As an Engineer I am critical of things, but here is a honest review of this product. It works and functions, I would not try to lift 2000 lbs with this, the material is simply not there, nor is the footprint on the tractor bucket to support such a load. Most tractor buckets are simply not designed to handle that load within the small space that the forks are in contact with the bucket itself. I would image it would damage or at least bend the bucket. Don't get it wrong for moving around stuff that is light weight but more than 2 people can handle this is a easy product to utilize. For Design purposes, the threaded attachment needs to be fine thread instead of coarse thread and it would help to have a better base on the securing "washer/nut"(it tends to walk around while either tightening it or losing it) A lock nut would also be a great idea to incorporate as well.
