I'll start off by saying that these are good for light work and if you use these forks in an appropriate manner they should last . That said when I picked up 1400lbs these forks did ok but I wouldn't want to push them much more than that, due to them having not extra gussets by the bucket attachment point. My last issue is that no matter how tight you torque down these forks they will still start to move around after little bit due to the vibrations of the tractor . But in all for something about the size of a sub compact tractor these forks would be a great tool.
