Chinese Forks and Bale Spear

[OptionalPunctuation]

I've read quite a bit about the lack of quality the Chinese attachment brands bring (Wolverine/JCT/Mower King/Landhonor/Topcat). I'm in Central TX and looking for a reasonably priced set of 48" (non-hydraulic) forks and a bale spear for round bales. The bale spear wouldn't be used often and the forks would mostly be used for pallets which weigh no more than 2,000. My questions is for those of you that have used these Chinese brands. If I get a set of forks that are "rated" for 4,000lbs and a double tine bale spear, should I be fine for a couple years? They won't get abused and I really don't want to splurge on a quality set right now, I have quite of other expenses coming up.

I wouldn't buy anything with a motor from one of these brands since those would likely need to be replaced soon (I've read the posts on here), but since these are stationary I was hoping I could get by for a couple years without going to Titan.

I personally think, as long as your able to inspect them before buying, to look at welds and such, you will be Ok, and you inspect them often after using
and just a suggestion,
but you might also, want to look on facebook market place or craigslist to find better brands used ones, many time you can get a good deal if you shop about
