood. impression is that these are very ruggedly built. assembled without any issues. easy and quick even for an old timer. lifted and carried a few medium logs without any effort. today I had two 12' x 18" red oaks that I dragged out with my winch. lifted one and Kioti 4210 knew it had hold of a big load. a slow ride to the landing was all I risked. 3400 lb load. piece of cake.
