Forks for the bucket on a tractor

I asked this question in the Implement Forum and I will ask it again here. I bought a set of forks that are designed to clip on the front of the bucket on my Kubota tractor. Chains come under the bucket and hook on the back to hold it into place. It works very well in most situations but I got into a brush pile this weekend and bent the tynes beyond repair. I would like to hear from anyone who has had experience with this type of implement. I would like to use pallet forks but I cannot figure out how to hook them to the bucket. Does anyone know where I can buy a heavy unit that would work in this application? I could probably drill holes in the bucket to bolt the tynes, but I really don't want to go there until I have exhausted all other options. Any help would be appreciated. We are using these to pull brush piles apart to burn. As most of you know, when the bulldozer pushed piles up, they are not compacted enough to just light off, so they need to be pulled apart and fed slowly to burn away. The bulldozer can sure twist this stuff up when they are pushing. Any help would be appreciated. We have a long way to go.

I don't like those period as if you keep doing what you are doing with thenm you will ruin the bucket also as it is not design for the leverage you are putting on it out there. Never done what you are doing and have had lots of dozer work done over the years usually just wait a year on the piles and then set them a fire. they will burn up the biggest majority then you can push them around a little to finish them up. I usually have the dozer fellow do it when he is back in a year or so for another project

Go or call a junkyard, get a set of medium forks with frame from a fork lift ...about .35 a lb...and weld on the fittings to fit in place of your bucket.

We have a set like that at work. Over the years they have been bent into U shapes a few times. I usally take them home and put them on my 50 ton press and press them to get the U shape out of them. Not sure how bad yours are though.

Thanks for the reply Matt. I have heated these and hammered them on many occassions, and I can and will continue to do so. I was hoping that somebody could come up with a better idea for the design of the tynes. I bent them this time so that the clip where it hooks onto the bucket has been twisted 180 degrees. I doubt that I can get this out with heat, a hammer, a press or even a lot of prayer.
